Chapter two
Jimin woke up for the second time that morning to find Yoongi gone and the door closed. He again didn't know how the door had moved. Jimin started to panic. But before he completely started freaking out he realised that he could just go look for the furball that he had grown to love over the past 13 hours or so.
He had often seen the cat staring out the window from his neighbour's house and had always liked the look of him. And now Yoongi was his! Jimin was excited as he got distracted in his own thoughts before remembering he had to find the cat.
Jimin leapt downstairs two at a time and started looking for Yoongi. He realised he forgot to lock the front door overnight and immediately thought the worst, crying out in fear. Jimin collapsed on the floor with all hope abandoned.
As he was crying he felt something tickle his foot, then he felt a weird sensation on his arm. He looked to his side to see Yoongi licking his arm gently while his tail was stroking Jimin's leg as it waved. "Yoongi! Oh my goodness, I thought I had lost you! I was so worried!" He grabbed Yoongi who was scared by the sudden outburst before wriggling out of Jimin's hold and jumping onto his back and curling up into a ball.
Jimin adjusted himself so that he could lay flat on his stomach and be more comfortable. He noticed that Yoongi had started purring softly. Jimin glanced over his shoulder and looked at the ball of fluff. Yoongi had one eye open and was staring straight back at him.
Jimin was starting to get a little creeped out. Every time he looked at the cat, it was staring at him. Jimin knew that Yoongi couldn't do much harm. After all, he was just a tiny cat! About 1/8th of his size.
Jimin started to get cramps and realised he had to get up off the floor. He stood up forgetting Yoongi was on his back. He had gotten so used to the weight that he didn't feel it anymore.I
Yoongi noticed that he had been tipped from his warm sleeping spot and meowed sadly at the loss of comfort. It was something he wasn't used to but he craved it. He craved Jimin's attention.
Jimin was making breakfast for the pair of them and Yoongi had jumped onto the side. Jimin just smiled at him.
Yoongi was never allowed to go on any surfaces except the floor in his old house so this made him more than happy. He flapped his tail as he watched Jimin open a tin of sardines.
Yoongi licked his lip at the thought of the fish entering his mouth. The second Jimin placed the food in front of him he started eating. He mewled from enjoyment as the fish slid down his throat.
When he finished eating, he noticed Jimin had left the kitchen. He sniffed around trying to catch Jimin's scent. The problem was, they were in Jimin's house so everything smelt of him. Yoongi hissed in frustration to himself as he leapt onto the floor.
After a while of searching, Yoongi found Jimin on his computer. Yoongi meowed to get Jimin's attention. Jimin glanced at him then looked back at the screen. "Can't talk Yoongi, Jimin is busy working and he is on a roll so find something else to do. Your stuff is coming later today so you'll have to entertain yourself for now." Yoongi jumped onto Jimin's lap and started to walk in circles to curl into a ball.
He made extra sure to show Jimin that he was annoyed. Suddenly Jimin shouted and lurched forward while his hands found their way to grasp the place in between his legs.
Yoongi looked at him and tilted his head, his tail waving gently. "You stood on my privates!" Jimin squeaked, trying to gasp for air. Yoongi felt satisfied with himself and jumped off of Jimin's lap to find somewhere else to lie down.
He had shown his human that he was annoyed that they couldn't cuddle so he was happy and fell asleep immediately.
He woke up to hands gently poking his side. He growled at the contact, got up and stretched.
Yoongi looked up to see Jimin. He had fallen asleep on top of the coffee table in the living room. He liked it there, he decided, it wasn't too hot or too cold.
"It's 09:00a.m Let's go for a walk!" Jimin beamed at the cat. "I feel like a walk!" Yoongi hissed at the idea of having to move but Jimin just laughed, scooped him up and walked to the door. He swung it open and began to walk down the path, still carrying his new pet cat.
Jimin had decided to walk around the roads, he had never seen Yoongi outside the house and thought that he would appreciate the fresh air and view.
Jimin also wanted a change of scenery from his own house. He looked down to see the cat asleep in his arms. Remembering that he had to go to work soon; he headed back towards his home.
As he got closer to his house, his neighbour's front door slammed open revealing an angry face. "That thing shouldn't be outside!" He yelled. Jimin flinched at the sound while Yoongi jumped awake and started to quietly growl at the sight of his old owner.
"He's my cat now, I can do what I want with him." Jimin retorted, trying to build up his confidence.
"It's not normal. I'm warning you! It's a freak. You should get rid of it while you have the chance. Just like I did!" Yoongi stopped growling and cuddled closer to Jimin, his head was hung low.
"Sir, Yoongi is a perfectly normal cat. There is nothing wrong with him being outside. It's not like he's some weird alien or cross-species. So stop being so cruel." Jimin was starting to get really frustrated with his neighbour. Yoongi flinched at Jimin's sudden outburst, he felt sad inside.
"If only you knew the half of it!" the old man muttered.
"What was that?" Jimin asked he couldn't hear what the man said as he'd spoken too quietly.
