Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Volume 6: Chapter 249 I've Found You
When the mistress hugged the black cat Choco, Yukino Yukinoshita felt that Dong Yunshan's hand seemed to move.
When the hostess was tickling Choco, Dong Yunshan's hand moved again.
Yukino Yukinoshita pressed his hand down, silently raised her head, and stared at his profile with icy eyes.
Dong Yunshan smiled awkwardly, forked a piece of apple, and held it to Yukino Yukinoshita's lips.
Yukino Yukinoshita gently took the apple in her mouth, about to eat it...
["Eat slowly~"] The woman took out cat treats and fed them to Choco little by little, a smile appearing on her tired face.
Dong Yunshan's smile became even more awkward.
Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze grew even colder.
Pulling her hand out from under the blanket, Yukino Yukinoshita held the apple between her delicate white fingers and offered it to Dong Yunshan's lips.
The Dong Yunshan opened its mouth and ate the apple.
In the movie, Choco licked the woman's fingers and squinted his eyes.
Yukino Yukinoshita saw this scene, and her hand, which was about to pull back into the blanket, was stretched out to Dong Yunshan's mouth.
Dong Yunshan: "...?"
Yukino Yukinoshita and kept a straight face.
Just now, Dong Yunshan was watching a movie and mistook Yukino Yukinoshita in his arms for a kitten.
Now the retribution has come.
According to Yukino Yukinoshita's creed, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a kitten for a kitten...
Knowing he was in the wrong, Dong Yunshan understood Yukino Yukinoshita's thoughts and, under her gaze, lowered his head to approach her fingertips.
The coldness in Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes melted away, turning into a faint blush that appeared on her fair cheeks.
The raised hand was pulled back into the blanket, as if trying to hide it.
Along with everything else.
["We'll be together forever... Choco ~"]
The female protagonist spoke so softly.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, Yukino Yukinoshita gently bit her lower lip.
Such lines usually foreshadow separation.
The woman's health was poor, and the black Choco, was getting old.
If the story continues to unfold...
"Once this week is over, the work will be finished."
Upon hearing that line, Dong Yunshan's heart instinctively tightened.
That's what he thought back then too.
["I'm so sorry... Yes, yes, okay! I'll contact you as soon as I find it..."]
"Yes! Yes!"
"Well then... I'll take my leave now."
The phone slipped from her hand after she hung up, and it took the woman a while to look up.
"Let's redo it."
["What's already been done, as long as I stay up one more night, it'll definitely be...no problem."]
Thinking like that will definitely lead to problems.
Dong Yunshan took a deep breath, her temples throbbing slightly.
The work was finally completed after working through the entire night.
The woman left home exhausted and returned quite some time later, still looking tired.
He sat blankly on the carpet.
Dong Yunshan understands this state very well.
That was the exhaustion after working overtime like crazy, when the body was pushed to its limits, and even the weariness was worn away.
When I receive a call from a friend I haven't seen in a long time, I only have the energy to give a few perfunctory replies.
It was a state of blankness and lethargy.
The bewilderment that appears when the frantically working brain and the body nearing their limits suddenly stop.
The phone rang again, and the woman stared at it for a long time before remembering to answer it.
"Hello? Mom?"
"Um... I'm fine, just a bit busy with work lately."
The woman walked to the window, hoping to use the warm sunlight to make her voice stronger.
"I'll come to your place next time, really."
With a light touch of her finger on the glass, the woman of the house heard good news in the warm sunlight.
"Congratulations... Mom."
After hanging up the phone, the woman curled up in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Feel the warm sunshine, then slowly disappear.
When the sun rose again, she was no longer in the room.
Choco searched aimlessly, but found nothing.
Jumping onto the windowsill, like the lady of the house, Choco raised its paws and pressed them against the glass.
The outside world roared and rumbled, while the lonely room remained silent.
The small black cat's silhouette remained still by the window, only its tail swaying gently.
It waited as usual.
But she didn't say goodbye as usual.
she...
I sat blankly on a bench in the children's park.
He listened expressionlessly to the children playing house.
"When we grow up, we'll get married."
"Okay! It's a deal!"
["Huh? Me? I guess I'll have to live alone."]
"Why? Aren't we supposed to be together forever?"
["If you two get married, there will be no place for me... I have to leave before I'm disliked."]
"Wow, so mature!"
"You can be our daughter!"
["I don't want to! I have my own parents, I don't want to be your daughter..."]
The woman lowered her head slightly, and glistening droplets of liquid fell onto her legs.
More droplets fell to the ground, and the heavy rain drove the people who had been wandering outside back home.
The sounds of rain outside and inside mingled together, blurring Yukino Yukinoshita's vision.
The woman sat in the rain, curled up helplessly.
until...
Meow~
The sound of Choco rang in my ears.
["Choco? Huh?"] The woman looked at the black cat that had appeared before her in disbelief. ["Where's the lock... How did you..."]
["Meow~"] Choco responded in a wronged voice.
["I'm sorry... Choco."] The owner hugged the black cat, wrapping it in his clothes. ["Thank goodness you're alright...I'm sorry..."]
["Let's go home... Choco."] The warmth in her arms brought tears to the woman's eyes. ["Thank you for finding me."]
Even in the cold rain, an embrace remains warm.
Yukino Yukinoshita sniffed softly, then saw the tissue being handed to her.
I took the tissue and gently wiped my eyes; my blurred vision cleared.
It turned out that her friend noticed the woman's weak voice and called again out of concern.
When the call connected, all I heard was Choco's voice.
Worried that something might have happened to the woman of the house, her friend rushed over and used the spare key that the woman had given her to keep for safekeeping to open the door.
So, Choco rushed out of the house and, following his owner's scent, found her.
[In some faraway and unknown place]
I've been searching for her.
[My Reasons for Searching for Her]
[It was because she was also searching for me]
I will stay by your side.
Because I like you.
Although I cannot tell you.
But it's okay.
Because I like you.
I will stay by your side.
Volume 6: Chapter 250 I Know Everything
The woman returned to her previous life and began a new one.
The film begins with a farewell, and until the very end, She and Her Cat remain together.
6VII1
Despite the happy ending, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't hold back her tears.
Because such beauty is like a dreamlike bubble.
The film cleverly uses the difference between the world seen through a cat's eyes and the world seen through a human's eyes, sketching out a complex picture that teeters between beauty and cruelty within a warm and peaceful daily life.
The cat's simple world and the owner's complex world intertwine in the small room.
The cat is always looking forward to the next day, but the owner doesn't know how much longer they can hold on.
Yukino Yukinoshita wants to look forward to the next day carefree like a cat, but she is also worried about the heroine's situation tomorrow.
She thought of one sad possibility after another, and tears welled up in her eyes as she tried to hold them back. But the moment the beautiful ending came into view, the crystal tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Yukino Yukinoshita felt the arms hugging her tighten.
The warm embrace gradually calmed the sadness surging in her heart.
"No need..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips and tilted her head back.
Even without such a warm hug, she can adjust on her own.
She can do it herself...
Yukino Yukinoshita's red eyes reflected the reddened eyes of Dong Yunshan.
Recalling Dong Yunshan's previous stiffness, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly.
