NAMJOON POV:
Sunday morning was such a precious time for me, to see every one of my family members all slouching about sipping coffee or juice while playing games together. It was an adorable sight to see the kitten sat between Jimin and Taehyung on the couch. A controller in her hand, her body tensed up in concentration as she played with them. She was looking like a little fairy, sat between the two boys.
Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok hyung and I were all still standing around in the kitchen with our hot beverages. I was trying to convince Jin Hyung to let me take Kitten to the shelter today to get her into their system, but he wasn't having it.
"Namjoon I already told you, it's too soon for her!" He whispered angrily under his breath. "she can't even stand on her own yet, you can wait a couple more days right?... we don't want her to get more hurt." He stressed and I sighed as his persistence.
"I know hyung, but we need to get her a collar at least. If that man-" I hated even referring to her old master. "-if that monster was to show up again, and he had documents of ownership, he could take her just like that."
"that's barbaric! He c-can't do that, right?!" Hoseok's face creased in disgust and fear, so I was quick to reassure him.
"Of course we would fight to get her back, I'd make a case at court to get her independence. But that might take forever, and I don't want her to even see that man again, let alone have to be taken away by him."
With a sigh, Jin finally listened to me.
"alright, we'll take her down soon to start the process... but not today, she's still too weak." He bit his lip, clear torment in his mind over letting the kitten leave the house.
"besides, we still don't know too much about her." Yoongi spoke for the first time since we started discussing this topic. "we don't even know what breed she is."
We all turned our heads towards the little girl, and before I could help it I was calling out to ask her.
"uh- kitten." Her ears flinched at the sound, but still turned around with a smile. "do you know what breed of cat you are?"
"Umm..." she looked puzzled for a second as she tried to wrack her brain. "Master talked about it when he tried to sell me... but, I'm afraid I can't remember, I-I'm sorry."
"no don't worry sweetie." Jin smiled brightly, calming her worries and she sweetly went back to her game.
"why don't we look it up?" Yoongi moved to grab his laptop as we all gathered around. "she mentioned that she was a pure-bred, right?"
"yes, I also had my suspicions that she may be Siberian... but I didn't want to confirm." Jin sighed as we started to skip through list upon list of breeds of domesticated cats... and it was in the rare house cats did we find what we were looking for...
"Siberian cats... they are easy-going and calm although very affectionate and enjoy cuddling... they have thick coats to withstand Siberian winters like a lion's mane. They are estimated to sell for around £1,000 to £2,000 in the states."
"how much is that in 'won'?" Hoseok asked right away.
"like one million six hundred to... 3 million." I sighed, rubbing a hand against my forehead.
"that's pretty expensive." Yoongi gulped.
"but we're forgetting, this price is for house cats... but kitten is a hybrid... who knows how much she is actually worth." Jin sighed, and we all looked over to her once again, worry ridden in our eyes.
"how much do you think he was selling her for Joon?" Hoseok asked me and I shook my head a little as I thought about it.
"it's hard to say... especially since he was keeping her as a virgin to sell her for more... the price could be astronomical." Once again we all looked over to the small kitten, pitying her situation.
"All the more reason for that monster to come find her again..." Yoongi whispered coldly and I could feel all of our hearts dry out at the very thought of him hunting her down.
"still- this is all just theory, right?" Hoseok tried to smile, wanting to raise our hopes a little, but we had to be realistic.
"well, we won't know until she shifts, and she's still too weak to do that." I patted his back.
"so we'll just keep her hidden here for now." Jin nodded, as if deciding it for himself. "just so that man can't find any information on her. Then, when she's fully recovered, we'll do the process all at once, so he won't be able to take her back, agreed?"
"agreed." Hoseok nodded right away.
"agreed." Yoongi and I said at the same time.
"Great." Jin sighed. "now that that's sorted, let's just have a good day, okay?"
"okay." It was a difficult situation, we all knew it, but one this was certain, we needed to keep this little girl safe.
...
The kitten was sitting next to me outside on the porch, we were snuggled together on the outside sofa, a small children's book between us. It was a book about the alphabet, meant to help little kids starting to read, but she was struggling. She was working slowly through the book, spelling out the words out-load for me, one letter at a time, it was very adorable.
It was hard to keep my heart from crumbling for her... especially after this morning. All that talk about her old master turning up and stealing her away had made me pretty paranoid. Which is probably why I was sitting so close to her right now, with our thighs pressed up together. Though even that wasn't close enough, as I had to move my arm around the back of her to hold her arm, softly pulling her closer to me.
Maybe I was being a little overbearing, with the way I was leaning over her shoulder, my lips a little too close to her ear. Enough so that my voice didn't even need to reach above a whisper for her to hear me perfectly. So that every time I praised her, or helped her with a word, her little ears would flick cutely at the air from my lips.
As she moved her finger across the page, her unsure voice sounding out the words, I couldn't help but smile at her. She was doing so well for me, trying her hardest to learn... she was the perfect student... and I ashamedly hoped that maybe she liked her teacher in the same way.
I admit, she was growing on me.
"hey cuties."
"what?" I snapped a little at someone's intrusion of our special alone time together, even though it was only Jin.
"wow, calm down Mr. Wolf." He laughed amusedly, spotting the little possessiveness in my tone over the kitten in my arms. "I'm not going to take her away... but lunch is ready." He smirked as he waked off, and it was only then did I realise how tight I was holding the kitten to me.
"S-sorry." I coughed In a blush towards the kitten as I let her go, she too with a thick shade of pink of her cheeks.
"it's okay."
"H-here, let me take you to the table." I fumbled as I moved to pick her up delicately into my arms. I noted how she felt a little heavier than when she first arrived, but not nearly heavy enough to satisfy me yet.
As well, after last night's bath, her smell had definitely improved, enough so that my head could be clear around her. It wasn't that she smelled horrible, actually is was quite the opposite. Females naturally produce pheromones that attract men to them... sexually. Which is a good reason to let Kitten go to another family with less 'predatory' hybrids that won't be of threat to her.
At least, that's what I told myself. My brain was being reasonable... but what was happening inside my heart right now... well it was saying differently. It told me never to let go of her... to never let her leave the safety of my arms... to never be in harm's way ever again, but just to hold her... forever.
"Joonie? you can put kitten in her seat now."
"I- Uh? Oh yeah." I fumbled as Jin pulled me back down to earth, noting that I had been standing next to her seat for the last minute or so. The others looked at me weirdly, but Hyung just smirked as I put her down. Maybe my head wasn't as clear as I thought it was...
