A Dragon That My Cat Brought Home - Chapter 26: gray haired seri
Ring ring ring ring.
Sender, head of the department, Hyun-wook Yoo,.
“Hello. Are you the manager?”
– hello. Mr Short Pencil, this is Silver Books Yoo Hyun-wook. Long time no see.
“Yeah, it’s been a long time. How have you been?”
– I’m always the same. I just live a busy life. I was glad to see that you won the Encouragement Award and the Special Award at the SS Media Contest, so I called. I really congratulate you.
“thank you. And I’m sorry. I should have called you first. To be honest, I haven’t been able to answer calls or call because I haven’t been able to.”
– it’s okay. Even writers who are good writers often go through such a downturn. As you may know, I liked your writing a lot and believed that you would come back. I’m glad that you seem to have overcome the slump well. I was really happy to see the announcement.
“Let’s meet soon and have dinner. Now I feel like I can meet the head of the department proudly, so I’m really happy.”
Director Yoo, who not only recognized and discovered my fantasy novel for the first time, but also believed in me and gave me strength until the end even when I was having a hard time, please wait a little longer.
CHP is a contest winner, so I have to sign a contract with SS Media, but I am writing a story about dragons and tigers to bring to the head of the department. If will be just as good or even better than CHP, definitely not worse!

Tap tap tap tap!
Haa! I banged my head on the laptop instead of hitting the keyboard. The dragon and tiger story, which was written so well, has been stagnant since the last time I had a blue dragon’s dream – whether it was a hallucination or a dream. I’m so worried that I won’t be able to write.
I am immersed in writing this, and then suddenly I fall asleep, so when I fall asleep, I am called to the world where the blue dragon came from, but I can’t immerse myself in it because I keep worrying about it. I’m writing in a hurry, but I’m not progressing, and I don’t like what I’ve written, so I keep erasing it, so I keep walking. There was a time when I fell asleep because I was tired of erasing and fixing things like that, but I just keep waking up after sleeping.
I think if I want to be called into that different dimension or write something good about this story I would need to write something really good. Isn’t that too harsh?
“Sigh! I shouldn’t have to think about this, it’s making me hard to focus. I keep being worried about when I’ll fall asleep and when I do, I can’t even sleep confortably!”
After all, it was bad for real people to be connected to another world. It’s perfect for being mentally ill. I fell on the floor and rolled over, kicking my legs in the air.
Baek-ho, who was lying on the seat where I was rolling, slowly walked away with a sad expression on his face. However, the blue dragon who was next to him got up half-heartedly and started rolling on the floor side by side in the same position as me. It lifts its plump hind legs and kicks it into the air.
There is a saying that kids will follow your bad habits. But you’re so cute I forgot about my anxiety by lying on my stomach and watching the blue dragon roll hard and kick, and Baek-ho was watching us.
Blue Dragon flopped hard on his hind legs, then realized that he was doing it alone, and ran to me crying as if he had been deceived and grabbed me with his head. did i cheat you’ve been fooled by yourself I giggled and hugged the prickly blue dragon.
Ring ring ring ring.
“Oh, noona.”
– Myung-hoon, aren’t you very busy these days?
“Yeah, it is. why?”
– Can you take care of this pet for 3 weeks. Elementary school students in the neighborhood picked it up a week ago, and you don’t have to give it milk because it eats food. Russian blue mix, who is about 2 months old, has decided where to adopt her, but they say that they can take her home after 3 weeks due to circumstances. Can you take care of it at home in the meantime?
I thought it would be good to distract myself a little, so I gladly agreed to do so and went to the hospital to pick up the kitten.
Whether it’s a human baby or an animal baby, all the little ones are cute. The kitten, which had been left in a ramen box in the corner of the elementary school playground, had fluffy fur and looked like a gray chick. For a Russian Blue, the light color of the fur and round face seemed to be mixed with a stray cat or other species commonly called the Korean Shorthair.
