Calm Days
I'm Not Alone AnymoreSowon 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.