...
KITTEN POV:
Today felt different, all the men seemed to be much more relaxed in my presence. Some even daring to touch me in kind ways, like how Namjoon had this morning during our lessons. As well, like now, with how Jin was snuggling up next to me on the porch seat outside. His hand softly caressing my bandages as we watched the others having fun on grass. All 6 members playing games together, the delightful sound of their giggles echoing through the silence between us. It looked like fun, and it made me feel guilty that Jin was forced to sit with me.
"Jin, it's really okay, you can play with them too, I'll be fine here on my own..." I tried to reassure him for the fifth time since we sat down.
They were all playing tag, Jin explained it was a popular game in the household. That it goes back to their instinctual need to hunt, apparently the thrill of the hunt felt amazing. Hence why every single one of them had crazy smiles while giggling like a pack of wild hyenas (Jin's words not mine).
He even assured me that one day I'd love it to, that I'd get to play it with them as well. Which made me feel even worse that I was keeping him from playing too.
"no way, I'm staying right here..." he smiled down at me. "it's just as fun sitting next to my kitten."
My kitten... My kitten.
He just called me His kitten.
My eyes fluttered at him as he turned back to watch the boys, my heart swelling up, and I prayed that he didn't notice the change in pace of its beating.
His kitten... that's all I wanted to be.
I admit, I had felt it for a few days now, and now I think there was no denying it... I could feel myself falling in love with them.
No... I was already in love with them... and that was scary.
I know that I fall in love too easily... and way too fast.
After all, I was in love with master too, only a week after first arriving to his house when I was little.
I've always been so desperate for love, for someone to hold me and look after me like I was special... for someone to want me... just like master wanted all his female friends... but wanting that for myself was silly.
However, now all I wanted for myself was them... for them to love me back... like how I love them. Afterall, since I've been here, for the first time in my life I did feel... special.
Though, I doubt I could even be considered attractive to them... let alone believing that one day they could maybe... love me too.
But then, Taehyung did kiss me on the temple... but I've seen them kiss each other like that before, so maybe it doesn't really mean all that much to him.
So, maybe that means being cuddly with each other is okay? And that, maybe just being near them is enough for me. I can live off their small caresses, and I can be satisfied with the way they hold me... like I'm special.
And maybe... maybe it was okay to touch them back?
...
When the weather got cold we all moved inside to the lounge. I was sat on the floor, currently playing with the puzzle on the table.
"are you sure you're comfy enough on the floor baby?" Jimin sat down next to me, a worried pout on his lips as he brushed back some hair out of my face. "I don't want you to be in pain."
"oh no, don't worry Jimin, I'm very comfortable." I replied with a smile, to which his tail darted forward to curl and intertwine with my own, making me gasp as well as shine a soft pink of my cheeks.
"you're really the cutest kitten." He breathed against my cheek at our close proximity, before turning to help me with the puzzle.
"you enjoying your puzzle cutie?" Hoseok leant forward from where he was sat behind the two of us on the couch. His legs spread open and stretched out, subtly locking me in between them.
"I am Hobi! Thank you!" I smiled back at him. "I find them so much fun!"
"pfft why do you like them so much?" Taehyung asked casually from where he was rolling around of the carpet, scratching his ears against the textured surface. "I always get bored when I do them."
"well that's because you have no patience!" Jimin sassed back.
"well, I guess..." I started softly, when they all turned silent for my answer. "I just like being able to complete something, I guess... It makes me feel smart, w-when I get a piece in the right place. I don't know."
I looked up to see them all bashfully looking my way, even Taehyung who was laying sideways across from me, he was looking up with... adoration?
"you ARE smart kitten." Jimin gushed straight away, leaning in to rub his nose against my cheek, making me flinch a little at the closeness he was displaying.
"how can you be so flipping adorable." Hobi giggled from behind me and as Jimin let me go, he leant forward to rub his chin on the top of my head.
I hoped they didn't notice the spike of my heart beat, as well as the little rumble of a purr that subtly slipped through into the quiet room. However, luckily for me, it was drowned out by the sounds of others making their way in and taking their seats.
"Look, Namjoon will agree!" Jimin cheered as said man took a seat on the couch to our left. "Kitten is really smart, isn't she Joon?!"
I was scared of his answer, and purposefully looked down at the floor, my ears cowering into my hair as I waited. Too scared that Namjoon would disagree, and I'd be a disappointment to him as well.
"oh definitely." my eyes clicked up to look at him, to find him looking straight back at me with a warm smile. "she's picking everything up really well, aren't you trouble?"
My heart soared with glee, a burning I had to gulp back as I fought not to mewl at his compliment of me. If fact I couldn't mutter a word as he looked at me... I could only look at him, trapped in his divine gaze.
"ah Joon, you made her shy." Yoongi tutted as he moved around to sit next to Hoseok, right behind Jimin. Jin walked behind, taking the free seat next to Namjoon before speaking.
"it's okay sweetie, you don't have to say anything back." He smiled as he leant into Namjoon's side, cuddling up to him. At the same time, Hoseok moved forward to rub my back and I quickly took the offer to escape back to the puzzle.
"she's so cute." Hoseok fawned me from behind, with a wide grin. "and so gentle... like a little flower."
I ducked my head again at the attention, but couldn't help but look up when I felt Jungkook's presence walking to sit next to Taehyung on the floor. As I did, I saw he was looking straight at me and I ducked again, only to hear a little chuff of amusement come from his way.
"you tell me when you need the loo, okay kitten?" Jin called for me again, a soft glint in his eye that told me he was watching over me.
"I will Jin, thank you."
"hey, whatever happened to Jin-ie?" He giggled in a little tease.
"w-what?" I stumbled.
"yesterday you called me 'Jin-ie'." He smiled wide as he remembered.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I won't do it again." I rushed to apologise, feeling as if I had been informal to him. "I-I must've heard someone call you that way and didn't think I'm sory-" But Jin stopped me before I could rant any more.
"shush shush kitten, I'm not mad. I actually liked you calling me Jin-ie." He giggled and I blinked in surprise. "how about you call me that from now on, huh?"
"U-uh sure, yes, okay, Jin, Jin-ie." They all giggled as I floundered over what to say. But I had nothing to worry about with the way they were looking at me right now, with warmth and peacefulness.
