Prologue
"Y/n. Find a job. I'm serious."
"But I love dancing, Jay. I can't lose time-"
"Then how the hell are you going to pay for all the bills, Y/n!"
"I h-have my income..."
"Pick pocketing!? Are you serious right now? We're breaking up."
"What!? No, Jay-"
The man left dramatically before Y/n could even reach out to him.
The door to the Cafe ringing vigorously as the male almost broke it down with his anger.
Beomgyu, her friend, was watching the whole scene unfolding in front of him but said nothing.
"You're free."
"Shut the f*ck up, Gyu. I'm going through the break up phase right now. I loved him..." her lips quivered as her eyes squinted and she looked down to her lap, as though if she prayed strong enough, he would come back.
"Alright," the boy sighed and slammed his coffee cup on the table before leaning in to imaginary smack his friend on the head, "you and I both know you wanted him OUT of your life, NOW WHY TF ARE YOU BEING SO DRAMATIC ABOUT IT OH MY GOD!"
"I just wanted company..."
The male looked at his friend with utter disappointment, too heavy for the world to handle.
"You want company?"
"Yes."
"We're going to an adoption centre. Right now."
Y/n's eyes sparkled with glitter as she looked at him with a bright smile which was a competition to the one that we know.
"Am I going to be a mother!"
"..."
"Sorry."
"We're getting you a pet. At least your ass will find a way to be responsible that way."
"Okay." She still had half of the smile that she had before they paid the cash to the Cafe and went out.
Y/n tripped on nothing but air and landed face first on the hard pavement. More than a dozen people acknowledged her great fall which made her embarrassed and wish that she married Satan right away.
"You okay? Whoa-!" Beomgyu exclaimed when he saw a poor innocent bug's carcass smashed all over her knee.
"Oh f*ck, I'm so sorry." They both had a disgusted face when he knelt down to clean it with a paper.
"Who are you sorry for, oh my gosh."
"...life goes on."
He gave her a poker face and got up again to continue their journey to the adoption centre.
It wasn't too far from the Cafe they had a small scene of break up in and they reached their humble destination in no time.
She entered the adoption centre, a pet shop collaboration and began squealing right away.
"Magic Mike Pet.co? Never heard of this one before." Beomgyu shrugged his shoulders and walked in anyway, only to find his friend embarrassing herself again by squealing and greeting each and every animal on sight.
"Hello little bunny! Hi duckies! Hello you squishy little thing of a puppy oh my God you look like a cloud! Hi Beomgyu! Hi little fishes aww...!" Beomgyu blinked precisely three times before turning right away on his heel to find the pet shop owner and talk to them.
"I'll be right back." He said to no one in specific because the girl was obviously pretty busy with the non human society in the area.
"Hello sir!" He waved to the back of the person bent down, busy watering the grass for the fish as he looked back to greet the customer.
"Yes?"
"We're here to a-adopt a p-pet..." Beomgyu began stuttering when the man was slowly rising up to his normal height.
"You're mighty..." the words accidentally slipped past his lips and he smacked his mouth shut.
The man gave him a look before saying, "follow me."
"Y/n. Stop touching that." He ran over to stop the crazy, lonely girl from petting a freaking hyena.
"B-but I-"
"So we're here to adopt a cat, sir."
"There are no cats here."
"Oh...um bunnies?"
"The last one died the day before yesterday."
Oh my God...ugh
"Alright then, what about that puppy?" Beomgyu pointed at the small fluffy creature that costed a fortune. But it seems to have liked Y/n the moment they met and she pet the small creature with her fingers from the cage.
It still cost a fortune.
"That's Bok Choi. 2 million won for adoption."
"Wha-" Beomgyu looked around in embarrassment.
"Sir. We have no money on us." He said and the duo showed him their empty pockets, pulling it out to emphasize the issue.
It only seemed to anger the mighty man.
"Uh oh..."
🐈
"Gyu. It's alright. But does it hurt a lot?"
"Oh no that doesn't hurt a dime, Y/n. Be serious for at least once in your life." He huffed dramatically while clutching the shoulder of his which was injured when he was practically thrown out of the pet shop, Y/n was only pushed outside and it was miraculous that he respected women a tad bit better than men.
"Sorry."
The walk continued in silence and it was the ass crack of dusk. The orange hues settled inside the expanse of the sky when the two friends were walking down to their apartment, enjoying the breeze of the evening.
You only live once, they say.
But some live the life nine times.
"...and I thought I was almost arrested when-" Y/n cut Beomgyu off mid speech of hus explanation of how he almost got punished by the judiciary when it wasn't even his fault to start with.
"Do you hear that!" She whispered, trying to relocate the sound of the soft purring.
"It looks like a couple of young kittens! I'm coming, my children! Wait for mama!"
Y/n ran to the sound, a few meters away into the next alley and she was right about the soft purring of kittens. Beomgyu was left in the middle of the pathway suddenly, but he somehow gained his consciousness back and ran after the crazy woman, reminding himself that his friend wasn't the least but wise to make her own decisions.
"Oh no, they're so little!" She exclaimed, bending down on the grave alley backside as he reached there.
"Y/n, these are too many kittens to handle. And I'm sure they have their owners because why would they be here if they were intended to be adopted? They would be on the open streets! Not behind a big...black...building..." he looked up to see the black building that he was talking about.
"Y-Y/n, we need to get out of here. This instant."
"But we-"
"I don't care. If you want those kittens, take them right now. I'll pay for child support. Just get up and we're leaving." He said, scaredly looking around to find any scarred faces or black clothed men.
"Alright. Lemme just." The kittens started screaming in just a while of her carrying the stinky box. The whole litter of kittens shook with the momentum of the shoe box as Beomgyu and Y/n ran across the street to get to the happy side of the road.
Beomgyu kind of had an idea about that building.
It was where his grandma said that they perform black magic and stuff beyond human abilities.
He gave the building one more stangre look before diverting his attention on the woman and the box full of seven tiny creatures.
He prays that the girl will at least find time and take responsibility of not only herself, but seven other lives in her apartment.
🐈
"S-sir...pardon me but I've only found foot prints of humans and dogs around the area. I'm n-not sure where the kittens have gone."
"I want them here. And I want them NOW!" The great bash that theur master gave to his throne scared everyone in sight. The black building was his residence.
"You will bring them to me. Or I will have each and everyone of your heads sacrificed to the greater evil."
"Y-yes, master."
He only got up from his throne, but the slaves of his physically flinched and then he twist his cloak around his body, disappearing into thin air and not leaving a trace of his presence.
At his absence, all the slaves turned back into hideous spiders and they crawled back to their den, suffering as ever and away from human touch.
