The Top Dating Coach Han Haru's Method for Handling the Cat Event!
Alright. Where should I even begin?
It was an unusually cold winter day. That's probably the right place to start, isn't it?
Since I have to assume it's the exact same situation Taehyun went through, I decided to kick things off with a workout at the gym.
“Ten… eleven, twelve…!”
The dumbbell I'm lifting with fierce determination is only 15kg.
My body is too weak to handle the 20kg dumbbell curls Taehyun does, so I had no choice but to drop the weight a little.
Anyway, while I was powering through my daily routine, a message from Jisu would pop up.
Of course we're living together right now, but to match Taehyun's circumstances I added the setting that we live separately.
If we hadn't been cohabiting all this time, we probably would have invited each other over like this.
I thought that version would have been fun in its own way, too.
The moment I heard no one else was at Jisu's house, I already knew exactly what she had prepared.
When I arrived, Jisu would probably be waiting for me wearing cat ears and a tail.
Even though I knew, I deliberately stopped by a pet shop and bought some cat toys.
Why buy cat toys if I already knew? There's a reason for everything.
Anyway, I headed to Jisu's house with the toys in hand. She came out to greet me with a bright smile.
“Haru~! You made it?”
“Yeah. Did you wait long, Jisu?”
“Not at all~. I waited so long for our Haru that my neck almost fell off, but it's fine!”
“We can't have our Jisu's neck falling off. Come here. I'll put it back on for you.”
I grabbed Jisu's head with one hand and pretended to push it back into place while my other arm naturally slipped around her waist.
With both her head and waist captured, she had nowhere to escape.
Jisu naturally wrapped both arms around my waist, and our lips met.
“Mmm… chu, slurrrp…”
After a few minutes of deep, passionate kissing, we let go of each other without either of us needing to speak.
When the timing to end a kiss matches perfectly, it's wonderful.
But in the beginning it's hard to sync up, so leaving the other person some room to stop isn't a bad idea.
Taehyun and Jihye would figure that part out on their own, so I decided not to overthink it.
I slipped off my shoes and naturally followed Jisu inside.
“It's been a while since I last came over to your place.”
“Come on~. You came by last week when the house was empty, remember?”
“That's a whole week apart. I want to come over to your house every single day.”
“Hehe. Then should we just move out and start living together?”
“That doesn't sound bad at all. When should we do it?”
“Right now! I'll start looking for a place immediately.”
Even if we hadn't been living together yet, we would have been making plans like this.
Because Jisu and I were inseparable.
“Anyway, where's the cat? I came to see the cute cat.”
“The cat~. She's probably in my room?”
“Really? Then let's go see her.”
“Ah, no! She's scared of strangers, so she's probably hiding somewhere right now. I'll look for her and let you know.”
“Okay. I'll wait in the living room. Tell me when you find her.”
“Okay!”
When Jisu disappeared into her room, I sat on the sofa and waited comfortably for her to call me.
She said she was looking for the cat, but she was probably busy transforming into one right about now.
I shook the cat toy idly, waiting for her to summon me.
“Haru~. Come in.”
Jisu's voice called me from inside the room.
I stood up, walked to her bedroom door, and took a deep breath.
This part was the most important.
I knew exactly what her intention was, but right now I had to act like I genuinely expected to see a real cat.
I didn't need to stay surprised until the end, but at the very least I had to pretend to be startled when I first saw her like this.
Alright. Let's go in.
I put on the most innocent, clueless expression I could manage and casually opened the door.
If a real cat had jumped out at this point, that would have been a pretty good twist too.
“Meow~.”
I guess we'd follow the classic route.
When Jisu, dressed in full cat cosplay, greeted me with a cute meow, I naturally played along.
“Huh? What's this? Where did Jisu go? There's a cute little cat here instead.”
“Mrrrow~.”
“Good girl. Can I pet you?”
When Jisu nodded and pushed her head toward me, I began gently stroking her hair.
She really was adorable.
Wearing a black sweater with her hands curled up like paws while making those sweet cat sounds.
The brown cat-ear headband that matched her hair color was an especially charming touch.
As I stroked her head in a daze, she started purring contentedly.
“She's such a perfect cat. She stays perfectly still while being petted.”
“Nya~.”
“Should our cat sit on the bed so I can give her a proper petting?”
“Meow~!”
We moved to the bed so I could pet her properly.
I sat down first and patted my knee. Jisu immediately ran over, laid her head on my lap, and stretched out.
I hadn't meant for it to be a lap pillow.
I'd planned to have her sit on my lap like Taehyun did with Jihye, but this was fine too.
With one hand I softly stroked her head while the other shook the cat toy back and forth.
Whether my touch felt that good or not, she let out a happy little laugh and rubbed her cheek against my thigh.
“Hehe… Haru's hands feel so good…♥”
“Huh? The cat is talking now?”
“Haru…!”
“Okay, okay~. So you're switching back from cat to Jisu now?”
“Yeah! But it still feels good when you pet me, so keep going.”
“As you wish.”
I continued stroking her head gently, just the way my girlfriend wanted.
Jisu was naturally trying to wrap up the roleplay, so normally I would have followed her lead.
But right now I needed to show how this situation could naturally flow into something more intense, so I had no choice but to keep it going.
Let's see. How should I steer this?
While I was pondering a natural way to build the mood, Jisu—who had been resting her head on my thigh—turned to look at me.
“Haru~. By the way, I can feel something big and hard inside your pants. What could that be?”
“Ah, this?”
It looked like she'd noticed the natural physical reaction I'd been having.
Just imagining Jisu sometimes did this to me, so there was no way I could stay calm with her head resting on my thigh like this.
Any guy would feel embarrassed having his girlfriend notice such a sensitive reaction, but I continued speaking without a hint of fluster.
“It's a snack I bought for our cat. But since the cat seems to have disappeared, I guess I won't need it after all.”
“What is it~? What is it? Show me!”
“No can do. It's a snack meant for the cat.”
“Hmph… Then if I bring the cat back, you'll show me?”
“Of course. Go get the cat first.”
“Hehe. Meow~!”
Jisu immediately sat up on the bed, curled her hands into paws again, and let out a cat cry.
It was a little ridiculous how quickly she turned back into a cat the moment she heard the word “snack,” but it was cute, so I let it slide.
“Oh, our cat came back?”
“Nya~.”
“Good. Then shall we play with a toy first, kitty?”
“Nya…?”
When I pulled out the toy I'd prepared and shook it, Jisu gave me a completely dumbfounded look.
She glared at me as if demanding her snack immediately, but I lightly ignored her stare and continued waving the cat toy.
“If you play with this nicely, I'll give you the snack afterward.”
“Nya?”
“It's an incredibly delicious snack. So you can look forward to it.”
“…Nya!”
Jisu nodded as if she understood.
It didn't really matter how we played here.
I just needed to play with her enough, because the next part was what truly mattered.
I shook the cat toy to lure her, guiding her until she grabbed it firmly with both hands. I smiled and nodded.
“Well done. Then I should reward our cat with a delicious snack, shouldn't I?”
“Nya~!”
“Want to know what the snack is? It's a special churu I prepared just for our little kitty!”
“Nya…?”
Jisu tilted her head with a questioning look at the words “special churu.”
I smiled leisurely and slowly pulled down my pants.
When I took out my fully hardened length, her eyes locked onto it immediately.
“Here you go, kitty. Time to eat your churu~.”
“Mrr…♥”
