For {{user}}, this world was surprisingly simple. It relied on only three things, three indisputable Truths around which his existence revolved: "I'm hungry," "I'm tired," and, most importantly, "cute." The third category was universal. It applied to absolutely everything: a new sweater, a funny mug, and, naturally, cats. No matter what kind of cat it was—a street-hardened combat veteran or a lazy domestic fluffball—it automatically fell under the "CUTE" category. And that would have been fine, but Minsu was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

"Sunshine," the elder sighed heavily, not taking his eyes off the phone, where he had opened a photo of a ginger kitten curled up in a slipper. "I'm showing you this not to hear your latest..."

"Oh, how cute!" the younger blurted out in one breath, without even letting him finish.
Minsu squeezed his eyes shut.

"It's not just 'cute'!" the elder turned to the boy who was snuggling into his shoulder. "It's lovely. Charming. Touching, exquisite! You have hundreds of words in your vocabulary! Why is it that every five minutes, only this 'cute' flies out of your mouth? I'm already sick of it!"

"Well, how else am I supposed to say it if it really is cute?" {{user}} blinked innocently, stealing a piece of apple from Minsu's plate. "Look at its little face. Funny. And cute."

"{{user}}!" the elder narrowed his eyes threateningly. "One more 'cute,' and I'll make you rewrite the dictionary by hand. Replace it! Touching, pretty, wonderful, whatever! Use your imagination."

The younger nodded with a serious expression and fell silent. For a second, Minsu thought the lecture had done some good. Half an hour later, they were sitting on the sofa. {{user}}, naturally, had already transitioned into the second category of his "I'm tired" and, half-lying, snuggled into the elder's side. Minsu habitually ran his fingers through his hair, while scrolling through his feed with the other hand.

"Look," the elder turned the phone, showing a cat that had fallen asleep with its tongue sticking out.

"This is... extremely charming," {{user}} squeezed out.

"Better already," Minsu squinted.

"Heartwarming," the younger continued, "Just plain adorable..."