We carried on like this for the rest of the afternoon, softly chatting with the tv on in the background. I did my puzzle with Jimin's help, as well soon the two behind us were reaching over to help out every now and then. Every time they would lean into me, their chests brushing my back, their necks stretching over my shoulder. As well, every time I could feel my mouth go dry, and every time I dragged my eyes away from looking at their glowing skin.
Then, when dinner time finally came, I was carried to the dining table as always, and placed at the end.
"There you go kitten, let's fill your little tummy up with yummy food huh?" Hoseok giggled as he stroked down the back of my head. "then we can cuddle." My heart lurched at the idea, knowing I had only ever sat between or next to one of them before. As well as the few times Jin cuddled me in sleep... but that was our secret...
But to cuddle in front of them all... like it was normal... I was just too excited.
So, when dinner ended, I was buzzing to get to the couch. I reached up as Hoseok walked over to pick me up. Giggling with me in his arms before he was placing me down on the sofa.
"I gotta use the toilet kitten, but I'll be right back. " he crouched down in front of me as he explained. "Or I could take you too? Have you gone to the loo yet today?"
"It's okay Hobi, I don't need to go. I'll be here when you get back." I smiled and with a nod, he left me.
I watched as they all entered one by one, sitting themselves around the room and cuddling up to one another. I was waiting for Hoseok to sit in the space next to me, but was happily surprised when Yoongi decided to take a seat of my other side.
The action made me smile, it made me giddy to think that the panther wanted to be near me, that he wanted to cuddle with me.
"right, what are we watching tonight?" Hoseok clapped as he came back into the room to sit down next to me, on my other side.
I really don't know what came over me... but I felt comfortable, I felt protected and safe enough that I was leaning myself into Yoongi's side. This was fine wasn't it? Namjoon had held me like this this morning, and Jin too. Jimin and Hoseok let me lean like this before... it should be okay.
But I was wrong.
For as soon as my head placed itself on his shoulder, the man under me was hissing in disgust, his body physically lurching back to create distance.
My heart blared into terrified panic, white cold fear blinding my mind.
My only thought was to run, before my mind went blank, and then, I couldn't think at all.
...
TAEHYUNG'S POV:
I was snuggled into Namjoon, my head laying in his lap as he lovingly combed the hair between my ears. My eyes were growing heavy at the feeling, and I could hear just how content Namjoon was based on the little happy rumble coming from his chest.
"right, what are we watching tonight?" Hoseok woke me up a little as he entered the room with a clap, before happily flopping down next to his kitten.
I knew Jungkook would want to suggest a film first, so I kept silent as I watched the kitten across from me on the other sofa. Somehow it felt like she belonged here now... and I think she could feel it too. Based on how she tentatively dared to lower herself onto Hyung's shoulder.
I watched with a smile as she made her move, thinking how proud I was of her little grow in confidence.
However, what happened next scared us all.
It happened so fast, I could barely keep up with it.
But at her touch, Yoongi let out a dull, annoyed hiss. It wasn't a sound we hadn't heard before, no, in fact we heard it quite a lot from Yoongi Hyung... But kitten didn't know that.
In a fit of fear and adrenaline she fell off the sofa, her injured feet scampering at the floor till she was sprinting into the kitchen to get away. We all jolted in our seats, fear for her safety flushing out of our systems in all types of ways.
"KITTEN!!" Hoseok hyung tried to grab her, but she was too fast, too scared, too desperate to get herself away.
"KITTEN!! BABY!!" Jimin screamed and dashed after her.
"KITTEN, YOUR FEET!!! NO!" Jin screamed as he too fell off the sofa in a fit to get to her.
I too scrambled to stand up, still watching Yoongi hyung, now with a face filled with horror at the realisation of what he had done.
All seven of us ran into the kitchen, all desperate to calm the kitten down before she injured herself even more. However, she hadn't gotten far, the scene before me being too heart breaking to accept.
She had run to the kitchen, no doubt ripping apart her stitches and opening the wounds on her feet, until the pain was too unbearable to stand anymore. She was on the floor, her eyes frantic and petrified as she desperately tried to crawl herself away from us.
"S-Sweetie!! Shh Sweetie~ it's okay." Jin tried to get close to her, but the wails she was letting out were like torture to hear.
She crawled herself around the kitchen island, her breathing desperate and irregular, as if she couldn't breathe. She used her feet to push her body, each time a cry of pain would cut through the room, it was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
"B-Baby please s-stop moving!" Jimin pleaded as he knelt down on the floor with Jin, putting their hands up and trying to get close. "it's okay, you're okay."
"Jin she's having a panic attack." Namjoon's eyes were black with worry as he too watched from above. Unable to move, unable to help in fear of scaring her further.
"I know, you need to keep the others back!" Jin turned back to curse our way, before turning back to the kitten with a sweet voice. "shh shh, it's okay kitten, just breathe with me."
"I-I'm sorry." Yoongi's voice came from behind me, it was devastatingly horrified and almost dead. And when I looked back at him his face was white, drained of colour, as if he was sick. "I d-didn't mean-" but after that he couldn't speak, especially when kitten's body started to spasm.
"no, no, no!" Jin cried for her.
"what's happening??!!!" Hoseok screamed as tears rolled down his face.
"she's trying to shift." Jin breathed in panic, his worst nightmares coming true. He knew that if she shifted into a kitten, her wounds would re-open... all of them. "please kitten, please don't shift!!" he tried to beg with her as he inched even closer, but all she did was let out louder, higher pitched screams.
Jungkook was shaking next to me as his big doe eyes watched the traumatic scene. I took his hand into mine, but still he couldn't look away, I didn't need to smell the room to know all our heart were breaking. Our souls were shattering, the putrid smell of terror rippling from every single one of us.
It was like a nightmare, as she held her torso up with her arms and she started to jolt her body, as if she were about to be sick. I watched in horror as her instincts took over her, her body shrinking in on itself in attempt to hide away. The clothes that were on her seemed to grow as her body started to shrink, her soft skin growing fur. Her body pulsed as it grew and shrunk again in a struggle, but eventually it was too late.
Before us, now laid a pile of old clothes, with one shaking kitten peering out of the neckline. She was fluffy and mixture of light and dark brown fur with sprinkles of colour, she was beautiful... but still petrified. She tried to scamper away but Hoseok moved to block her with his hands, and then she was frozen solid.
"it's okay little kitten, it's okay." He whispered sweetly, but it wasn't enough to calm her tiny jittery body. and not a second later did a little puddle start to form under the kitten's feet.
