An Unexpected Romance | Minsung

You Were My Reason

April 20th - Felix

After finishing all my classes for the day, I head straight home for the day. Or, at least I was going to. I groaned when I realized that I ran out of cat food to feed Kimchi. 

I took a quick trip to a nearby shop and purchased the cat food. It sure would make my job a lot easier if he took switches everyday from being a cat to a human. I knew that wasn't gonna happen anytime soon though. It has been months since I've seen the real Minho. 

I enter the apartment and set down the bags on the table. As I thought my grandparents were taking a peaceful nap in their bedroom. I smile at the sight as I close their door and turn off the lights. 

I grab the bag and head upstairs to my bedroom where I found Kimchi playing with the cat wand my grandparents bought him a couple weeks ago. They seemed to adore him a lot once I introduced him. As for Kimchi he seemed a bit indifferent about them. But I didn't blame him based on his situation. 

I sit on my bed and unravel the canned cat food, shortly placing it on the floor. I whistle to get his attention. He stopped playing with the wand and walks over to the tuna where he starts feasting on it. I put my elbow on top of my knee where I rested my chin on my hand. And I just watch as he eats every piece of its food. 

I wonder why he doesn't turn into a human anymore. I have offered many of times when my grandparents aren't home, but he would just blankly stare at me, and just walk off. Now he just acts like a normal house cat; it's almost like he lost his ability or something. 

"Kimchi?" I softly say. He glances at me for a second before going back to eating. 

"Minho," I call this time, "is there a reason why you haven't turned human yet?" He continues eating. "Are you sure you didn't lose your ability or something? I mean... Jisung told me he's starting to get worried-" Before I could finish my sentence, he goes running off to a different room. 

I let out a sigh, glancing at the red collar in the corner of the room. Jisung had gave it to me so Kimchi could turn human, but it seems like he left it abandoned in the corner of the room, dust gathering up on the collar as the months went by. I pull out my phone, knowing I'll only leave Jisung upset again.

Jisung

I didn't know how much more I could take of this. 

I'm focusing on my studies well, yet my heart aches so much just from the thought of him.

Conversations between me and Chan have become dry. It seems like he's embarrassed that I know for sure now that he takes a liking to me. He seems to pretend nothing even happened between us that night. And I'll do the same. Because I really don't wanna think about it. 

Time flew fast though. Before I knew it, it was December. I couldn't believe it. During this time I became more and more motivated, probably because I couldn't wait any longer to see Minho. I was so desperate to see his beautiful face again. 

Now, I did tell Jeong-in and Chan about the special guy back at home. It may have seemed like a jerk thing to do to Chan, but I really shouldn't give him hope. Not when someone else has my heart. During the months, Felix has yet to see Minho. Not Kimchi. But Lee Minho. Maybe he'll become human again once I return. He has to... 

I was scheduled to leave on the 18th, so I'd be home in time for the holidays. Despite my excitement on going back home, I'm still glad I came here. I learned so much. I'm more than positive this is going help me on my journey.
