"Oh my god." Yerin couldn't stop herself from letting out a small bit of laughter at the sight in front of her. The sound was quickly responded to by Yewon's own giggle and smile, the younger girl clearly enjoying the situation.

In Yewon's lap, Eunha was purring loudly as she clung to the girl's body tightly with her arms and hands, her cat tail swishing back and forth contently. Next to the pair, Yuju was doing the same to Sojung, purring just as loud as she nuzzled her cheek against the taller girl's affectionately. Sojung was smiling, switching between rubbing Yuju's back and running a hand through the cat hybrid's long hair. 

  When Yewon and Sojung had arrived earlier, Eunha and Yuju had barely allowed them to walk through the door before basically tackling both of them. It had been hilarious to see but SinB had run off to hide the moment she spotted the two, dampening the mood slightly. Yerin had left for a moment to find her and found the cat hybrid bundled up under the blankets on the bed. Yerin spent a good amount of time comforting her before returning to the others. Hopefully SinB would come around and be open to interacting with Sojung and Yewon in a few hours. 

The sound of Yuju's grumbling brought Yerin out of her thoughts, the long haired cat hybrid refusing to remove herself off of Sojung's lap even though the taller girl was attempting to get up.

"Yuju." Sojung said with a laugh, still rubbing Yuju's back. "Yuju, I need to help Yerin get dinner together."

"No." Yuju grumbled again, making no move to let go. 

"Yuju." Yerin had joined the situation now, petting the cat hybrid's soft cat ears soothingly. "Let Sojung get up, okay?"

Yuju let out a huff but finally loosened her grip on the taller girl, allowing Sojung to get to her feet. Before Sojung could move away, however, Yuju was already gripping at her hand, standing up with her in order to follow Sojung to where ever she was going. Sojung smiled warmly, patting Yuju's head with her free hand before making her way to the kitchen with the cat hybrid happily following along. 

"Do you need me to help too, Yerin?" Yewon asked sweetly, her hand absentmindedly running through Eunha's short hair as the clingy cat hybrid nuzzled her face into her neck with another purr.

"It's okay, Yewon." Yerin waved her hand dismissively, smiling the entire time. "We can handle it. Besides, I'm sure Eunha would put up even more of a fight than Yuju if you got up."

Yewon nodded before shifting her focus back to the still loudly purring Eunha in her lap, placing a small kiss against the cat hybrid's head. 

Yerin was quick to join Sojung and Yuju in the kitchen, helping the older girl get everything set up and get the ingredients for dinner out of the containers that Sojung had brought along in a large bag. Dinner was coming along smoothly now, Sojung taking over the cooking mainly while Yuju clung to her side, the cat hybrid asking questions about what the older girl was making and other random things that came to her mind every so often. Yerin was about to insist that she help out more until something moving in the background just out of her field of vision caught her eye.

Turning her head, Yerin spotted SinB peeking her head out from behind the open bedroom door. The smell of food must have peaked her curiosity about the whole situation. Not wanting to scare the hybrid off, Yerin slowly walked out of the kitchen and approached the nervous SinB. SinB froze up at first but relaxed once Yerin's hand was rubbing her back, maneuvering herself over so she could properly be in Yerin's arms.

"Are you okay?" Yerin asked. SinB only whined quietly in response, pulling Yerin's arms tighter around her.

"Do you want to try and join everybody now?" Yerin asked, testing the waters. SinB didn't respond but her cat ears gave away what she was feeling, flattening against her head as the cat hybrid glanced over at Yewon and Eunha on the couch with frightened eyes. The two didn't seem to notice, Yewon clearly distracted by how cute Eunha was being.

"You can stay in my arms the entire time if you want." Yerin continued. "They're both going to be here until tomorrow afternoon so you have plenty of time to get used to them this time than last time. So can you try your best? For me?"

SinB was still quiet but the feeling of the cat hybrid nodding against her immediately brought relief to Yerin's mind. At least SinB was willing to try. 