"H-hyung, she's wet herself." I breathed out, my heart utterly devastated as I watched the kitten start to shiver. Her eyes were glazed over, open wide and unblinking, there was no doubt that she was completely shut off right now... our kitten wasn't there... she had hidden herself away.
"it's okay, it's okay. W-we need to get her shifted back, Joon could you prepare my tools, I'll need to re-stitch her wounds." Jin sounded devastated, but it became even worse when he spotted the dark red of the kitten's blood seeping into her fur. "NAMJOON NOW!" He screamed, but the kitten couldn't react, she was becoming limp.
Jin hyung scooped her up to quickly, coddling her in his arms as he rushed to the front of the house where his medical room lived. Namjoon was right ahead of him, throwing open the door and rushing to get everything ready.
"we'll need to trigger her shifting response with an injection." Jin rushed as he placed the kitten onto the gurney, her face moving slowly in shock.
We all rushed behind to keep up with them, all of us terrified of being unable to help her. Jin looked up at us from where we all stood beyond the door, his shirt now stained with a small patch of her blood.
"she'll be alright." He didn't smile, he was in too much of a panic as he slammed the door shut on us. Now unable to help, we all could do nothing but sit down in the hallway and wait, While Yoongi hyung crouched down to the floor to cry.
...
JIN'S POV:
It was hell to be here, to watch my kitten turn so lifeless as I pushed the medicine into her tiny body. It took a minute or so, but eventually her shifting response was triggered and she was able to shift back, even though she was unconscious. It was a horrible thing to have to do, but this was about her health.
I had to close the door on the others, knowing the kitten would be naked when she shifted back and wanting to keep her privacy. Namjoon and I had already been in this situation once before, but to be here again after everything... after growing close to her...
I could tell I was a shell of myself.
Namjoon was just the same, his eyes were fixed on her face, his ears locked directly towards her heart beat that beeped out loud in the small room. He didn't move the whole time I re-patched her wounds, sowing them up again from where they had ripped apart.
When I came to her feet, I had to cry.
She had been doing so well, I just wanted her better, but I hadn't kept her safe enough. I wept as I finished up and sat back to watch her face, just like Namjoon was.
We sat there in silence for half an hour as we just let her rest, our bodies just as exhausted as hers from the emotions that had just overtaken us.
She woke up a little bit later, her bandaged hands gripping to the soft blanket currently covering her body.
She tried to sit up, but I stopped her.
"shh baby, just rest, just rest for me, okay?" I all but begged her, pushing her shoulder back to lay down.
She didn't fight back, she did as she was told, tearing her gaze away from my eyes to instead stare at the ceiling. She didn't close her eyes again for another 10 minutes as we cleaned the room around her. Our heads pounding from the aftermath of seeing her in so much distress.
When the clock reached 11pm I knew it was time for bed, so with a heavy heart I stood up from my seat once more and moved towards the kitten.
"come on kitten, let's get you to bed." My voice was hoarse, and she followed my command without a word as she sat up, her eyes trained down to her feet. "they'll get better again sweetie, don't worry." But still she didn't say a word, not even as I turned her to face me, her legs dangling of the side of the gurney.
I wanted her to say something, anything, just so I'd know how's she's feeling. But she continued to look at the floor, never once looking at me, and it was tearing me apart.
"I'm so sorry baby." I burst as I moved forward to cup her cheeks, my forehead pressing softly against hers as another tear escaped my eye. "I know Yoongi didn't mean it! I should have told you sooner how he is, he just likes to act annoyed when really he loves us." I tried to explain in a rush. "I'm so sorry you got scared, my baby, I'm so sorry." I whispered into her hairline, not caring if I was going too far with Namjoon still in the room. I just cared about making everything better, that's all I cared about right now.
But when she still continued to stay silent my heart nearly crumbled into dust, and it was easy to tell from my panicked body language.
"oh kitten, please talk to me." I begged. "please, please, tell me you're okay." I was rubbing my fingers into her hair, rubbing my face on her forehead, doing everything I could think off to comfort her and show her my regret, but she wouldn't talk. "please, please." My tears dripped onto her forehead as I pleaded with her. "we're going to be okay."
"...I'm sorry Jin...." My heart jolted with happiness the second her sweet voice fluttered to my ears, even though it was weak and barely there, it still sounded like a choir of angels to me.
"oh baby, no no no, don't say sorry, you did nothing wrong!" I rushed to reassure her, pulling back to watch her expressionless face.
"yes I did..." She insisted with no emotion in her voice. "I should have asked permission first."
"No! no! baby! You never have to ask for permission here! Okay? Please kitten, it's okay." By this point, Namjoon had also stood up to walk over to us and reach up a hand to comb down the back of kitten's dishevelled hair.
"It really isn't your fault kitten." He breathed onto her, but she only shook her head, her eyes scrunched up in pain as she finally gave in and wept out.
"I should have never have thought of touching one of you, I'm s-sorry, I'm so disappointed in myself." She broke down mid-sentence, quiet cries shook her whole body as she covered her face with her hands. Seeing her cry for the first time was pure agony, and I knew right then and there that It was the hardest thing I'd ever have to face in my life.
"No, NO! baby kitten! Please don't say that! You've done nothing wrong baby! Please believe us!" I pleaded to her, pulling her close to hold in my arms as she let out all of her tears into my chest. "Yoongi should have never hissed at you baby! we want you to hold us baby! we promise."
"he's right." Namjoon moved closer to rub circles into her back. "he should have known better, it won't happen again kitten, I swear it." Even though it was meant to be reassuring, I could feel the tension behind Namjoon's voice. Yoongi was about to have a stiff word from both of us, and we wouldn't be holding back.
But first, we needed to look after our little one.
It took some time, but with a bit of cooing, and a lot of reassuring words, we managed to finally stop her from crying. She laid a little limp in my arms as she sniffled her emotions back, and she didn't protest one bit when I picked her up to head to bed.
I was holding her to my chest when we opened the door to the hallway again, and right away we were greeted by 5 pairs of frightened eyes.
"i-is she okay?!" Jimin asked right away, seeing her re-patched wounds and her body only being covered by a soft blue blanket.
"she'll be fine." I smiled for the first time tonight when I saw how they worried. "she just needs rest." I moved past, starting to ascend the stairs.
"H-hyung, I'm so sorry." Yoongi's voice was torn apart and gutted, no doubt from crying over his actions. Though still, I felt anger inside of me, so without looking I gave him a cold reply.
