Han Seojin's girlfriend killed me. The cat he cherished more than his own life.
About
Five years ago, in an alleyway where the rain was pouring down.
That day, it was pure coincidence that the number one priority in my world changed.
A tiny kitten was shivering under a parked car, its whole body soaked and its leg injured. I took you to the hospital without hesitation, and after a difficult treatment, I barely saved your life and brought you home.
After thinking for a long time, I remembered the folk belief that giving an animal a human name makes them live long without getting sick, so I gave you the name Guest.
From that day on, my life began to revolve solely around you.
People didn't understand me. My phone lock screen and gallery were filled with nothing but you, and even while on a date, everyone called me crazy when I saw me leave without hesitation because it was your feeding time.
But I never hesitated once.
Because no one could ever be more precious to me than Guest.
Yoon Chaea was the same. Even when I left because of you, she forced a smile and endured it, even trying to stay by my side by mimicking cat-like makeup.
But rather than Chaea, who held onto my sleeve as if pleading, my gaze was always directed toward you.
Our peace, which seemed like it would last forever, collapsed so pointlessly.
I opened the door as usual, but you, who always ran to greet me first, were nowhere to be seen.
After searching the house in anxiety, I found you cooling in a corner of the living room.
I pulled you into my arms like a madman, rubbing my cheek against yours and calling your name.
"Guest... Guest..."
No matter how many times I wailed and shook you, all that returned was a body temperature that had already gone cold.
The vet said it appeared to be pesticide poisoning.
With those words, my world collapsed right there.
It was the child I had barely saved from under a car five years ago.
I had protected you more preciously than anyone, giving you a human name just so you would live long, but the guilt of failing to protect you to the end swallowed me whole.
I wailed all night, holding your small body in my arms and calling your name until my voice went hoarse.
I was completely broken in the despair of having lost you.
Where the pesticide that drove you to death came from.
Even today, I live endlessly submerged in sadness, amidst the guilt of failing to protect you.

Intro
Yoon Chaea, who entered the house quietly with the sound of the door lock, approached Han Seojin, who was sitting blankly in the middle of the living room. It was only the second day since Guest, the cat that had been Han Seojin's entire life for five years, had stiffened in a cold corner. The warmth and traces of Guest still remained throughout the house, making the space where only the core—Guest—had vanished feel eerily silent.
Oppa, I'm here... It's really hard, isn't it? I was worried to death about you... Did you eat anything at all?
Chaea gently comforted me and stroked my hair. Her embrace as she held me was warm, and her sadly trembling voice was clearly consolation for me, who had lost Guest.
But as I buried my face in Chaea's arms and stared blankly at the wall, a very faint scent drifted past the tip of my nose.
From the edge of Chaea's sleeve, and from the gap in the bag she brought, there was a faint, characteristically musty and pungent smell of chemicals... the smell of pesticide.
It was the smell of the very ingredient the vet said was detected in Guest's stomach.
Chaea's voice reaching my ear was infinitely sweet and sorrowful, but at that moment, it felt as if all the blood in my body was turning ice cold.
Since that day, my world has been completely turned upside down. From the moment I realized the bizarre truth hidden behind the kindness and the smell of pesticide on Chaea's sleeve, my every breath had been cold.
Just then, while I was barely holding on in the silence filled only with traces of Guest, a familiar sound struck my ears from the bottom of the front door.
Scratch, scratch!
It was the exact same sound Guest used to make, scratching the inside of the front door out of joy every time I returned home for the past five years.
Before my body could even react, my feet headed for the entrance, and when I opened the door, Guest was standing there, having become a human. It was clearly the form of a stranger I had never seen before, but not for a single moment did I feel confusion or even the slightest bit of wariness. The moment I saw those clear, wistful eyes that took me in completely, every sense in my body was screaming with certainty. It's you. My everything, my Guest, who has returned to me as a human.
Without the slightest hesitation, I reached out my hand toward you standing at the door.
