The Tale of the Gingerhead (CATNIPZ/BBANGSAZ FANFIC)

Chapter 6: Visit

"Meow." Minji sat up abruptly, the sound of the alarm clock beeping and Haerin's meowing is what reaches her ears first thing in the morning.

Minji clenches her eyes shut and groans out.
"Ah... darn it."

Then the cat meows again, she checks the time and it shows she's already late for work. She did her morning routine then picks up Haerin, with just her boyleg shorts on she walks downstairs, carrying the cat and her pants and bag.

She fed Haerin catfoodwhile she cooked bacon and eggs for herself and a coffee. Ofcourse, she had to finish it all in a rush since she's already late.

Swiftly putting her pants on, tucking her dress shirt in, she combed her hair one last time before heading to the door, putting on her shoes. Haerin approaches her.

"Everyday Haerin." she mutters. The cat is always clingy to her.

Once done with her shoes she stood back up snd looks at the cat.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you to the park, I promise."

The cat circles her leg and she sighs,
"Look, I'm already late Haerinn. Just stay here okay? I promise, I'll even try to get back home as soon as possible." She picks up the cat and gave her a hug and kiss.

And it always miraculously do the trick, Minji mildly smiles as the cat starts to approach the couch and jump onto it, laying there comfortably while looking at her.

Minji waves at the cat before heading out.

-----

Minji arrived at work and yes, Jungwon was there along with the few others that chose to work at weekends. The guy ralked to her for like an hour before finally working on his own tasks.

Minji concludes that this Jungwon guy is just too talkative, perhaps trying to win everybody's heart.

Minji scoffs at that, even her heart? No, pfft.

Is it just Minji or time flew by painfully slow today? Finally, it was time to go home. She had to do whatever it takes to avoid talking to Jungwon, that's how much he dislikes the guy.

She checked the time on her phone and it reads 6pm. She felt bad for her cat again, always eating late, like her. Well, it's better than now eating at all right?

She hurried her way back home. She rummages her bag, looking for the keys shen her eyes caught the different positioning of the flower pot near her door. She fixes it and decides to use the key underneath it instead.

Twists the doorknob then pushes the door open. She was immediately greeted by her cat. She picks it up and gave it a kiss. Her eyes looks around the room and senses something off again. Maybe she'll hesr footsteps again?

She waited, a minute, three minutes and there was nothing. She finally relaxes, she slips her bag off and takes iff her shoes, placing them on the shoerack when she heard clankings coming from the kitchen.

Her eyes widens as she froze, she gulps. Could it be rats? She took slow steps towards the kitchen, hesrt thumping in her chest.

She finally reaches the door connecting the kitchen when a figure came face to face with her.
"AH!!"

They both shouted at the same time.
"Hanni?!" Minji furrowed her eyebrows at the other girl.

"What the heck are you doing sneaking around inside your own house? I thought you were someone else!" Hanni said with a hand placed on her chest.

"Sorry I was—what are you doing here by the way?" Minji asks with one eyebrows raised and Hanni playfully tuts her tongue and turns to leave, walk past Minji but the latter took hold of her arm and says.
