- That kid

- That kid... he's really pushing his luck. Are all Australians like him? He seemed nice and all, but this is too much.
First, it was Changbin help me move, then Changbin buy me lunch, Changbin teach me about Kpop... it never ends. And now, now... Now it's Changbin take my cat to this address!
What am I, his personal assistant??

Changbin's rant continues as he's circling around the street to find a parking spot. With his luck, he'll have to park far, and everybody knows how much Oreo hates being carried in a carrier.
Luckily, he parks not too far and turns to Oreo who's peacefully sleeping on a passenger's seat.

- See Oreo, I was good to you and I let you walk around my car cause you hate the box. Now you be nice to me and get in the box, will you?

Oreo just blinks, not quite sure is this conversation worth getting up or not. He detects no cat-treats on this human, so it's probably not worth moving.
But, the moment human pulls out that horrible box from a back seat, Oreo jumps on the wheel and starts hissing.

- Look, it's all Felix's idea, not mine. I have to bring you to that address over there, okay? It's not too far.
If I just carry you, will you be nice?

Oreo climbs down to Changbin's lap in agreement, and even allows him to wrap them both in a jacket.

- Ok, Oreo, be good and this won't hurt. I promise. I think there are other cats living there, so you won't be lonely any more.

Oreo may be an annoyance sometimes, but he communicates with humans quite well. He lets Changbin carry him like a baby swaddled in his jacket, and soon enough they're in front of the house with a little garden and flowers on a porch.

Sound of a doorbell is quiet and gentle.
Oreo gets quite comfortable at human's chest and even starts purring, so Changbin gives a few comforting pets while holding him with another hand.

The doors open, and....

















Changbin's heart stops.




















- Hi, you must be Changbin.






- I. Am.







- I'm Yeji, nice to meet you. - she smiles, looking drop-dead gorgeous as always. - Oh my, did you carry Oreo inside your jacket? That's adorable!

- I did. Yeah, I'm all adorable like that.

- Come inside please. I locked my cat in the other room for now. I was reading that cats need time to get used to the smell of a new feline, before they meet. You can let Oreo down to walk around and explore the place a little. Oh, look at that cute face, who's a pretty kitty?

- Felix just told me to bring Oreo, I didn't know you live here... I mean, I'm a huge fan, you have no idea.

- I know. - she looks up at Changbin and smiles the way she smiles in her live, he knows that smile so well. It's a smile that makes him all weak in knees.

- You know I'm a fan?

- Yes. Felix doesn't stop talking about you, how much you want to meet me, how amazing you are, talented, kind.... I just had to meet you.

- Yeah, I'll still kill him for not telling me. I'd bring flowers at least-

- No, no, I made him promise on his love with Hyunjin that he wouldn't tell you. I have to be careful all the time not to be seen with anyone. This is not even my home, it's my parent's place. You'll now meet my mom and sister.

- Of course, I'm honored, but I should have brought a gift or-

- Changbin, you'll bring me flowers next time, ok?

Changbin could swear the Earth just stoped moving around its axis for a second. Clocks stopped working. Time froze, and his heart skipped a beat.

- Next? Time?

- If you like, we could have a lunch sometime. Maybe you can let me hear your songs?

- Am I... dreaming?

She laughs and her laughter is the most beautiful sound he ever heard. He'll still kill Felix for doing this to him, but omg is he the happiest man ever or what??!!

After meeting her family, Changbin gives his phone number to Yeji, and double-checks three more times to make sure she received it and saved it in her phone.

He thanks everyone for being so kind to take Oreo, and waves goodbye but his feet remain attached to the ground.

- Don't be harsh to Felix please, I made him swear to secrecy.

- Okay, I won't. - he responds cutely, and even blushes a little.
With a great difficulty, he leaves his goddess Yeji. He doesn't remember walking back to the car, and he might have stayed frozen in a parked car for a while, but a ping on his phone brings him back to reality.

He looks at the screen and sees the most beautiful message of all messages ever sent to anyone:

———————————————————
I'll see you later, Changbin.
Y.

I think Changbin is really
a romantic guy.
Whoever wins his heart will be placed on a pedestal and adored.