"It's not my problem anymore, keep it."
"It is a he, sir and he, has a name. So use it." Jimin turned and carried on walking, stroking his pet and sighed.
"What are we going to do with you?" The cat meowed sadly in response and closed his eyes.
Jimin had finished getting his work clothes on just as the doorbell rang. He grabbed his bag and bounced downstairs.
He opened the door to see the delivery man with three large boxes. Jimin grinned and took them inside, he signed for the delivery and closed the door, looking at the new packages.
"Yoongi! Yoongi, your stuff is here!!" He yelled and surprisingly, the cat ran into the room.
Jimin opened the boxes and took out a large scratching post. He went and placed it next to his computer.
Next, he put Yoongi's bed in his own bedroom and then placed the litter box by the back door.
Then he got out the toys and threw one so it would land in front of Yoongi who just looked at it with his head tilted to the side. He had never seen a cat toy before.
"Play with it!" Jimin encouraged. Yoongi looked at Jimin and then back at the toy before pouncing on it once and walking away. "Wow. Laziest and most money-wasting cat to ever exist! Poor Jimin. You know I feel sorry for this guy, he's gonna go broke!" Jimin said to no one.
He unwrapped the cat food and opened one of the pouches. The second it was tipped into Yoongi's bowl, he was in the kitchen next to Jimin with his tail wagging and mewling loudly.
Jimin left the kitchen and grabbed his bags ready to go to work when he heard a loud meow echoing from where Yoongi was.
Jimin ran back to the kitchen to see Yoongi looking at him, his food untouched. "Eat it then!" Jimin said laughing. The second the words left his mouth, Yoongi's head dived into the bowl. Jimin chuckled and left the house.
"Jiminie!" There was a loud shriek as his co-worker sped round the corner of the counter and launched himself onto Jimin, hugging him tight. Jimin worked at a small restaurant on the outskirts of his town.
"Hey Hoseokie. You okay?" Jimin asked.
"I'm great now you're here! Jin hyung asked us to watch the place while he's buying some more food for the customers." Hoseok explained as they walked back to behind the counter.
"Speaking of Jin, do you think he would let me take some leftovers home? I forgot to go shopping yesterday and I have an extra mouth to feed." Jimin said as he tied an apron around his waist.
"I'm sure he will if you ask. But why do you have another mouth to feed?? Do you finally have a girlfriend? Is one of your family staying?" Jimin prevented him asking more questions by shoving half of a croissant in Hoseok's mouth.
"I told you, I don't want any kind of relationship yet. My family are always busy or on holiday in America and the reason I have another mouth to feed is that I have a cat! I don't want him to always eat biscuits or pouches!" Hoseok's eyes lit up at the mention of the animal. He took the croissant out of his mouth and squealed in excitement.
"Oh my goodness, you do?! Is he cute? What's his name? When can I meet him?! What breed is he?!"
"Yes I do have a cat, that's...why I just told you. Yes he's cute but grumpy and really lazy. He's named Yoongi and he is a Maine Coon." Hoseok jumped up and down.
"What's going on?" There was a voice behind them.
"Jin, hyung! Our little Jiminie got a cat!!!" And so for the next 7 hours, Jimin contemplated suicide as the two grown men he worked with squealed like little girls and asked questions over his pet cat which was attracting customers' attention.
After a long, tiring day Jimin finally got home. He opened the door and noticed Yoongi's bed by the front door with Yoongi curled up inside asleep. "How did that get there?" Jimin questioned. He picked up the bed, with Yoongi still inside, and carried it back upstairs to his room.
He placed it on the floor by his bed and went back downstairs to heat up the leftovers that Jin had let him being home.
Jimin was chewing a lump of steak while wondering how the door and bed had opened and moved. His thoughts were disturbed by the sight of his cat on the table, trying to steal some of the food off his plate.
"Oi!" Jimin said, trying to sound annoyed, but grabbed Yoongi's bowl anyway and slid some food off his plate for the cat. Yoongi looked at Jimin thankfully before gracefully taking a bite of the steak. Soon, his instincts took over and he ate hungrily like there was no tomorrow.
Jimin looked at him in shock as he realised how sharp Yoongi's teeth were. When they had finished eating, Yoongi had jumped from the dining table onto one of the chairs and gone to sleep while Jimin had gone to take a shower.
Jimin had dried off and gone back downstairs to collect his cat who was hanging on to the dining table for dear life by his front paws. He scrabbled around with his back legs, trying to get up, before giving up and dangling off the edge, his front claws still gripping on. Jimin laughed at his cat who just glared at him before picking Yoongi up and carrying him upstairs.
Once they were in Jimin's room, he shut the door and set Yoongi down in his cat bed and then laid in his own. He had started to fall asleep when he felt something behind him. He jumped and turned around to see Yoongi laying there as well. "Yoongi! Your bed cost me £160!!! why do you have to use mine?!" He swore he heard the cat say 'swag' but thought nothing of it as he was tired and probably hallucinating. Besides, Yoongi was just a cat! He couldn't speak!
