Jinwoo got home after his long shift at work. Jhonny came to him and meowed at his feet. He kneeled down and patted his cat's fur. "Are you hungry, princess? Didn't Seungyoon feed you?"

Jhonny walked away from him and towards her bowl. Then she meowed.

Jinwoo sighed. It seemed like his neighbor really forgot about his cat. He opened the cabinet where he stored Jhonny's food

Jinwoo sat on the floor and filled Jhonny's bowl with her food. "I'm sorry." He watched as his cat munched and munched. "I'm hungry too, Jhonny-ah."

He got up and went to his fridge. He still had some fried chicken from last night. He heated that up and also grabbed himself some of the kimchi and pickled radish his mother sent. Jinwoo ate in silence just like how he does every night.

It was as sad as it can get.

"Babe, look what I brought."

"Oh my god!" Jinwoo eyes widened. "It's so cute!" He took the cat from his boyfriend's hold. "Is he ours?"

"Not he, but she. And yes, he's ours."

"She's so beautiful. What should we call her?" Jinwoo patted the fur of their new pet.

"I already thought about that. I want her name to start with J too like yours, so I thought of Jhonny."

Jinwoo laughed. "What? But that's a boy's name."

"I think Jhonny looks as tough as a boy even though she's so soft on the outside."

Jinwoo smiled. "That's very thoughtful, babe. Okay, we'll call her Jhonny."

Jinwoo has a ritual before going to sleep. He would always open the drawer on his bedside table and feel the papers in them. They were mostly letters and poems his ex made and gave him. Then he would take out one crumpled piece of paper.

It's actually a photograph. Jinwoo would always uncrumpled the photo paper and looked at the image in it. It is of him and his ex, his first love.

"When will I forget you, Mino-ya? Will I ever?" Jinwoo would then sigh, crumple the photo, return it to the drawer, and burry himself with his duvet.

"Excuse me." Jinwoo called the attention of one particular student in the hallway but it seemed like he wasn't heard. "Uhm, excuse me," he repeated. He could ask other students alright but this one he was trying to talk to was the only one who had no companion like himself.

Jinwoo sighed before pulling the hem of the student's uniform.

"What do you want?"

Jinwoo smiled. "Uhm, I'm a bit lost. I'm just wondering where's the library. I'm not a student here, but I need to borrow books from your library for my research. The guard told me it was somewhere near this building. This is the engineering building, right?"

The student laughed. "Do I look like an engineering student to you?"

Jinwoo looked at him from head to toe. "Uhm, what's an engineering student look like?"
