[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:00 PM):
*Jae had been playing in the main room of the dorms--where all the chairs and such were stacked up and toppled over from before the fire. The desk also made for a fun time, since it was slick with dust he could slide across it...only to fall off one of the edges and repeat the process. Flopping onto his rear, he shook off his dusty paws and went about cleaning himself, having to use just his paws to clean off his little nub of a tail. Fun times~
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:02 PM):
*Mihi had spent the past few minutes looking for Jae. He hadn't been in his family's room, he hadn't been outside...padding along the hallway, still sniffling (he wasn't crying anymore at least, that wouldn't been embarassing to be seen doing) he paused as he heard a thud and a giggle. "Jae?" Peeking into the room, he padded in and sat down, his ears folded back.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:03 PM):
*Perking his ears up, he looked back and scooted on his butt towards the larger cat. "Mihi~" He flicked his little tail and grinned widely, flopping down on front of the larger kitten with a bright smile...it faltered after a moment of looking at him, though. "Have you been crying?" He questioned, reaching up a paw to brush at the other's damp cheek, "What's wrong?"
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:05 PM):
*Aaaand there were the waterworks again. Letting out a whimper and reaching up to try and physically push the tears back, he started to cry again, pouncing on Jae and hugging the other little kitten tightly. "Tempo came back," he sobbed. How silly of him, shouldn't he be happy? He didn't even really understand why he was so upset. Jae was smart, he would understand right?
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:09 PM):
*Jae squeaked a bit at the tears, giving a noise when the bigger kitten pretty much mauled him. Wrapping his arms around the other male, he patted his back softly and smiled at the news--though it was nervously. "O-oh--uh.." He paused, "And you're upset?" He could see why, he supposed. Grabbing onto the other's arms, he held him back slightly and smiled at him, reaching up to brush at his tears with a smile. "You're scared, then, huh? Everything's gonna change now."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:13 PM):
*Crying for a few more moments, Mihi sniffed and moved off of Jae, plopping down next to him with his legs splayed out. "Sorry," he murmured, wiping at his cheeks. He always forgot how tiny Jae was..."I donno. Dad's acting like nothing is wrong. Which I guess...I guess I should be happy...he doesn't even know my name," Mihi snapped angrily, frowning at his feet. "A-And it's weird. Two dads. Isn't
*that weird, you have a mom and a dad..." he trailed off, frowning.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:16 PM):
*Just petting his hair and wiping his tears as the male cried, he seated himself comfortably again when Mihi sat down, feet going every which way. He smiled weakly at the mention of his parents, giving a weak shrug at this. "Tempo's a good guy.." he reassured, patting the other's thigh softly, "But I can see why you're upset. From what my daddy tells me, he stayed behind to make sure all of you got out safe..." He shook the other's leg a bit, "Your parents...they love eachother. It shouldn't matter if I have a momma and you dont, right?"
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:20 PM):
*"Yeah..." Laying down and resting his head on Jae's thigh, he sighed and puffed out his cheeks. "I donno. It's weird," he muttered. "SunBae has a girlfriend, and even HyunSoon has a girlfriend...ish...thing..." SeungMoon had a boyfriend, and they were happy, but...Sitting back up, he fidgeted with his back paw with a frown, his vision a little wavey from the tears.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:23 PM):
*"SeungMoon has a boyfriend," he pointed out with a smile, "I dont think it's weird! But I grew up with Tempo and JiYong around, so I guess I got used to it. We also have Imp and Marshall who are together~ And SungMin and KyuHyun...And.." He knew there were more...meh. "But I guess you could see where it'd be weird.." He breathed quietly, shrugging. Giggling a bit, he reached his arms up to wrap around the kitten's neck, nuzzling his damp cheek. "Dont be sad! Lets play a game, or something."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:34 PM):
*Nodding, Mihi stayed quiet for a while before pushing himself to stand. "Okay. What kinda game?" he asked curiously, tail starting to sway. He liked Jae, he always knew what to say to make things better...and...pushing the thoughts away, he smiled and bounced on his toes a little.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:42 PM):
*"I donno', I've just been using the desk to slide on. Watch!" He was trying to be happy himself--he had wanted to tell Mihi about what was going on with his own parents, but...now wasn't the best time he supposed. Leaping up to his feet, he made a running start towards the desk, leaped up onto it, and all but flew over it, only to giggle as he flopped into a pile of old rags and curtains that had been burned by the fire.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:54 PM):
*Times of Dying 6:39 pm
(6:39:46 PM): Mireu smiled up at their father, nuzzling at him before trying to peek past him to their blood-father. It was kind of...odd. Tempo hadn't really tried to come out and see them, but he guessed he understood since he was weak. Nodding to JiYong, he sat back for a moment then moved to the back with Mihi, gently nuzzling his ear, "Give'em a chance." [Not done]
(6:41:31 PM): This situation seemed swapped. Last time, he had to raise the kittens by himself...but JiYong had known them before he got kidnapped. This time...well, he didn't even know their names. JiYong had tried to explain them to him, but he wasn't sure how that would go..Sighing, he pushed himself to stand, finally changed and clean and fed. He was still exhausted and emaciated, but whatever. Crossing his arms over his stomach as JiYong poked his head out to talk to the kittens, Tempo's ears folded back.
