Jieun woke up in cold sweat. She ran a hand through her already messed up hair while sighing, the pain still there. She looked out the window, but it was pitch black, other than the lone street lamp that was there.

She grumbled to herself before getting out of bed, she was getting tired of doing this every night. As she sat on the edge of her bead, her fingers touched something.

A teddy bear.

Jieun smiled as she remembered what happened yesterday. She got up from bed and went to the kitchen and started a cup of coffee. She had an assignment that was due today, so she figured that it was a good thing she woke up after all.

She checked her phone for the time since her eyes were still adjusting and she couldn't see her clock.

3:00 a.m

Just great. She had 4 hours to kill before her first class started. Luckily for her, she only had 2 classes today, the sad thing was that she also had to go to work. Which meant that there was no chance for her to come home early and get some sleep.

She made her way to her couch, which was one of the only things her living room, along with a small T.V. She put her coffe down on the floor as she picked up her laptop.

About two hours pass before Jieun finishes her assignment. As she stretches she remembers that the boys will be coming to visit her at the cafe, which made her smile.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, a frown overtook the smile. She got up and looked out the only other window in her house, it was dark, but the sun was coming up a bit.

Will they ever look at me the same way that they look at Soojin?

She stared at a cat that was walking up the street. She had seen it before, quite the fat cat, so it had an owner. But she noticed that it always comes up her street.

She looked at it before it stopped in front of her building. The next thing that it did made her freeze.

It looked up at her.

Jieun blinked a few times, thinking it was her imagination, before realizing that the cat really was staring at her. She was shocked, it was like the cat knew she was watching it.

Jieun shook her head a few times before looking at the time.

5:00 a.m

"This is ridiculous." she muttered as she went to her room to get changed. She changed into a oversized hoodie and sweatpants and grabbed a can of tuna before putting on a pair of shoes and locking her door.

As she came out of the building the cat was still sitting there and staring at her window, when it sensed Jieun it looked at her and tilted her head a bit, as if in question as to why Jieun was outside.

Jieun simply shook her head, as if answering that she didn't know why. She came closer to the cat, usually cats get up and move when someone comes closer to them.

But this cat was absolutely still. She squatted down beside it before opening the can of tuna and then putting in front of the cat.

Jieun could see the cat's eyes sparkle as it looked down before it looked up again and stared at her. Jieun simply pushed the tuna closer to her.

The cat lowered its head and began to eat, it looked like it hadn't eaten it quite a while. It made Jieun a little mad to think that it's owner didn't give it enough food. She slowly stroked the cat's fur while it ate.

Jieun fully sat down and crossed her legs, sitting on the ground next to the cat. Once the cat was done it looked at her for a good minute. Then it suddenly jumped into her lap and made itself comfortable.

Jieun sighed before continuing to pet it. At least one of us is happy, she thought as she stared at the cat. A little while later, the sun had come up all the way.

Jieun checked the time on her phone, not believing that she had been out here for very long. However it turned out to be 6:00.

She had been out here for an hour? There's no way, it had only felt like a few minutes! Jieun looked down at the creature in her lap, who just stared back with innocent eyes.

She sighed, she had gotten too attached now, there was no way that she could leave it out here all by itself.

Just as she was about to get up and take the cat inside. A lady started coming down the street shouting, "Bongsik! Bongsik! Where are you? Bongsik!"

Jieun looked down at the cat, who was looking at the lady, and then started to get a clearer picture. Oh you naughty kitty.

Suddenly the lady ran up to her, "Oh Bongsik! There you are you silly cat!" She looked at Jieun in gratitude. "Oh thank you so much for finding her, she ran away yesterday and I was worried sick when she didn't come back."

"Oh it's really no problem! In fact she found me this morning. I saw her outside and she looked hungry so I bought some tuna. I hope that's okay." Jieun replied as she looked at the woman, there was something about her that reminded her of someone else.

"Oh it's fine, she'll eat practically anything. Oh she had me so worried I couldn't get anything done yesterday, if my son found out I would get in a lot of trouble. He cares about the cats a lot." She added. One thing was clear, this lady really liked to talk.

Not that Jieun was complaining. There was something about her that made her want to help her. "I could help you with your chores if you need it?" she blurted but without even thinking.

For a minute the lady was speechless. Before a wild smile took over her face, her eyes disappearing and turning into crescents. Okay, now she was sure that she had seen someone who looked like her.

"Oh really! That would be lovely, my son and his friends are coming over for dinner today and I don't want the house to be a mess." She said, she began to walk in the direction of the house.

At first Jieun was confused, this lady would just let anyone into her house if they had found her cat? But she had no time to think. Her door was locked and she had her phone. She started to sped up to keep up with the lady.

"My name is Lee Sejin by the way." The lady said as she continued to walk.

Jieun smiled, "Nice to meet you Mrs. Lee, my name is Song Jieun."

Looks like she's going to be skipping classes and calling in sick today.
