A Dragon That My Cat Brought Home

Chapter 23: A suspicious phone call



– I've heard that it's a blue-haired kitten, but can I see a picture of it?

“I don’t know where you heard that, but it’s a false rumor. Where's Cattery? How did you know my contact information?”

“········”

They hung up.

The feeling is a little different from the calls I received because of Baek-ho, so the aftertaste is not very good. Come to think of it, unlike other places, the Cattery’s name was not mentioned here.

I opened the call log and tried to call the number I just called.

– Call was not made, after the beep please …

Hmmm, the bitter aftertaste is getting stronger.

******

“So, there is absolutely no chance that the story was leaked out of your house, right?”

– Bro, you really think of us like that! I'm hurt! After you were injured, the crazy guy said some gibberish about him, so she erased all the pictures on her cell phone.

"Is that so? Thank you."

– Do you know how much Ah-in missed her? I've told her mother that I'm not going to leak iit.

“I believe in you too. Who else can I trust but you? Still, I got a suspicious phone call, so I was worried, so I called.”

– Have you checked where it is?

“That was strange. Did they call you again today?”

– The number you are calling now is not a number…

“I called just yesterday, but today it says no number. I put in that number and tried to ring, but nothing came up.

– That's weird. what? So, if anything happens, call me. If there's anything I can help with, say anything.

After talking with Hae-in, I felt a little confused and sat there blankly, but Baek-ho approached me and tapped my leg. He looked up at me with his big green eyes and put his paws on his lap and squeaking seemed to comfort him not to worry.

As I stroked Baek-ho's head in gratitude, the blue dragon came over half-flying and half-jumping and stroking his head, asking him to stroke him too. Yeah, it won't be a big deal.

I calmed my mind as I stroked the two large and small heads alternately. First of all, let's take good care of the cats and write hard. No matter what happens…

“Pirong?”

I hugged the blue dragon tightly.

“No matter what happens, I will protect you.”

As if Baek-ho was cheering me on, he clenched his front paws.

“Oh, we can probably set up our Baek-ho massage shop.”

I opened my laptop while being hugged by Baek-ho. I need to finish writing the story of dragons and tigers.

As I wrote, the distractions disappeared. This story is especially good because it's well-focused. I forgot most things and was immersed in typing for a long time, and then suddenly I fell asleep. Nodding my head a couple of times, I pushed my laptop back and got up.

For some reason, it seems that I have been writing a lot these days. That's weird. I stayed up all night or the writing was not going well and I was sluggish.

It's not bad health either. After living with Blue Dragon, I healed fast, even after the pipe attacker.

I wanted to eat something to wake up to, so I opened the refrigerator and there wasn't much to eat. I'll have to go look at the market.

As I put on the coat, the blue dragon chased after me and held me. His eyes are shining brightly, wondering if I want to go out together. He grabbed my pants and touched my body as if climbing a mountain, climbed up to my shoulder and rubbed my head against my cheek. You can fly up at once, but riding up like this is another fun thing.

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Peep, Peep~”

“You can’t cry, I’m going to the market. You have to be at home with Baek-ho.”

I removed the blue dragon, who was swarming to follow. He put the prickly blue dragon in Baek-ho's arms and quickly left the house and locked the door. Baek-ho received a lot of attention from the public, and he also received a call from Catteries, and an unknown person who was interested in a blue-haired cat.

There may be times when you have to take the blue dragon outside, but even if you put it in the moving room, it didn’t feel reassuring.

Is there an enclosed mobile station without being able to see inside? Even if Blue Dragon is a little frustrated, I think I should get one like that.

I bought rice and ramen, and I also bought chicken breasts for snacking on white tigers and blue dragons. Can I buy some cabbage? I also bought some vegetables thinking of Blue Dragon, who is not a rabbit but likes lettuce and carrots. Blue dragon eats and I have to eat too.

“Oh, Myung-hoon came out to the grocery store, are you okay?”

“Oh yes, hello. It has improved a lot.”

They are the Bichon Frieze couple in the apartment opposite. I haven't seen it today.

“I saw the article. It was going to be a big deal. I'm glad you stopped. There are so many crazy people in the world these days, I can't live because I'm afraid. I have to emigrate.”

Even if they say that they emigrate, it is said that wherever you go, the world is wide and there are a lot of crazy people…

“Baek-ho did a great job, I thought cats couldn’t protect their owners, but it’s amazing. I wonder if we should raise a cat right now. Don't you have a cat that you need to send to your sister's hospital for adoption? A cat with a breed.”

“If possible, it would be better to be a unique . Like your  baby cat. The cat I saw back then must have been pretty big now, right? A furry blue kitten.”

“By the way, didn’t a reporter come to cover Mr. Myung-hoon a while ago? We met by chance on the road and we talked about a lot of things, but the article didn’t come out.”

“A reporter?”

“Yeah, haven’t you met me? He said he was going to call you.”

“ From where?”

“Where did hee say? Honey. Where did he say he was from?”

“Didn’t he say J Daily?”

It is said that a couple who went out for a walk a while ago met a man with a camera standing in the alley in front of our house. They said they were reporters and came to cover Baek-ho and me, but I was not at home, so they said they were waiting, and if they were close neighbors, they asked me to cooperate with the coverage.

The couple seemed to know each other well and told him little by little, such as how I found their dog. When I heard that there are kittens with unusual fur in addition to white tigers in our house, he inquired in great detail.

“I just said that it looks like Russian Blue, but the color of the fur is exceptionally blue. Then he asked me when that was, but I couldn't remember exactly."

“I thought he was going to write the story on it. It was a chance for Myeong-Hoon and the cats to ride the media.”

Did the reporter come to the front of the house? There were magazines that would cover Baek-ho, but J daily never contacted me. The self-proclaimed Cattery phone call that came in yesterday, isn't someone interested in Blue Dragon?

I got nervous and hurried back home.