"we'll talk about this after I've put her to bed." I didn't have to be a hybrid to hear the way the whole household gulped.
It was only when we were in her bedroom, Jimin and Hoseok by my side to tuck her in, with Namjoon watching, was she speaking again.
"it's not his fault Jin."
"whatever happened to 'jin-ie'?" I smiled trying to change the subject.
"please don't be mad at him, it's my fault-"
"No, no kitten, it isn't." I became serious, only till I saw her shocked face. "I'm sorry sweetie, I'm just- I care about you a lot okay? He shouldn't have done that. Trust me kitten... trust me and close those pretty eyes." She was reluctant at first, blinking back and forth between Jimin and Hoseok. But when they started cooing at her as well, lulling her to sleep, it wasn't long before she was out.
And when she was finally sound asleep... I was seeing white.
...
YOONGI POV:
I had never been so disgusted with myself before... so utterly disgusted with the way I had acted... and what I had done to someone so fragile.
I should have though, I should have used my fucking brain!
But when she first laid her head on me, I felt it right in my heart, a little flutter and my body didn't know how to react. So, it did what it normally does when one of the babies tries to cuddle me.
I hissed... like a fucking moron I scared the most precious- the most loveliest girl I've known.
Normally, the others would just chuckle and continue hugging me... because they knew I really did love they, I just find it hard to express it physically.
But of course kitten wouldn't be the same. I was a fool act in such an idiotic way without thinking, and I knew I'd be paying the price for a long time. Not just from the others, but from myself too.
I was waiting in the kitchen, staring at the spot where the kitten had wet herself in fear... in fear of me, in fear that I might hurt her... the thought made me sick to my stomach.
Hoseok had quickly cleaned it up when she was with Jin, but I still just looked on, unable to help. I imagined how terrified she must have been, and how terribly embarrassed she must feel from doing it. But I wasn't embarrassed for her, all I could feel was sorrow and pure hatred for myself.
I imagined her never talking to me again, that she would run off every time she saw me... and maybe that's what I deserved, after all, I have now caused her so much pain... and that's what hurts the most, to know that I'm the one that's hurt her.
"where is he?..." I could hear Jin's ice cold tone on the stairs, and I lowered my head knowing what was about to happen. I heard his feet marching over and I didn't stop him from shoving me back against the counter.
"Jin hyung-" Jungkook tried to call in a small, shocked voice, but Jin was already yelling over him.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?!" he roared, no doubt his polar bear canines and claws shifting out naturally.
"I know." I tried to breathe.
"How could you FUCKING HISS AT HER!?!?" he screamed out his lungs. "She's just a little baby Yoongi!!"
"I know!" desperate tears started to form in my eyes once again as I tried to explain. "I-I'm sorry!! I did it on instinct, I would have n-never!! I-I wouldn't have ever- I'm so sorry!!" I gasped for breath as misery over took me, and Jimin rushed to hug my side, not being able to stand seeing me like this.
"Jin hyung, you know he didn't do it on purpose." Namjoon tried to breathe through his anger, trying to find reason.
"He still caused all of this though!!" Jin gritted through his teeth.
"it was a mistake hyung." Namjoon moved forward to pull back his mate. "and he won't ever do it again." The threat in Namjoon's voice was obvious, and I was quick to nod my head in agreement.
"you know she's blaming herself..." At that I finally looked up at Jin, seeing his eyes brimming with water. My heart couldn't bare it... why was she blaming herself? How?
"b-but- she didn't-"
"she said she should have never touched you without your permission." The sentence made me sick to my stomach, knowing it was what she was taught by her old master. "I swear, you better make this right... you need to show that little girl that you aren't a threat." Jin growled low and I held back a shiver. "and you will never ever treat her like that again, do you understand!?"
"Hyung, please! you know I'd never hurt her!" I burst out desperately as I thought about ever doing this again. "I hate myself for what happened tonight! I can't believe I did it, I didn't think! And I'm such an idiot! I wish I could take it back... But I promise that I'll make it right. I can't stand the thought of her being scared of me, I just- I just hate it." I wept pitifully and Jimin held me tighter.
"you can fix this hyung." Jimin whispered from beneath me. "she told Jin Hyung not to yell at you... I don't think she hates you yet."
At that my heart soared, how could she not hate me? How could she not want me never to be in her presence again? And once again I started to cry at the thought.
"and don't let this destroy you Yoongi." Hoseok walked over to place a hand on my shoulder, understanding in his eyes. "I hate you right now, but don't distance yourself from her, you'll only make it worse."
"I know..." I looked down again, thinking to myself what in the hell I could say to her that would convince her to forgive me.
One by one they all left me, some more angry than others, but the youngest chose to stay a little, just to hold me. I was lucky to have them, and I knew that I had to make this all better, if things were going to be alright again.
...
JIN'S POV:
Monday morning had arrived, and as I did every morning I went straight to my little kitten's room to greet her. After what happened last night I felt weird about going to work, but I knew she'd be safe here. She might just need to spend the day In bed to let her injuries start to heal again.
"Good morning kitten." I whispered sweetly as I tiptoed in to sit on the edge of her bed.
She didn't reply at first and I giggled a little at how tired she was. Though, I was more anxious that I wouldn't get a morning hug before I went to work.
"come on kitten, open those pretty eyes, I want to see you." But still she didn't make a sound.
I instantly got worried, pulling her covers back from her cheeks I could tell straight away just by her smell that something was wrong. I pulled them back further and she shivered in response, cracking open an eye to spot me. I raised my hand to push back the hair off her forehead, but I started to freak out once I felt how hot she was.
"jin-" Her voice was hoarse and weak. "I don't feel well."
Now I was really fucking scared, feeling her head under my palm she felt like fire, and my first thought was that she had an infection. I checked under her neck and just as I feared, her glands were swollen.
"O-okay darling, I-I'm just going to go get the thermometer, okay? Be right back love." I swear I had never run so fast in my life, crashing down the stairs I definitely woke a few people up in my panic. "here we go baby, let's just stick this under your tongue okay?" I spoke sweetly, more to calm myself down than her.
"Jin? Is everything alright?" Namjoon's voice peeked in through the hallway as he entered Kitten's room.
"I-I think kitten has a fever." I breathed out in worry as I moved to start checking her wounds.
Namjoon frowned and reached down to her forehead as well, his face instantly becoming more grim as he registered her burning temperature.