"SinB?" Sojung and Yuju were in front of the two now, Sojung's voice low in order to not spook the other cat hybrid. SinB's body immediately tensed up at the taller girl's voice, burying her face into Yerin's shoulder in order to try and hide again. Yuju had finally left Sojung's side to join Eunha on Yewon's lap, the younger girl laughing happily in the background as both Yuju and Eunha cuddled and purred against her.

"Dinner is almost ready." Sojung said, glancing back at the still cooking ingredients before focusing back on the two. "Yerin told me that you really like meat so I made sure to bring a lot." 

Slowly, SinB turned her head to make eye contract with the taller girl, Yerin's arms still wrapped around her. Sojung smiled gently, reaching out to ruffle SinB's cat ears and dark brown hair before making her way back into the kitchen to finish what she was cooking. SinB seemed conflicted on how to react to the touch and Yerin couldn't help but laugh. Out of all of the cat hybrids, SinB was definitely the most food motivated. When the three cat hybrids had shifted permanently into their semi-human forms, SinB was only able to warm up to Yerin properly when she had given her food for the first time. It was only then that SinB had grown attached to Yerin and allowed her to take care of her. It was looking like the same thing might happen today.

"Come on." Yerin said as she pressed a small kiss against SinB's head. "Let's join the others on the couch, alright?"

SinB let out a small whine in protest but stayed attached to Yerin even so, the hybrid's cat ears flattening nervously against her head as Yerin guided her over to the couch to sit down. Yewon's attention was on Yuju and Eunha but at the feeling of the couch moving slightly, the younger girl glanced up. SinB's body tensed up yet again, the hybrid shifting onto Yerin's lap and making herself comfortable while making eye contact with Yewon. 

"Hey, SinB." Yewon smiled. Eunha and Yuju were still purring loudly, not minding the slight movement or sound of Yewon talking again.

SinB didn't respond. Yewon tilted her head curiously, her gaze not letting up. Slowly, SinB turned around in Yerin's lap so her back was facing Yewon, curling up against Yerin's body for protection. SinB's ears were still flat against her head and Yerin sighed. So much for her warming up right away. But at least she wasn't hiding in the bedroom anymore. It was a start. A shaky one but a start none the less. 

"What's wrong, SinB?" Eunha had finally noticed her friend's behavior, the short haired hybrid moving off of Yewon's lap in order to get to SinB's side to check up on her. SinB growled but it was weaker than her normal growls of irritation. Eunha noticed before even Yerin could, making sure to nuzzle her cheek against the back of SinB's head. SinB whined but the sound died out in as Eunha started to purr in order to sooth her. It seemed to be working, the tension in SinB's body easing up. How sweet.

"I promise I'm not going to hurt you." Yewon spoke again, reaching out to touch SinB's head while Yuju left her lap to join Sojung in the kitchen again. The second Yewon's hand made contact with SinB's head, the cat hybrid froze, Eunha's purring continuing but louder this time. Yerin remained quiet. If SinB was going to warm up to Yewon and Sojung, she would have to let everything play out the way that it was supposed to. If SinB reacted really badly, though, Yerin knew plenty of ways to calm her down. It wouldn't be the first time, after all.

"See?" Yewon's hand was on top of SinB's head now, rubbing back and forth against pretty dark brown hair and soft cat ears. "I'm not here to hurt you, SinB."

Yerin silently in an anxious breath, ready to jump into action if SinB panicked. SinB was quiet, Eunha still leaned against her back while purring. It seemed like she was going to keep being scared until another new sound entered the air. 

SinB....was purring. Not loudly as Eunha and barely enough to be heard properly but she was still purring. Yerin could feel the vibration of it as well against her chest, SinB still nuzzled against her body firmly. What a relief. Yerin let go of the breath she had been holding, rubbing the quietly purring SinB's back slowly as Yewon continued to run her fingers through SinB's soft hair and against the short fur on the hybrid's cat ears. 

