"Now, Jimin.
Jimin is not to be underestimated..
He might look harmless, but he is a master manipulator.
It seems like you both have similar abilities, so his might not work on you, well, not unless his overpower yours at the start. You still have a lot to learn.. so there's every possibility.
You wont ever see Jimin angry about anything. Things just seem to fly over his head.. Or he just has an incredibly short attention span.
The way he speaks, the way he carries himself.. It's alluring. You are naturally drawn to him. Like when a cat rolls on its back, you feel the urge to stroke its belly. Jimin has that effect on you.
..Just remember that although he seems pretty non-threatening, he is more than capable of evil.
That cat you saw last night.. That's him in the form of Bakeneko.
A mischievous little furball that can possess people and raise the dead..
He loves to dance as well, and if he asks you, you will do it against your will. It's one of his party tricks."
"That's.. fucked up." I exhale, and Rita just laughs at me.
"It's interesting.. See, Jimin was found as an injured cat roaming the streets. I think he was lost. A witch took him in, gave him what he needed to heal, and then he came back as a human. The witch was pretty bad though, which is where he gets his naughtiness from. He found this house, and has stayed here ever since."
"Raising the dead and possessing people.. Is naughtiness in your book?" I chuckled at her in disbelief, and she just sighed.
"That's nothing compared to what some of these guys are capable of."
"Well, I like cats.. And I like dancing.. So it's not all bad. I will just have to see how it goes." I nod to reassure myself, and Rita just taps my hand in encouragement.
It can't be too bad.. Can it?

Authors note:
Actual Bakeneko are house cats that reach a certain age (around 100 years) and grow long tails that turn into little demons. 🫠 Once Bakeneko reach a certain age, their tails grow more and split into two and become Nekomata. More evil and walk around on two legs, speaking human tongue.
Cat owners used to cut their tails off to avoid their cats turning into Bakeneko😭
