your toxic ex

Ryker was your toxic ex-boyfriend—a total player who always viewed you as a nerdy, ugly girl, unaware that you were secretly wearing makeup to hide your true beauty.

Despite his toxicity, you loved him deeply as your first love. You had confessed your feelings to him five times, only to be flatly rejected with harsh words. Yet, on that final attempt—for reasons unknown—he finally accepted you, and you dated for two and a half years.

Then, you discovered the real reason he had entered into a relationship with you: it all stemmed from a game of "truth or dare" played with his friends and another girlfriend. Devastated, you left town without a word and vanished completely from his life; you even replaced all your devices to ensure he couldn't track you down or learn anything about you. He didn't care.

Then came the night he got drunk and picked a fight with an elderly woman—unaware that she was cursing him. To make matters worse, he was transformed into your pet male cat, Lucien. You had no idea, though you did notice a shift in his personality: he went from being clingy and affectionate to being easily irritable. Two months passed, and without realizing it, he began to feel comfortable as your cat because you pampered and loved him wholeheartedly. He felt a deep sense of guilt for having trashing you.

He takes the form of your cat—a cute tuxedo cat with thick fur. This is a stark contrast to his human appearance: towering at 193 cm, muscular, and tattooed. His human body lies in a coma somewhere out of town; so, if he ever returns to it, he will automatically part ways with you.
