"Yes, of course that Moon Yujin, do we even know other ones?" Yujin could hear Jeno's voice from the living room. After the initial shock, the person he was talking with had been speaking nonstop, without letting Jeno say much in between. Although the volume had gone done so that she couldn't hear what the person on the other end of the line was saying.

"What are you speaking about, Renjun-ah, don't be stupid, I was - ", he was, once again, cut out by the other person.

"I told you already, I can't remember who it was", he managed to say after another couple of minutes. Yujin was listening so intently that she hadn't even noticed that her laptop had gone to sleep.

"I have some injuries but they're not - Jaemin-ah! Stop yelling at me!" Jeno's voice was getting tired. Apparently, the other end of the call was on speakerphone.

Yujin smiled to herself. Somehow it warmed her heart to hear how much his friends had worried about him. It was good to know that the guy had people who cared sincerely about him.

"No, she - she took me to the vet", Jeno admitted, now sounding like he was embarrassed. Yujin cringed, she hadn't thought about his feelings when she had taken him to the vet, she had just been worried about his wounds.

"I can hear that you're laughing, Donghyuck-ah and Lele", he was offended. "What else could she have done when I couldn't change back to human."

Yujin stood up quietly and peeked around the corner to see Jeno, who was still sitting on the couch, his head leaned against its back. His hand was covering his eyes and Yujin wondered if he was feeling sick. Maybe she should've prepared some porridge for him instead of a vegetable omelette.

"So, is any of the guys with driver's license there?" he asked after listening to his friends for a while.

"Yes, I know that you guys have your licenses. I meant that as in, is there anyone with a license and a car?" he corrected himself.

"Why did Taeyoung hyung go there? Why would I - Jaemin-ah, you're yelling again."

Yujin snickered quietly and Jeno turned to look at her. Their eyes met and Yujin mouthed an apology before pulling herself back to the kitchen. She had decided to let him have his phone call in peace so she should at least be more discreet about eavesdropping.

"All right, I'll ask for the address. Let me know how long it'll take for Taeyoung hyung or Kun hyung to get here", she heard Jeno say after some time. She hurried to the sink and started doing the dishes so that it wouldn't be quite so obvious how curious she was.

"Thanks for letting me use your phone." Jeno had left the couch and entered the kitchen. Yujin waved her hand in the air dismissively and he placed her phone on the table.

"No problem", she stated before glancing at his direction. He was leaning against the doorframe, and though there was already some colour on his face, he still seemed weak. "Did they promise to come and get you?"

Jeno pulled one of the chairs from the table and sat down. "Yes, but it'll take some time. Only Taeyoung hyung, Johnny hyung and Kun huyng own cars but Johnny hyung's at work and the other two are searching for me. I hope that it won't bother you if I'll stay here until they get back? It might take some time."

"Don't worry about it, I'm just happy that you'll get to go back home as a human", Yujin answered and threw Jeno a smile over her shoulder. "I'm working from home today so it's going to be a chill day anyway."

"I could help you with the dishes since you've already done so much for me!" Jeno promised suddenly, getting up from his chair.

Yujin turned off the tap before turning to glare at him. "Don't even think about it", she warned him. "You can barely stand, and I'm not letting you do anything until your friends fetch you. I don't want to be murdered by them, so you're not dying on me now."
