A Dragon That My Cat Brought Home

Chapter 14: Carpe diem

I raised my arm and scattered my imagination of a kindergarten video. As a writer you have very good visualization skills, but thats not always great.

What are you doing, uncle? Are there mosquitoes?

"No. Is it possible that there are mosquitoes in the new year times? I just did it because my eyes were a little dizzy. Now, shall we see how big youve grown?

When the two nephews are alternately lifted and shaken up and down, the children wave their arms and laugh. Their innocence is like our blue dragon. Under my feet, my sister's cats meowed and ran between my legs and brushed against me.

When Hae-in showed the toys he had brought to his nephews, the children cheered and clung to Hae-in. This is a well-crafted dinosaur robot. The movements are quite nice. After all, once a dinosaur maniac, always a dinosaur maniac.

Seeing that his brother-in-law also likes it, it seems that for men, dinosaurs and robots are also special beings that stimulate childhood memories.

There was a time when I was also obsessed with dinosaurs with Hae-in when I was young, and I liked Ankylosaurus. Although it was a herbivorous dinosaur that didn't harm others, it had excellent defense, and it was interesting that it had a hammer or a club on its tail.

While the brother-in-law and Hae-in were playing with my nephews, my sister poked my side to talk in the other room about the blue dragon. We also talked about Hae-in's blue dragon hatchling theory, but it seems that the older sister is more interested in the blue dragon's cognition than the external change.

You think he understands words?

How else can he understand us that well? He acted like he made cat noises until I told him to stop. Then he relaxed and went back to his normal cries.

Thats really special. Hes different from the kids who are just quick-witted, or the kids who understand words because theyve lived together with their familiesd for a long time and completely understand the expressions and tone of their families.

The older sister was lost in thought for a while, then shook her head side to side and laughed.

Dont think too deeply about it. Blue dragons are something that cannot be explained by modern science or medicine anyway, so it would be better to just cherish them and look at the changes. As Hae-in said, it may be that you have been given a sacred mission. A real fantasy that came to the writer of a fantasy novel, its wonderful!

Listening to my sister somehow calmed her heart and made her feel at ease. Okay, let's not try too hard to figure out what we don't understand. Carpe Diem. If you faithfully live each day in the present, there will come a day when everything will be revealed.

What if it is not revealed? Because we do not know what is mysterious, it is mysterious, and the reason why the desert is beautiful is because a spring is hidden somewhere.

As the years changed and Blue dragon grew a lot in the span of 3 months. Of course, hes still small, but I'm not worried about whether I would hurt him if I held him wrong, or whether he would fly away if I blew on him. His teeth, like grains of rice, formed nicely, and even his short legs were strong enough to hop. Since his body is a little chubby, I dont have to worry about whether I would kill him if I rolled in my sleep.

There is a lot of pranks going on, and he gets slapped on the bridge of the nose one by one from time to time, but he quickly forgets it and runs around, dropping or messing things up. Even now, while playing and rustling in the plastic bag he has seen in the market, he gets caught in his handle and cannot get out and is crying beepingly.

Looking at him, hes just a hungry baby cat. I let blue dragon go and looked at his body. At least once a day, the Blue Dragon's body is checked for changes, but nothing new has been discovered yet. Please don't let anything appear anymore.

I organized the food I had brought from the market and took out a piece of chicken breast I prepared yesterday and a piece of white fish from the refrigerator. Baek-ho and Blue dragon have slightly different eating habits, so Baek-ho likes chicken and doesn't like fish very much, where blue dragon prefers fish. Well, blue dragon likes everything. Unlike a cat, he like fruits and vegetables as well.

I gave the cats a snack and I drank a strong coffee. Although the weather is gloomy as if it will snow, it is a peaceful day. The contest is currently being judged, right? I wonder how people would have read my novel. There were no big battles, magic, hunters, monsters, etc., so it may have been read too boring. Next time, I'll try to write a more powerful and eventful novel.

I was going to rest without writing anything until the contest was announced next month, but fingers were itching. It was funny seeing that I wanted to write something when I just stopped. There were many times when I was scratching my head, regretting why I went down this road, and insisting that it would be better to find another way, but I forgot it all. What kind of story should I write this time?

Piaang~

Nya~

The Blue dragon suddenly made a fuss and I woke up from my imagination. Ah you brats, I was just about to think of another great story idea!

Ah what is it? I was thinking of a masterpiece right then!

Piyaang!

Blue Dragon was chasing something near the wall next to the bathroom, and Baek-ho was following him, concentrating.

What is it?

Something black and tiny was moving. Oh my gosh! It must be an bug. What kind of bug can be found in winter?

Hey, hey, leave it alone. You can't eat that. Your brother will catch it.

While hurriedly looking for toilet paper and chasing after it, the Blue dragon moved sideways with its tail inflated like a raccoon tail, and violently showing off his teeth.

Such a commotion after seeing one bug. Get out of the way, hyung will catch it.

Fortunately, it wasn't a cockroach. I picked up a small bug that looked like a tiny beetle or a rice weevil with a tissue and threw it out the window.

Now its done. Your brother got rid of it. Aren't I cool?"

"Piro pirong!"

Blue Dragon looked at me with respect with heart eyes, but Baek-ho just nodded his head a couple of times with a grin on his face and went back to bed.

I looked around the area where I first saw the bug to see where it came from. If the bug did not come from outside and came from inside the house, it would not end with just one. If there is a hole in the wall or there is a place for insects to come out, you need to act quickly.

"Uh? What is this?"

There was one more worm. There was another one in the corner next to the bathroom, already dead.

Why is this burnt?

Its a little burnt? There are no fires around here. Why would this happen?
