During their Concert in Anaheim, Summer messed up on the Choreography during Side Effects. This went viral, getting hated on left and right. Which sent her into a mental spiral.
"It's one little mistake this will blow over soon, it happens to all of us." Changbin tried to comfort her.
"You don't get it. I'm not like you guys, I'm the odd one out, people out there have been waiting for this moment to absolutely wreck me and get me kicked off this group because I don't fit in well enough with you guys, or simply because i'm not a guy." She said.
"Summer I promise. This won't last. You're going to be okay, It's one little mistake, do you know how many times Jisung has messed up?" This made her laugh a little.
"Yea." She had a small smile on her face, "But still, most people don't care when he messes up because he's Han Jisung. People love you guys by default. I'm still trying to prove myself in this group." She spoke, "I think I need to take a walk."
"Summer it's midnight." Changbin laughed.
"Changbin does it look like that matters to me." She laughed too, "I'll be back." She got up and left her room. Everyone else was hanging out together. Changbin stayed with her to help cheer her up which he think did help.
"How'd it go?" Jisung asked as Changbin walked back into the room.
"I made her laugh." He smiled, "Shes taking a walk, she's still really down on herself." He said.
"Does she have her phone on her?" Chan looked worried.
"Yes. And a pocket knife." He replied.
"Okay good." Chan leaned back in his chair. They were all squished into one of their four hotel rooms in LA.
Summer walked down the streets, still alive with people. She forgot how big LA is. She decided to just let her legs carry her wherever they wanted to, "Hey!" She heard a voice from behind her, "You're that one girl. I've seen your mess up everywhere recently." The girl spoke.
"Thank you so much. That's totally something I love to hear." She gave her a forced smile and quickly walked away. Tears filled up her eyes. To be recognized as 'the mess up girl' that was her final straw. She turned the cornerback into an alleyway before sliding down the wall and sitting with her head in her knees as she cried. She sat there for a little bit before she heard something move, not to far away from her in the alley. She jumped up, ready to run. When she noticed a box not too far away. She didn't know what made her, but she slowly walked over to it and peered in. Inside was a small kitten, all alone. It was grey and white and looked up at her with big blue eyes. She fell in love, immediately. She bent down beside the box and let the cat sniff her, "Hi sweetie." She smiled as the cat rubbed its head against her hand, "Oh you're just so pretty aren't you?" She said in a baby voice.
Eunnie: Changbin.
Binnie: What? Is everything okay?
Eunnie: I have a surprise for you all
Binnie: Oh no
She picked up the box the small cat was in and started her walk back to the hotel. She was still thinking about how much people were hating on her, but she felt better with this cat. She walked up and knocked on the door, "Summer!" Changbin opened it, "What the- Oh my god you did not." She facepalmed.
"She was sitting in this box alone I couldn't just leave her." She said.
"Leave what?" Minho walked over, "Oh my god! Hi little buddy!" He smiled, Summer walked in.
"You brought a cat?" Chan laughed.
"Yes. She's coming home with me. She's mine now." She said, "I'm going to give her a bath." She went into the bathroom and started running water in the sink.
"No way you're just going to bring home a cat from the streets of LA." Seungmin laughed.
"Uh duh I am." She said as she cleaned the cat in the sink, "She needs a name though."
"Are you sure it's a she?" Seungmin laughed.
"Yes Seungmin. I did my research before I got here." She said, "Her name is going to be Alley. Because I found her in an alleyway." She smiled as she scrubbed away at the little kitten, "First thing in the morning I have to get a carrier for the plane. She's small enough that I can carry her on."
"You're actually doing this?" Changbin laughed.
"Duh I am." She replied, "Alley is my favorite thing ever."
"Not us?" Jisung looked sad.
"Close second." She replied, "I'm just kidding, it's tied." She smiled.
"Does this mean you're feeling a bit better?" Changbin asked her.
"A little." She replied as she dried the kitty off, "Here baby." She put the cat down on the floor so she could roam around a little and say hi to all the boys. She really loved Minho. He always had a way with cats, having three of his own. Minho was definitely her second favorite after Summer, For a while she refused to leave the bathroom, but when she did she went right over to Minho.
"I think she likes me." He smiled as he picked her up so she could sit on his lap.
"Yay i'm so excited! You know what do you guys think the store is still open? She's probably so hungry." She asked.
"Look on your maps." Chan said.
"Oh good idea." She said as she looked up places to get cat food thankfully there was one right down the street that was open for only 15 more minutes, "Im going right now." She said. She ran down the street and as she got into there it was one minute till closing.
"Seriously girl?" The man at the front rolled his eyes.
"I just need cat food and then i'll be out of here." She said.
"Hey you're apart of the kpop group aren't you." He said, "You're the girl that messed up that dance yesterday."
"Wow thank you for pointing that out I had now idea." She said as she walked up with cat food in her hand.
"Jeez sorry girl." He said as he rang her up.
"Thanks." She snatched the food and quickly walked out and back to the hotel.
A/N: It's a shorter chapter i'm sorry y'all! But I hope you like the little kitty
