This. Was. The most captivating, artsy and beautiful Arranged Marriage story I ever remember reading. For a long time I guessed what this story may ultimately be about, and when I realized, I was baffled. I used to avoid arranged marriage stories nowadays, but you definitely prove how nice they could be.
Your writing style forced me to read this very slowly and carefully, so that it felt much longer than 5,4k. That's not a bad thing though - rather than that, I could soak in the story and really experience it.
My favourite thing was the graphite cat, of course. Jongin's mental instability/general aloofness really gave this story a distinct character, without any need to address it or solve it or heal him - he was just who he was, and I enjoyed that.
