Chapter Text
Joong always walked the same route to his workplace, which was an office building in the city center.
In the mornings, he always took the same bus into the city and then walked through a large park before arriving at work.
He also took the same route back, exhausted after a day of work.
He walked that same route again right now, after work had ended for the day.
The sun began to set and Joong trudged through the park, tired.
Joong was bored with his life, which consisted only of going to work, sleeping, eating, washing, going to the gym, and occasional bar nights.
But there was no escape from this treadmill.
He had to work to live. Even though sometimes he thought that he lived to work.
“If only I had someone… someone who would be waiting for me at home when I came… someone who would love me unconditionally…” He muttered by himself.
Joong dreamed of having a boyfriend at home who would hug him at the end of a long, boring day and offer him affection and intimacy.
But even though he occasionally enjoyed going to bars on weekends, the men that he met there, didn't match his criteria of a boyfriend material.
Most gay men just wanted to have fun for a short time, and Joong was no longer interested in that.
It had been a relief at one time in his life, when the man he had dragged from the bar had already disappeared on his own when he woke up.
But now he wanted something else, someone to share his everyday life with, he wanted companionship.
However, that seemed like a distant dream.
He had also tried dating apps, but there seemed to be the same culture as in the bars.
Men posted pictures of themselves posing half-naked, and the descriptions were looking for one-night stands and fetish sex. That was not what Joong was looking for now.
However, Joong was not bad-looking at all, in fact he was a very handsome man.
He was still young, 27 years old, his body was trained and he had handsome facial features.
But his appearance could sometimes even be a disadvantage, because it was these loose men who easily approached him, thinking that Joong was a playboy and just wanted to get them into bed.
Joong was so exhausted that he decided to sit on a park bench for a while and take a sip of water from his water bottle.
As he sat on the bench, he watched as the last rays of the sun began to disappear from sight.
It was soon dark and the street lamps around him turned on one after the other.
As Joong sipped his water, he heard a rustling sound from behind the bench, and then a very small voice.
The voice said; “Meow…”
Joong turned his eyes and saw a cat sitting in a bush near the bench, staring at him.
The cat was mostly white, but had some black on its head, paws, and tail.
“Don’t you have a home? Are you hungry?” Joong spoke to the cat, who was still staring at him in the bush.
Joong got up very slowly, he didn’t want to scare the cat.
For some reason, he had a strong urge to pet it.
Its fur looked very soft and even though its eyes were fierce, it was really cute.
Joong crept closer to the cat, talking to it; “Hey kitty kitty… come here…”
To Joong’s surprise, the cat started coming towards him.
Joong crouched down on the grass and reached out his hand and soon the cat was so close to him that Joong was able to touch it with his finger.
The cat sniffed his hand for a moment and then meowed pretty loudly, then it pushed its head towards Joongs hand and butted it.
Joong felt his heart melt and he sighed; "Sooooo cute..."
Finally, Joong got up the courage and picked the cat up in his arms, and it didn't resist at all.
The cat just purred loudly as Joong stroked it.
"Do you want to come with me?" Joong asked, as if the cat would understand what he was saying.
But to his surprise, this animal meowed loudly in response.
Joong couldn't help but laugh.
He didn't have a boyfriend, but who would stop him from adopting a cat?
This guy had clearly chosen him. Or so he wanted to think.
Joong walked the rest of the way to the bus stop with the cat in his arms.
Joong stepped inside his house, released his new pet onto the floor, then walked into the kitchen, took out a bowl, and emptied a can of tuna into it.
“I hope you like this… I’ll buy you something else to eat and supplies for tomorrow.”
The cat walked over to the bowl and started to loudly plop food into its mouth.
Joong laughed and said; “You’re loud in everything you do, you meow loudly, you purr loudly and you eat loudly.”
Joong thought for a moment and then said; “So, I will name you Dunk.”
It was Friday night, but Joong had no desire to go to the bar and try to find a boyfriend for himself, the life partner, even if it was a cat, had already been found on the way home.
Joong sat down on the couch and watched as his new pet finished eating and then started walking around the apartment, getting to know every corner of it.
Joong started scrolling through his phone, and he typed pet supplies into the Google search field.
Soon he found a website that promised delivery the very next day.
“Hmmm… what do you need?” Joong muttered and turned to look at Dunk, who now jumped into the armchair, stretched, and then went to lie down on it casually.
“Toilet… sand… climbing tree… food…” Joong muttered as he filled his online shopping cart with everything that came to his mind.
Soon Joong had placed his order, and it was promised to arrive the next day at eleven o'clock in the morning.
"I hope you can wait until then... are you even house-trained...?" Joong muttered, looking at Dunk, who was now purring contentedly sleeping in the armchair.
Joong started to take off his clothes and prepare for a shower, he didn't notice that his new pet was awake again and watching him with his eyes narrowed.
When Joong finished washing up, he walked to his bedroom and put on his night clothes, then he threw himself on the bed.
He was very exhausted and ready to close his eyes.
He decided to set an alarm for himself just in case, so that he would be awake when the pet store's shipping arrived, then he fell asleep.
In the morning, however, he woke up before his alarm clock rang and he felt something heavy on his chest, it was Dunk who was purring loudly in his deep sleep on top of him.
"You are the cutest cat in the world..." Joong said with a smile and started stroking Dunk's soft fur.
Dunk opened his eyes slightly and let out a loud meow again, this brought a wide smile to Joong's face.
Joong reached over to the nightstand and took out his phone, turned off the alarm and looked at the clock, it was about half an hour until his shipping would arrive.
He lifted Dunk off his lap and headed towards the bathroom.
However, his new friend followed him, and just as Joong was about to close the bathroom door, it meowed loudly again.
“You can’t come in the shower with me…” Joong said.
