Too Precious To Leave Alone (Dahyun x J-Line)

Unexpected Reunions

NGL this is just an excuse to write about Dubu and Minju cuz they're besties now also in this chapter they're wearing the blue outfits cuz I like blue

and I know it's been a year but I miss IZ*ONE

"Look at our little kitty," Sana gushed, checking if Dahyun's space buns looked properly done. "So adorable!"

Out of all three of them, Sana loved dressing up their little kitten. She seemed especially fond of putting her in blue and white outfits because with the silvery-white hair and pale skin looks like a real life cat version of Elsa from Frozen.

Today's outfit was no different. A sky blue dress with a white plaid design, a white cropped jacket, along with cream knee high socks and navy blue boots. Sana also added a pearl necklace, a few rings and two ribbon earrings as accessories. Dahyun's cat ears and tail made her look extra precious.

Momo and Mina walked in and smiled. "Awwww...." Momo coos, scratching the special part in Dahyun's ears that makes her purr. "Such a cutie pie."

Mina looks worried. "Do we have to go out? Dubu's adorable, and what if something bad happens to her?"

Sana searches through her bag. "Not to fear! I came prepared, Mitang!" She pulled out a charm bracelet with a real bell among the charms. "This will be used whenever she runs off!" Sana explained, putting the bracelet on Dahyun's left wrist. Dahyun rapidly shakes said wrist, giggling at the sound of the bell. The Japanese women all cooed at her.

"And you know this how?" Momo asks suspiciously.

"Hey! I can know stuff! And remember Chan and Felix's kitty Minho? He and Dahyun had a playdate yesterday! I learned all it from Chan!"

"I see..." Mina  mumbled, looking less worried. "Okay, let's go, then."

They walked around the town, Mina keeping a firm grip on Dahyun's tiny hand as the curious little kitten looked around, all three of them checking every three seconds if she was still with Mina. 

Good thing that Dahyun's a well-behaved cat, not once making an attempt to get a closer look at something interesting.

While looking around, Dahyun's observant eyes caught a fennec fox literally getting kicked out of a store, the owner yelling "bloody thief" at her. The fox looked close to tears as she turned into her hybrid form, a slightly dirty yet beautiful young girl with anime-level long, tawny brown hair, then got up slowly, wincing in pain and checking her leg.

Dahyun gasps as she saw a glimpse of the fox's face. "Ming-Ming?"

Ming-Ming, or Minju, was Dahyun's best friend in the street. They've been inseparable until the night Dahyun was found by Momo and Sana and Minju went off to get them some food.

Dahyun's been trying to look for her ever since. And finally she found her.

"Saw something you like, Dubu-chan?" Sana asked.

"Ming-Ming." Dahyun says, pointing to where the fox is.

"There? But nothing's there, baby." Momo says, a bit confused.

Dahyun pouts when she realized that Ming-Ming was gone. What should she do? She wants to follow her, but she can't leave her caregivers.

But if there's one thing she learned during her time in the streets, it's that there's always a way, it just needs to be found.

Life gave her a way later, while the little family was having lunch at a fried chicken place.

"I-I didn't steal it! It wasn't me!" Dahyun's ears perk at the voice. It was Minju, and holding her arm was the angry restaurant owner.