*Spica 6:44 pm
(6:44:12 PM): Jin smiled up nervously at JiYong, he liked him, he was kind but that still didn't make him feel any more at ease. Tempo didn't know them, and in a way that's who really mattered to him. He's risked his life for them and they didn't even know him, nor the other way around. It was that which scared him the most, he didn worry Tempo wouldn't like them. He nodded his head, his ear still folded back.
Syu 6:46 pm
(6:46:20 PM): The door creaked open, revealing JiYong and an unfamiliar cat, who Hyun Ki presumed to be Tempo. Eyes narrowed and he grinned, getting to his feet. He briefly glanced at Jin and playfully nudged him, silently telling Jin to stop worrying. Then he scampered up to Tempo and pounced into his arms. Hey, someone had to lighten the mood somehow.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:55 PM):
*Kisa 6:47 pm
(6:47:45 PM): Jin smiled at her brothers then brightened up when Ji walked out. She giggled and climbed into his arms and snuggled him as she looked over his shoulder at her papa. "Daddy Ji is that Papa?" she asked nervously as she looked at him from behind her hair and Dino hood.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (7:02 PM):
*Laughing as he watched Jae, Mihi clambered up onto the desk and giggled as his paws slipped out from underneath him, chin hitting the desk. "Owwww." Pushing himself to stand, he laughed and slid across the desk, flopping down with an 'oof!' atop Jae.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (7:24 PM):
*Jae burst out laughing when the male toppled. Probably shouldn't be--but it was funny. Squeaking when the male came out of nowhere and fell atop him, he whined and wrapped his arms around the larger kitten with a frown. "You're heavvvyyy..."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (7:40 PM):
*Laughing and nuzzling at Jae's cheek lovingly, Mihi huffed and stood with a giggle. "Sorryyyy," he teased...before licking Jae's cheek. No biggie okay don't judge. Blushing slightly, he shook off the smaller boy's arms and clambered off the pile of stuff, cleaning his paw slowly. Just a lick on the cheek, lots of people did that..
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (7:41 PM):
*Jae giggled and flailed his back feet, little nub of a tail wiggling as the male licked his cheek. When the other moved off of him, he rolled onto his feet and bolted off, bumping into Mihi on the way. Rushing up the stacked chairs, he squeaked and used his back feet to kick at the chiars, then got up to the top and stuck his tongue out at Mihi. "I'm the king~"
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (7:46 PM):
*Watching him, Mihi giggled and shook his head. "I'm the king!" he screeched, jumping up and starting to ascend the chairs. They wobbled dangerously under his weight, making him pout as he hopped back down to sit on the slippery desk.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (7:49 PM):
*Giggling at the larger kitten, he scrambled back down chairs to leap atop Mihi, making them slide along the desk--and down into the pile of fabric with a laugh. Now lying atop Mihi, he pushed himself to sit up and leaned right back down to lick his nose affectionately. "Nope, I'm still king."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (7:55 PM):
*Squealing and laughing when they landed back into the pile of rags, he giggled - then stopped short at the lick to his nose. "Yeah," he laughed, pushing Jae off and hopping down. "Fineeee you're king."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (8:06 PM):
*Flopping onto his rear after he was pushed off, he giggled a bit and kicked his hind legs playfully while he watched the other male with bright eyes. But he couldn't help but being bothered... "You know," he began, grooming at one of his paws idly, "My daddy is leaving...my mommy said that he couldn't deal with the stress."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (8:08 PM):
*Grooming his tail slowly, Mihi paused when Jae spoke, his eyes lifting to look at the smaller kitten. Oh...and here he was, crying over his dad -coming back-. "Jae..." Wow he was an a*****e. Pausing for a moment, he reached over to pull the older kitten into a hug, sighing. "I-I donno what to say..."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (8:12 PM):
*Oh, bad timing. He shrugged a bit when the male said his name, though leaned into the hug despite himself. He wasn't upset about him being upset over his long-lost father coming back...it was true, he had left them alone...but..His eyes welled up a bit at the hug, but he forced himself to stay calm. "Nothing to say..." Jae murmured, squishing his cheek against Mihi's chest, "Just figured I'd tell you before he left...you're my best friend, so.."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (8:15 PM):
*"Has he talked to you guys?" he asked curiously, cocking his head. "Or just your mom?" How could he just leave his family like that? At least Tempo had had a reason...Sighing and plopping back onto his back, he pulled Jae to lay next to him and frowned up at the ceiling. "Families suck."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (8:17 PM):
*"He told us he was going away for a while," he shrugged and curled an arm under his head to support him. "He said he'd come back in a little while. He was just having problems with mommy," looking up to Mihi, he laughed a bit and nodded, "Families do suck. Mom is freaking out, so I spend most of my time in an extra room or in the yard."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (8:20 PM):
*At least...his parents were happy. Frowning and closing his eyes, he shook his head. "You can come stay with me, Daddy and Papa won't mind," he offered. Being with Jae would be...nice. He liked spending time with him and stuff...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (8:50 PM):
*"I donno, Ji reacted funny to SeungMoon's boyfriend, donno how he'd feel about someone staying wiht you~" Oh--that sounded odd. "Not that..we're boyfriends, but still." He shrugged, failing at coveirng up the slip-up. He pushed himself to sit up, perking his ears as he looked down to the male, smiling. "Lets go outside."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (9:22 PM):
*Blinking and sitting up, Mihi opened his mouth in confusion before Jae moved. Wasn't that...kind of different? Moving to stand, he bit his lip and nodded. It was a nice day out after all...Did Jae like him like Seungmoon liked Lor? Wasn't that...weird?
