The white cat pads on the carpet as I stroke the scar on my arm.
Yeonjun walks through the hallway door and smiles at me. I smile back, pulling his hand so that he's sitting next to me. I rest my head against his shoulder as he strokes my blue hair.
The white cat walks in a circle, testing her claws on the carpet before leaping on the navy couch. Yeonjun waves a cat toy at it. The white cat leaps and paws the feather dangling on the stick.
I let out a laugh and scratch the back of its ears.
"Any name suggestions?" A relaxed smile on Yeonjun's face.
"Mira." I say.
"Yeah, Mira." Yeonjun smiles, stroking the hair from my face.

"You know the name Mira, it has the same sound as the word Mirror." I randomly say.
"Yeah, I know, what about it?" Yeonjun says, putting the blonde dye can.
"That was what we named our cat before he ran away. I really hope we can get a cat again." I say in disappointment.
"I promise, we'll get a cat soon. Together. Pinky promise?" Yeonjun's eyes shred certainty.
"Okay okay." I say and link my pinky with his.

Yeonjun strokes the hair from my face.
"I promised we would get a cat soon. Together? Pinky Promise?" Yeonjun asks now.
I smile at his pinky outstretched. "Pinky Promise."
Mira comes to Yeonjun's face and licks his lips and nose.
I laugh, as Mira stares at me before pawing my blue head.
"Mira likes your head." Yeonjun chuckles.
"You know cats wiggle their butts when they're about to catch their prey." I say impulsively.
"Yeah I saw, it looks like-" Yeonjun starts.
"I don't need a demonstration of you twerking thanks." I respond.
"WHAT? HOW DO YOU KNOW ME SO WELL?" Yeonjun says astonished.
"Would you like me to prick my skin with a pin and take us to the doctor? I'm sure he would say that we're of the same blood?" I say.
"Wow, you're so sarcastic." Yeonjun slow claps.
"Clearly, you're enjoying my company." I respond, picking at my nails.
"I wouldn't want to spend my time with anyone else!" Yeonjun says.
"Okay, Okay, that's enough, I get we're both the kings and queens of sarcasm." I say.
Suddenly, both our eyes are on Mira, and she's wiggling her butt.
I start laughing so hard I drop onto the carpet, banging my fists onto the floor.
Yeonjun claps his hands and laughs, a little cockroach is running on the floor.
"Pew pew pew! Come on Mira! Come on Mira!" Yeonjun makes a finger gun.
"That's actually disgusting." I grimace at the cockroach.
"AND THE GAME IS DONE! WE HAVE A WINNER!" Yeonjun grabs Mira's paw lifting it up in air.
"WHOOP WHOOP! MIRA HAS SUCCESSFULLY CAUGHT HER PREY!" I cheer, sprawling across the floor.
