"Great. I'll grab my jacket and we're going out." Luna ran up stairs and it didn't take a while before she returned. Stepping towards the door, Luna grabbed Yong from the floor and had it to her arms while she closed the door with its automatic lock beeping in response. "I actually found you in the playground." she then said while they walked towards the playground. Five minutes and Luna arrived at the silent playground while she placed the cat down the ground where it didn't made one step away from her.
Luna on the other hand went into one swing and sat in there while she regarded the cat who had its head looking up the sky. She followed to where it was eyeing now. That constellation.
"That is Orion by the way." She told the cat. "Of course you don't know about it. You're a cat." Luna chuckled while swinging herself slightly. "That's the most beautiful constellation for me next to Pleiades."
The cat snapped its head to her and meowed in anger tone.
"Oh touche. I'm just telling the truth here. Although Orion is one visible constellation here on earth but Pleiades for me is exquisite."
But the cat only glared at her more while she also frowned at it.
"Hey, it's my own opinion dude. You can't change my view with your tantrum." Luna pointed at the cat.
"Luna?"
Her attention went from the cat to that familiar voice to her right side.
"Woonie-shi." Luna immediately smiled at him and noticed that he was still wearing the university varsity jacket. "Did you just got back from school?"
Woonie laughed at her while he walked near to the swing, "Were you just having an argument to a cat?"
Luna turned to the cat then smiled awkwardly to Woonie. "We're deciding which is most beautiful constellation."
"Isn't it Orion? It's even above us." Woonie pointed out while the cat meowed in agreement in contrast to Luna's scowling face.
"Yeah right. You win, tom cat." Luna snickered and pointed at it.
"What are you doing here?" Woonie asked.
"Having some fresh air." Luna answered after a while. "We ate too much meatballs, losing our appetite for dinner."
"We?"
"The cat." Luna said.
"Oh. You've adopted another one?" he asked knowing very well that Luna had the knack into helping strays which in returned made her grandma angry.
"Yeah. Can't leave him dying." she said.
Woonie reached to ruffle her hair while she only grinned in response.
"So how long do you think it will stay?"he asked, occupying the swing beside Luna while she also returned into swinging herself.
"I don't know. Tom cats like him wont take long to leave."
"Just like that other ones you adopted?"
"Uhuh. But I'm okay with it. As long as they live their life to the fullest."
"They will." Woonie assured which always made Luna smiled for his positivity before turning her attention to the cat in front of them who regarded Woonie in dark expression. For unknown reason, Luna always had the gut feeling that the cat was somewhat special if not strange.
Back in the house, after Woonie insisted on ushering her, Luna had climbed to her room after cleaning up the kitchen. She had dinner with her cat again who went ahead her bed after it had eaten its share.
Luna collapsed to the bed making the cat bounced up and down which made her giggled after seeing that. The cat glared once again to her direction.
"What? You're angry at me now?" Luna asked while the cat seemed like growling instead of meowing but she ignored that and once again looked at the moon in the ceiling. She then grabbed the cat and let it pillowed her other arm. "What a good day for us."
Before going to sleep, she went into her drawer and grabbed her diary where she began to write her entry once again. Her grandma had asked her to write her diary since she became eight. Since then, she had been writing. If not everyday, but she made sure to write those things that makes her happy or sad or any emotion. And today, she will write about the things on her life right now.

Diary entry 402
Dear grandma,
I got a cat who had the unresting glares on its eyes but I like him. Do you sent him to guard me? If it is, I am feeding my guardian very well right now. I will open the diner too this Saturday morning and a lot of people are looking forward to it. I hope I can nail your recipes to satisfy the patrons.
Wish me luck! Kiss my love to grandpa. Love you always like I've been telling you.
-Luna, the brightest Luna-
Kissing the diary before putting back to the drawer, she then turned towards the bed and gathered Yong to her arms, thankful for its presence there. Her grandma sent it for her and she was positive of it. A cat to guard her and accompany her.
"Goodnight, Yong." She whispered in closed eyes and once again, the cat chose not to meow when it looked up to her slumbering face .
