I was sketch. And I encountered the white cat. I guess he doesn't seem care at all. I was painting something, and the white cat looked at me while blinking his eyes. The white cat smelled the paints and run away.

I guess he doesn't like the smell of oil paints. 

Work harder. Keep busy. 

I need to put more effort than others.

Otherwise, I'm just one of them..

A+.. I need to get A+ on everything. I heard that so-and-so's GPA was.. Yes I have to register to an English cram school. I have to work on my English. And I have to make sure I get a good grade on my TOEIC test.

And I'll join a club. It'll look good on my resume later. The professors will think of me as a well-rounded-student.

" Why are you always so busy? If you keep that up, you'll end up with no friends soon."

I have to meet my friends during the weekends. Maintaining friendship is also important.

" It seem like you put on some weight recently. Are you working out enough?"

I have to work out. I have to be slim. I need to give people good impression. I can't lose other people. I have to work hard in everything. I need to lead a busier life. I need to be in first place.

" Being first is everything. Being second is useless. "

Ah.. Mom.

" Why do you think I invest so much money into these studies that you put me up to?"

.....Why? That's what I want to ask. Why do you invest so much into me? To what avail? I really don't know anymore.. 

" You go to such an average college... It is not acceptable to be anything but the best in this mediocre environment. And what about finding a job...? "

An average college...? But I worked really hard to get in. I'm not pushing myself hard enough... I can still do more. I have to be busier. Highest test scores. more school activities, stronger self-discipline, and then ... a flewless resume.

Otherwise... I ..I....-

I was soaked in sweat. I woke up to a killer headache and felt extremely thirsty.  I touch my face and felt something wet. I have this recurring dream. It started ever since my parent divorced. It always comes back to haunt me just when I'm about to overcome it.

And I feel extremely lonely whenever I wake up it. Nobody knows the trouble I've been.. Nobody know my sorrow. No one noticed when I was crying alone in the dark. and no one paid attention when I was sick... No one..

Suddenly I heard a footsteps. I must woke up then animals up. I looked out to the door and saw.... It's the dog. Did he come over because he was worried? That's really nice of him.

A pair of gleaming eyes were watching me in the dark.  Thank god.. I'm not alone. " Thank you.. for coming.." He's so warm. 

So this is how it feels to be with someone after a nightmare. It make me feel relieved.. and give me comfort.

This recurring nightmare would always put me in great distress. Even though I don't with my mom anymore..  Even though she no longer send me to cram schools against my will... I still behave as If I'm  living with her. Whenever I wasn't making myself busy enough, I'd feel great pressure and anxiety. I was afraid of spending time doing nothing. Wasting time.

" Why are you crying? Is this your way of getting attention? "

That's not it.. 

I'm feel like I'm going to be abandoned If i fall behind others. That eventually on one would need me and I'd be left all alone.

I feel scared.

As I in a deep thought. I didn't know that I let a sob. I could never cry in front of other people. But I felt that, next to this big creature. I didn't have to hold myself back anymore. Just the fact that he's close to me is enough.

That was just what I needed.

Today is jun 8th 

I went to study nothing is special.  Just old boring day. 

( time skipped )

I'll go home. Should I take a bubble bath...? I went into the bathtub. Should I try some other cat shampoos? Something that has a sweet scent. I think the orange cat would like that. as I put the orange cat in the tub.

 The orange doesn't run away like the cats in youtube. 

It's just stay still and look at me. with those cute big eyes of his. I can't help but let out a chucked. " hey, buddy let me give you a nice bath okay?" I asked. The orange cat look at me and nod to me. I was surprise that the cat understand me to what I'm saying.

 But I set aside in this one. " Sooo.. What should I called you cutie?" As I the word ' cutie' it blush and look away from me. Huh... odd.. 

The day is over. I should take a rest, and have a fresh new start.

Today is  Jun 9th.

Today I should stayed home or study. As i was study I saw white fox, come into my room. It's walk up to me and sat at my lap. He seem to enjoy having his fur brushed. It's so warm and calm.

 I left them there. But little do I know both of them following me from behind. I walk into the living room and sat onto it. As I sat, I close my eyes having a deep thoughts.  

" Hmmm..... "

"Meow...?" 

"....? " All the animals are sitting in front of me.  I have a dilemma on my hand now.. What am I going to do with them from now on? 

" Hmm...... What should I do? "  It's been 10 days  since they appeared in my room. I asked around but no one wants to raise them. I thought about finding someone online. But I'm hesitant to give them out to a stranger. 

Besides... The last 10 days with them were...sort of.. Fun!... They don't cause troubles like other animals. and sometimes I feel like they can understand everything I say. It's not difficult to take care of them. All I have to do is to feed.  They are very friendly. 

Still.. seven pets, all by myself? One or two maybe okay, but seven..? 

"Hhmmmm....." all seven of them all are so cute. I've become attached to them. 

" ...Hhmm...." No matter how hard I try, I don't think I can come to a decision yet. Then I'll just keep them for a while more, and have them adopted as soon as I find the right person. I'll just take care of them for the meantime. "Good." Since we're going to living together for a bit more, maybe I should name them.

"Name.." ah.. THIS IS HARD!

"Dog, you're Jinnie. "

"White cat, you're Suga. "

"The wolf, you're Joonie. "

" The red fox is Hobi. "

" Orange cat, you're Mochi. "

" The white fox is Taetae. "

" Black rabbit, your name is Kookie. "

Done! Are their names too similar..? Oh well, they're just animals. Shouldn't be all to troublesome. I'll get used to it eventually. I don't know how much time we'll get together. 

"Nevertheless, let's all have a good time! "