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (9:45 PM):
*Kinda' different sure. But whatever. He pranced over to the door to quickly go outside, jumping down the stairs one by one. Just forget what you said--dumbass. Biting his lower lip, he rolled into the grass at the bottom, smiling and splaying out on his back, little nub of a tail wiggling happily.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (9:59 PM):
*Mihi followed after him, hopping down the stairs before plopping down in the grass. Laying down on his tummy, he peeked over at Jae in curiousity. Did he? It couldn't be that bad, right? His dads were happy, and Seungmoon were happy...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (10:59 PM):
*Stretching out, he cossed his arms over his chest and sighed. He had messed up...crap. Closing his eyes, he flicked his little tail and turned his head away from Mihi, his ears folded back slightly. Mihi was his best friend..he shouldn't have any sort of thoughts for him besides -being friends-.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (11:12 PM):
*Shifting, Mihi wiggled his butt before army crawling closer to Jae. Would it be so bad, if he did? Maybe he should talk to Seungmoon, or Sunbae or...Flattening his ears when Jae turned away, the larger cat rolled over onto his back and bit his lip. So much had happened all at once...His dad came back, Jae's dad was leaving...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (11:25 PM):
*Glancing back at Mihi when he came closer, he couldn't help but smile. Slowly, he rolled over onto his side, raising a hand up to run into the other's hair, giving light tugs to tease him. "So, you got a crush on anyone~?" The kid didn't get to go out much--but hey, who knew. They had people come and go from the ruins all the time. "Hmm~?"
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (12:07 AM):
*Blinking and looking over at Jae, he grinned and snorted, wrinkling his nose. "No. Do you?" He didn't really get to meet or hang out with anyone but his siblings and their girlfriends or boyfriends...which would be bad if he was attracted to any of them. Wel lthem and Jae...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (12:14 AM):
*"Not..really," not as set as Mihi's answer, but eh. He shrugged, smiling sheepishly. "What about my sister~ Dont like her?" he'd never wish that upon anyone. HyunAe was kind of insane, needless to say, and she was much more hyper than he would ever be. Eh. Pushing himself to sit up, he brushed off his side and slouched down instead, looking down to the younger kitten curiously.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (12:40 AM):
*Looking over at Jae curiously, he cocked his head and perked his ears. "Not really? That means you do!" he giggled, pushing playfully at the older kitten's chest. "Tell meee, I'm your best friend!" Even if he was Jae's crush...wrinkling his nose at the question, he shook his head and huffed. "She's so loud. Louder than me!"
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (12:43 AM):
*Flushing instantly, Jae shook his head and reaches a hand up to push at the youth's hand. "N-no! I dont wanna tell.." Which means he -did- have a crush...and he just admitted to it. Mentally slapping himself, he bit his lower lip and nodded when he commented on his sister. Very true.. "I-it's not important.."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (12:47 AM):
*Pouting at the refusal to tell, Mihi sat up and crossed his arms over his chest. "I thought I was your best friend...." he mumbled quietly, ears flattening. If Jae didn't want to tell him, then...either it was embarassing (one of his sisters or..."I won't tell."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (12:51 AM):
*"You are!" He defended, pouting and reaching up to pull at his own ears nervously. Pulling them down to the sides of his head, he puffed out his cheeks and looked up at the other, cheeks still flushed. "I-I know you wont..but.." He didn't know what to say...this was embarrassing.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (12:56 AM):
*"Fine don't tell me," he huffed, moving to stand and flick his tail irritably. "See if I tell you anything ever again!" Must be one of his sisters. YunHee? No way, b***h was scary. MiSun? She was deaf. Jae wouldn't like her. JinAi? Prancing away through the grass, he chased after a butterfly before stopping and turning to look at Jae, fluffy tail swayin.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (12:58 AM):
*Flattening his ears back against his scalp, he dropped his gaze when the male got so upset about it. His own little nub of a tail flicked this way and that, unsure. Jae picked at a few blades of grass before moving to lie back down, this time one his stomach, with his legs splayed out behind him. Maybe he should just say it..
