"felix you're...." felix nods and smiles.

"who are you?" he aims the gun at felix, but chan steps in front of him.

"dad do not shoot him, it's kind of.... complicated" chan says.

"how is it complicated huh?" he keeps the gun aimed.

"mom gave me a cat named felix, and well he somehow turned human when I wished on a shooting star, then he somehow turned back into a cat and now he's back to being a human" chan says and his dad looked confused.

"your mom gave you a cat!? where is she?" he steps into the house.

"she's not here" chan puts his hands behind his back and hands felix his phone.

"where is she then!?" he aims the gun at chan again.

"I don't know, she came to see me and left but she never came back"

"I'll find her alright. hey where's that boy?" he looks around and cop cars flood the house.

"what the hell!?" he looks outside and the police come running into the house.

he goes to shoot chan but he ducks and chan kicks him in the leg which makes him fall to the ground.

"you're coming with us" the cops arrest chan's dad and he gets taken away.

"you bastards! I'll be back for you" he looks at chan before he gets into the car and they drive away.

chan feels someone hug him from behind, and he chuckles.

"he's gone now don't worry" chan turns around and gives him a peck and he goes upstairs, felix follows him.

"what's gonna happen now?" felix asks as they enter chan's room.

"I don't know, but I have to get to the bottom of why you keep changing from a cat to a human" chan plops on his bed and felix lays next to him.

"can we just stay here all day?" felix cuddles him and chan kisses his forehead.

"how about we stay like this forever" chan smiles and felix nods.

there's a knock at the door, and chan gets up to get it, but when he turns around felix was a cat again.

"I'm getting to the bottom of this now" chan opens the door and it's his mom.

"look who decided to come" chan says and she sighs.

"chan please I'm sorry, when I came back here I saw your dad's car and I panicked" she says and he rolls his eyes.

"whatever I've got bigger things to worry about" he lets her in and he picks up felix and he sits on the sofa.

"what things?" she closes the door behind her.

"why felix keeps becoming a cat and then human" her eyes widen and she shakes it off.

"well... you said you wished upon a star right?" chan nods.

"maybe it's like one of those things where-"

"wait, do you think it has to do with dad? I mean ever since he came back into my life things have been strange for me" he looks at her and she shrugs.

I want to tell you

maybe I'll just show it

"I'll be right back" she gets up and leaves the house.

"mom where are you going?" he goes after her but then felix comes back to a human again.

he looks towards the door, then at felix, and he pauses.

"weird" chan sits in the sofa, then she comes back in, and felix turns into a cat again.

chan looks at felix, then at his mom, then does it again.

"you have something to do with this don't you?" he looks at his mom and she sighs and sits down next to to him.

"there's something I need to tell you"
