a starry night with blurred lights.

as jeonghan steadily held the ice pack to my face, i heard loud stomping. both of our heads turned to the source of the ruckus, and we saw an angry jihoon. he was holding his headphones in his small hands, nearly snapping them apart. his raven black hair was all messed up and in his face.

"what the fuck was that shit furball in my office. sure, its kinda cute but now i have to vacuum again!" jihoon yelled angrily, joshua and cheol slowly going up the stairs, slightly scared of jihoon. of course, no one wants to deal with an angry jihoon.

"the cat has its own life! i don't control it! i took it in because it was a stray, and i have a soft spot for cats. the cat was just being a cat!" i began to argue with jihoon, feeling safer because jeonghan still held the ice pack in place, and if jihoon started to attack me, he would jump in action. 

"that doesn't mean you should let it go! keep it in your filthy hands! its your responsibility and you should be taking control of it!" hoon said, placing his headphones onto his neck.

"sometimes you just need to let cats roam free. its quite hard stopping them in their path. domesticated cats ca-" i tried to explain to jihoon, but he quickly cut me off.

"blah blah blah. im going to bed now. keep that cat away from my room or your dead." jihoon said, storming off to his room, his tiny feet slamming against the hardwood floor.

"jihoon-ah, he's a hot-headed cat himself. he himself can be too much." hannie said, taking away the ice pack from my face. he got up and put the ice pack into the freezer, and took a tissue from the tissue box. he walked back over to me and gently dried the residue the icepack left on my face.

"hao, are you ready to see your room that we have for you?" cheol asked, his small head peeking out of the staircase door. his eyes scanned the room for an angry jihoon, sighing in relief to find not a sign of him.

i nodded as i gently carried the cat in my arms like an infant in my right arm and the bag filled with the items that i received from the pet store. i slowly walked up the stairs, following seungcheol. the persian slowly squirmed in my arms, trying to get comfortable. cheol opened the door for me, as the cat flew out of my arms. the cat walked around the room as i was visually pleased by the room. the floor was a soft green carpet with no visible flaws. the room contained a cream colored bed and a small birch wood dresser.

TIME CHECK
11:07

the cat snuggled into my calf as i set the plastic bag down. i took everything out of the bag and set the food and water bowls down. i ripped open the sack of cat food, causing some pellets to fly across the room. i'll just let the persian clean that up. i poured the food pellets into one bowl and picked up the other empty bowl. i tiptoed downstairs heading over to the kitchen. i filled up the bowl with filtered, clean water and headed back up the stairs.

i tried my best to not to spill the water onto the hardwood floor as i traipsed back to my room. i carefully placed the water bowl next to the food bowl. as i looked towards the bag, i saw the cat dragging the cat bed out of the plastic bag. i quickly helped the cat and pulled the bed, placing it near my bed. i took all the toys out that the pet store gave me and quickly washed it and sanitized it before the cat played with it.

i put the bag aside and sat down to see the cat eat, making sure it regains its energy from being a stray. the cat just plops onto it's stomach, staring back at me. i crawled over to the food bowl and tried to hand-feed the cat. (dont worry, his hands were squeaky clean. always clean your hands before and after feeding an animal, kids.) the fluff ball just sniffed my hand and quickly became uninterested. as the cat skipped away from my hand, i just decided to play along.

the cat quickly came back, but not for the food or the water. the cat pulled on my sleeve with its sharp canines, yet not sharp enough to rip the thin clothing. i let out a small giggle and started to play with the cat. the small cat pounced onto me with its paws in excitement. i gave the persian a smile and grabbed its paws and danced with the small framed cat.

"alright. time to go to bed. gotta give you a shower, making sure you are tick free." i said to the rosewood cat, petting its thick locks of fur. i slowly lifted the cat up and placed it into the lace pink colored bed. i sulked over to my bed, quickly burrowing into the soft blanket.

TIME CHECK
12:05

then, i felt the cat hop onto my bed making its way towards my face. i sat up and tried to put the cat back into the cat bed. the cycle repeated until i finally gave up and let the furball sleep with me on my bed. i turned my body facing towards the porcelain ceiling, the cat slowly crawling onto my belly. the persian quickly fell asleep with ease with my presence with him. i wrapped my thin arms around the cat's torso, hugging the cat softly.
