jisoo woke up the next day feeling new and fresh. the human (especially its eyes and heart) he ate yesterday made jisoo bloom and his feautures to pop out.

so pretty! jisoo thought, smiling at his reflection on the mirror. his eyes had a faint and nice glow, while his lips were pinkish and cheeks rosy. (most of the trinklets on his antlers were missing, but he doesn't want to get angry today so he ignores it.)

the birds and swans always said jisoo was pretty like them, and he always had marriage offers. jisoo knows he is pretty. the humans may think he is not because he doesn't look like them, but.. nobody cares about what stupid humans think.

jisoo immediately gets to the bathroom and takes a shower (he still doesn't know how soaps work, so he just used shampoo for everything because it smelled nice and fruity) before he changed his clothing to his work uniform. he takes the springy hair tie, and runs out of his room to ask seungcheol to tie his hair for him.

(jisoo just realized that seungcheol had 'seung' in his name, which meant win. he gets a little annoyed at that.)

"loser!" jisoo yelled, his voice resonating in the whole apartment. he looks left and right, up and down, north to south—but the lowly human was nowhere to be found. "where are you? tie my hair!"

jisoo remembers that seungcheol's room was the one next to his, so jisoo barges in the latter's room rudely, while yelling.

"seungcheol! where are you? do you want me to eat you?" jisoo threatened, crossing his arms. he finds the detective on the floor, still in his weird sleepwear, crouching and back turned on jisoo. "you're still not ready? don't you want money? let's go and work!"

seungcheol turns around, finally, and jisoo was dumbfounded.

seungcheol looked like a child whose food was stolen. he had this icky substance on his shirt, too, that made jisoo gag at the smell. in addition, he had neko the cat in his arms, and he was frowning like he would burst into tears if jisoo asks whether he's okay.

"what's happening?" jisoo asked, walking closer to seungcheol. "what're you doing?"

"neko the cat just puked on me. and she looks bloated. i'll get her to the vet, she seems sick." seungcheol mumbled out, holding up neko the cat like she was the chosen one. "look at her, jisoo."

sick? neko the cat looks perfectly fine to jisoo. she was jesting around yesterday night, even teasing jisoo shamelessly. what would possibly cause this? jisoo needs to figure it out now, because seungcheol looks and sounds like he's going to cry, and he needs to go to work. what's so special about this cat anyway?

puking, bloated. only two symptoms. hmm.

"oh! that's normal for pregnant cats." jisoo laughed, glancing at the ginger pet seungcheol owned. "you don't need to get her anywhere."

seungcheol puts neko the cat down, standing up right after. his shoulders were slumped and his eyes looked like they contained stars in them. "really? i... i'm gonna be a granddad?"

technically, seungcheol was not going to be a grandpapa because he's not neko the cat's father and he certainly was not a cat hybrid or whatever. but jisoo decided to not destroy his hopes anyway, because it was cute.

(get yourself together, jisoo. what's happening to the morally grey earth protector? calling his enemies 'cute' instead of doing his job? why is he even here? he needs to go back to the forest.)

jisoo let out a chuckle. "yes, you are."

seungcheol dramatically sniffled and turned to neko the cat, pointing a finger at her. "you whore. you hooked up with jeonghan's cat the last time you were together, didn't you? and i'm going to pay for all your kittens' stuff? unbelievable. we need to get your kids child support from their dad."
