You gasped as you realised that the cat was talking. You were just way too shocked and you could hear Namjoon laughing uncontrollably by the side.

You wet your lips nervously, trying to remain your composure. You didn't really know how to address him.

"Umm so Mr Cat?"

"You can just call me Min, child."

You realised that the M on the flute was meant to represent Min. This meant that the flute really belonged to this cat. You stared at the cat amazed.

"J-just Min?"

"Yes, dear."

You still couldn't believe that the cat could actually speak. It was so weird but everything had been so weird so you adapted to the situation way faster than before.

"Ok then Min. So you are telling me that you are the owner of the flute?"

The cat nodded his head.

"T-then how do you play it?"

That was when Namjoon broke into loud laughter. She wondered if she had asked something strange but she couldn't help it. She was just curious. She wanted to know how a cat played a flute.

The cat glared at Namjoon and he immediately stopped laughing. The cat cleared his throat and turned to look at you.

"This is not my real form. I can't really show you that yet."

You made an 'o' with your lips and took note of what he said. You wondered what is real form is. A demon? A hybrid? An enormous monster or something? Just thinking about it gave you creeps all over your spine.

The cat looked out of the window and then back at you.

"It's getting dark, child. Bring her back home."

"Yes boss."

Namjoon stood up and pulled you by your arm. You watched the cat jump back to the shelf where the flute was placed. That was when a question struck in your mind.

"U-umm why is Namjoon doing this?"

"By this. You must mean his duty. Well, he has to pay for what he has done."

Before you could ask any further questions, Namjoon dragged you out of the house. You let him pull you away. Probably because you weren't thinking straight. Who could possibly after seeing a talking cat?

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

Both of you reached your house. You stood at your doorstep and thought of something. You turned around and just as you were about to speak, Namjoon held his hand up to stop you.

"I know what you are going to ask. I can't tell you yet."

The corner of your lips turned down and you were definitely not happy with his answer.

"You always never have answers."

"Time will tell, little kitten. Patience."

"Well my patience has a limit so please hurry up," you said as you folded your arms and tapped your foot on the ground.

He let out a small laughter and pinched both of your cheeks. He giggled as he did that, finding you adorable.

"Staph ish" (stop it)

He laughed even louder and stopped pinching your cheeks.

You rubbed your cheeks and glared at him. He apologised and gave you a cheeky grin which you couldn't help but find it cute and eventually forgave him.
