Sing Me To Sleep | cat Jihoon & vampire Mingyu

I - Him

It could be the fact you hope too much that you have a cage around your heart.
It's so easy to show affection to someone as much as it's easy to tell someone to fuck off. 

'Thank you' and 'fuck you' change people's lives.

Jihoon is a cat hybrid. A rare species. Plus the fact he's only half cat and half wizard. It's a combination that surprised the world. Such powerful hybrid born to a common family.
No one could ever think of that combination since species never got along. Cats weren't socially active, they'd rather sleep or play on their own or their own species, but quite the predators. Whereas witches were loud and outgoing, they always spend their time having fun.

Opposites attract.

Jihoon was in the middle, he would have fun but he had boundaries put by himself and he didn't spend a lot time inside the house. He grew up alone, he was raised by his parents' friends a family of elves . He always thought of them as family, they treated him like a child of their own. 

The hybrid was incredibly smart, a nerd, that kid in school that's bullied for homework and for being different in general.  Jihoon finished primary school after 9 years of schooling, (a special school for creatures) and then he was sent away from Busan to Seoul to  creatures' high school. He knew where he was going and even though the rules and professors  were strict as hell there were still cases of fights among students.

 The school was more than four hundred years old. Kids were accepted not depending on their grades with special programmes for each species; there were vampires, werewolves, hybrids of all kinds, fairies, witches... 

What made Jihoon really happy were the witches. He wanted badly to meet one since there were no witches in his school. Witches weren't rare but in the past few decades their number had unfortunately decreased.

He was sent off with good lucks from his friends and family, his mother was crying and his father was proud. His friends admired him and he was glad he had friends who wished him well. 

"You ready, hobbit?" 

His sight darkened when his best friend stood behind him. Soonyoung laughed at the glare from the younger one.

"Come on, the bus won't wait for us." With a small wave he left his family and headed towards a bus station where the bus was supposedly coming. "So, packed everything? Semester lasts for four months but it's a really long time when you actually wait for it so pass." 

Jihoon nodded while sitting down.

"What did your parents say?" he asked Soonyoung who stood in front of him. 

Soonyoung was  a tiger hybrid, his ears were smaller but more sensitive and his tail was short but thick.  He shrugged, his lower lip protruded. "They don't really care. They just want me to come back soon to start working and earning money." 

Jihoon chuckled bitterly, shaking his head in disbelief. Soonyoung's parents were always hard on him, forcing him to work part time jobs to earn money from a young age. They weren't poor, Soonyoung had a modest upbringing, but his parents seemed to be stingy.

 "Why don't you go away somewhere when you finish high school? With our  grades we don't even need money for schooling. The Creatures' Department for Education pays your exams and you get monthly allowance. You wouldn't have to go back to your parents." 

Soonyoung smiled, looking at his friend, his eyes barely visible. "We could do that." 

Jihoon smiled back, it was a must when Kwon Soonyoung smiles at you. Jihoon stood up when he saw a black buss approaching the station.
