thinking about it, one month with a cat wouldn't be this difficult, would it?


well, it was only the second day, and mark was on the verge of mental breakdown.


"haechan!" he yelled running behind the white cat that had become brown.

it had rained again and mark had, unintentionally, let a window opened and haechan had jumped out to play in the mud. so, here was mark, trying to catch haechan to bathe him.

"not the couch! haechan! get down!" mark screamed when he saw the cat jumping on the sofa, dirtying it.

"i'm going to kill this cat..."

mark looked at the cat who was teasingly jumping over the couch with his dirty paws and launched himself on it pressing the animal against his chest.

"i got you troublemaker!" mark said in victory, not caring about the cat's claws that were sunk in his arm.

he headed to the bathroom and locked the door to make sure the cat wouldn't escape before opening the water tap in the bathtub, still holding the cat firmly despite its mewls.


when the water was at the right temperature, mark fixed the shower head to its hook on the wall and aimed it at the middle of the tub. mark then put the cat here who immediately started jumping around.

"haechan! stop moving!" he said, holding the cat in place.

mark used one of his hands to uncap his shampoo bottle. as he had forgotten to take haechan's shampoo, he had decided to use his own, it was the same, wasn't it? there were hairs after all.

he massaged the cat's fur gently, the brownish colour of the mud disappearing to be replaced by haechan's original white fur. however, the cat hadn't stopped wiggling, splashing water around, angering mark a lot because he would have to clean up after.

"can't you stay still for once?" he groaned.

haechan kept squirming, and he did it with such force that he pulled mark with him inside the bathtub.


so, mark was now laying all clothed, in the bathtub, just under the shower, and the cat was still in his hands, on his chest, looking at him with his head tilted and those curious brown orbs of his.

mark blinked before understanding what had happened.

"how can such a small thing create such disasters..." he sighed. "anyway. let's rinse you off."

mark sat down, putting the cat on his lap and rinsed him, making sure there was no trace of mud left and that he smelt good.

then, he picked a towel and engulfed the cat in it, drying it carefully. after a few minutes, he put the cat on the closed toilet seat, still in his towel.

"stay here for a minute, now that i'm wet, i'll have a shower." mark told, taking his clothes off and putting them on the drying rack.

he slipped inside the shower and turned the water on, sighing at the pleasant feeling of the hot water against his body, completely oblivious about the fact that the white cat was obeying him and totally checking him out.


mark got out after an instant and wrapped a towel around his lower body, furrowing his brows when he saw the cat.

"you obeyed me?" he said surprised.

mark shrugged and unlocked the bathroom door before heading to his own room as the cat ran past him. mark entered his bedroom to find haechan snuggled on his bed.

"your basket is in renjun's room haechan." mark said, pointing at the other side of the corridor before yawning

today had been a rough day. he had been busy running after haechan the whole time, he hadn't even had a single second for himself. he was probably going to sleep without having dinner, he didn't have the strength to prepare anything...

mark picked his pyjamas and put them on, feeling instantly comfortable and ready to sleep.

however, he decided to go to the kitchen and find something to eat. renjun would kill him if he didn't feed his cat...


the white cat followed mark to the kitchen as mark prepared its food and placed it in haechan's bowl.

the cat started to eat instantly, his tail swaying from left to right in happiness.


mark smiled at the  sight and decided to look for something to eat for himself as he was already here. he opened the fridge only to be met by a very sad sight. an almost empty fridge.

he would need to go to the grocery store tomorrow... one thing more he would have to do.


he would also need to clean his house because he could see the paws of haechan absolutely everywhere and that was making him crazy...

mark yawned again, reopening the fridge to see if something more interesting had appeared, but to his dismay, it wasn't the case.


"meow." haechan rubbed his soft and clean body against mark's leg, his tail touching his knee, ticking the human.

"yeah, i know, that sucks." mark mumbled, yawning again.


mark decided not to eat, but, as he was thirsty, he took the almost empty milk bottle out of the fridge, and closed it.

"i'm going to bed..." he said with a nth yawn.


walking to his room, mark took a sip of milk, enjoying its taste. it wasn't usually something you drank before going to bed, but mark liked milk and drank some whatever the time of the day. it was his favourite drink. trust me, if you could order milk at the restaurant, he would.


mark sat on his bed to finish the bottle.

"oh, i need to brush my teeth..." he groaned, letting himself fall on his back. "i'll go in five minutes." he said throwing the bottle aiming the bin of his room, missing it by centimetres.


and with that said, mark didn't even bother wiping the milk dripping from the corner of his mouth because he had already fallen asleep on top of his covers.


haechan, who was following him, however didn't miss to see this very tempting droplet of tasty milk. he jumped on the bed with much agility and licked the corner of the boy's mouth, tasting the new flavour.

so, that was milk? it was rather good. haechan would surely ask for some more...


benefiting that mark was sleeping and so could not yell at him, haechan settled comfortably on his stomach to rest before falling asleep as well. mark was a very comfortable place to be...
