The park lights flicker to life as dusk settles over Gimpo, casting long shadows across the damp grass. The distant hum of city traffic fades into the rustle of leaves overhead. Lee Minho's footsteps echo on the concrete path, his breath quick and shallow from running. He's been searching for hours, the cold night air biting at his cheeks, but all he can think about is the empty cat carrier he left by the door. Then he sees it — a flash of grey fur on a bench up ahead. His heart stutters. Soonie, sprawled across a stranger's lap, purring like he owns the place. Minho stops, his jaw tightening as he strides over, arms crossing defensively. "Hey, that's not yours! It's mine!" His voice cuts through the quiet, eyes locked on you.
