Since some time ago, ○○ has been living by following Jihoon and learning how to compose... helping with Seventeen's chorus... and sometimes adding harmony when the vocal team was arranging, and showing off his talents to the fullest.
Today, as always, I followed Jihoon to the studio.
"Where should I go today?"
"...Don't you want to be a singer?"
"Yeah. I don't want to."
"..."
"I like being unemployed haha"
"...Okay. I can't tell someone who doesn't want to do it...let's just record it."
"...Well, my friend is working...I haven't seen him in a while."
"what?"
"Ah...don't worry about it!"
What would we do? You without me... yeah...
"Okay. Good job."
"Did I do well?"
"Yeah. You did a great job."
Jihoon, who rarely gives compliments to his members, has been praising them even more in the hopes that ○○ might change his mind.
"Hey Jihoon, are you busy?"
"Uh. Why?"
"...I'm going to take ○○ with me..."
"Why?"
"Isn't the recording over? Since ○○ can't even go for a walk, I was going to teach him how to dance."
"...I'm not going to be a singer, butlers."
"Hey... I got caught. But let's go anyway. Okay?"
"Jihoon. Can I go?"
"...Go and come back. Just rest."
Since it was a talent that was too good to be wasted, all the children worked together to develop ○○'s talent even further.
But ○○ didn't want to be a singer and quit at that time.
"Here... one, two, three, and four"
"like this?"
"Right. Good job."
"But this part is too crazy... There are a lot of you people here, so your eyes will hurt."
"...Then what should we do?"
"Skip this part and just put in the flow chart."
"Oh... that's good?"
After working on the choreography for Soonyoung and Going Seventeen for a while, ○○ got tired and just lay down on the practice room floor and turned into a cat.
"I guess it's because he's a cat... His dance lines are incredibly soft and flexible."
"meow"
"..Do you really want to try being a singer?"
Sunyoung kept trying to persuade the cat that said it didn't want to go, but ended up getting punched by ○○ instead.
"Hi~? Why has ○○ turned into a cat again?"
"I was having a hard time making the choreography..."
"True talent is innate..."
"Brother, I got hit for saying that."
Seungcheol petted ○○, saying he didn't want to force the cat to do it because it didn't want to.
At that moment, ○○ seemed to remember something and turned into a human.
"Oh... I'm surprised..."
"Butler! Just let me out for a day!"
"...where?"
"I have someone to meet."
"who?"
"A half-human, half-beast like me."
"...Are you a man?"
"huh"
"...."
"Why aren't you coming, Kim ○○? I have to start recording."
"Now~ Anyway, I'm going out tomorrow. I'm going out as a cat, so don't worry."
○○ didn't know. The problem isn't that I'm meeting a cat... but that the person I'm meeting is a man...
○○, who worked hard to help the kids that day and earn money for their meals, fell asleep in Jihoon's bed earlier than usual.
"...It's amazing that this little cat turned into a woman..."
"Lee Ji-hoon...Emergency"
"...?"
Seungcheol called Jihoon into the living room, saying it was an emergency.
Ji-hoon's expression hardened for a moment when he found out that ○○ was meeting a man tomorrow...
"...There's no way?"
"...Would we be okay? If she wants to meet me, I can't stop her."
"Ha...this is driving me crazy."
At that moment, Seungcheol spoke as if an idea had occurred to him.
"Ah! Jihoon."
"why?"
"Do you want to try tailing me...?"
"..."
"You're the one who hides the most without being noticed."
"..."
Ji-Hoon had no choice but to accept the offer and go back into his room, stroking ○○ on the blanket and thinking.
"I really hated it at first..."
When did we become so close...
The next morning, ○○ leisurely left the dorm after roughly greeting Jihoon and Seungcheol.
The outside world, without the butlers for the first time in a long time, looked beautiful.
○○, who had turned into a cat, was going somewhere.
Without even knowing that Jihoon was following me...
"...Even though he's half human, isn't he too dull?"
Ji-hoon followed ○○ around without any suspicion that he was being followed, and thought that if he were left alone, anyone would follow him. He followed ○○ again. And the place he arrived at was a deserted cafe.
Dingling
"○○ is here?"
A human man greeted ○○ as if he knew her.
I clearly said it was half-human, half-beast...?
"There are no people, so you just turn into a human?"
"That's what I was going to do"
○○ also relaxed and transformed into a human. Then, saying the weather was nice, he came out to a table outside the cafe. Jihoon quickly hid behind a flower bed.
"how have you been doing?"
"Me...you see? What about you? I heard from the cats in the alley that you got a butler?"
"Uh...that Seventeen. The singers?"
"Take good care of me?"
"huh"
Jihoon was secretly proud.
"At first I thought there were all these weird things... but it was better than I thought."
"...Still, be careful. You never know."
"..."
"When will humans abandon us?"
"...Let's stop talking about this. I'm going to fight."
"okay..."
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, but then it got better again.
They asked each other how they were doing and brought up old stories.
What kind of relationship did they have? Or maybe they're still in a relationship? I guess that guy is half-human, half-beast too... He's handsome...
At that moment, Ji-Hoon moved slightly and a small flowerpot fell.
"...?"
"..Lee Ji-hoon?"
"Ah... that... that..."
"Do you know anyone?"
"Uh. He's one of the butlers..."
"Ah...would you like to come and have a cup of coffee?"
"...Yeah. What..."
I didn't plan on this...
"Here."
"Ah... thank you."
"But really, why did Lee Ji-hoon come?"
"...you got cream on you"
"Oh, really?"
"Here, ○○"
The half-human, half-beast man took out a tissue.
"Oh, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Kim Yohan, ○○'s friend. I'm also half-human, half-beast."
"You're my favorite friend! Haha"
"...This is Lee Ji-hoon."
"This is my favorite butler!"
What kind of combination is this...?
