^^Hyunjin's current hair fits perfectly for this story^^

>>>· ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ꕥ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ ·<<<

Hyunjin knows he shouldn't be jealous, especially when he made the decision himself. Of course his decision was based off of someone else's, but that's besides the point. At least, he thinks it is. With nothing but a huff, Hyunjin stares at all his band mates cooing over a feline on the floor of their dorm.

Hyunjin wouldn't mind it if this event had taken place at the other dorm, but no, it and everyone had to be dragged to his dorm. He watched the feline roll, it's ginger and white tail flicking about as it did so. Hyunjin loved him, he really did, but all the attention he was getting was starting to piss Hyunjin off. Yet again, he couldn't help but blame himself for his decision.

Minho stopped rolling and made the brave decision to chirp at Hyunjin, his bandmates squealing at the sound. But Hyunjin had to hide his eye roll because honestly, even though he knew the truth, he felt like Minho was bragging. His hyung always chose to shift when everyone was around, and so Hyunjin was stuck with nothing to do but watch.

As he would watch his stomach would flip around and he'd play with his hands. He wanted to be in Minhos spot every time.

But he was scared.

Minho had so easily been accepted as a shifter, and even more so when he'd told them he was a Norwegian Forest Cat. Main word there, Cat, it was a perfect fit for Minho and even in his shifted form, Cat Minho seemed so normal.

But cat Hyunjin? That wasn't normal and whose to say his bandmates will accept such a change so easily again? What if they scream and shout, kick and punch, kick him out of the group and house! His mind couldn't help but build up the negativity. So he kept himself in his shell and only shifted when he knew he was alone. Sometimes he'd shift when it was just him and Minho, and the two would bounce around whoever's dorm they stayed at.

But never around anyone else. He was too scared. So even as the jealousy built in his stomach and the anger boiled in his head, he was to blame.

"Hyunjin come play!" Jisung called out towards him. It was a nice offer, and made Hyunjin want to shift right then and there and pounce on one of Minhos fake mice.

"Nah i'm good Sung. His fur makes my nose itch." Hyunjin had casually replied. The lie slid so easily off his tongue that he internally smirked.

"And you're sure you aren't allergic to cats?" Felix added after tuning into the conversation. A cat allergic to cats, wouldn't that be funny! Alas it was a lie anyway, so the lie just continued. "Nope, my nose is just sensitive."

Felix and Jisung hummed and sync, but turned their attention back to the cat that was currently on its back legs reaching for a toy Changbin waved in the air. It was such a tease and Hyunjin's instincts had to be held back.

Situations like this happened at least a couple days a week. And as their schedule winded down more and more, Hyunjin found himself alone less and less. He was losing his shifting time and was getting ornery because of it. It even got to the point in which things that would settle his nerves got difficult.

Like dancing.

It wasn't uncommon for Hyunjin to make a mistake, heck it wasn't uncommon for anyone to make one! But recently, Hyunjin's mistakes upset him more than they ever had. He was a man that tried to keep a calm mind and push things off as long as he tried harder, but now he'd mess up and let out an angry huff.

He'd mess up again and quietly curse to himself. Again and he'd curse a bit louder and roll his eyes. Again and it was an angry foot stomp. Again and again and he probably will do all of the above at once. It wasn't pretty. And as his mood soured up, his temper with everyone else would go haywire.
