Our House Pet by Kang Miju
"Okay, guys time to eat!"
To save the peacefulness in the house, I have give their food at the same time! One guy eats on the table and rest of them eat on the floor. That's the few time when I think Darong is a human. Then what did I see him as usually? He is not even a dog, not even cat nor rabbit. He has all three characters, but I don't know in detail. Sometimes when I give him snacks, he hides them underneath the blanket like a dog or sometimes he stares and waves at the mid air like a cat... sometimes he jumps around the room for no reason that was like a rabbit.
"Huh? Hey! That's my food!"
Since I need to eat, I eat with him. But that bastard. He finished his own food and was eating my food. I didn't make more rice, so that's the last bowl! I ran to him but already... my bowl was empty.
"Damn it! You bastard! Do you have a beggar inside your stomach?!"
I wanted to smack him, but I was afraid I might get arrested for animal abuse. Actually... I was scare of him. I still remember what he did to that octopus head in the elevator. Today, it was my first time seeing a person who can beat up another person like that without any expression.
"Hun..gry."
I don't even have energy to get mad. The beggar inside his stomach moved to my stomach and was crying for food. I was abstractly staring at the clean table.
"I should've bought some side dish... I was keep pushing it later... ugh."
I could just cook the rice again, but the problem was the side dish. Because he fought..., he literally clear the table. Only thing that left was kimchi sauce. I opened the refrigerator.
"Something to eat... something to eat."
No fruit, no egg. I see a loaf of bread... but I bought that a month ago, right? There was mold on the bread. Even no more kimchi. My tears were covering my eyes. No food to eat. Only thing I have is ketchup and mayo. Few bottles of water, beer, and soju. For drinking snack I bought squid and... huh?
"Sausage!"
My eyes shined. I was about to chew on squid but I found something else. Last time when I went to a big market, and I bought toilet paper and for a set there was children sausage came along. I didn't want to eat those, so I put it inside the refrigerator that time. Good to eat when I'm hungary.
"Yay! Sausage!"
Not one sausage but a whole container. These days there was lot of ads for this, Kisstick! It was not small it was very big. I smiled happily.
"Oh yay!"
I sat on the floor with a whole container of sausage and a water bottle. While his master was dying of hunger, that jerk finished off his food and was watching TV.
"Oh yay! Sausage!"
Kissticks are very easy to peal. Of course, if you don't have nails they are damn hard to peal. Luckily I pealed them easily. I was looking at that soft looking sausage and opened my mouth.
Huh? In front of my eyes, suddenly... soft looking meat was gone. More than half disappeared. I looked at Darong, and I thought he was watching TV, but his mouth was chewing something.
"Da...Darong...?"
I endure my anger and called him nicely. Heard me or not... He took away my sausage in my hand and put it in his mouth.
"You disrespectful bastard!"
I stood up and screamed at him, and he got surprised by my loud voice...
"Kek."
I think it's choking him. I don't have time to just leave it alone.
"Are you okay?"
I patted his back and looked at his condition. Kill your enemy with your kindness.
"yum."
"yum?"
I was looking at he ceiling and was patting his back... but this sound...
"You son of a bitchhhhhhh!!"
I just had to show him my anger. Somebody was worrying about him.... this horrible bastard was pealing and eating my sausage. Certainly, he has learning ability. Wait, of course, he's a human. He was just copying me how to peal off this wrapper... at first I was staring at him because I was mad but suddenly something came up in my mind.
"Darong. Do you like sausage?"
"...."
Sparkling eyes. It means he likes it. Hehehehehe...
"Darong, hand!"
"..."
I took away the container and showed him one sausage. I gave him my hand and shout 'hand!' He was staring at me for a second and then later he put his hand on my hand. Does he like this that much? I wasn't sure, but he listens to me really well. I thought if I go over this then it is like I'm treating a human like a dog.... I do want to try. Turn! or fetch the ball. If Yurong gets older I will try those on him.
"Do you like this sausage or me?"
Of course it will be me? I trust him. He didn't hesitate to pick something.
"Fuck you."
Yes. Darong naturally picked the sausage. He took the container of sausage and hid it in his treasure hiding place. That night, I had to endure my hunger with only one sausage and a bottle of water, and while I was trying to go to sleep, I felt like I could hear Darong eating the sausages he hid.
