It was a peaceful morning inside the high school. There were few students outside to play sports at the schoolyard, while the other students were inside the classroom studying. While the teachers voices were being heard, there was someone who broke the silence.

"Choi Junhong, stay right there!"
"What kind of an idiot stops, when they are told to."

Again, because of Junhong the trouble maker, the lesson was held back as all the students ran towards the window and saw what was happening. 

Junhong had his empty bag on his back, and was about to sneak out of the classroom through the window, when he got caught by one of the teachers. The teacher stood there for a second, then got a long thick stick out of his folder, and started to chase Junhong. Argh, farout... I'm dead. Junhong backed up and ran as fast as he could from the teacher.

'You bastard!' The teacher called out for him, but Junhong didn't care at all that he just climped up the gate and jumped off. When the teacher lost him, he fixed his bag and walked slowly, while his hair was all messed up from running. ... ah, seriously I hate school where they lock me up. Junhong thought as he fixed his hair. 

"... huh?"

When he felt his phone vibrating inside his pocket, he stopped, saw the caller and then picked up the phone. Soon, Junhong's expression turned stiff  as he swore to the person on the line which didn't match his cute face. 'Yah, you . Do you want to die? Do you want me to put honey on your ing face and shove you inside the bee hive? If I see you later, you won't be able to live, you understand?' People who were walking passed him was staring at him, but when Junhong gave them the 'what are you looking' expression, they went back to their own way, as he angrily shoved his phone back into his pocket.

"Now... what am I suppose to do."

Because of his friend who postponed their outing to two hours later, Junhong who didn't have anywhere else to go, went to the nearest park. Junhong rarely go back to his place. He was also sleeping over his friends place, or hanging out the whole night that he only visit his house two days a week. Junhong sat on the bench, and crossed his legs as he looked up at the sky. Man, I should have stayed up till lunch to have the school meal. Junhong rolled his eyes. He decided to go to the nearest conveinience store to get something to eat and as he stood up from the bench...

"Meow..."
"... what the?"

Junhong heard something, more of an animal sound that he just stood still on the spot. What is it? Am I hearing things now? Or did I hear it wrong? Junhong picked his ears with his pinky finger, and was about to go, when he felt something scratching his shoes and was rubbing his legs, and when he looked down to see what it was, he made a face.

"A cat?"

It looked like a small baby kitten, just barely touching the tip of his shoes. Junhong stood still and looked at the kitten with blank expression on his face. The kitten who noticed Junhong looking, it looked up at Junhong and met eyes with him. For few seconds, they were both looking at eachother, until the kitten slowly closed its eyes and collapsed onto Junhong's shoes.

"Wh- what? Huh?!"

Junhong was dumbfounded for a second as he bent down to shake the kitten calling out, 'Hey! Hey!' but the kitten wouldn't move at all. Aish, what am I suppose to do now? Am I suppose to take this kitten to the vet? Is it dead already? Junhong scrunched his face as he thought about what to do with the kitten, looking to the sides to call for help but when he felt that something strange, he looked down at the kitten again with a horrified expression.

"Oh, my god..."

Junhong couldn't believe his eyes.

That small kitten was getting bigger and bigger and was turning into a human form, which he thought that his eyes were playing a trick on him, that he couldn't believe what was happening to him. When the small kitten, turned into a skinny human, with the ears disappearing, there was no kitten to be seen except for the human. Junhong with his already big eyes, looked at the boy shocked and as soon as he got back, he grabbed the boys shoulder and started to shake him up. 

"Yah! Yah! Wake up! Yah!"

***

"He has less nutrition, lack of sleep... wow, his condition is really bad right now."
"... really?"
"You should let him stay at the hospital for few days."

Where have he been all this time, having this bad condition? Junhong who heard what the doctor said, felt like his brain was going to explode soon. ... what happened all this time? Junhong was still in his thoughts as he looked at the boy sleeping. As usual, I skipped school and was sitting on the bench near the park... but...