"Dinner is ready." Sojung's voice called out and Eunha's cat ears were the first to perk up. In a flash, Eunha was moving away from SinB and practically running to the kitchen table. Yewon let out a cute laugh before finally removing her hand from SinB's hair in order to follow after the excited Eunha. At the lack of touch, SinB turned her head, watching both Eunha and Yewon situate themselves at the kitchen table with Yuju. She was still slightly purring and Yerin could feel SinB's body start to relax, the hybrid's cat tail flicking around behind her as the dinner that Sojung had made came into view. 

"Hungry?" Yerin asked with a teasing tone, lightly pinching SinB's cheek with her index finger and thumb. SinB grumbled for a moment before leaning against Yerin again, her eyes shifting over to stare at Sojung's face for a few seconds. Yerin could only chuckle, ruffling SinB's hair before helping her to her feet again. SinB still looked nervous as Yerin sat her down at the table with the others but at the same time, there was more curiosity than anxiousness showing in SinB's eyes now. Sojung was SinB's main focus, the stubborn cat hybrid watching the older girl fill a plate with food before it was placed in front of her. SinB glanced down at her share of the food before staring back up at Sojung, her cat ears twitching for a second. 

"Aren't you hungry?" Sojung asked, seeming concerned that SinB hadn't immediately started devouring her meal like Eunha and Yuju currently were. SinB didn't respond, her gaze unwavering. It's as if she was still deciding on how to react to the taller girl. Sojung took SinB's chopsticks off of her plate and picked up a piece of cooked meat with them, holding it out in front of the cat hybrid's mouth. SinB's cat ears instantly perked up just like Eunha's had at the smell. Cautiously, SinB leaned forward and allowed Sojung to feed her, chewing down on the meat hungrily. Sojung remained quiet as well, taking another piece of meat and holding it out for SinB to eat again. SinB was quick to chomp down on it this time, her eyes shining as the flavor spread through . 

SinB seemed to be comfortable now, maybe she could finally take this risk. It was worth a shot. Slowly, Sojung reached out, placing her hand on top of SinB's head while the hybrid chewed on another piece of food. Yerin was watching from the seat next to SinB's, examining the girl's face and cat ears for any sort of bad reaction. There was none. SinB lifted her head to look up at Sojung curiously again and Sojung smiled in response. Carefully, Sojung started to do what Yewon had been doing earlier, brushing her hand against SinB's soft cat ears before trailing her fingers through SinB's shoulder length hair. SinB continued to stare at Sojung but eventually her head lowered back down, allowing Sojung to continue what she was doing while grabbing her chopsticks back so she could continue to eat her meal. 

"So cute." Sojung whispered out, smiling as she kept up the motion of running her hand and fingers through SinB's hair. SinB still wasn't talking but the sound of her purring loudly entering the air said more about how the cat hybrid was feeling than actual words ever could. SinB even started to lean into the touch as she ate, allowing Sojung to continue her affection as long as she wanted to. 

After a few more minutes, Sojung finally stopped what she was doing to eat her own dinner. A pout instantly formed on SinB's face as her purring slowed to a stop and Yerin couldn't help but laugh, trying to keep the sound quiet by covering with her hand. How funny. SinB had been terrified of Sojung when she had first visited but here she was, pouting at the taller girl like a little kid just because she had stopped giving her affection so she could eat. 

"Come on. Finish your dinner." Sojung responded, almost sounding like a mother as she pointed to SinB's own unfinished plate of food. SinB huffed but obeyed, taking her chopsticks in her hand again and resuming her eating. Yerin took the moment to rub SinB's back proudly, placing a small kiss against the side of SinB's head. 

The energy in the apartment had totally changed after dinner had been finished and the dishes washed and put away. Since Sojung and Yewon were staying the night, the two took a few moments to change into their pajamas in order to remain comfortable for the rest of the night. Both Eunha and Yuju waited patently on the couch, wat
