I hope you have a wonderful day!





Minho checks his phone for the time or any replies from you, seeing as it's been a while since you were off to the store for a quick pickup of snacks and cat food, nothing heard from you since you left.

Worry started settling in his skin, rambling on to the cats about how he should have joined you to the store, or gone himself altogether. They stared at him with blank stares, almost seeming bored with his ramblings.

All while Minho was worrying about your unexpectedly long store trip and lack of phone usage, you had already left the store, having come across a stray kitten. You stopped to greet it as you would any other time, only this time you notice the poor little thing unable to even walk. Mewling painfully and shivering from the cold weather.

You set your bags on the ground and crouch down, taking your sweater off you carefully wrap the small kitten up in the soft fabric, being extra attentive to not hurt its leg anymore. You stand and grab your bags with one hand while keeping the kitten close to your chest, walking home.

The moment you walked into the apartment you were bombarded with almost frantic complaints and questions from Minho, you tilt your head confused for a second before it dawns on you, he probably spammed your phone when you started taking so long.

"Y/n, you scared me, you weren't answering! From now on I'll go with you or myself – yah, what are you holding?" Minho deadpans once noticing how odd it was that you held your sweater to your chest. You finally let out a laugh and puts the bags of snacks on the kitchen counter, leaning against the counter you face Minho with the cutest pout and big begging eyes you could muster up.

"I was walking home and saw a stray kitten..."

"Y/n! You can't bring home strays; you don't know how the other cats will react to it." Minho says as it's an obvious thing.

"You would have done the same thing if you saw the state of the baby Min. She was crying out in pain and couldn't even stand or move, and it's cold out there, she would die out there." You say, as you watch him clear off the counter and point to the countertop, "Put her on there, let's see then."

Without anything else from you, you carefully set the now sleeping kitten on the counter, waking her in the process as you're peeling back your bundled sweater, the temperature change and comforting pressure moving off causes the painful mewling to come out of the small animal all over again. You look at Minho, seeing how the small, dirty kitten had already tugged on his heart the same way she did to you.

"Alright, we can bathe her, and put found posters out through the neighborhood to see if she belongs to anyone. If we don't get any calls from anyone, we can keep her if the others get along with her. Okay?" He tells you gently, bringing an arm around your waist, tugging you close to him while his other hand was held out to keep the kitten safe.

A few days have passed by already, your guys' other cats got on well with the kitten, seeming to be taking turns parenting her. Minho and you had taken her to the vet the very next day to make sure she was clean and to get her leg checked. You had also put-up posters all around town, quite reluctantly at that. Days later and you still haven't heard anything about the kitten. True to his words, Minho had agreed to help take the posters down and keep the baby.

Once you walked into the apartment after the long day of tracking down the posters, the new addition to the family waddled up to you the best she could manage what with her small leg cast, you smile, picking her up, and gives the space between her ears a small scratch and sits on the couch, letting her grow comfortable on your chest, purring into your neck. "Welcome home kitty." You tell her quietly and relax.