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:03 AM):
*His tail slowly stopped moving, his ears flattening again as he shuffled over. Plopping down on his butt, he reached over to poke the other kitten's foot with his paw. "Hey," he whined. "If it's my sister, whichever one, it's okay. I won't mind if you date my sister," he tried, cocking his head and smiling hopefully.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:08 AM):
*"It's not your sisters.." He mumbled, foot twitching a bit at the pokes--he was ticklish, okay?--Looking back up at the male, his ears still drawn back, he looked down to the grass and absently sunk his claws into the soft soil. This was dumb, why should he be so afraid? ...probably afraid of losing his friendship with Mihi, that's what. "I like you..." Jae whispered, very quietly--he almost didn't want him to hear, but..
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:18 AM):
*Watching him be so nervous, it almost broke Mihi's heart. Biting his lip, he lay down and rested his head on Jae's back, nuzzling at his fur. He felt bad, making him tell him now, if it was making him this upset...But that was...almost unexpected. Sitting up, he looked down at Jae and bit his lip, looking away. "I thought so," he said quietly, shrugging. "I...I donno," he confessed quietly. He
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:19 AM):
*didn't want to hurt Jae's feeligns but..."I donno how I feel."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:22 AM):
*"I know," he mumbled quietly, ripping the grass out one by one after the male moved off of his back. He stared down at the ground, making a pile of the grass as he went. "That's why I didn't want to say anything.." Jae felt so dirty--so wrong when he heard Mihi talking about JiYong and Tempo like he did..that it was 'weird' to have two dads...and he didn't get it. "Sorry," he mumbled, shifting to curl his paws up to his chest, but kept his hind legs stretched out behind him. "I didn't want it to mess up our friendship.."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:25 AM):
*Now he felt like a d-bag. Saying all those things about his dads, about his brother..."I-I..." He didn't want him to be sorry, because that meant he didn't want to like him...Reaching forward, he took one of his paws and squeezed it, smiling softly. "You didn't. I just...I've never thought..." Of him that way? That was a lie. Looking down at his back feet, he frowned as his tail twitched in
*contemplation. "I think I like you too?"
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:27 AM):
*Jae shrugged a bit, moving to push himself up to a sit, pulling his hand away in the process. He crossed his legs and continued to play with the grass. Times like this made him wish he had a tail to hide behind like Mihi did... "You dont have to just say that," he said, tears still pinned back, "You already said you thought it was weird..for two boys to be like that..I understand."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:32 AM):
*Oh now that pissed him off. His fur bristeled slightly as he frowned. "You think I'd say something like that just to make you feel better?" he snapped, frowning. "You're stupid." Standing and whipping his tail in irritation, he turned and took a few tentative steps back towards the dorms. How dare he think that - how long had he known Mihi? Turning back to Jae, he frowned and sat back down, tail
*still twitching.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:35 AM):
*Wincing slightly at this, he lowered his head and grabbed up handfulls of his pants, instead. He knew it was a little hurtful...but how could Mihi just up and change his mind in a matter of minutes? From going from finding his brother and dads weird to liking him..? It just didn't seem plausible to him. Sniffling a bit, he flicked his tail and brought his legs up to his chest. He wanted to leave--but he didn't...not with Mihi upset at him like this..
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:53 AM):
*Watching Jae silently, Mihi snorted and stood again. "Fine whatever, be that way. Forget what I said." Turning, he hopped up a few steps, sitting down again with hsi back to Jae. He wasn't sure how he felt, honestly. Yeah it was weird, two guys being together, but...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:55 AM):
*Glancing back at the male as he went up the stairs, he kept his head low and ears flat. He felt horrible...his stomach felt sick and his body ached. As his eyes welled up, he slowly moved to turn, stepping after him carefully. Crawling up the stairs, he rested his chin down on the step beside Mihi, gaze turned down. "I dont want to forget.."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (2:05 AM):
*"Well then quit being an a*****e," Mihi muttered. Moving to lay down on the step, hep ressed their noses together and frowned. "If I thought you were gross I'd tell you." And he would. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind - especially with Jae. "I said I think I like you. I really do. I...I donno though."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (2:08 AM):
*"Sorry.." Blinking as their noses touched, he blinked back his frustrated tears and looked up at the other with glazed eyes. Shifting on the step to get comfortable, he gripped onto the edge of the step above him, where Mihi was, and sniffed a bit. "Okay," what else could he say..? "Tell me when you know..?" He said hopefully, giving a small smile to try and not seem so..well, emo.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (2:21 AM):
*Nodding, Mihi smiled softly before nuzzling their noses together. "Jerk," he muttered. Hesitating a moment, he leaned forward to press a quick kiss to the other's cheek before sitting up. "Let's play," he chirped. Tugging on Jae's ear for a moment, he grinned before jumping off the step and prancing away, tail held high. "Tag, you're it~"
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (2:25 AM):
*Smiling at the kiss, he pushed himself to stand and looked after the male. Flicking his ears, he pouted and moved to run after the hybrid, whining. "Not fair! You got a head start!" Jae called, leaping towards Mihi to try and grab his tail and drag him down.