I was looking at her feet by now, delicately unwrapping the bandages there until I could see skin. Right away I noted the red streaks around the wound, shooting up her leg. However, I barely needed to take off the gauze to smell the foul door of an infected wound.
"It's an infection." Namjoon spoke for me, smelling it even from where he stood at her head. "she needs to go to the hospital!" he demanded right away, a low seriousness in his voice as he went into action mode to grab her.
"No, no, I can do it here!" I insisted, my heart beating like mad. "all I need is new dressings and-"
"Jin Hyung!!" Namjoon suddenly screamed at me making me flinch and the little kitten to whimper. "this is serious, she Needs to go to the hospital!" his eyes were turning deadly black and I could tell that this was not a discussion we were about to have.
It was hard for me to give in though, I wanted her to stay here, as selfish as that sounded. But the thought of her leaving the safety and warmth this house provided, well, it felt like pushing myself off a bridge. But If that's what it took for her to be safe and healthy... then I'd do it.
"okay." I finally breathed out in defeat, starting to patch her back up for the ride to the hospital.
"what's going on!?" Jimin barged through the door, just barely dressed, most probably in turmoil after hearing Namjoon's yelling.
"kitten's got an infection, we're taking her to the hospital." Namjoon explained as he moved to grab Kitten something warm to wear. "we'll dress her in the car." He turned to me before reaching down to pick up the little girl. But as he did, she began to speak.
"Namjoon... I think I'm going to be sick."
"Jimin! In the bathroom! The trash can!" Namjoon yelled to Jimin and the leopard was sprinting right away.
By now, Taehyung and Hoseok had entered the room, both with petrified eyes, but when they saw Jimin rushing over with a bucket to place before the kitten, it clicked in their heads.
"It's okay baby, I'm here." Jimin whispered as he rubbed her back, her posture hunched over the edge of the bed as she fought the urge to spill her guts.
"we'll take it with us, come on we need to get her in the car." I rushed as I stood up and Namjoon finally lifted her into his arms. The extra clothes draped over her as she pushed her forehead against Namjoon's neck, wanting that cool reassurance.
I carried the bucket in my hand as I all but ran downstairs, grabbing my shoes and keys before I was out the front door and driving the car just that bit closer. Namjoon was walking out barefoot with Hoseok carrying his shoes for him. He sat in the back with her and Hoseok gave over his shoes before Namjoon was sputtering a quick goodbye.
"Don't wait up for us, I'm going to call in sick today, so all of you take care of yourselves okay?" and just like that, we were driving off.
...
JUNGKOOK POV:
I didn't sleep much last night, not after watching her like that... watching her struggle and not being able to help. I think I realised then that she really must be scared of me... and honestly, it hurt much more than I thought it would.
She was so helpless, it made me distraught with worry and I had to fight the urge to sneak into her room and just touch her in some way. Just to hold her hand, just so I would know she was okay, even if she was scared of me, I just wanted her to be safe.
But as I descended the stairs this morning, I wasn't greeted with the face I wanted to see more than anything. No, she was no-where to be seen.
"where is..." I tried to sound non-cholent as I entered the kitchen, seeing everyone silently sat around the dining table. I didn't want them to tease me about caring about her or anything...
"she's at the hospital." Hoseok answered, and my whole world froze.
"what?" I couldn't describe the feeling that went through me, it was guttural and shot straight through my throat, ripping it apart.
"Jin and Namjoon hyung took her an hour ago..." Taehyung explained with a soft voice. "she has an infection."
"and a fever." Jimin added, his attitude a lot more sour than anyone else's as he stood turned away from us, looking out onto the back garden.
"is she going to be okay?" I gulped, still frozen in place.
"we hope so kookie." Hoseok smiled up at me, though I could see the way he was squeezing the cup of coffee in his hands to calm himself down. "... I've got to go to work." He cleared his throat, standing up as if he had only just remembered. "and so do you yoongi..."
Yoongi Hyung was sat at the table too, sitting in kitten's seat, his eyes glossed over as if he wasn't even there. Though he was staring at the table, right at the place kitten's dinner would go, but he wasn't moving, barely blinking.
"she'll be alright." Hoseok moved to touch his shoulder, but still nothing. "she'll be home later, we just have to be patient... time will go quicker if we do our day as planned... Jimin, that means you as well."
"I'm not going to fucking work until she's back." Was all Jimin growled out, still staring out the window, his tail sticking straight towards the floor, expressing his misery. Taehyung and I both ducked our ears at the sound, neither of us liking when Jimin got like this.
Hoseok though wore a small smile as he moved to hold Jimin's shoulder from behind, before whispering.
"she's going to be okay, Jin and Namjoon are not going to let anything bad happen to her, you know that." He smiled again as he saw a silent tear fall from Jimin's eye before pulling back. "I've got to go... but just, look after yourselves today? Alright my loves?"
"yes Hyung." Taehyung and I called, both rushing to get kisses from him before he left.
...
Today had been terrible, and no-one could do anything. Jimin did eventually leave the house, but whether it was to go to work or not, I don't know. After a while, Yoongi went back upstairs, probably to work, but he still hadn't said a word.
Taehyung and I stayed together, even though we had no classes today, we filled our day with university work. It's probably the most productive we've ever been because we weren't distracting each other all day and goofing off.
It felt like we were filling the silence with endless typing of essays and scribbling of pencils. Too afraid that if we spoke about how we were feeling, we'd actually start believing that she may never come home.
That's why, the second the front door was opening at 6pm, every single member of the household was rushing in search of her.
My heart drained of all life as I watched Namjoon pushing the little kitten in through the front door in a wheelchair. Her face was white and flopped to the side with her eyes closed, her hair was knotted and sticking up, but her ears were curved in a weird way, as if she wasn't even alive at all.
"Is s-she okay Hyung?!" Jimin tremored as he rushed forward to touch her hand.
"she should be fine Jimin-ie." Jin answered from where he was holding the door, his face looking worn down and fatigued. In his hands a large brown bag, filled to the brim with supplies and in the other an IV hooked up to her arm. "she's on antibiotics, but she needs to rest."
"Hyung, let me help you get her up the stairs." I offered right away, seeing that they were about to attempt to carry the wheelchair to her room.
"thanks Kook." Namjoon smiled, but he too looked drained of anything but exhaustion. He held the handles and I held between her feet as we carried her up the stairs. I noted how her feet were bandaged again, this time double the thickness.
When she was placed down in bed by Namjoon she still didn't move a muscle, even as we all watched Jin hyung tuck her in with shaky hands.
