Life in the pet store was lonely for Yoongi, since he was the only fancy rat there. Just a few days ago he was in the loving care of his family, but now he's off to be sold to giant "humans" as they call them. He was the only one left, due to his brothers and sisters either being kept for breeding or sold.
Yoongi was a good-looking rat, he thought. There was nothing wrong with him, so why wasn't he sold? 'Maybe it's because I don't have the pretty black spots...' He suggested to himself. He was different because he was all white instead of panda-print like others. He didn't put it to mind though, he jumped on his running wheel and left all discontentment behind.

After a good night's rest, he dug his way out of his sparkly, blue igloo house and stretched himself out of sleepy stiffness. 'Another day, another stay,' He thought as he made his way over to his food bowl, lifting a dried corn kernel between his lengthy fingers and stuffing it into his left cheek. There really wasn't much to do in the glass box besides eat, sleep and run on his wheel.
When he finished breakfast, he looked around, observing his surroundings. Everything was the same as every other day because the shop was rather small and didn't change much. The old rabbit, uncle Joon they called him, was still sleeping in the corner cage, 'It's been far too long' the rat worried, the gerbils were play-fighting in their glass box as they did every day and Yoongi couldn't help but wonder how they were so happy all the time and how they never got bored.

The front door bell rang throughout the store, causing all the animals to look in the direction of the noise in hopes of being picked for adoption and a new home. A tall man walked through the entryway carrying a basket with a small pet box in it and pulled the cat cart behind him. 'It must be Saturday again, time flies by...' The rat thought to himself, 'But what's that box for..?' That man comes on this very day every week to drop the cats off for the weekend, but he hasn't brought a box like that before.
"Hey Kris, how was your week?" the shop owner spoke. "It's been going pretty smoothly up until this morning," Kris opened the box, "I found this little guy on my way to work, he was limping around outside what I think was his owner's fence. Seems like he was attacked by their cat, so I brought him here because I thought maybe you could help him?" Yoongi failed to see inside said box and slumped himself over in disappointment, he watched as the two humans talked a bit more and the one behind the desk finally reached both hands into the container and gently lifted a small ball of fur out of it.
'It's a hamster, a mouse, something of the sorts. I hope it's friendly...' the fancy rat hoped and saw the owner bow to the worker and carry the tiny creature towards the back room. A black mouse lifted his head above the man's hand level and almost immediately made eye contact with Yoongi and they kept it until a door was closed between them. He was left in awe, the mouse had a bleeding eye and some missing hair, yet to Yoongi, he was the most beautiful creature known. He didn't know if it was because the store had never owned mice and he was just enjoying something new or maybe because he felt bad for him. However, the two assumptions he'd come up with didn't seem quite fitting for his situation.

A few days later and the rat still couldn't stop thinking about the new mouse, 'I wonder what his name is, I'll have find a way to ask him after he comes out of the nursing room.' He started his daily workout, which included running on his wheel and that alone and after a few hours on his fifth water break he heard a light squeak. It was the door hinges, the owner finally brought him in to be given a box and the one right next to Yoongi just happened to be the only one open.
He just stared, that's all. Yoongi couldn't muster any words out of his mouth, so they didn't communicate until his new box-neighbor turned away with a sad look on his face and began to scamper into his pink igloo with a slight limp. "H-hi, Im Min Yoongi...w-whats your name?" The mouse stopped and turned around, "Im Jimin, Park Jimin."