What are you.

Junhong who thought that what happened earlier was amazing, he started to wake the boy up who used to be the kitten like before. Junhong would touch the boys hair to see if the ear had really disappeared or not, he would touch his skin to see if he can feel the fur as he also pinched the boys cheeks. He was doing that for awhile, as he stopped when he heard a sound coming out from the boy's mouth.

"ah..."
"hm? Hey? Are you awake?"

Junhong quickly took his hands away from the boy, and then the boy slowly opened his eyes. The boy seemed like he had a headache as he made a sound as he had his hands on his forehead. He was like that for a moment, until he realised where he was that he started to look around the place. It looked like the boy was shooting for a movie. When Junhong was just looking at the boy, they met eyes again, and the boys eyes got bigger and hit his knees as he remembered something.

"... you are the earthling that I saw at the park!"
"... what?"
"You are the earthling who sat on the bench! Right?!"

What is this kiddo talking about?

Junhong gave the boy a pathetic look. 'Eh? Earthling, why are you looking at me like that? Do I look weird...' the boy said as he started to touch his face. Junhong who saw him do that couldn't help but to laugh. As soon as he laughed, the boy said, 'Oh - you laughed?' and he started to laugh more louder than him. Junhong who felt embarrassed, made a straight face and fought back.

"What are you laughing at, kid."
"... kid?! I'm not a kid! Also, I am more older than you!"
"... don't lie."

Junhong couldn't believe what the boy just said. '... you are older than me? Don't ing lie to me. Oppa is asking you nicely, so tell me the truth, okay?' Junhong lowered his voice, as he threatened the boy which made the boy look at him with big watery eyes. 'What do you mean o-oppa?! Hah! You make no sense!' And as the boy got angry, his kitten ears popped up from his head. 'Argh! What is wrong with this?!' The boy was about to cry, trying to make his ears disappear again. ... seriously, what are you... before Junhong can ask, he decided to calm the boy first.

"Alright, alright. How old are you then?"
"Aish, I am 2560 years old!"
"... what?"
"I am over 2000."

... does humans still live in that age?

'Hahahahahahahahahaha!' Junhong who thought about that, couldn't help but to laugh out loud, holding his stomach and was hitting the bed. He then pinched the boys cheek and said, 'Really? Then you are like my ancestor? My ancestor, do you want this oppa to play with you?' When Junhong's teasing got further, the boy lips trembled as he silently cried to himself.

"... uh-oh."

'Eh? Ancestor, are you crying?' The boy ignored Junhong's word as he cried out loud. What the... what's with him? Junhong didn't know what to do with the crying boy. 'Ah, farout.' He didn't know what to do but to hug him and pat his back. 'Aish, let go! Let go off me!' When the boy tried to refuse, Junhong pulled him more closer and patted his back saying,

"Ah, why are you crying because of this, you're not a girl..."
"I don't know, I hate you."
"Ah, okay, okay. Oppa is sorry... okay? Now, stop crying."

'I'm not a girl...' Junhong let out a soft laugh as he heard him mumbling that word to himself, as he still had tears on his eyes. Aigoo... this cute kiddo. As soon as the boy stopped crying, and the hiccups dying down, Junhong let go of the hug, and smiled towards the boy.

"Oh, so you stopped crying now?"
"What ever."
"Alright, I said I'm sorry."
"But... even though I tell you my human age, I will still be older than you!"
"Human... age?"

Junhong who was about to smirk, couldn't. Eh? What does he mean by human age?

"So, that means you're not a human?"
"Yeah! I am here for the first time..."
"... what are you."

Junhong was dumbfounded looking at the boy. How could a cat turn into a human? How could a human wake up and treat you like he saw an alien? Calling me an earthling, also... how could his age be 2560 and can say that he have a human age? Everything seemed unreal and sounded ridiculous.
