My brother ended up insisting that Jimin and Taehyung should leave and hang out at Jimin's apartment instead. Of course to not seem suspicious, they left. Jimin agreed that I will text him when Jin and Namjoon leave so that Tae can sneak back in.

I wave goodbye to Tae and Jimin as they leave. Once I walk back into my room, Jin is already sitting on my bed with a giddy smile.

I look at him weirdly. "What are you making that strange face for? Weirdo.."

He frowns. "Any face I make is a handsome face and you know it." He pouts before speaking again. "So how'd it go with dad?"

I freeze. I had forgot about that..

"I don't feel like talking about it now Jin."

"Oh come on.. it was that bad? I bet you're just being over dramatic again." Jin doubts. I shoot him a look.

"No, I'm not. And I said I don't want to talk about it so can you not right now?"

His frown deepens as he crosses his arms.

"I'm not leaving the room until you tell me. We don't hide things from each other Minseo. We made a deal-"

"-that you broke." I cut him off as I snap. His eyes widen. "Why didn't you tell me..? That dad disowned you.. I thought he accepted you Jin.. why did you lie?" I look at him, feeling left in the dark. Jin and I had agreed to be each other's stones after Mom died. We depended on each other and would never hide a secret..

Now that I think about it... both of us broke that promise.

"Minseo.. I didn't mean to lie to you.."

"Well you did. I'm really tired and I don't want to hear excuses at the moment.. just give me some time.."

Jin looks down and nods. He silently makes his way to the door and steps out. A few moments later I hear my apartment door open and close.

I guess he left with Namjoon..

I make my way out of my room to change into comfy clothes and get ready for bed.

Once I'm in bed, I turn over and sit in silence. I feel my eyes start to burn.

It's rare that I will ever show my emotions to another person.. so whenever I'm alone, I'll let myself go.

I fall asleep crying, hot tears staining my pillow.

Taehyung's POV

I open the door to Minseo's quiet apartment. Where is she?

Jimin didn't get a message from Minseo but he did spot Jin and Namjoon leaving so he sent me back. Hopefully they won't be coming back for the rest of the night..

"Mins-" I immediately cut myself off as I hear something from inside Minseo's room. I crack the door open, peeking in. I see her curled up in bed, tears escaping her closed eyes as she sniffles.

My heart aches.

On instinct, I step into the room to go to her but freeze when she shifts. I glance down at myself, holding my hands up to view. I'm not a cat anymore.. it would be weird if she found me laying with her..

I sigh and step out, quietly closing the door behind me. She is usually like this at least once a week when she is stressed out or feeling down. She doesn't speak to others about her problems which is why I was there as her comfort.

I want so badly to go in there and wipe her tears, to be able to calm her.. but I'm not sure how she will react to me doing that. There's an awkward tension between us now that I'm human again.. I'm her best friend that knows everything about her, but she knows barely anything about me.

I loved the feeling knowing that only I could be trusted with all her secrets. Now.. she has trouble even looking me in the eye..

Maybe.. just maybe.... I can build our relationship back to what it once was. I want to be the shoulder that she cries on.

Minseo's POV

I wake up once again to the loss of warmth that usually sleeps next to me.

My precious alien..

It's still hard to accept that my cat is gone but still here.. just in different form? Jesus, I sound insane. Might as well just say my cat was reincarnated.

As I'm standing at my bathroom mirror I scrunch up my nose at my reflection.

I look like a cherry cream puff.

My eyes are swollen, my face puffy and flushed. Nothing a little makeup can't fix.

Once taking a quick shower, getting dressed and all that jazz, I step out into the hallway.

I sigh and put some water on the stove for some tea.

What day is it anyways?

I glance at the calendar lazily but my attention turns to the man spread out on my couch.

My eyes widen as my eyes skim over where his shirt has ridden up his stomach.

No abs but still toned.. just a cute tummy.

I shake the weird thought out of head and stride over to the man. I pout as I see his uncomfortable expression.

"Tae." I call out quietly. He mumbles something and scrunches his nose in annoyance. I roll my eyes and bend down, my face close to his.

"Taehyung get up" I say slightly louder. His eyes flutter open and stare at me tiredly. "Go sleep in my bed."

He brings his hand up to rub his eyes. "Huh? Uh... right.. okay.. wait what?!" His eyes go wide at my request. I stand up straight and furrow my eyebrows.

"I said go sleep in my bed! I don't have a guest room yet and you're clearly not comfortable."

He blinks blankly before a dusting of pink shows up on his face.

"O-oh I thought you said- never mind. Thanks." He mutters quietly as he stands and shuffles to my room, avoiding my gaze.

"Weirdo..." I chuckle to myself. I then notice my water boiling over the pot's edge.

"Ah shoot-"