*Jae had been playing in the main room of the dorms--where all the chairs and such were stacked up and toppled over from before the fire. The desk also made for a fun time, since it was slick with dust he could slide across it...only to fall off one of the edges and repeat the process. Flopping onto his rear, he shook off his dusty paws and went about cleaning himself, having to use just his paws to clean off his little nub of a tail. Fun times~
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:02 PM):
*Mihi had spent the past few minutes looking for Jae. He hadn't been in his family's room, he hadn't been outside...padding along the hallway, still sniffling (he wasn't crying anymore at least, that wouldn't been embarassing to be seen doing) he paused as he heard a thud and a giggle. "Jae?" Peeking into the room, he padded in and sat down, his ears folded back.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:03 PM):
*Perking his ears up, he looked back and scooted on his butt towards the larger cat. "Mihi~" He flicked his little tail and grinned widely, flopping down on front of the larger kitten with a bright smile...it faltered after a moment of looking at him, though. "Have you been crying?" He questioned, reaching up a paw to brush at the other's damp cheek, "What's wrong?"
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:05 PM):
*Aaaand there were the waterworks again. Letting out a whimper and reaching up to try and physically push the tears back, he started to cry again, pouncing on Jae and hugging the other little kitten tightly. "Tempo came back," he sobbed. How silly of him, shouldn't he be happy? He didn't even really understand why he was so upset. Jae was smart, he would understand right?
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:09 PM):
*Jae squeaked a bit at the tears, giving a noise when the bigger kitten pretty much mauled him. Wrapping his arms around the other male, he patted his back softly and smiled at the news--though it was nervously. "O-oh--uh.." He paused, "And you're upset?" He could see why, he supposed. Grabbing onto the other's arms, he held him back slightly and smiled at him, reaching up to brush at his tears with a smile. "You're scared, then, huh? Everything's gonna change now."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:13 PM):
*Crying for a few more moments, Mihi sniffed and moved off of Jae, plopping down next to him with his legs splayed out. "Sorry," he murmured, wiping at his cheeks. He always forgot how tiny Jae was..."I donno. Dad's acting like nothing is wrong. Which I guess...I guess I should be happy...he doesn't even know my name," Mihi snapped angrily, frowning at his feet. "A-And it's weird. Two dads. Isn't
*that weird, you have a mom and a dad..." he trailed off, frowning.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:16 PM):
*Just petting his hair and wiping his tears as the male cried, he seated himself comfortably again when Mihi sat down, feet going every which way. He smiled weakly at the mention of his parents, giving a weak shrug at this. "Tempo's a good guy.." he reassured, patting the other's thigh softly, "But I can see why you're upset. From what my daddy tells me, he stayed behind to make sure all of you got out safe..." He shook the other's leg a bit, "Your parents...they love eachother. It shouldn't matter if I have a momma and you dont, right?"
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:20 PM):
*"Yeah..." Laying down and resting his head on Jae's thigh, he sighed and puffed out his cheeks. "I donno. It's weird," he muttered. "SunBae has a girlfriend, and even HyunSoon has a girlfriend...ish...thing..." SeungMoon had a boyfriend, and they were happy, but...Sitting back up, he fidgeted with his back paw with a frown, his vision a little wavey from the tears.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (6:23 PM):
*"SeungMoon has a boyfriend," he pointed out with a smile, "I dont think it's weird! But I grew up with Tempo and JiYong around, so I guess I got used to it. We also have Imp and Marshall who are together~ And SungMin and KyuHyun...And.." He knew there were more...meh. "But I guess you could see where it'd be weird.." He breathed quietly, shrugging. Giggling a bit, he reached his arms up to wrap around the kitten's neck, nuzzling his damp cheek. "Dont be sad! Lets play a game, or something."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (6:34 PM):
*Nodding, Mihi stayed quiet for a while before pushing himself to stand. "Okay. What kinda game?" he asked curiously, tail starting to sway. He liked Jae, he always knew what to say to make things better...and...pushing the thoughts away, he smiled and bounced on his toes a little.

*"I donno', I've just been using the desk to slide on. Watch!" He was trying to be happy himself--he had wanted to tell Mihi about what was going on with his own parents, but...now wasn't the best time he supposed. Leaping up to his feet, he made a running start towards the desk, leaped up onto it, and all but flew over it, only to giggle as he flopped into a pile of old rags and curtains that had been burned by the fire.

*Times of Dying 6:39 pm
(6:39:46 PM): Mireu smiled up at their father, nuzzling at him before trying to peek past him to their blood-father. It was kind of...odd. Tempo hadn't really tried to come out and see them, but he guessed he understood since he was weak. Nodding to JiYong, he sat back for a moment then moved to the back with Mihi, gently nuzzling his ear, "Give'em a chance." [Not done]
(6:41:31 PM): This situation seemed swapped. Last time, he had to raise the kittens by himself...but JiYong had known them before he got kidnapped. This time...well, he didn't even know their names. JiYong had tried to explain them to him, but he wasn't sure how that would go..Sighing, he pushed himself to stand, finally changed and clean and fed. He was still exhausted and emaciated, but whatever. Crossing his arms over his stomach as JiYong poked his head out to talk to the kittens, Tempo's ears folded back.
