[NL NOVEL] Our House Pet (Chapter 3)

Our House Pet by Kang Miju


3. The pet was cool!



"Please come in."

On the way home, this guy never let go of my arm. His soggy dark hair and his black dress shirt with black pants and his black jacket with black shoes. Not only his eyes looked endlessly clear but also looked very dark. That guy was looking around the house like he was observing something like a dog. End of observation. He probably thought it was safe to be in my house. He slowly he came into my house, and I had to show him my character.

"Take off your shoes!"

This bastard... why was he there? What happened to him? He wore his shoes and went inside my house like nothing was wrong. I was barely able to clean up this morning how dare you wear shoes inside my house? I dragged him, and I had to take off his shoes myself. He was just standing vacantly... This pet will not able to live without any real master. I put his shoes aside to dry. He was all wet, so his shoes must be wet too. Wait a minute this... shoe...

"This is an expensive shoes?"

I'm sure this shoe is very high price. Although I don't have any money, it is my rule that I have to enjoy eye shopping. I always looked at the clothes, so I have broad knowledge about brands.

"Ah! towel."

I'm wet too but guest first... wait no. Why is that bastard a guest? Wait no. He was wearing an expensive shoe who knows he might be a rich family's young master? For now... politely. Yes yes. I did tea serving for a long time in the company. Let's stay calm and quiet.

"Wash yourself. I think this is enough for change."

Last time I bought something once on the TV shopping... That time they were doing some kind of event, and I won something from that. The funny thing is I'm a woman but the prize was men's sweats. And one more thing. Hm, he is all wet of course his underwear must be wet too! Luckily in our house there are several men's underwears. Unexpectly those are very... top brand. During the end of the year there were some presents coming in, and they said I could take one so I closed my eyes picked randomly... I thought I was gonna go nuts because it was set of men's underwear. Plus it was expensive sets. For curiosity I wore it once... It didn't feel so good.

"I should wash them too. Hm? What are you doing?"

Now I noticed he looked kind of off. Did I not tell him where the bathroom is? I pushed his back and put him in the bathroom. I turned on the heater, so warm water should come out soon. Once he comes out and wash these guys and after... I don't have animal foods, so I should do something with the rice. That bastard won't need animal food.

"What should I name you guys?"

On a dry towel I put them up one by one. When I was young, I had a chicken chick... Hehe, I was trying to eat it during summer for soup, but this one stray cat took it. When I was in my own world thinking, it was too quiet?

(Knock knock)

When someone is in shower, I should hear a water fall, but it was way too quiet. These guys are sleeping. I think they forgot they were hungry because they are in such a warm house to sleep... There is no way I couldn't hear anything.

"Excuse me. Are you alive?"

There is no way he was dead but in case I asked. Actually... I didn't know what to ask.

"..."

Still no reply. Whatever I don't care! You made this! I grabbed the door knob. Luckily... it wasn't locked I opened the door right away.

"Gasp... What are you doing?"
"..."

I put my head in the bathroom, and he was looking at me. Still no expression. No sign of surprise. He was... like a criminal sitting down in the corner. Seriously... this guy really doesn't know anything? Did I bring some retarded guy? But he was weird... Something strange about him. Or is he really... that cat and dog and bunny's brother? It is not because he is retarded is it because he didn't learn... it? Should I try to teach him how to?

"So take off your clothes. You unbutton like this... For shower you hold the hose like this and then you press this. And turn this this way..."

I showed him all different kind of motions and thought him very in detail. He looked very amazed his eyes were sparkling and looking at me. This... doesn't feel bad. It's been long time since... someone looked at me like that.

At first I thought he was retarded or something whenever I explained everything and looking at his reaction... made me feel better. It took about 10 minutes to teach him everything, and I didn't forget to teach him about how to wear his clothes. After that I came out of the bathroom and right away I heard a nice sound.

(Water fall)

Yes yes. I'm sure he is not stupid. Then... did he live somewhere in the wild? Like Tarzan. Really... he is full of mystery. He looked just fine. Because his hair was covering half of his face, I couldn't see his face well. Above all, I probably got sucked into his dark black eyes because I never saw any kind of eyes like that before.

"Hah, let me just cook. I'm just going to fry everything."