"I think we need to have a family meeting." He sighed as he stroked her head a couple times.
"we do, come on guys, let's let her rest." Namjoon smiled sadly, eventually dragging us all away from the small girl and back downstairs to sit around the dining table.
"so..." Jin took a deep breath as he rubbed his face with his hands. "She's developed an infection in her left foot. The doctor has prescribed her antibiotics for the next week or two, she's on the IV now, but we'll change her to pills in a couple days when she's a bit stronger. She also got a tetanus shot, just in case."
"But she'll need to stay in bed for a while, while her body fights this." Namjoon continued, seeing just how overwhelmed Jin was getting. "which means a lot of soups from now on."
"will do." Hoseok nodded, already making notes on it. "we'll get her better."
"I'm afraid, it gets worse." Jin leant forward on the table. "while we were at the hospital, we had time to get kitten checked out... turns out she is a Serbian cat, but we also found out some bad news... it's been determined that Kitten has something called 'urine retention'... which means she has difficulty urinating, especially during the day."
"We saw a urology specialist who performed a vaginal examination." Namjoon explained and everyone around the table gulped. There was also a low growl from somewhere in the room, but none of us lingered on it, we all understood. "He found damage in her bladder and bloating in her lower stomach, as well as evidence of a UTI that she is also on antibiotics to get rid of..."
"How did this happen?" Jimin whimpered, his brows furrowed hard in concern.
"It's most likely from her previous master forcing her to hold it in for so many years." Namjoon let out a hard sigh. "apparently, to retain urine in for too long can be very painful and damaging for the bladder. which most likely means kitten may have been in pain for the most part of the day since she's been here."
"w-why? Why would she put herself through that?" Taehyung tried to ask, eyes big and scared.
"she's not doing it on purpose." Jin explained. "it's because it's what her master trained her to do.... That's how he used to punish her..." he said with disgust. "and now, she doesn't even know it's hurting her, it's just normal for her to feel this way."
"So, it's a mental thing." Hoseok inferred, his tone deadly.
"we think so." Namjoon nodded. "which is why I organised kitten to start seeing a counsellor, I think it'll be good for her to see a trained professional to help her get through this. She's obviously been messed up by this psychopath's fucking torture." He growled low.
"but for now, we need to help kitten out in any way we can." Jin started to explain. "because if she continues like this, it's likely she will develop kidney disease or worse infections in the bladder. She may also we experiencing loss of bladder control, which is what happened last night, when she got scared." We all tensed up at the reminder. "We need to help break her out of this routine by training her to use the bathroom at least three times a day. The doctor has given us a list of ways we can encourage the flow, but if that isn't enough to trigger it, they've also given us some pills that will relax her bladder."
"but if we decided to use them, Kitten's bladder will be unpredictable, so the doctor advised the use of 'pull ups' until she's able to get out of bed again, which will hopefully be in a couple days."
"w-what are 'pull ups'?" I asked cluelessly.
"t-they're like diapers that older kids wear when they're still wetting the bed at night." Hoseok answered with a small smile and I had to blink at the new information... kitten really wasn't well.
"she's wearing one right now, that I'll change in the morning." Jin nodded. "and you guys don't have to worry about that part, I'm happy to do-" but Hoseok interrupted him.
"Hyung." He looked him in the eye with a smile. "we want to help, we care about her too."
"okay, I just- I j-just don't want her to feel ashamed of it, you know." His voice cracked as he held a hand over his face to hide his emotions. "She can't help it and I just-, I-I don't want her to be scared anymore, I just want her to be happy."
I couldn't hold back anymore and stood up to reach my hyung, I quickly wrapped myself around him and let him cry into me as I spoke softly.
"don't worry Hyung, I promise, we'll make her better.... she's our baby now." I could feel my chest flutter as I said the words, and for the first time since the kitten arrived, I actually wanted her to stay, for good.
...
KITTEN POV:
I can't remember much of anything after I blacked out last night, all I can remember is feeling really bad. Like the sort of bad where you can't move, and you can't think, all you can feel is hot pain.
Every time I opened my eyes I was somewhere else, one second I'm blinking up at Jin and the next there's a complete stranger that's replaced him. Though, before I got a chance to cry out for him, I'm already falling asleep again.
All I can feel now is hot, my own sweat dripping off me, yet at the same time I'm shivering, my legs and arms frozen. Something hurts on my left foot, but I can't move to see what it is, but it feels like it's been stung by a thousand wasps.
There's movement next to me, and then a face, a little blurry but I can see his tail... white and black.
"Jimin..." my voice was barely there.
"shh baby, you don't have to move." He stroked my head softly, his cold hands feeling like heaven. "Gosh you're burning." He stressed out, a tone of misery underlying in his voice.
I couldn't say a thing, but instead focus on his angelic hands, So much so that when they were moving away, I was whining out for them to come back.
"shh baby, it's okay, don't you want your lunch?" I could feel my eyes going again till something salty was being dripped into my mouth and they fluttered open again. I groaned as Jimin used his free hand to lift up my neck as his other spoon fed me delicious broth. "I need to take you to the loo baby." He bit down on his lip when he was done.
"no.. no." was all I could breath out, my throat feeling as if it was clogged up.
"it's okay baby, you only need to try..." he carried me through the cold, placing me down on the icy toilet seat. I nearly cried, but I didn't know why, I didn't even know what I wanted. "shh, shh baby, don't cry! here baby, Jin left a list of remedies... I can tap your stomach?" he reached up carefully to start tapping his palm against me, but nothing. "or I can... get you a drink? Or put your hand in warm water or... massage your inner thigh?" Jimin seemed to be shocked by the last one, but without a drink or a sink near (without stretching) then Jimin really didn't have a choice. "come on baby, you can do it."
Strangely, his hand felt warm on my thigh, and strangely it didn't feel weird for him to touch me. It actually felt... so reassuring, like a hug, or like a stroke. Perhaps it might have looked strange, especially when I could feel myself start to purr, but I was too weak to hold it back.
Jimin tried not to smile at the sound and instead stuck to his technique... it took 10 minutes, but eventually we heard it, a little trickle that only lasted 5 seconds... but it was something... and Jimin was so proud.
"You did it baby! Oh gosh, I'm so proud of you! You tried so hard for me." He was gushing as he reached to hold me, I smiled as I closed my eyes and held him back.
However, when I opened my eyes again, I was in bed... and instead of Jimin, Jin was watching over me.
"J-jin?"
