Chio Petcare

"Minghao... Junhui..." Jeonghan peeked out of his operation room wearing Seungcheol's red jacket. "Thanks for waiting."

"Of course! How is she?" Junhui asked hurrying over to him.

"Chow is doing great!"

"And the kittens?"

"About the kittens..." Jeonghan gave a sheepish smile. "...Why don't you two see Choe first?"

Jeonghan brought them in.

"He had a wound on his right paw but that'll heal up in a few days..." Jeonghan explained. "As for the kittens... Well, there are no kittens."

"Eh?" Minghao tilted his head.

"What?!" Junhui was shocked.

"There were never any kittens. You see. Chow is a tomcat. He's just pudgy, not pregnant, plus he's a male so... You know..." Jeonghan chuckled holding Chow in his arms.

"Huh, I never noticed..." Minghao caresses his chin.

"Oh... I never checked. He was round so I just assumed he was pregnant." Junhui scratched his head embarrassed of his mistake.

"Mhmm. He's overweight so we have to get him to a healthy weight soon." Jeonghan smiled. "We're gonna put him on a healthy diet plan from now on. So, who's taking him home?"

"I'd love to but my landlord doesn't allow pets. I'm so sorry..." Junhui apologized.

"Same here. My brother-in-law is allergic to cats. I won't be able to keep pets until I move out." Minghao sighed.

"I guess that leaves me. How about it, Chow? Wanna come home with me?" Jeonghan caressed Chow's cheek as she purred. "We're lucky Mrs. Boo loves animals, huh?"

"Mya~"

"Don't worry. We'll visit often." Minghao smiled.

"And bring you your favorite treats but not too much. Haha!" Junhui chuckled.

"We'll look forward to it." Jeonghan smiled.

"OH MY GOSH!!! What a cute baby!" Mrs. Boo played with Chow's plum cheeks to her heart's content.

"His name is Chow." Jeonghan took off his shoes entering the house as he saw Mrs. Boo sit down on the couch.

"Look at you! I could just eat you up!" Mrs. Book pecked Chow. "And where did you find this precious little thing?"

Jeonghan wasn't one to lie directly but who said he couldn't? "In an old house not too far from here. I was with Minghao, Junhui, and Cheol."

"Oh, Cheolie? It's nice to know that you two are getting along well." Mrs. Boo had known Seungcheol since he was a wee baby in a diaper. "He can get a little loud and obnoxious sometimes but he's a pretty good kid!"

"Yeah..." Jeonghan blushed looking away. "He's not that bad."

"Han, I just noticed. Are your clothes wet?" Mrs. Boo raised an eyebrow.

"O-Oh yeah." Jeonghan felt like his mother was about to nag him.

"What happened?"

"A little accident while we were trying to get Chow." Jeonghan looked at Seungcheol's red jacket on him.

"Then what are you standing around for?! Go get changed, young man!" Mrs. Boo stood up and pushed Jeonghan.

"Wait..." Jeonghan was pushed into the bathroom.
