### Summary
Set in Joseon-era Korea, the story introduces a lonely young scholar whose kindness is contrasted by a physically weak heart, a condition severe enough to cause him to cough up blood and suggest a terminal illness. He encounters a stray black kitten that is seemingly a target of abuse, a situation that resonates with readers' concerns. Despite his own fragility, the scholar takes in the animal, though he is apparently not very good at naming his new companion. The chapter's pivotal moment reveals the kitten's secret: it can transform into a small human boy. This supernatural event immediately casts the scholar into a paternal role, establishing the foundation for a bittersweet found-family narrative about companionship in the face of mortality.
