Small Addition

Pet Life

Jongho silently watched as everyone slowly got their own pets. Sometimes he would pet the cat, other times he would mess with the fish, and from time to time he would even speak with the parrot. He would also find the chameleon in random places just like one time she blended in with Hongjoong’s hair. Jongho couldn’t stop laughing when she revealed herself and Hongjoong still didn’t notice it while trying to work on composing some more songs. Jongho started to feel slightly alone as everyone else had their own pet to take care of and he had nothing. Hongjoong had told him that he didn’t need to get a pet of any kind as there seemed to be enough of them running around the dorm already. However, against Hongjoong’s wishes, he started looking around some of the pet stores around town trying to look for something that was just right for him. Then, as he was beginning to slowly lose sight of this tiny dream, he noticed a small hamster in one of the glass cages on the shell. He smiled to himself as it was a black and white hamster that instantly came up close to the wall of the cage to look at Jongho walking by. Jongho smiled and couldn’t help but instantly pick this one. However, out of his impulsiveness he had forgotten that he had to get to dance practice soon and couldn’t get any of the supplies he needed just yet. He then had the small hamster in his jean jacket pocket, taking it with him to dance practice. He tried very hard to be careful not to let anyone notice that he had set the small hamster down in one of the more secluded areas of the practice room. As they took a break, Jongho went to the corner and took his water bottle out. He poured some water into the cap and set it down for his hamster to drink some of it as he started to drink some as well. Then suddenly, he was tapped on the shoulder by a curious San who gasped and giggled at the adorable hamster that Jongho was taking care of. “How cute! The maknae has a hamster now!” San blurted out. Jongho was about to deck him in the face but was stopped as Hongjoong came over. “A hamster? Well… make sure it stays away from Yeosang’s parrot,” he said, seemingly unphased. Jongho tilted his head and asked, “You’re not mad at me hyung?” Hongjoong laughed and shook his head. “Of course I’m not mad. Though, I am slightly uncomfortable you brought it to practice since one of us could easily step on it,” he explained with a comforting smile. Yunho tilted his head at the hamster and asked, “What did you name it?” Jongho thought for a moment and smiled as he responded, “Nugget. Because it’s small like one.” The rest of the members laughed at the silly name but Jongho felt proud of it and was happy that he could actually keep the hamster that he has now become attached to. When practice was over, he put Nugget in his pocket and when they were back at the dorm, he couldn’t help but take a nap as Nugget napped with him on top of his chest. Seonghwa secretly took a picture of this and showed it to the other members before posting it to twitter to see how ATINY would react to such a wholesome sight. Seonghwa also had to make sure that the kitten wouldn’t get hold of the sleeping hamster as well by shutting Jongho’s door silently to let them rest in peace.
