ONE

San picked up the last box to bring up to his apartment. He had just moved in after hearing loud rock music from his neighbor back in the apartment he used to live in. He tried filing for a noise complaint but it never got through and no matter how much he pleaded and begged, his neighbor continued to blast rock music at 2am.

He definitely could not afford losing sleep, not when he is just about to enter college knowing that it'll stress him the fuck out based on his friends who is already in college.

San zeroed in on a cat pacing in front of his door as he dropped the last box in front. He crouched down and showed his dimpled smile at the cat.

"Aren't you a pretty one." He commented as the cat purred and rubbed itself on San's ankles.

"Wooyoung!" A young male bursts out the door, just right next to San's apartment. He frantically looked around before his eyes settled on the cat that hisses at the male.

"Is this your cat?" San asked, standing up with the cat in his arms. The male nodded, shyly taking steps towards him.

"He got angry at me and the past neighbor-" he gestured towards the door where San is moving into, "-used to calm him down but now that they moved, he would go there." San nodded in understanding, trying to pass the cat but it hissed at the male, snuggling further on his chest.

"Wooyoung." The male frowned, his eyes casting down. "I'm really sorry for being inconvenient." He apologized to San.

"No, no. It's fine." He shrugged it off and lowered his gaze to the cat. "He won't leave though."

"Here, I'm going to grab him." The cat hissed again when the male stretched his arms towards the cat.

"Won't that be dangerous?" San worriedly looked between the cat and the male. "It looks like it's going to hurt you."

"It's fine." He mumbled quietly, finally taking a grab of the cat who scratched his arms with its sharp claws. "I'm used to getting hurt anyways." The cat looked up towards the face of the male, seeing tears rolling down his face after the cat had done a lot of damage that made his arms bleed.

"Shit, I told you-" The male shook his head, his fluffy curly brown hair bouncing on his head as he smiled brightly at San as if he's not even in pain.

"I told you, it's okay. It'll heal." The cat made a noise that sounded like a cry and buried itself on the male's chest, "See, all fine." San frowned, eyeing the wounds that had formed from the scratches that the cat had made.

"I should help you-"

"I don't want to be a burden. Besides, you're still moving in." He glanced at the boxes behind him, "This may be late to say since we had been conversing. But, I am Yeosang. Your friendly neighbor." The cat meowed, showing its head towards San, "This is Wooyoung, the bratty cat." San laughed at seeing the cat hiss at Yeosang but it sounds like it has no malice behind it unlike earlier.

"You should get that scratches treated," Yeosang nodded, waving goodbye at San before he and the cat entered their apartment. "What a weird way to meet." He muttered under his breath before continuing to move the box inside of his new apartment.
