I'm Not Alone Anymore

Sowon was woken up by the sensation of something laying on her chest, eyes fluttering open and wincing from the light of the morning sun. She couldn't believe it. 

Umji was sleeping on her chest, the kitten curled up into a fluffy ball.

Sowon took in a breath, trying to keep from making any noise. This was a rare opportunity and she was going to enjoy being close to the kitten for once. The former kittens, however, had a different idea. 

"Sowon!" Eunha called out as she ran to the couch that the blonde was sleeping on, waking Umji up with a jolt. Umji glanced at Sowon for a few seconds before climbing off and jumping down to the floor, trotting over to the storage room, that Sowon had converted to a bedroom, to try and get back to sleep. 

Another few days had passed since SinB had transformed back. The former black kitten suggested that she could sleep on the kitchen floor no problem but Sowon refused, taking the chance to finally go out and buy some extra beds. Now there were two beds in Sowon's room and two in the newly refurbished room off to the side of the bathroom. Everyone took turns on where they slept but Sowon had accidently fallen asleep in the living room watching television, her favorite group 'Sunrise' had been a guest on a late night show and Sowon wasn't about to miss it even if it went on late into the night. Though it wasn't a bad decision, Umji had slept with her after all. Even if she had only realized it for a short moment.

Coming back to the present, Sowon grunted as Eunha sat down on her, still groggy from waking up. Eunha was full of energy, showing Sowon an image of a hamburger on her phone. 

"Can we get this for lunch today, Sowon? Yerin said you got her one when she transformed back and I saw it too! I wanna try!"

"Are you sure you'll be able to even eat it?" SinB walked into the living room and smirked, leaning against the wall. "It looks bigger than you."

Eunha turned around and got off of Sowon, arms crossed in a pout. 

"I can eat it! I'm not that small anymore!" Eunha shot back and SinB only laughed.

"Whatever you say, shorty." 

"SinB, stop teasing Eunha." Yerin had appeared, patting Eunha's head. "It's not her fault that she turned out to be this height."

"Hey!"

Sowon could only softly chuckle to herself as she watched Eunha playfully punch Yerin in the side, SinB continuing her relentless teasing. She had been upset about losing the chance to bond with Umji more but it was fine. Being woken up like this wasn't so bad. 

"I can get you it. As long as everyone else is okay with burgers for lunch today." Sowon fixed her hair, stretching a bit to release the soreness in her shoulders. She really had fallen asleep in a weird position. 

"I don't mind." SinB shrugged and went back to her phone. Eunha was beyond excited, jumping up and down and clinging to Yerin the entire time. Yerin went along with it, smiling and exposing her eye smile that Sowon thought was the cutest thing ever. Yuju had finally made her way out of the bedroom, holding Umji in her arms. The brown striped kitten was fast asleep again, not minding the loudness of the house. She clearly had gotten used to it by now.

"Awww look at her!" Yerin cooed, moving to Yuju's side so she could the kitten's fur while pulling her phone out of her pocket. "She's so adorable! I need to get a picture!"

Yuju agreed and struck a pose with the tiny kitten in her arms, Yerin taking picture after picture and a few closeups of the sleeping baby cat's face. 

 

After breakfast had passed, Yerin had offered to clean the dishes this time. Sowon taught her how and Yerin cleared the task quickly like a pro. Umji had woken up and was eating her breakfast out of her bowl near the couch. She had shown so much progress recently but the fact that the kitten was still cautious around Sowon was strange. Yerin had been right, she was warming up but she still lacked trust in the taller. Hopefully it wouldn't be that much longer until that changed.

"So I was thinking," Sowon started, catching everyone's attention. "SinB hasn't gotten the chance to go outside yet."

SinB's head lifted at the sound of her name.

"How about we go somewhere today, SinB? I can't fit everyone in my car so two of you can stay home to watch Umji." 

"I wanna come!" Yerin yelled, waving her hand in the air from where she was laying sprawled out on the couch. 

"I don't mind staying home with Umji." Yuju responded.

