It was the day after Melody had seen her uncle that she woke up, bright and early as a human again. She wasn't sure what exactly had allowed her to change, but maybe having both her chosen family and some resemblance of her biological family gave her new hope. Today could be the day she would get her answers.

"What has you jumping out of bed so enthusiastically?" Yoongi asked, happy to see his girlfriends human shape again.

"I'm going to see him today." Melody answered with her toothbrush in her mouth.

"Him?" Yoongi asked. He was slightly disappointed but his level of confusion was higher than that.

"Yeah, the guy from the elevator?" Melody said, missing all of the emotions her partner was displaying. "I'm pretty sure he is my uncle. Of course last time I saw him he was a cat, but-"

"Wait" Yoongi interrupted, even more confused now. "Your uncle, who can also turn into an animal, moved into our building?" Never in his life had Yoongi expected to be in a situation like this.

"Well yeah." Melody stated, as if it had been obvious. "I'm not 100 percent sure, as I said he was a cat last time, but I'm pretty sure it was him." 

Yoongi, too tired to fully let all this new information sink in, couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. After all they had gone through the last week, she finally turned back and the first thing she does is talk about another guy? Sure, there was a chance it was her uncle, but didn't they have to talk about what happened to them first?

Melody didn't seem to notice anything was wrong. Maybe it was because she had recognised the man sooner. Maybe it was because that cold day in Russia had been an adventure for her. Sure it had been scary, but she had also learned so much.

Yoongi just got quiet as he saw how hastily the girl put on her shoes and how she waited impatiently for him to get ready too. At least she wanted him to come with her he thought.

"We'll be right back!" Melody told the others who were slowly getting ready and eating their breakfast. They looked surprised at the door the couple just disappeared through. She really didn't seem to notice what was going on.


Melody seemed jittery as she stood in front of the newly re-inhabited room. She had pressed the door bel maybe three times in the last five seconds, too impatient to realistically be able to tell the passage of time.

"It's early, maybe he's asleep." Yoongi said, the irritation almost seeping out of him.

Unfortunately for the pop-star they did start to hear sounds from the other side of the door. it took a short while before the door was opened and they were faced with the man from the elevator again.

"You're a bit earlier than expected, it is still prime sleeping time." The man said as he opened the door wide. "But who am I to send you away little one? I see you brought your friend." He gestured at the two to enter the barely furnished room.

"Yeah, this is Yoongi, we live together." Melody said happily introducing her less happy boyfriend.

"Make sure you know for sure who is first please." Yoongi muttered surprised at how easily the girl had entered the house of someone who could have been a complete stranger.

Melody seemed to finally start to realise her partner was not as enthusiastic as she was and looked at him confused.

Just like in the elevator, the man said something in Russian forcing Melody to make it known she didn't actually understand Russian.

"No Russian?" The man said bewildered. "That your dad would allow that! But- ahhh" he pointed at the girl as if he had just figured out a riddle. "Your mother was in charge of your schooling wasn't she?" Melody just nodded. "Yeah, your mom always hated our family. she probably didn't want you to get too close to us."

"Why did she marry dad then?" Melody asked confused. She was aware she hadn't been close with her paternal side of the family, but didn't realise it was done so purposeful.

"Oh she loved your dad. Difficult not to, he's a true leech once he has you in his grip he-" The man seemed to get a grip of himself mid-rant and decided this might not be the most appropriate topic for the young girl.

"Are you really her uncle then?" Yoongi asked getting slightly curious about the situation.

"Oh, yes, I'm Victor." the man suddenly stepped forward to shake Yoongi's hand as if they only now saw each other. "I'm sorry for the lack of seating area, I'm used to being by myself... And being a cat."

Yoongi just shrugged his shoulders and walked around a bit. On one hand he was still upset. On the other hand, he was getting more and more curious. Would this be how Melody would live if she had been by herself? The room truly was barren except for a few cat towers.

"Your boyfriend?" Yoongi heard Victor ask Melody who nodded. "And what about those other fellows?" Yoongi didn't have to see the mans face to know his eyebrow was raised.

"They are our friends." Yoongi answered, walking closer as to join the conversation again.

"Close friends?" the man asked looking Melody straight in the eyes.

"Very close friends." Melody assured the elder.

"Good. It's good to have close friends." Victor said seeming relieved. "I'm sorry we were never there for you to rely on." Victor sounded guilt ridden as his apology left his lips.

"I still managed" Melody said, trying to sound brave and unbothered. "Besides, you guys helped me when I needed you to bring me back to my friends."

"That was you?" Yoongi asked surprised.

"Yeah, brown, fluffy siberian? That was me. "Sorry about your shoe by the way."
