Jisoo woke up early today, stretching out lazily on the luxurious silk sheets that he had personally claimed as his own. He was in the mood to spend the day in his human form, something he only did when he felt like indulging in the finer aspects of life.

After a long, refreshing shower, he stood in front of the mirror, abs glistening under the bathroom lights as he ran a hand over his toned stomach. His sharp grey eyes scrutinized his reflection, and a slow, satisfied smirk crept onto his lips.

“Not bad... not bad at all. Those exercises from YouTube are actually working. Hah. Maybe I should make that stupid human get me a gym membership.”

He turned to the side, admiring the perfect angle of his jawline and the way his muscles flexed under his smooth, flawless skin. His ears twitched in amusement as another thought crossed his mind.

“Wait a second... with this face, this body—am I not better than those pathetic human models? Tsk. If I entered their world, they’d have no choice but to bow before my beauty. Hah. What a waste of potential.”

For the next hour, he admired himself in the mirror, striking different poses, flexing his muscles, and tilting his head to find the perfect angles. Perfection. Absolute perfection.

Feeling particularly inspired, he grabbed the yoga mat that human had begrudgingly bought for him (after days of endless demands and complaints). With graceful movements, he took it out onto the balcony, rolling it out under the warm morning sun.

He began his stretching routine, extending his arms and arching his back like the elegant feline he was. His movements were smooth, controlled, and obviously superior to the clumsy humans he’d seen attempting yoga online.

“Hmmm... this feels good... Maybe I really should just abandon that foolish human and live independently. I mean, look at me. Am I not too perfect to be someone’s ‘Demi-cat’? Tsk. What a ridiculous concept.”

But, as soon as that thought crossed his mind, his stomach growled.

“...I suppose having a servant does have its perks,” he muttered, ears twitching as he rolled up the mat and headed back inside.

Jisoo strode into the living room and grabbed the laptop he had permanently borrowed from human. The moment he had discovered this small magical box that showed him endless things, he had immediately claimed it as his own, never returning it. Human, in defeat, had been forced to buy a secondhand replacement while Jisoo kept the superior device with the bitten apple logo.

He opened it with a satisfied smirk, quickly navigating to YouTube. Today’s agenda? Fish recipes.

He had decided long ago that he could cook if he felt like it. Of course, he never cleaned up afterward—why should he? That was human’s job. His duty was simply to create culinary masterpieces and leave the mess for his servant to deal with.

As he watched a tutorial on a butter-seared salmon recipe, his ears perked up.

“Wait a second... today is Sunday.”

That meant...

“That human slave has no work today, right? Tsk. So that fool is probably still sleeping at this hour.”

His sharp eyes flicked toward human’s closed bedroom door.

“Unbelievable. They’re still asleep when there’s important business to attend to? Do they not realize that if we don’t leave now, we won’t get the freshest fish?!”

His tail flicked in irritation as he closed the laptop with a loud snap. Without bothering to put on a shirt, he strode across the apartment, his bare torso glistening under the soft morning light.

He didn’t knock. Why would he? A prince does not knock.

Instead, he kicked open the door, his grey eyes narrowing at the sight of human still curled up in bed. His ears flattened in disapproval.

“Wake up, stupid slave!! It’s already almost 7 AM! If we’re late, we won’t get the freshest fish!”

Human barely reacted, only twitching slightly before turning over and pulling the blanket higher over their head.

Jisoo’s eyes widened. They were ignoring him?!

Unacceptable.

With a single, effortless movement, he leapt onto the bed, landing gracefully on top of human before gripping their shoulders and shaking them violently.

“Wake up! Wake up, you fool! Do you not understand the importance of this day?! FRESH FISH! YOU THINK IT JUST WAITS FOR YOU?!”

Still no proper response.

His tail flicked. His eye twitched.

Fine. If they wanted to play that game.

Without hesitation, he lowered his face dangerously close to theirs, his breath warm against their ear as he whispered,

“If you don’t wake up right now... I will make sure you regret it.”

Would he knock over their favorite mug? Scratch their laptop? Refuse to acknowledge their existence for the rest of the day? Oh, he had so many ways to make them suffer.

And just as expected...

Human’s eyes snapped open in terror.

Jisoo smirked in victory.

“Good. Now get dressed. We have very important shopping to do.”
