Shit shit shit shit.

Seongwu wanted to chase after him. He really did, but he couldn't move. His body didn't listen. He needed to clear the misunderstanding. He just said that out of anger and realised that it was too late to take it back.

"Should I go after him? But what if I can't find him? He's a cat so he'll be fine, right?" Seongwu didn't know what to do. If he wasn't sane he would probably be plucking flowers.

"Stupid stupid!" He hit himself on the mouth.

He decided to wait, Niel would come home eventually, right?

He sat on his bed and waited. He kept staring at the door, not budging even a little.

As time goes by his eyelids got heavier, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Everything was white, it was as if he was in a box, him alone with nothing, no one.

He scanned the place eerily, scratching his nape. He tried to walk around, but there was no progress made, as if he was walking on the spot. He kept turning around, hoping to find something that could explain what was happening.

He squinted his eyes at a corner. There was a dot of green. He tried to walk closer to it and got slightly happy when the object appeared bigger. 

It was a pot of plant, correction, a fake plant. It looked super fake, extremely plastic-like.

"It's not real." A familiar voice appeared behind him.

Recognising it he turned around swiftly, smile appearing upon his face.

"Nothing is real." He disappeared.

He was there.

He was gone.

Or so Seongwu thought.

"Meow." He looked down and saw Niel, laying around on his feet, getting comfy. Niel looked extremely comfortable, satisfied.

But Seongwu wasn't.

"No no no no no..." He covered his ears and closed his eyes, hoping all would go away. He couldn't accept the fact that Niel was a cat again. He couldn't bear the thought of it, it was as if having a good dream but waking up to a nightmare.

Who would talk to me and tell me it's okay to tell him my problems? Who would wait for me to come home? Who would I see first thing in the morning, waking me up for work?

It was then Seongwu realised, how much Niel meant to him. Without 'human' Niel he was nothing but a depressed young man with no hopes or dreams.

He opened his eyes, slightly praying. He was in his room, standing in the kitchen. He looked around and stared at the window beside his bed. Niel, as a cat, was sitting there. Seongwoo, worried that Niel may fall off, got closer slowly. However the expected came. Niel jumped off the window.

"NO!" He ran to the bed/window but tripped over an object and fell onto his bed.

"GAHHH!" The sunlight hit his room through the floating curtains. 

"Hyung?" He looked down and found Niel sitting up straight on his mattress. 

"Holy shit Niel." He jumped off his bed and hugged him tightly, as if scared that he might lose him if he let go.

"Hyung what the hell?!" He pushed Seongwu away.

He stared at Niel, confused.

Niel stood up and stormed out of the room, forgetting the fact that he was wearing a t-shirt and shorts, going out which was 13 degrees Celsius.
