Soojin was not a cat person. She didn't hate them, exactly, but she didn't like them, either. As far as she was concerned, she was a dog person, that´s it. Soojin and her girlfriend Shuhua had been working together at Neverland bakery for a few months, it was a good job that they could manage with their university classes, it was late at night and the bakery was already closed so Soojin went out to take out the trash, she put the bag in the trash can and was heading back to the store when

Meow

Soojin  looked down to see a kitten standing behind the garbage disposal, it was really small, covered in caked-on dirt and mewed softly at Soojin

-What are you doing here? Where's your mom?

Soojin looked for the kitten's mother but couldn't find it, the kitten just trembled and meowed

-What am I going to do now? I can't let Shu…

-Jin ah

-No no no

Soojin felt a tap on her shoulder, she sighed as she turned around to find Shuhua standing behind her smiling

-Why are you taking s… IS THAT A KITTEN?!

Shuhua crouched down slowly to not scar the little kitten away

-This thing was hiding near the dump

-Don´t call him that Jin ah

Shuhua stretched out her arm towards the kitten and the kitten sniffed her hand slowly

-The kitten don't have a collar on Jin ah… it´s just a baby

-NO! Absolutely not Yeh Shuhua

-But Jin ah

-You know I have allergies

-No you don’t

-It’s probably sick

-Maybe we could take him home just for tonight, please? He's so small and he's shivering from the cold and he must be hungry too

-Shuhua...

- Just for tonight Jin ah, tomorrow morning I'll take you to the veterinary clinic that Elkie works

Soojin was quiet for a moment and sighed.

-Fine! But this thing leaves tomorrow morning

Shuhua hugged her girlfriend quickly and bent down to take the kitten in her arms, the kitten only mewed softly as he rolled in Shuhua's arms as if trying to get comfortable

-Did you finish closing the bakery?

-Yes, we just need to get our bags and go home

Soojin went back inside the bakery to get their bags and they went towards their apartment, Shuhua returned home distracted by the kitten, she him gently behind the ears and he purred with satisfaction

-Jin ah

-Yeah?

-Could you buy some cat food at Mr Kim's shop?

-Shuhua...

-He needs to eat Jin ah

Soojin rolled her eyes but entered the shop next to their building, apparently luck was on the cat's side because she found a pack of cat food, she bought the cat food,  some Bento Boxes and kimbap too

-Kimbap?

-We need to eat too

As soon as they arrived at their apartment Shuhua grabbed two bowls, one for water and one for the cat food

-Shuhua, my bowls

Soojin whinned

-You have a collection of them

Shuhua put the bowls next to the kitten who ate a little as Shuhua started to pet him gently

-He stinks

-Jin ah! He can hear you! I'll give him a hot bath don't worry

-Don't you dare take one of our towels, get a cloth

-SOOJIN
