BigHit's first female trainee finally sees the light of day by joining Bangtan Sonyeondan, a decision seen by many as a joke until it starts to pay off. Join her journey from nothing to Korea's Noona.
*Disclaimer - boys are real people and I'm just...
"He looks like he's going to bite my nose off," Hobi muttered as he stood well away from the cat who was spread across the back of the sofa, taking up most of the space.
"He really isn't, he's just figuring you out," Grace laughed while taking hold of the scaredy cat's hand and bringing it over to Min-Ji, running it over the cat's head and down. Of course, as expected, Min-Ji started purring and Hobi felt himself sag in relief.
"Just wait till he spreads himself across your shoulders, that's fun. He's only done it with me and Jungkook once, but he likes to do it on Seokjin's shoulders. It's funny watching the two move around, especially in the kitchen. Looks like a scarf," Grace's voice came from the cupboard where she was grabbing her coat.
"I don't think I'm ready for that."
NAMJOON
He felt honoured, he really did.
It wasn't often his sister left him in charge of something but with meetings all day and the numbers of members slowly dwindling, Grace had left him in charge of her only pet (and it wasn't Yoongi). Min-Ji had arrived in his crate with food, a collar and a leash which meant Namjoon could give him a walk around their apartment compound.
His family always had dogs so looking after a cat was completely different, especially one so independent and indifferent but loveable with everyone. He had become a fan favourite, slowly taking over Bam's spot as the second favourite pet of BTS with Yeontan still in first place. Holly never stood a chance.
Namjoon let the cat wander where he wanted and tried not to have a heart attack when he jumped up onto a tall wall, pausing to be nosy then used Namjoon's shoulders to get down. He was not going to let anything happen on his watch.
When Min-Ji finally had enough, the two of them wandered back to Namjoon's apartment where he unclipped the leash and let the cat have a wander around. It had been an hour when Namjoon went to look for him, finding the animal spread across the pillows on the bed, fast asleep.
"This was the easiest babysitting job ever," Namjoon later grinned as Grace came to collect her pet.
"You won't be saying that when he coughs up a fur ball."
JIMIN
In preparation for a visit to his favourite sister, Jimin had made sure he had taken his allergy tablets and slipped a mask over his face, knowing full well the hairy monster was probably going to give him an allergic reaction anyway.
But he didn't care, he wanted to meet the new addition to the family since he wasn't going to get nieces or nephews anytime soon. Min-Ji would just be the replacement for a baby which would later be proven true by all Bangtan members.
The cat was only a year old but wise and weary of everything as he watched from his bed, looking at the new person who had invaded his space. "He takes awhile to warm up to anyone," Grace sighed as she made Jimin a drink. "Jin got a scratch across his knuckles for his trouble and my parents have replaced two pairs of shoes but Min-Ji is getting better."
Jimin didn't care, however, as he made his way over to the cat bed to hold out a couple of fingers. They were sniffed cautiously and nothing happened for a good minute but then Min-Ji sat up and stretched, nudging his body into Jimin's hand.
Well that was it.
Grace came from the kitchen to find the two on the couch, Min-Ji in Jimin's lap and Jimin looking utterly delighted. "Ah well okay, I guess he has favourites," Grace grumbled as she handed the mochi the drink and sat down next to him.
"What can I say noona, everyone likes me."
TAEHYUNG
No one could compare to Yeontan.
No one.
Yet Min-Ji was becoming a contender and Taehyung had heart eyes the moment he noticed the cat in the BTS common area in HYBE. He watched as staff members, even Hitman Bang, fawn over the chilled cat who watched the world go by without a care.
"He doesn't give a shit," Seokjin had commented in passing on his way to the studio, leaving some water behind.
"He just lays there and watches everyone," Namjoon then commented, pausing to give the cat a cuddle on the way to a meeting. All the while Taehyung sat there and watched. He made no move, knowing from experience that any animal could be unpredictable.
After awhile, Taehyung noticed the cat move and made his way over to the silent boy. He didn't dare breath or move a muscle, watching as the animal got closer and closer until it was curled up into a ball in Tae's lap.
"Yessss," he whispered quietly as he pumped his fists into the air.
He didn't care that he had to go and do his schedules in half an hour. For now, he was Min-Ji's pillow and that's all he cared about.
JUNGKOOK
"ARMY, I've got babysitting duties," Jungkook admitted to his camera. "No it's not a baby. Noona is away for a night with a schedule and I promised I would look after a certain someone as obviously Jin-hyung is in the military."
He disappeared for a moment but came back with a grumpy looking cat, who had clearly been woken up seeing as it was three in the morning. "Have you all met Min-Ji? No? Well, Min-Ji meet ARMY. ARMY meet Min-Ji. This is Grace noona's cat, who she posted about last year."
Even though he had been clearly woken up, the bright light from the camera interested him and ARMY watched as the large cat leaned forward to sniff the camera then the light then the screen then Jungkook.
"He's pretty chill, he only meows when he wants food or he needs to go out. I took him on a walk around the compound and he just walks where he wants to," Jungkook grinned as the cat decided the best place was Jungkook's shoulders. "I'm his favourite, after noona. He likes Jin-hyung but not too much. Everyone else has met him and he's become a bit of a feature down at the studios."
Jungkook paused to watch the comments, one hand coming up to scratch the sleeping cat's chin. "I'm not sure why noona named him Min-Ji, I know it's not after Jin-hyung and Yoongi-hyung, though everyone thought that. It's because of his temperament or something but like I said, he's pretty chill. Though at night, he sometimes stares from the door for no reason. So maybe there is a ghost. But for now, he's my roommate and he'll be going back home tomorrow so for now, say goodnight ARMY."
