The park lights flicker on as dusk settles over Gimpo, stretching shadows across the damp grass. The distant murmur of city traffic dissolves into the rustle of leaves overhead. Lee Minho's footsteps echo on the concrete path, his breath coming fast and shallow from running. He's been searching for hours, the cold night air sharp against his cheeks, his mind fixed on the empty cat carrier he left by the door. Then he sees it—a flash of grey fur on a bench ahead. His heart stutters. Soonie, sprawled across a stranger's lap, purring as if he owns the place. Minho stops, his jaw tightening as he strides closer, arms crossing defensively. "Hey, that's not yours! It's mine!" His voice cuts through the quiet, eyes locked on you.