*Spica 6:44 pm
(6:44:12 PM): Jin smiled up nervously at JiYong, he liked him, he was kind but that still didn't make him feel any more at ease. Tempo didn't know them, and in a way that's who really mattered to him. He's risked his life for them and they didn't even know him, nor the other way around. It was that which scared him the most, he didn worry Tempo wouldn't like them. He nodded his head, his ear still folded back.
Syu 6:46 pm
(6:46:20 PM): The door creaked open, revealing JiYong and an unfamiliar cat, who Hyun Ki presumed to be Tempo. Eyes narrowed and he grinned, getting to his feet. He briefly glanced at Jin and playfully nudged him, silently telling Jin to stop worrying. Then he scampered up to Tempo and pounced into his arms. Hey, someone had to lighten the mood somehow.

*Kisa 6:47 pm
(6:47:45 PM): Jin smiled at her brothers then brightened up when Ji walked out. She giggled and climbed into his arms and snuggled him as she looked over his shoulder at her papa. "Daddy Ji is that Papa?" she asked nervously as she looked at him from behind her hair and Dino hood.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (7:02 PM):
*Laughing as he watched Jae, Mihi clambered up onto the desk and giggled as his paws slipped out from underneath him, chin hitting the desk. "Owwww." Pushing himself to stand, he laughed and slid across the desk, flopping down with an 'oof!' atop Jae.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (7:24 PM):
*Jae burst out laughing when the male toppled. Probably shouldn't be--but it was funny. Squeaking when the male came out of nowhere and fell atop him, he whined and wrapped his arms around the larger kitten with a frown. "You're heavvvyyy..."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (7:40 PM):
*Laughing and nuzzling at Jae's cheek lovingly, Mihi huffed and stood with a giggle. "Sorryyyy," he teased...before licking Jae's cheek. No biggie okay don't judge. Blushing slightly, he shook off the smaller boy's arms and clambered off the pile of stuff, cleaning his paw slowly. Just a lick on the cheek, lots of people did that..
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (7:41 PM):
*Jae giggled and flailed his back feet, little nub of a tail wiggling as the male licked his cheek. When the other moved off of him, he rolled onto his feet and bolted off, bumping into Mihi on the way. Rushing up the stacked chairs, he squeaked and used his back feet to kick at the chiars, then got up to the top and stuck his tongue out at Mihi. "I'm the king~"
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (7:46 PM):
*Watching him, Mihi giggled and shook his head. "I'm the king!" he screeched, jumping up and starting to ascend the chairs. They wobbled dangerously under his weight, making him pout as he hopped back down to sit on the slippery desk.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (7:49 PM):
*Giggling at the larger kitten, he scrambled back down chairs to leap atop Mihi, making them slide along the desk--and down into the pile of fabric with a laugh. Now lying atop Mihi, he pushed himself to sit up and leaned right back down to lick his nose affectionately. "Nope, I'm still king."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (7:55 PM):
*Squealing and laughing when they landed back into the pile of rags, he giggled - then stopped short at the lick to his nose. "Yeah," he laughed, pushing Jae off and hopping down. "Fineeee you're king."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (8:06 PM):
*Flopping onto his rear after he was pushed off, he giggled a bit and kicked his hind legs playfully while he watched the other male with bright eyes. But he couldn't help but being bothered... "You know," he began, grooming at one of his paws idly, "My daddy is leaving...my mommy said that he couldn't deal with the stress."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (8:08 PM):
*Grooming his tail slowly, Mihi paused when Jae spoke, his eyes lifting to look at the smaller kitten. Oh...and here he was, crying over his dad -coming back-. "Jae..." Wow he was an a*****e. Pausing for a moment, he reached over to pull the older kitten into a hug, sighing. "I-I donno what to say..."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (8:12 PM):
*Oh, bad timing. He shrugged a bit when the male said his name, though leaned into the hug despite himself. He wasn't upset about him being upset over his long-lost father coming back...it was true, he had left them alone...but..His eyes welled up a bit at the hug, but he forced himself to stay calm. "Nothing to say..." Jae murmured, squishing his cheek against Mihi's chest, "Just figured I'd tell you before he left...you're my best friend, so.."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (8:15 PM):
*"Has he talked to you guys?" he asked curiously, cocking his head. "Or just your mom?" How could he just leave his family like that? At least Tempo had had a reason...Sighing and plopping back onto his back, he pulled Jae to lay next to him and frowned up at the ceiling. "Families suck."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (8:17 PM):
*"He told us he was going away for a while," he shrugged and curled an arm under his head to support him. "He said he'd come back in a little while. He was just having problems with mommy," looking up to Mihi, he laughed a bit and nodded, "Families do suck. Mom is freaking out, so I spend most of my time in an extra room or in the yard."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (8:20 PM):
*At least...his parents were happy. Frowning and closing his eyes, he shook his head. "You can come stay with me, Daddy and Papa won't mind," he offered. Being with Jae would be...nice. He liked spending time with him and stuff...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (8:50 PM):
*"I donno, Ji reacted funny to SeungMoon's boyfriend, donno how he'd feel about someone staying wiht you~" Oh--that sounded odd. "Not that..we're boyfriends, but still." He shrugged, failing at coveirng up the slip-up. He pushed himself to sit up, perking his ears as he looked down to the male, smiling. "Lets go outside."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (9:22 PM):
*Blinking and sitting up, Mihi opened his mouth in confusion before Jae moved. Wasn't that...kind of different? Moving to stand, he bit his lip and nodded. It was a nice day out after all...Did Jae like him like Seungmoon liked Lor? Wasn't that...weird?
