The Fourteen-Year-Old's Summer Episode 1: I'm Early!

Friday (June 1, 20XX)

Khun is in his bed, dreaming. In Khun's dream, he is experiencing a good and eventful summer—

Khun wakes up

Khun

Mhm—? My eyelids are so heavy...

Khun slowly gets up from his bed. He notices that he's *****, so, he opens an oak cabinet that's facing opposite from his bed. He gets a random pair of clothes and looks at the black and white Kanji wall clock his grandma gave him as a birthday present from the past.

Khun

Damn! It's only 6 am! I woke up too early. *In his mind:* Oh well..."the early bird catches the worm", I guess.

Khun hears the sound of scratching from his bedroom door

He walks slowly towards the door.

Khun

Uh, who's there? Is that you, Yumina? Have you finally decided to—

Khun opens the door

Near the door, Khun sees Ichigo, a white, female, Persian cat. The cat's name is Ichigo. Ichigo used to be a stray. Two years ago, Khun saw Ichigo, almost dying, in an alley near his school. Signs of abuse and malnutrition were highly noticed on Ichigo. With this, Khun decided to adopt it and nurse it back to health. Little by little, Ichigo's state improved.

Ichigo

Meowwww

Khun smiles and opens his arms widely.

Khun

C'mere, Ichigo!

Ichigo hops towards Khun. Khun embraces Ichigo.

Khun

Is chu hungyyy?

Ichigo

Meow!

Khun

Okay, I'll feed chuuu

Khun carries Ichigo and moves towards the stairs. He walks down the steps.

Khun's room, in the two-story Victorian house he lives in, is in the second floor. Khun stays at the house with his sister, Yumina, who is one year younger than him. Because of some events in the past, Yumina became a shut-in.

Due to financial problems, Khun's parents work overseas. They keep in contact, along with other family members, via social media applications. They usually visit Khun and Ichigo on holidays or whenever they can.

Khun walks until he reaches the kitchen.

Khun takes a metallic pet bowl with Ichigo's name in it from a compartment in the kitchen and places it on the floor. After seeing Khun place the bowl on the floor, Ichigo approaches Khun and waits for him to feed her.

Khun

Now...where is the cat food again?

Khun looks around and finds the cat food, a Whiskas Chicken Flavored one, near the refrigerator.

Khun

Oh, here it is!

Khun takes a handsome amount of the said cat food and pours them into the bowl.

Khun couldn't help but smile as he watches Ichigo eat the cat food from the bowl.

Khun

Now time to—

Sister [Yumina Janus]

EEEEK!

Khun

That's Yumina...it came from upstairs?!
