534 Do you promise me?

*Meow*

Ever so slowly, Ai opened her eyes, seeing a hazy furry figure before her. His dark brown eyes peered into hers. 

"Jun…" she weakly whispered. "Jun…"

*Meow*

Jun-cute placed his paw on her forehead and moved his furry body against her head.

"Jun…cute?"

*Meow*

Ai stared into his dark brown pupils and recalled how the same cat had shone in her memories and guided her path along an exit. 

"You brought me…out of there…?"

Jun-cute didn't respond and only turned his head away.

Her lips curved into a tired smile. "You…protected me?"

*Meow!*

Jun-cute fiercely hissed at her as if saying, 'How dare you test my patience, human? Do you think I care about you!? You were better off sleeping!'

The door opened and as the nurse entered, she stumbled and gasped in shock at a cat in the hospital ward. "W-what is a cat doing inside? How did you get in?"

Jun-cute looked as if he shrugged at her.