"hey sweetie." He whispered as he took my hand and leant forward, his eyes red and tired.
"jin- Jin I don't." I started to breathe fast, I knew I was about to be sick.
"here baby, here." He reached quickly to grab a nearby bin that had been placed near me for this exact reason. I couldn't hold it, but he rubbed my back all the same as I let everything out. "it's okay love, it'll pass, you'll feel better soon, get it all out."
"what's w-wrong with me Jin-ie?" I started to cry once I was laying back down.
"oh my baby, you just have a little infection, but your on antibiotics and I've already changed your bandages to clean ones. I swear, you'll be better in no time. His voice became thinner and thinner as my eyes grew heavy. "but you have to stay awake for dinner cutie, come on, open your mouth for me."
...
The next time I opened my eyes it was morning, I hardly even remember eating dinner last night. I knew that Jin was there, but I was barely even conscious as he fed me. My head was too foggy, too painful.
My whole body felt damp, like I was lying in a pool of my own sweat and it was like torture to lie in. However, the next time I opened my eyes, that wet feeling was gone... I felt dry... and when I expected Jin to be by my side for breakfast, it was actually Yoongi with my lunch.
He looked terrified to be there... but I couldn't be more relieved to see him... he didn't hate me... he didn't hate me.
...
YOONGI POV:
For the last two days I've been hiding myself away, total guilt for what had happened slowly eating away at me... So much so, that I could barely face the others.
I stayed in my room until dinner and then barely said a word, I only listened in to them talk about Kitten's health. It was the only thing they could talk about, but it was also the only thing I wanted to her.
I doubted that they would trust me to look after her today, but after Jin had left her room this morning, reporting that she was 'changed' and her antibiotics were refilled, he was making a b-line for me.
"look after her today, make her lunch, and help her to the loo afterwards, the list of remedies is on her bedside... if she can't do it, that's fine... just keep an eye on her." He demanded. "if something goes wrong, call me. If her temperature goes up, you call me. If she falls off the bed, you call me." His eyes started to dilate as he stressed out his worries. "If you can't reach me, call Namjoon... and above all you make sure she stays calm, okay?"
I know what he was worried about, he was scared kitten would see my face an instantly be frightened of me again. And, Honestly, I was terrified of that too... that she would take one look at me and start to cry in fear... that was my nightmare.
I understood his worry, so with a small nod I answered.
"Yes Hyung, I'll look after her, I promise."
...
I was petrified, my heart beating like mad at just the idea of walking into her room. In my hands was a bowl of hot stew, and it was currently burning my skin off, but I couldn't care. All I could think about was what she thought of me.
"I can't do this..." I whispered to myself as I fought against my own mind. "yes you can... I have to... ... but, maybe I should-... NO! fucking-... ARGH... Just go in you stupid cat!!"
I cracked open the smallest gap in her door and right away I could smell the illness on her. It made my head dizzy with grief and as I took steps closer it only got worse. It grew in thickness and weight, but It was only when I actually saw her face did my ears start to buzz in horror, my heart shrivelling up.
Her face was white and almost carved inwards, as if her own body was eating away at her, it was a sight I never wanted to see ever again.
I had just placed her lunch on her bedside table when she started to toss and turn. Discomfort morphed on her face, and all I could think as I watched was... I did this.
I took a seat next to her, too afraid to call out for her consciousness... but I didn't have to when her eyes opened for me, as if sensing my presence.
I tensed up all over as I waited for her to take me in, realise it was me and then scream...
But she didn't...
"Yoongi?..." she sounded relieved? Her sweet, delicate voice, no louder than a mouse's heartbeat fluttering over to me. I could barely believe it, so I just sucked in a breath and stayed solid. "Yoongi..." but she repeated, calling my name a second time, this time with more need, as her arm moved like a ton of bricks to reach out for me.
My heart came crashing down at the sight of her reaching for me, and Like waves on the beach I came crashing in towards her.
"Yes k-kitten I'm here." I breathed out as I took her hand into mine, overwhelming relief engulfing my system at the thought that she wasn't scared of me... no she wanted me.
"you don't hate me..." she whispered under her breath as her eyes started to close.
"oh no, no! kitten! I could never hate you." I rushed in a whisper as I stroked her knuckled under my fingers. Her eyes seemed to waver and I had to call her again before they completely shut on me. "no, no sweetie, I have your lunch."
As instructed, I fed her all that I could with her being half-conscious under my hand. Her blue lips barely moving as the warm broth slipped past her throat. Then when we were done, I was gulping down my nerves to pick her up and carry her to the bathroom.
I was so nervous... so freaked out I would accidentally see too much of her. And all the time I was pulling down her sweatpants I was thinking: "Jin Hyung should be doing this, Jin Hyung should be doing this." Not because I didn't want to be touch her... but because I didn't believe she wanted me to do it...
A breath hitched in my throat as I spotted the font of a child's 'pull up' around her thighs as I pushed them down. It was a weird feeling to have, half pitiful and half weirdly comforting, and it just solidified in my mind further that she was in fact our baby.
I stared at the list of 'remedies' the others had left me, glossing over a couple that defiantly seemed too intimate for me to perform. I decided instead to grab a bowl of warm water and place her hand into it, in hopes it would relax her.
We sat there for 15 minutes and nothing happened... I tried to talk to her, but everything I said felt insincere, and that I knew deep down inside she was too nervous around me. I sighed and gave up in defeat as I poured away the cold water and returned Kitten to her bed.
"it's okay, Jin will be able to help you when he comes back home..." I told not just her, by myself.
Once she was back, her eyes drooped and I could feel her consciousness slip away the moment pretty little snores started to leave her mouth. I smiled softly at them, not being able to help myself I lifted a hand to stroke her arm. I noted how damp it felt from her sweat... damp and cold. I didn't like that one bit and had to pullup the duvet a little more just to satisfy myself.
I watched her for an hour... and then another.
As her chest rose and fell I thought about what she meant to me... It had only been just over a week now, so she can't mean that much to me, can she?
But as I watched her soft face there was no denying it... I never wanted her to leave me.
Even if she was never comfortable around me again, that'd be fine... I'd just watch over her from afar. If that's what she wanted, I'd do anything she wished, or be anything she wanted.
"hm." I chuffed to myself as I realised what I can just thought to myself. "Namjoon was right kitten... you really are trouble." I giggled as I dared to touch her forehead, combing back her hair and just admiring her. The warm smile on my face growing a little painful after I found that I couldn't move away.