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (9:45 PM):
*Kinda' different sure. But whatever. He pranced over to the door to quickly go outside, jumping down the stairs one by one. Just forget what you said--dumbass. Biting his lower lip, he rolled into the grass at the bottom, smiling and splaying out on his back, little nub of a tail wiggling happily.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (9:59 PM):
*Mihi followed after him, hopping down the stairs before plopping down in the grass. Laying down on his tummy, he peeked over at Jae in curiousity. Did he? It couldn't be that bad, right? His dads were happy, and Seungmoon were happy...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (10:59 PM):
*Stretching out, he cossed his arms over his chest and sighed. He had messed up...crap. Closing his eyes, he flicked his little tail and turned his head away from Mihi, his ears folded back slightly. Mihi was his best friend..he shouldn't have any sort of thoughts for him besides -being friends-.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (11:12 PM):
*Shifting, Mihi wiggled his butt before army crawling closer to Jae. Would it be so bad, if he did? Maybe he should talk to Seungmoon, or Sunbae or...Flattening his ears when Jae turned away, the larger cat rolled over onto his back and bit his lip. So much had happened all at once...His dad came back, Jae's dad was leaving...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (11:25 PM):
*Glancing back at Mihi when he came closer, he couldn't help but smile. Slowly, he rolled over onto his side, raising a hand up to run into the other's hair, giving light tugs to tease him. "So, you got a crush on anyone~?" The kid didn't get to go out much--but hey, who knew. They had people come and go from the ruins all the time. "Hmm~?"
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (12:07 AM):
*Blinking and looking over at Jae, he grinned and snorted, wrinkling his nose. "No. Do you?" He didn't really get to meet or hang out with anyone but his siblings and their girlfriends or boyfriends...which would be bad if he was attracted to any of them. Wel lthem and Jae...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (12:14 AM):
*"Not..really," not as set as Mihi's answer, but eh. He shrugged, smiling sheepishly. "What about my sister~ Dont like her?" he'd never wish that upon anyone. HyunAe was kind of insane, needless to say, and she was much more hyper than he would ever be. Eh. Pushing himself to sit up, he brushed off his side and slouched down instead, looking down to the younger kitten curiously.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (12:40 AM):
*Looking over at Jae curiously, he cocked his head and perked his ears. "Not really? That means you do!" he giggled, pushing playfully at the older kitten's chest. "Tell meee, I'm your best friend!" Even if he was Jae's crush...wrinkling his nose at the question, he shook his head and huffed. "She's so loud. Louder than me!"
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (12:43 AM):
*Flushing instantly, Jae shook his head and reaches a hand up to push at the youth's hand. "N-no! I dont wanna tell.." Which means he -did- have a crush...and he just admitted to it. Mentally slapping himself, he bit his lower lip and nodded when he commented on his sister. Very true.. "I-it's not important.."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (12:47 AM):
*Pouting at the refusal to tell, Mihi sat up and crossed his arms over his chest. "I thought I was your best friend...." he mumbled quietly, ears flattening. If Jae didn't want to tell him, then...either it was embarassing (one of his sisters or..."I won't tell."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (12:51 AM):
*"You are!" He defended, pouting and reaching up to pull at his own ears nervously. Pulling them down to the sides of his head, he puffed out his cheeks and looked up at the other, cheeks still flushed. "I-I know you wont..but.." He didn't know what to say...this was embarrassing.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (12:56 AM):
*"Fine don't tell me," he huffed, moving to stand and flick his tail irritably. "See if I tell you anything ever again!" Must be one of his sisters. YunHee? No way, b***h was scary. MiSun? She was deaf. Jae wouldn't like her. JinAi? Prancing away through the grass, he chased after a butterfly before stopping and turning to look at Jae, fluffy tail swayin.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (12:58 AM):
*Flattening his ears back against his scalp, he dropped his gaze when the male got so upset about it. His own little nub of a tail flicked this way and that, unsure. Jae picked at a few blades of grass before moving to lie back down, this time one his stomach, with his legs splayed out behind him. Maybe he should just say it..
