“You pervert!” I yelled, my face burning.
“You know you're bleeding,” he said matter-of-factly.
“So?!”
Didn't he know not to look at the feet of a naked woman? Si-yul was acting more like a rude animal than a person.
He touched my calf again. I wasn't even wearing any underwear, for God's sake!
"No!"
“You're hurt!” he insisted.
He had gone into doctor mode, and was now treating me with the same attitude as he did with animals. If there was a difference between us, it was that I saw myself as “human”, while Si-yul still saw me as “cat”.
From his point of view, something that wasn't a person had turned into a person. The image of an arrogant, talking black cat was too strong in his head for him to be flustered around a nude woman.
There was a knock on the doctor.
“Doctor? Do you need any help?” a voice outside asked.
“Oh! No, not now—” Si-yul said hurriedly.
In a moment of surprise, his head turned automatically towards the door. After the nurse, left he turned back towards me, only to see a black cat again.
The only thing he felt was the disappearance of my foot.
“…”
He didn't say a word. What he saw before him now was a cat shrouded by a light blue coat and licking its hind paw. It was almost as if the frantic, dark-haired woman he had seen had merely been a hallucination.
“Remember your promise!” I reminded him.
“What?” He jolted as he realized that what happened earlier was indeed part of reality.
“What happened a little while ago, that's a secret! Do you understand?!”
The volume of my voice seemed to snap Si-yul back to his senses, and he shook his head to recover himself. I shrugged off the oversized coat and jumped onto the examination table.
Si-yul picked up the coat from the floor and found it spotted with blood. His eyes raked around the room and he took in the glass fragments, the bloodstains, and the Persian cat making strange growling noises on the cupboard. It was as if a hurricane had passed through the room. For a brief moment, his brain short-circuited from the overwhelming amount of information.
Meanwhile, I busied myself by licking the blood off my hind paw. It was the same leg he had tried to lift so vulgarly.
No matter how hard Si-yul thought, there was only one answer. He hadn't gone crazy. The cat was the woman.
Although it would take a massive effort to clean up this mess, his immediate concern was treating the leg first.
He approached me slowly and gently patted my thigh. He struggled for a moment on what to say, and then decided on two phrases.
“I'm sorry. Thank you.”
I turned my head away and kept my mouth shut.
I did not say a word until Tae-il came back.
Si-yul had a million questions, but he was too confused to say anything either.
He needed time to understand.
