There, there, kitty... || Minchan/Banginho Short Story

Chapter 2

When Chan woke up Minho was still asleep. He jumped on the table and rubbed his nose to Minho's hand. The boy stirred a bit and his eyes fluttered open.

"Good morning" he flashed a half awake smile to the kitty and patted his head.

A small meow was his answer.

"You hungry?" Minho asked earning another meow. "Then let's get some breakfast" he laughed.

As he stood up, he noticed the blanket on his shoulders. He starred at it for a while confused. Not finding the memory when he put it over himself. But eventually he shrugged, folded the blanket and headed to the kitchen with the kitty following behind.

As he made a light breakfast for himself and poured some milk for the kitty he noticed that one of his low-calorie croissant is missing.

"I am hallucinating..." He said to himself. Yeah, he must hallucinating. Or his apartment apparently came to life... He shook his head.

When they finished their food Minho put the dishes in the sink. He put the cat on the counter while he was washing the dishes.

"We didn't find a name for you yet" he said to the kitty. "What about Levi?"

The cat hissed at the name.

"You don't like it?" Minho asked laughing. "Then what do you want?"

The kitty jumped off the counter and marched toward the living room.

"Hey, hey..." Minho run after him. "Don't jump around like this. Your wound might open." He warned the kitty.

But as if the little creature didn't hear him, he walked to the table, climbed up and started to mess with his notes from the night.

"What do you want with those?" Minho asked confused.

The kitty seemed to find what he was searching for and he proudly put his paws on it.

As Minho looked at it he got surprised.

The text said "...which an ordinary method to..." but the cat's paws covered it that way that between his paws there was a clear word. CHAN

"You are an intellectual cat, aren't you?" Minho giggled. "Almost if you would understand what I said. Chan is it then"

The cat slightly purred as Minho patted his head.

"So, Chan?" He asked after a while "what do you say if we're going fir a little shopping?"

A satisfied meow left the kitty's mouth. So Minho got up and headed to the bathroom to wash up and get dressed. It was Saturday so he didn't had to go to school. They had a dance practice in the afternoon, but they had time in the morning to buy all the things the cat needed.

"You ready?" Minho asked as he lifted up the kitty to place it into his arms. He closed his door and looked for his bicycle. He unlocked it and put the cat in the basket on the front.

"Are you ready for the adventure?" He asked as he placed his feet on the pedals.

They spent half of the day in the mall walkig from shop to shop. Minho completely forgot about time.

"Oh my god!" He yelped as he noticed he was almost late from the dance practice. "We don't have time to go back home. We have to hurry"

On his bicycle's handles hung a tons of different kind of bags. They must have been a funny view. The bicycle slightly swaying from the extra weight.

Chan was worried. Not for himself. A cat always lands on it's feet. But he was really worried for Minho. If they fall the boy could hurt himself really bad.

Knowing that he had an upcoming dance competition didn't help. Minho talked about the competition the whole morning. He seemed so excited and happy about it.

Fortunately they arrived to the dance studio safely. Minho locked the bicycle, grabbed all the bags with his left hand, the other held the cat carefully as they walked in. He had his clothes in the studio as he was a permanent customer so he had a locker. He quickly changed and put all his newly bought stuff into the locker and headed to their room.

Hyunjin and Felix looked at him suspiciosly as he walked in late with the kitty on his arms.

"It's not like you, hyung" Hyunjin said eyeing the cat.

"It's a long story" Minho laughed at them. "I will tell you everything after the practice. But since I'm late, which I apologize for, let's just start right now."

The other two nodded. Minho placed the cat on his towel so he will be comfortable and headed to the hi-fi.

They worked about two and a half hour constantly before they decided to give themselves a break. The kitty was calm. He wandered around the studio a bit then he climbed up one of the loudspeaker, curled up on the top. He enjoyed the vibrations of the membrane.

During the break Minho told the whole story how he found the kitty and how he adopted it.
They spent another two hours with practice then they changed while talking and the bid their goodby and headed home.

When Minho arrived home it was 10 PM. His body was shore all over from the practice and the cycling. He throw himself on the couch. He loved this shoreness. It indicated his hard work. He decided to rest a bit before arrange everything he bought. However his eyelids felt heavier than he thought and he drifted off to sleep.

As Chan saw the boy sleeping he shifted back to his human form. He needed to change his bandages so he went to the bathroom. But he didn't forget to cover up a sleeping beauty on the couch.
