a night sky filled with the moon, oh so brightxu minghao.
i let out a little yelp, hearing the cat bounce back. i lifted my head up, seeing a rosy brown persian kitten, or a cat. the cat was too tiny to see if it was an adult, so i just assumed it was an adult. the persian's eyes were harvest gold, and his tail was long and dragged against the rough ground. i reached my hand out, trying to get familiar with the cat. the cat trotted towards my hand, and suddenly i felt sharp teeth digging into my index finger. i slowly pulled my finger away, guiding the furball towards me. as it got closer, i wrapped my arms around the cat's waist, feeling its rib cage.
"ahh, poor cat. i'll get you to safety soon. just stay with me now. alright?" i whispered as i lifted up the cat. i stumbled on the sidewalk, the wind pushing me around in all directions. my grip on the cat's waist tightened, securing it into my arms. i walked to a nearby pet store, hoping it will do me some good.
i pushed the door open with my leg, hearing a welcoming bell ring. a slim, long-haired woman greeted me and asked if i needed any help. on her sleeve, a name tag was held. seulgi. she asked if the cat was a stray, and i said yes. seulgi nodded and led me to the vet's office.
"hello, welcome to my office! how can i help you, young man?" the doctor greeted
"a-ah, hello. i found this stray on the road, and i would like to give it a nice, healthy home. can you please update the cat with vaccines and check if it has an owner? the cat did not have a collar when i found it, so i assumed it was a stray." i asked, trying my best not to stutter.
"oh! i can definitely help you, young sir. just please place the cat on the table." the vet said with a smile.
the doctor pressed lightly on the cat's neck, checking for an inserted chip. then, the doctor took out a small needle, injecting vaccines to fight back any diseases from the cat.
"alright! all done. here, take these too. you may need this to care for the cat." the doctor rambled on as he handed me a small bag of cat food, 2 bowls, 1 tiny cat toy, a small cat bed, and a comb for the cat.
"thank you! i will put this to good use," i said in awe as the doctor handed me the bags. i picked up my persian and once again, thanked the vet. i walked out of the pet store.
the cold wind slapped me in the face again as i ran across the street. i reached the 💎 svt 💎 house and tried to open the door. locked. my breath quickened as i tried again. i knocked frantically, feeling a dangerous presence. i felt like i had a heart attack as my cat hissed. i turned around, seeing his face. i quickly fell to the ground, the bag and the items sprawled on the concrete sidewalk. my knees punctured my chest, my cat still in my arms. cheng he bent down and gave me a smile. he raised his fist and i could feel his cold glare before his knuckles came in contact with my left side of my face.
i let out a small scream, feeling my face bruise up. tears lingered on my lashes as he was about to punch me again. as he swung his fist again, i fell backward as the door opened. i felt strong hands catch me and the cat, and the cat slipped out of my arms and into the house. the strong arms lifted me up and took me by the hand.
"cheollie-ah.." i said quietly as he sat me down on the couch. he walked back to the door frame, looking up and cheng he.
"you fucker!" he yelled at cheng, throwing a forceful punch at him. cheol threw him to the ground like he was weightless. he continued throwing fearful punches at the poor man. cheollie later stood up and stared at his prey. he grabbed the items from the pet store and walked back inside. he took one last glance at the passed out man, with a bleeding lip and nose, and two bruised cheeks. he let out a laugh and walked back inside the living room.
he closed the door and walked toward me with a sorrowful expression on his face.
"im sorry minghao. i'll get jeongh-" cheol was cut off by a scream, possibly by jihoon.
"whAT THE FUCK IS THAT " jihoon yelled, followed by a crashing noise.
"the cat cheol got in his office.. oh shit." i started to panic until i saw the brown cat walk back into the room.
"anyways, i'll get jeonghan and jisoo to take care of you." cheol continued, petting my hair.
"han and shua! minghao is here! come down here!" cheol said, heading for the stairs.
jeonghan and jisoo come downstairs, hannie nearly fainting.
"hao! what happened my child!" jeonghan yelled, making joshua get an icepack
"cheng he got drunk and hurt me, just a bit," i said as the persian cat sat on my lap.
"ah, you should really break up with him. i know you told him countless times, but tell him when he's sober. always go to us for support, hao. we got your back." hannie said as joshua handed him an ice pack. he placed the cold pack on the bruised side of my face.
i nodded as the cat quietly purred.
