Passion From The Ones Above

1.3

"Ninja… baby, where are you?" Soyeon scanned the room and sighed. It shouldn't be hard to find a black cat in a pastel yellow room with the lights on. She'd checked under the bed, in the closet, and under the sheets, and the mischievous little cat was nowhere to be found.

"Soyeon-ah, come here! We have a visitor!"

Soyeon furrowed her eyebrows and headed towards her living room. She wasn't expecting anyone else to come over today.

"Who is this?" She eyed the taller woman.

The visitor was tan, with long black hair, and a very… noticeable bust to say the least.

The visitor cleared her throat. "I didn't mean to interrupt anything, I just came to pick Yongsun up."

Yongsun stood up and started walking toward the doorway, only for Shuhua and Miyeon to block her path. 

"Yong, who is this lady and where is she taking you?" The younger women glared at the visitor and then at Yongsun.

"She's the lady I told you girls about earlier… it would nice if you two weren't so nosey." Yong pushed the two women aside and smiled at the visitor. "Sorry about my friends, we can go now!"

The visitor shook her head. "No, it's fine, I think it's cute! No point in keeping me a secret! My name's Jessica, it's nice to meet you all."

"Are you a foreigner?" A tiny robotic voice spoke.

"Miyeon you can't just ask people if they're foreigners!" Soyeon snatched the little tablet from her friend.

"You weren't kidding when you said some of them didn't have a filter," Jessica laughed. "But yes, I'm a Korean-American. Please excuse my poor Korean skills; they're a little rusty."

"Your Korean is fine, Miyeon is just an asshat. Anyways, let's go!" Yongsun grabbed Jessica's hand and led her out of the apartment building.

"Strange woman…" Soyeon commented as she thrust Miyeon's tablet back into her hands. At that moment, a soft mew was heard and Ninja walked out of the kitchen, the kitten winding around Shuhua's legs as the young woman picked the kitten up and carried it like a baby.

"Hey… when did you get into the kitchen..?" Soyeon asked, eyes narrowing suspiciously as the kitten mewed in response.

"Maybe she walked in when none of us were looking." Miyeon's tablet said as Soyeon shook her head.

"Unlikely. None of us saw her walk out of my bedroom." She said as the cat scampered out of Shuhua's arms and leapt down onto the floor before batting at a lizard on the wall.

"Unless your cat can teleport or turn invisible, something is up." Shuhua said as Ninja leapt up, knocking the lizard off the wall and clamping her jaws around the reptile.

"Yeah… something is suspicious about that cat." Soyeon said as Ninja dropped the dead reptile at her feet and looked up at her.

"Hey… look at Ninja." Miyeon's tablet said as Soyeon rolled her eyes.

"Yes. We are all looking at Ninja, what's your point?"

"Ha ha. Very funny. Look at her eyes, they were amber last time weren't they?" Miyeon's tablet spoke once more as Soyeon squatted down and gently held the kitten's face in her hands.

"Why are they blue? Why are your eyes blue?" Soyeon asked as Ninja blinked at her.

Ninja rolled out on the floor signalling she wanted tummy rubs. She wiggled until Shuhua had finally caved in.

"Who knows, but this cat definitely isn't a normal cat. Soyeon, didn't you say the bus driver couldn't see it when you first found it?" Shuhua absentmindedly stroked Ninja's belly.

"Yea- Wait! What if I'm related to witches and Ninja is my familiar?"

Ninja suddenly stopped purring and the room fell silent.

"No? Okay."

"Ugh, Jessica you just don't understand. They act like I'm not the oldest one in the group!" Yong leaned her head against the older woman's shoulder. "They'd freak if they knew I was out drinking this late."

Jessica rubbed Yong's back. "Maybe it's not as bad as it seems. You're juggling an apprenticeship and therapy. I'm sure they just want you to recover with them, I mean it is group therapy after all."

Yong sighed and took a sip of her drink. "What made you all deep and thoughtful, huh? I came here to bitch and have fun!" She lightly elbowed Jessica.

Jessica chuckled. "Don't give me that, you started this! Plus, I really do care about you Yongddongie."

Yong stared into Jessica's eyes and Jessica stared right back. Maybe it was the alcohol or the weird music in the background that neither were really paying attention to, but there felt like that was something between them. That something was pulling them together, or trying to at least.

Jessica leaned away and chugged down her drink. "Anyways, maybe you just need to get away for a few days? I knew a few places we could go."

Yongsun deflated and leaned back. "We, as in…?"

"The two of us...just the two of us, or just you if you want! Totally fine either way!"

"Hmm, find a place and then we'll talk. Deal?"

"Deal!"