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:03 AM):
*His tail slowly stopped moving, his ears flattening again as he shuffled over. Plopping down on his butt, he reached over to poke the other kitten's foot with his paw. "Hey," he whined. "If it's my sister, whichever one, it's okay. I won't mind if you date my sister," he tried, cocking his head and smiling hopefully.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:08 AM):
*"It's not your sisters.." He mumbled, foot twitching a bit at the pokes--he was ticklish, okay?--Looking back up at the male, his ears still drawn back, he looked down to the grass and absently sunk his claws into the soft soil. This was dumb, why should he be so afraid? ...probably afraid of losing his friendship with Mihi, that's what. "I like you..." Jae whispered, very quietly--he almost didn't want him to hear, but..
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:18 AM):
*Watching him be so nervous, it almost broke Mihi's heart. Biting his lip, he lay down and rested his head on Jae's back, nuzzling at his fur. He felt bad, making him tell him now, if it was making him this upset...But that was...almost unexpected. Sitting up, he looked down at Jae and bit his lip, looking away. "I thought so," he said quietly, shrugging. "I...I donno," he confessed quietly. He
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:19 AM):
*didn't want to hurt Jae's feeligns but..."I donno how I feel."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:22 AM):
*"I know," he mumbled quietly, ripping the grass out one by one after the male moved off of his back. He stared down at the ground, making a pile of the grass as he went. "That's why I didn't want to say anything.." Jae felt so dirty--so wrong when he heard Mihi talking about JiYong and Tempo like he did..that it was 'weird' to have two dads...and he didn't get it. "Sorry," he mumbled, shifting to curl his paws up to his chest, but kept his hind legs stretched out behind him. "I didn't want it to mess up our friendship.."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:25 AM):
*Now he felt like a d-bag. Saying all those things about his dads, about his brother..."I-I..." He didn't want him to be sorry, because that meant he didn't want to like him...Reaching forward, he took one of his paws and squeezed it, smiling softly. "You didn't. I just...I've never thought..." Of him that way? That was a lie. Looking down at his back feet, he frowned as his tail twitched in
*contemplation. "I think I like you too?"
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:27 AM):
*Jae shrugged a bit, moving to push himself up to a sit, pulling his hand away in the process. He crossed his legs and continued to play with the grass. Times like this made him wish he had a tail to hide behind like Mihi did... "You dont have to just say that," he said, tears still pinned back, "You already said you thought it was weird..for two boys to be like that..I understand."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:32 AM):
*Oh now that pissed him off. His fur bristeled slightly as he frowned. "You think I'd say something like that just to make you feel better?" he snapped, frowning. "You're stupid." Standing and whipping his tail in irritation, he turned and took a few tentative steps back towards the dorms. How dare he think that - how long had he known Mihi? Turning back to Jae, he frowned and sat back down, tail
*still twitching.
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:35 AM):
*Wincing slightly at this, he lowered his head and grabbed up handfulls of his pants, instead. He knew it was a little hurtful...but how could Mihi just up and change his mind in a matter of minutes? From going from finding his brother and dads weird to liking him..? It just didn't seem plausible to him. Sniffling a bit, he flicked his tail and brought his legs up to his chest. He wanted to leave--but he didn't...not with Mihi upset at him like this..
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (1:53 AM):
*Watching Jae silently, Mihi snorted and stood again. "Fine whatever, be that way. Forget what I said." Turning, he hopped up a few steps, sitting down again with hsi back to Jae. He wasn't sure how he felt, honestly. Yeah it was weird, two guys being together, but...
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (1:55 AM):
*Glancing back at the male as he went up the stairs, he kept his head low and ears flat. He felt horrible...his stomach felt sick and his body ached. As his eyes welled up, he slowly moved to turn, stepping after him carefully. Crawling up the stairs, he rested his chin down on the step beside Mihi, gaze turned down. "I dont want to forget.."
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (2:05 AM):
*"Well then quit being an a*****e," Mihi muttered. Moving to lay down on the step, hep ressed their noses together and frowned. "If I thought you were gross I'd tell you." And he would. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind - especially with Jae. "I said I think I like you. I really do. I...I donno though."
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (2:08 AM):
*"Sorry.." Blinking as their noses touched, he blinked back his frustrated tears and looked up at the other with glazed eyes. Shifting on the step to get comfortable, he gripped onto the edge of the step above him, where Mihi was, and sniffed a bit. "Okay," what else could he say..? "Tell me when you know..?" He said hopefully, giving a small smile to try and not seem so..well, emo.
「ｍｉｓｔｅｒ ｆｌｉｎｔｓｏｎｅ。」 says (2:21 AM):
*Nodding, Mihi smiled softly before nuzzling their noses together. "Jerk," he muttered. Hesitating a moment, he leaned forward to press a quick kiss to the other's cheek before sitting up. "Let's play," he chirped. Tugging on Jae's ear for a moment, he grinned before jumping off the step and prancing away, tail held high. "Tag, you're it~"
[최승현] 「Listen to my heartbeat.」 says (2:25 AM):
*Smiling at the kiss, he pushed himself to stand and looked after the male. Flicking his ears, he pouted and moved to run after the hybrid, whining. "Not fair! You got a head start!" Jae called, leaping towards Mihi to try and grab his tail and drag him down.