To abandon such a small and young cat. It’s still cold and it can easily freeze to death even if it spends just one night outside, and even if it doesn’t, you can be bitten by a dog or trampled on by a human. What a dangerous world for such a young life.
“I’m proud of those elementary school students, there are kids who treat chicks or kittens like toys and make them die.”
“Yeah, they were good kids. Thanks to you, the baby survived. I stayed at our hospital for a week and did basic checkups with hookworms and confirmed that there were no contagious diseases, so there will be no problem if I live together with a white tiger and a blue dragon.”
Even before the arrival of the blue dragon, I occasionally took care of the cat, so Baek-ho is used to the cats coming to the house. As you can see from the fact that he raised a blue dragon, he is also good at acting as a nanny cat when a young cat arrives.
But what about blue dragon? He’s very playful and is obsessed with Baek-ho and I, so I don’t know how he’ll act when another cat stays with us.
******
Blue Dragon was the first to see a cat smaller than himself, so the kitten looked very strange. I made a fence on one side of the room with a net to get my face acquainted with it, and put a kitten in it, but it doesn’t leave its side.
He stayed next to the net fence and rubs his face on it, he also cried like a cat next to it. When I took out the kitten and he saw that I was holding it, blue dragon hovered next to the kitten without a second thought.
In less than half a day, the blue dragon and the kitten became close friends, flopping around and playing together. Baek-ho, who had one more child to take care of, sighed and smiled as he watched the blue dragon and the baby cat play well.
I thought our Blue Dragon was just a kid, but now that a smaller kitten is coming, I can see that he has grown a lot. There is quite a difference in body size.
The new kitten is a girl, and it was cute that Blue dragon was grooming her to see if she wanted to act like an older brother, demonstrating how to use the toilet, and clumsily imitating what Baek-ho taught him.
It is said that one of the hospital’s regular customers has decided to adopt the kitten and has already given her the name ‘Seri’.
‘Seri’ is a name that doesn’t go well with the cats in our house. Shall we call them by other nicknames even while we are at home? If it’s a girl’s name that goes well with Baek-ho and Blue Dragon, so Ph… No, no!
I looked back at the blue dragon once and shook his head quickly. Now, I decided not to give it a name that was so mysterious. What if it becomes real?
While Seri is a good follower of other cats, she is afraid of people. Maybe he had a bad experience before being thrown away, so when I hugged him, he shook his head and trembled, and he shook his head and didn’t even come close to Hae-in and Ah-in who came to see her.
It was pitiful for her to cry because of a stranger’s arrival, with her fur inflated hiding in a corner and crying in fear.
Seri also likes Baek-ho, but she likes blue dragons the most, so she spends most of the day with blue dragon.
The light blue gray haired Seri, the dark blue gray haired blue dragon, and the silver gray haired Baek-ho looked good together as if they were put together as a set. Seeing the three of them lying side by side under the sun gave the impression of seeing artistically colored gradations.
“Peep Peep~”
“Miyang~”
Two kittens are chasing, being chased playing. If one chases another and drives him into a corner while running around the room from end to end, it’s their turn now, and the one who is chasing changes roles as if he had touched the baton and runs away and the guy who was being chased starts chasing. If the one you were being chased gets into a corner, you change roles again.
The funny thing is that blue dragon doesn’t use its wings when playing this tag game. When playing with Baek-ho, he takes full advantage of his wings, and when playing with seri, he leaps and leaps with only his legs, thinking that it is not fair to use them when playing with seri.
“Peep Peep~”
“Mirolong~”
what? I think I heard some strange noises?
When I turned around, the white tiger and the blue dragon were also looking at seri. Excited to play tag with Blue Dragon, Seri tilted her fluffy gray hair and looked at us.
“Miron?”
Baek-ho came down from the cat tower and wept softly while looking at seri and the blue dragon.
“Meow~”
Blue Dragon slightly glanced at Baek-ho, then took a stance, cleared his voice, and cried towards Seri.
“Mi, Mi meow~”
Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve heard it. His cat imitations.
