"you never told me you owned a cat," yoongi says this as he hands hoseok the paper bag with canned cat food in it.
"uh," hoseok starts, scratching the back of his neck. "i don't."
yoongi tilts his head sideways before cocking a brow.
"it's not mine..."
yoongi hums. "so, you're babysitting, then? or should i say, catsitting?"
hoseok shakes his head before smiling sheepishly. "it's not like that either. it's a stray."
"a stray cat."
"yes," hoseok answered. "he's cute. black all over and very tiny." the he reminds me of you is unsaid, hoseok deciding not to say it in the last minute because he doesn't know how yoongi will react to being compared to a cat. well, there are lots of similarities though. hoseok has always associated yoongi with cats – be it by physical appearance or just his habits in general.
a parrot squawks near them, breaking the silence.
"i should get going." hoseok raises the paper bag in yoongi's sight and the older nods, mouth stretching into a small smile.
"right. i gotta go and feed the fishes." yoongi shuffles behind the counter and hoseok takes this as a cue to leave the pet shop.
he smiles to himself, unable to erase the picture of yoongi in a paw-patterned apron in his mind.

"here, kitty-kitty," hoseok calls at the black cat as he sets down the plate with cat food on the ground. the cat meows back at him, tiny paws padding over to where the food is.
hoseok watches the cat lick the food experimentally before practically diving in it.
while staring at the cat, hoseok recalls about the first time he'd seen the tiny creature. it had climbed on his window while he was rehearsing for his dance. he remembered screaming about it, seeing the feline's glowing eyes peering at him in his windowsill. hoseok had let it enter the studio and fed it some leftover jjajangmyeon.
since then, the cat continued visiting, always leaving at night, and hoseok grew more and more fond of the feline each passing day.
"aren't you a cute little thing?" hoseok coos. the cat looks up at him and tilts its head, tail swishing side to side and hoseok is taken aback at how the cat seemed to understand him.
"you understand me?" hoseok feels crazy, trying to communicate with a cat. however, the creature only resumes licking the leftover food from the plate.

"so, what's its name?"
yoongi looks like he just woke up. his black hair is unstyled, all fluffed up on one side and messy. not to mention that his face is pale and bloated. cute. hoseok ignores the warm sensation spreading all over his chest.