"We can keep an eye on her while you're gone!" Eunha chimed in. "And we can call you if something happens!"

"Alright, I guess its settled." Sowon smiled, watching Yerin get up properly and run to put on her shoes. SinB pocketed her phone, already dressed. SinB seemed to be the only former kitten that didn't mind wearing clothes when she transformed back. It was almost unfair, everything looked good on the former black kitten. And Sowon had fun buying her new clothes to try on. 

 

SinB was cautious of the car but Yerin had calmed her down, explaining the seatbelts and helping SinB get settled in the back. Sowon turned the car on, making sure her phone was connected to the speakers and started to play a song. SinB immediately was interested, ignoring the talkative Yerin to listen to the melody. The former black kit

Chapter 4: It's so heartwarming of Yerin to be so concerned of spoiling her kittens with a deluxe box of kitten treats in addition to the essentials they already placed in the cart. I'm so glad Sojung's family is rich and the fact that Yerin didn't immediately put the box inside the cart without Sojung's approval. Although Yerin would likely have forgotten about money, still she's very respectful to Sojung who's being a provider to her and her kittens, it just makes me melt on how thoughtful Yerin is.

Oh that welcome of mews, it reminds me of my kitties - though they are full grown cats - still my kitties ^^ It warms my heart that Yerin and Sinb have such a healthy appetite. I'm glad that Yuju seems to be eating calmly and although Umji grabbed her chicken and made a run for it to eat in a secluded place, I'm glad she's eating. Eunha swiping at her bowl refusing to eat concerned me as well. I wonder what had prompted Eunha to not want to eat at that point since she was hungry since the night before, is it possible for you to elaborate Author? It just confuses me since I understand there are picky eaters but to the point of not eating reasonable food after more than 24 hours of not getting to eat just baffles me.

I love how Yerin uses the time away from Sojung - though reluctantly to spend time with the kittens and reminisce. Eunha refusing food from Yerin was again concerning, well, the sight of Sinb scarfing down the treat in her place made me smile a bit.

Eunha's transformation back to human really surprised when I first read this. I guess I was just as concerned as Sojung in wanting Eunha to eat so she doesn't get malnourished.

Chapter 3: I love Yerin and all but I somehow wished to have Sowon experience taking care of our ginger kitten longer. But that's okay, Memories (a continuation of I'm Not Alone Anymore) covers our ginger kitty's adventures with the rest of the pack, so thank you for that story as well.

It certainly is sweet of Yerin giving Sojung a nickname based on how grateful she is of Sojung responding to her cry for help.

The naming part was sweet, and although Sowon was just joking, her suggesting to name the black kitten was certainly funny even if it is to Sinb's annoyance.

Chapter 20: I love the story so much! You described each scene so effectively that I felt like I was really there. Each crying scene also made me cry. Thank you for this story! I couldn't quite get my mind off of it whenever I would pause reading. This was so amazing.

Chapter 2: I love the beginning of the chapter where it grounds you on what Sojung got herself into. It makes it all the more heartwarming that her main and even only concern, was just to get the kittens to a safe, warm and dry place to stay despite not knowing the first thing on caring for such small mammals. A brief insight on why she doesn't have that knowledge makes the mood somber until Sojung's attention shifts to the five kittens.

I love how you describe our energetic ginger kitten in all her cuteness as she attempts to get out of the box, and effectively tumble the rest of the kittens to the side to what I can imagine as the cutest squeaks. I love Sojung's observation of each kitten in their new environment despite internally panicking and being inadvertently attacked with a cereal box. I freaking love how Sojung got a bit of a payback when our ginger pinned our black kitty for grooming - despite her attempt to escape lol.

Our ginger certainly is adventurous in exploring new spaces and getting to know Sojung. That purr when she was tucked into bed certainly is satisfying, and I love Sojung's declaration of love for our ginger as her last thought before sleeping. The next morning was certainly a surprise, instead of finding a sleeping kitten, she awoke to a sleeping beauty.

I'll comment on the chapters one at a time once I have time next.
