The next morning he woke up, Minho turned into a cat again. Jisung let out a heavy sigh.

"Mint..."

The small guy moved to Jisung's lap, curling into a fluff ball. Honestly he was a bit sad when Minho shifted into his cat form again. He really wanted to interact with the human him.

He picked up the cat and laid on his back, placing Mint on his chest.

That's when he realised the guy was shivering.

He cursed under his breath as he got up again, checking his temperature.

"You caught my cold!"

"Meow..."

"Aish what did I say about cuddling last night-" Mint looked up to him with puppy eyes. Wasn't sure if it counts as puppy eyes because he was a cat but all he knew Mint was sad. Jisung's heart softened.

His fever has gone a bit so he thought it would be great if he brings Minho to the doctor.

But then another thought strikes his mind.

"Do I bring you to the hospital or vet?"

--

Because the cat wanted to stay in his current form, Jisung took him to the vet. They left the house right after having a quick breakfast. Mint refused to eat earlier which made Jisung worry more.

The vet put Mint on the table, checking his temperature. It was quite high for a cat. After receiving the prescriptions he brought Mint home and tried to make him eat his medicines.

But again, he refused.

Jisung started to panic. He heard so much stories from his friends saying their cats died because of a certain virus and before that they'd get a fever and did not want to eat. The cold might came from Jisung himself or because of the cold temperature last night but there's other possibilities too.

"Mint please.." he begged, near to crying. "If... if you don't want to eat then shift, at least I know what to do."

Unfortunately for him, he got ignored again.

"Okay then.." the blonde muttered as he wrapped Mint in a smaller blanket, keeping him warm. "I still need to go to the session, should I ask Hyunjin and Seungmin—" he halted when remembering Seungmin was taking his last paper today. "Or Felix and Changbin hyung. No they are not home either." he facepalm himself.

He went out to get his phone. When he left Mint slowly removed the blanket of him and tried to jumped off the floor. Afraid if he fell on the wrong side, he shifted into a human willingly.

Pain immediately strikes his head. Minho winced as he placed his hand on his head, head hanging down with his eyes closed to bear the pain. It was unbearable that he let out a small whimper.

Jisung gasped when he entered the room. "M–minho.."

Said guy did not say anything. He kept his head down, whimpering lightly.

"Hurts.."

"Let's.. uh..." Jisung looked around to find some handkerchief but he grabbed a towel instead. He pulled Minho up and brought him to the bathroom. The guy almost stumbled on his feet so he wrapped his arms around Jisung's waist, hiding his face on his shoulder afterwards. Jisung could feel the hot breath against his skin. "How did you get this sick, Min?"

"It was cold." he muttered.

There was a small towel hanging in the bathroom. Jisung ran it under the water and squeezed it. He let Minho hugged him from the side while doing his work.