“Meow…Meoooow” Dunk replied loudly.
This cat disagreed, it wanted to come with Joong wherever he went.
Finally, Joong decided to leave the bathroom door ajar, and Dunk walked in there, sat in the corner and stared at him from there.
“I’ll wash you properly later when I get the right soaps for you.” Joong said, looking at the cat and soaping himself up at the same time.
After Joong came out of the shower, he got dressed and started waiting for his delivery to arrive.
And not long after, his doorbell rang.
A young man stood at the door, smiling, and the hallway was full of boxes.
“Can you sign these?” the man said.
“Yeah, I can!” Joong replied and started to write his signature on the paper.
“Did you suddenly get a pet? Because you ordered so many things?” the man at the door asked.
Joong smiled and pointed to the hallway where Dunk was washing his paw and said; “Yeah, I took that little guy from the park yesterday and adopted him.”
“You seem like a pretty good guy.” The parcel company driver said and then he dug a piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote something on it.
After that, he handed the paper to Joong and winked. It had his phone number on it.
“Call me if you need help with your cat…” the man said flirtatiously.
At the same time, Dunk walked to the door and hissed loudly at the driver.
“Duuunk… stop… you can’t hiss like that…” Joong said and then started to lift boxes into his apartment.
The delivery guy left the door and wished Joong a good day.
Finally, Joong was able to carry each box inside his apartment and then started unpacking the items and arranging them in his apartment.
He was a little too excited yesterday and he had ordered a lot of stuff.
Dunk watched Joong as he unpacked the boxes.
Joong took food bowls from the box, filled one with cat food and the other with water, and then placed them on the tray on the kitchen floor.
“Here, enjoy your food! I hope you like this, I bought other flavors if you don’t like this one.” Joong said.
Dunk walked to the food bowl, meowed loudly, and began to eat the food with a good appetite.
While Dunk enjoyed his meal, Joong continued to unpack and display the items.
Finally, he had just one box left, from which he dug out the parts for the cat climbing tree and he began to assemble the tree, looking at the instructions.
“Hmm… this part goes here…” he mumbled
Dunk walked over to him and threw himself down on the assembly instructions.
“Hey… you can’t lay there! I need it!” Joong said, yanking the instructions out from under the cat.
Dunk meowed in disappointment, walked over to the armchair, and jumped on it to lie down.
From there, the cat stared at Joong as he tried to put the parts of the cat climbing tree together.
After half an hour, Joong was finally done, he stood up and admired the result of his work.
“That turned out really nice, do you like it?” Joong said and looked at Dunk, who was still lying in the armchair with his eyes half-closed, looking at him.
Joong placed the climbing tree next to the window and then said again; “Let’s put it here, so you can look at outside better.”
Dunk jumped down from the armchair and went to look at his new climbing tree, first he sniffed its surface and then jumped there, climbing to the top level.
From there, the cat looked out the window and meowed loudly. Joong interpreted this the way that Dunk was happy with his new home.
“I’ve been working all day, I’m really hungry…” Joong muttered, walked to the kitchen and started to cook for himself.
After eating, he took out the soaps he had put in his cupboard, which he had ordered for Dunk, so Joong could clean his fur properly.
“You can’t come to bed if you’re dirty… I don't know where you’ve been rolling around in when you were outside…” Joong muttered and scooped Dunk into his arms.
Joong carried his cat into the bathroom and placed it in the bathtub. Then he started to pour some water into the tub.
Dunk was a little scared and tried to jump out of the tub, but Joong got a hold of him and started washing his fur with quick movements.
“Meow meow meooooow!” Dunk shouted, dissatisfied with this action, but eventually he stopped struggling and accepted his fate.
Finally, Joong had finished washing Dunk and he started to dry the cat on a towel.
He lifted the cat, who was wrapped in a towel, up a little and then said; “Now you are clean! so you can sleep with me!”
Dunk replied with a satisfied voice saying; “meow”
Saturday passed peacefully, Joong spent time playing with Dunk and in the evening, he sat down on the living room couch to watch TV, Dunk jumped into his lap and fell asleep on it purring loudly.
“You are so loud… your name suits you very well…” Joong murmured and stroked his new pet lovingly.
The evening was already late and Joong decided to go to sleep.
He felt happy for the first time in a long time.
How could such a small creature make him feel so much love.
Now he would have someone waiting for him at home when he came back from work tired.
Even if it wasn’t a muscular handsome man who would hug him and make hot love to him at the end of the evening, he was satisfied.
Maybe he wouldn’t need a partner, now that he had Dunk?
Soon Joong fell asleep and Dunk slept in his arms purring loudly.
The morning sun peeked through the curtains and Joong woke up to it.
For some reason, he had the feeling that he was being hugged.
What the hell? He thought to himself and started to open his eyes.
Joong turned to look next to him, and he hadn't hallucinated.
Next to him lay a man who had taken a tight hug from him.
I wasn't at the bar yesterday... right? I haven't dragged anyone home... right?
Joong thought half-asleep, looking at the man who was purring loudly next to him.
Although Joong was confused, he couldn't help but admire how handsome and beautiful the man next to him was.
The man had deep black hair that was a little messy and partly on his face, his eyes were closed, but Joong could see his long eyelashes, which were beautiful.
The man had plump pink lips that were curved into a small, satisfied smile and he had the most amazing jawline.
Slowly, Joong lifted the blanket that was over this man and peeked at his body secretly.
Joong was amazed at how muscular and tight the man’s body was, and between his legs he had a cock that looked quite large even if it wasn't hard.
What the hell was going on here? Where had such a strange but beautiful man gotten into his bed?
After a while, the mystery man started to open his eyes and his gaze landed directly on Joong’s.
Then the stranger said in a low sexy voice; “Meow”
