Seventeen, whose promotional period has ended, has had some free time for the first time in a while.
...what the hell. This shit company didn't give me any time to rest, saying they would come back to Japan in a few months.
In the end, as soon as our Korean activities ended, we had to prepare for our Japanese activities without even resting for a few days. And these days, ○○, who has been following Jihoon to the studio and having fun, has become Jihoon's studio mate.
The Seventeen members were surprised every day by ○○, who was half-human and half-squirrel, but whose musical inclinations matched Jihoon's perfectly, and who would learn ten things if he taught them one thing. Today, Jihoon and ○○ headed to the studio as if nothing had changed.
"Ugh... it's hot..."
"It must have been even hotter on the way here because there were cats."
"This is why I hate summer..."
"I just turned on the air conditioner, so wait."
But ○○ tied up his hair in the air that didn't cool down right away.
"It's hot..."
"..."
"...Look at this. Even a cat can tie up its hair."
Still, it was hot, so I was enjoying the breeze in front of the fan that Jihoon had brought.
"Ugh...it's refreshing."
"..."
The air quickly cooled, and only then did ○○ show a look of hope. Then, as usual, he looked at Jihoon's fingers composing music.
"end"
"already?"
"huh"
"Want to hear it?"
Jihoon played the music in order of 1, 2, and 3.
"I think it would be okay if there wasn't that... mechanical sound in number 1."
"Really? I was going to try something different this time, but I guess I'll have to change it."
"I'm so dizzy because there's so much mechanical noise."
"Well...come this way. Then I'll make it like this..."
At that moment, a knock was heard on the studio door, and before ○○ could turn into a cat, a person came in.
"Jihoon. This activity...who is it.."
The CEO of the company that I mentioned earlier that makes people work a lot came to Jihoon's studio.
"..Ah...that's Seungcheol hyung's cousin. Seungcheol hyung was busy so he was helping me with my work."
"I see... It feels very different from Seungcheol."
"...You look like your maternal side."
"By the way, if Jihoon is helping you with your work, he must be a really good guy, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"What's your name?"
"..Kim○○"
"..."
"....are you."
○○ tried to speak informally to Ji-Hoon as if he were talking to a child, but when he saw Ji-Hoon's suddenly flustered expression, he changed to formal speech.
"Have you ever thought about becoming a celebrity?"
"Yes. There isn't any."
"..."
"...sigh.."
Ji-hoon felt sorry for seeing this situation alone.
The representative was flustered and told Ji-Hoon to contact him if he became interested again, and left after giving him a few reports on this activity.
"I did well! Haha"
"Oh lol you did really well"
"lol"
Jihoon couldn't believe his eyes, wondering if it was really the cat that had been tying its hair up just now. ○○'s smile, ready to transform from cat to puppy at any moment, was so cute it was hard to describe in words.
As the air became quite chilly, ○○ transformed into a cat and went over Jihoon's legs.
Every time the air got cold, ○○ slept on top of the warm Ji-Hoon.
"Is it that comfortable?"
"Meow"
Ji-Hoon continued working while stroking ○○.
Ji-Hoon was worried that something might go wrong while he was working.
"Hmm.."
"Nyaaaa"
"Huh? You're awake?"
○○ got down from Jihoon's leg and turned into a human.
"What's wrong? I heard you groaning in your sleep."
"Ah.. the chorus part here is too high, I can't do it..."
"...What. Why"
"Do you want to try?"
"I've never sung before?"
"No. I'll do well."
"...Well, let's give it a try"
○○ went into the booth and sang as Jihoon told him to.
""Kikasete kikasete. Aishiteru. Shiteru."
Ji-hoon was satisfied, saying that his judgment was not wrong, and told ○○ to come out.
"Did I do well?"
"Oh. Good job."
"end?"
"why?"
"What else? Like churu..."
Churu: A treat that cats go crazy for (similar to squeezed yogurt)
Even though Min-gyu clearly told him not to give Churu to ○○... he was talking to her with those cat-like eyes... how could he not give it to her... Ji-hoon had no choice but to take out a few Churu he had kept in his bag. Upon seeing the Churu, ○○ turned into a cat and was meekly eating the Churu Ji-hoon was giving him.
"Min-gyu told me not to give it to him..."
"Meow"
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
Today too, Jihoon loses to ○○.
