47. I wanted to be a 'cat' not 'this'!

I heard Mago bark from right behind the door. That's right Mago it's your dad! Bring someone to open the door. "What is it Mago? Is there someone outside?", I heard Jiwoo's voice before he opened the door. He looked down at me and said, "Oh, my! It's a kitty!"

I decided to play along just to see how long it would take for them to notice. Lol!

My twin gently picked me up and carefully held me in his arms. "Are you new here? Wait... You're injured!" He shut the door and brought me inside with Mago happily following behind.

"Was that Eunwoo?", I heard Mr. Kayden ask as he and Mr. Kartein sat on the couches in their human form.

"No, it's a kitten. It's so fluffy. Ah... I think he injured his paw..."

"Let me see", Mr. Kartein said, taking me from Jiwoo. He inspected my paw and said, "His bone is cracked. It must be a lot of pain for a little fella."

I decided to blow my cover and said, "Yeah, it hurts so much that I want to cry."

"Did I just hear Eunwoo's voice?", Jiwoo asked.

Kayden mumbled, "Don't tell me..."

Kartein's eyes widened as he asked, "Is it you, kid?!"

"Yup!", I said.

"Did you not find any other cat instead of a kitten?!"

"I think you become the first cat you come across... But before that, can you please heal me? It hurts a lot."

The blond sighed but completely healed me in what seemed like 10 seconds. And asked, "How did you get hurt? Or was the cat already hurt?"

"No, when I was returning, some kids threw stones at me and chased me..."

"Why don't you turn back to human?", Kayden asked eyeing me.

I looked at him with teary eyes and let out, "I don't know how to... I tried to but I can't turn back..."

"That only means that you will have to stay as a cat forever", Kayden stated like it was not a big deal and Jiwoo and I gasped. "It's a joke kiddo", he said giggling while taking me from Kartein, "you'll be fine in some time. Is that why you didn't heal yourself earlier?"

"Yeah, I couldn't..."

"Don't ever joke again, you darn Pikachu!", Kartein stated angrily.

Jiwoo joined in saying, "But Eunwoo, you became such an adorable kitty. No one would ever doubt that you're a human!"

"Yeah, but what will this kitten eat now?", the blond questioned.

"I'm only a cat on the outside, you guys..."

Kayden ignored me and said, "Hmm... He's too young for cat food."

"I think we have some milk at home. Oh wait, I'll just get him to the vet since I have to get some cat food as well", said Jiwoo.

My ears sunk down as Kayden adjusted me in his arms. "I don't wanna go to a vet, hyung! Just give me some milk..."

Kayden spoke up laughing, "Now the kitten's even whining." That made me groan in annoyance.

"Pfft-", Jiwoo decided to control himself to save me from even more embarrassment. "Don't tease him too much Mr. Kayden." He took me from Kayden and then both him and Kartein turned back to cats.

DING DONG~

Jiwoo opened the door with me and Jisuk, Subin, and Wooin rushed inside complaining about each other. They plopped on the couches making themselves comfortable as Subin whined about Kayden and Kartein leaving which gave Jisuk another chance to make fun of her. As if to change the topic she pointed at me saying, "Is that a new addition to the family? It's so young! What's his name?" She snatched me from Jiwoo and placed me on her lap.

"It's Eunw- Eunho! He's Eunho..."

Jisuk scanned the house once and asked, "Where's Eunwoo?"

"Ah... He said he had some work so he won't be coming today..."

"Too bad. We were going to have a party tonight."

"He's adorable!", she said with stars in her eyes and held my hands to make me stand on two legs.

"Wait until he bites you", Jisuk said.

"I'll bite off your head before that!"

"He must be hungry. Let me go feed him some milk", Jiwoo said and Subin reluctantly handed me back to him. Jiwoo placed me near a small bowl of milk.

"But I too want some snacks...", I whispered to him.

Jiwoo smiled and shook his head. "They aren't healthy for you. Just wait till you're human again."

I sighed and licked some milk and my eyes enlarged. Did milk always taste this good?!! I wanted to hurry and drink it all up but I knew Kayden was watching and that would only give him another reason to tease me so I slowed myself.

Jiyoung came with snacks which Jisuk had asked her to and went outside to chat with Jiwoo. I walked up to where Kayden and Kartein were sitting, peeking up I saw how tall the couch was. How do I climb up there? Or should I just sit on the carpet? I think the latter is better since I was already feeling cold. However, the grey cat jumped down, lightly held my neck in his mouth and jumped back on the couch. Alright, that freaking scared me for a second!

"So, how's it like being a cat- I mean kitten?", Kayden asked biting back a smirk.

"Not so great so far. When the kids chased me, I thought I was in a Jurassic movie for a minute..." I continued, "Moreover, I think after training to become a cat, you don't transform immediately but instead become the first cat you come across."

"That's right. You understood it well but you should practice using your abilities in this form and also change whenever you want."

Jisuk and Subin were bickering like usual and Wooin was playing with the other cats. Jiwoo came back after his chat with Jiyoung and sat on the couch placing me on his lap while softly petting my head. Hm... This doesn't feel too bad after all... I felt warm, comfortable and cozy which made me sleepy. I shut my eyes only to fall into deep slumber the next second.