Those guys are sleeping. When they wake up, I should give them warm milk and tomorrow I should go buy some animal foods. For the bunny I can just give left over lettuce. I have to shower too. It giving me a headache.

(door opens)

I was cutting all those ingredients to make fried rice, and the door opened. Little bit awkward. No it was a lot awkward but anyway he did everything right. Although he wrapped his hair with the towel, he didn't do it right, so the water was dripping everywhere.

"Where did I put the hair dryer?"

If I leave him like that, he will probably get cold from it. I don't usually use dryer too, so I had to look all over the place for a long time, but it was in the drawer.

"Sit over here."

I pointed out a place with my finger, and he sat there without any compliant. Somehow... very cute! With the white towel I rubbed his hair. After I dried most of the water, I dried his hair with the dryer.

"Where are you from?"
"..."
"If you can't talk nod your head."
"..."
"You can hear me right? Then nod your head."
"(nod)"

This man... he is not disabled. Then why is he not talking? I started to regret about bringing him home. While I was sighing and drying his hair...

"Oh my gosh! It's blood!"

Blood on my... my hand! I was surprised. I was trying to clean myself with the towel but then when I saw the blood stain all over the towel... I was in panic. Everywhere... he had wounds everywhere on his body. I never noticed bleeding on his head. I probably didn't noticed because he was wet.

"Hospital! Hospital!"

I had a weak thought that he might die. Somebody dying is... I hate it. Even if... I don't know that person. Tear is about to burst. While I was panicking to go to the hospital, he suddenly grabbed my hand.

"Does it hurt? Huh?"
"..."

He was silent. I should stop the bleeding first! I was about to move again, but he didn't let go of my hand. Like when we first met... like he was stopping me from going..?

"Is it because you don't want to go to the hospital?"
"..."

He still had no action if I'm right, he doesn't want to go. It will be a big problem if he doesn't go to the hospital... You have to go!

"You have to go to the hospital. Your wound is too serious."

When I said that, he grabbed me harder. Now it hurts, bastard! My true feeling is about to come out. He really doesn't want to go to the hospital. Shit... whatever I don't care anymore. I don't want to drag someone who doesn't want to go, and I don't have confidence to win against you with the strength.

"Then let's treat it right here."

I think he understood, right after I said that he immediately let go of my hand. This bastard... is not a human. Seriously, I think he is a sibling of those cat, dog, and bunny. I brought an emergency kit. I think it's ripped... I can't get a needle and a thread to stitch it, so I just cleaned the blood and spray the wound and cover it with the bandage. When I put his hair away to clean the blood on his face...

"Gasp..."

This bastard... This strange bastard... is handsome! He was hot... like it even opens my eyes really wide. Straight forehead and clear features... after I looked at him closely.. he had really small face. His body was very muscular. I think I... caught a really nice fish. Hehe... Shit, I didn't even noticed I was drooling. No I can't do this! Even though I desperately need a guy... desperately... Who cares. That bastard is a guy too!

(stood up)

He stood up. I just fell backward because he suddenly moved. He was heading to the kitchen, and I followed him.

"Oh yeah! Everything is burning! Oh no!"

It will be finished if I just put the rice... it made a faint burning smell. He caught that? Maybe he really is not a human. After I thought him to sit on the chair, he automatically went to the chair and sat there. It was not burned that badly. I think it's edible.

"I think we can eat this."

I was talking to him while I was taking out the rice from the cooker. Right then I slightly had a eye contact with him. Oh my... He looks good. He looks good up close, and he looks good far away. I finally noticed he was a handsome bastard! I should feed him a lot!

I was standing there vacantly because I was staring at him amazed. He was staring back at me... He moved his lips... and opened.

"Food."
"Huh?"
"....Food."

The first thing that bastard said wasn't... 'I am this person.' nor 'Thank you for taking care of me.' nor 'Thank you.' This one word was...

'Food'

"You bastard! Hold it little bit longer!"
"Food."
"Damn it! It's finished!"
"Food."
"Damn it, eat it!"
"...."

I kind of threw the food at him and right after the food was right front of his nose he immediately... closed his mouth. I'm pretty sure what's going to come out in my dream tonight. Probably...

'Food. Food. Food.'

will echo in my dream. Hehe. Still... you are good looking!
