    "I hate Math!" Hanni yelled out, aggressively ruffling her hair in frustration.

"It's okay, Hanni! Just be positive!" Danielle held Hanni's hands but Hanni rolled her eyes.

"How can I be positive when I'm doing Math homework?" Hanni asked, taking her hands away from Danielle's.

Minji was just watching the two girls, occasionally giggling at their funny and stupid behaviour.

"You know what? I'll just do it another day. Right now I just want to rest and not think about school." Hanni said, pushing her homework away and leaning back against the seat.

"All right. Tell me if you need help." Danielle smiled at Hanni before looking over at Minji, who barely spoke the whole time they spent at the cafe.

"Are you okay, Minji? You've been very quiet." Danielle asked, a small but warm smile appeared on her small face.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just thinking about things." Those things are Haerin and how she's doing right now.

"You can tell me if anything is bothering you." Danielle's smile grew, causing Minji's lips to curve upwards.

"Thanks." Minji said, her smile still on her face.

"I've got to go." Hanni suddenly said placing her phone down onto the table.

"We can go walk you, Hanni." Danielle suggested and Hanni nodded with a smile. "That's fine." She stood up, taking her laptop, notebook and Math homework, immediately stuffing them into her bag. The others did the same before walking out of the cafe.

"Let's wait here, my mom is going to pick me up." Hanni said and stopped, looking down at her phone.

After a short while, a black car stopped in front of the three teenagers. "That's my mom. You guys want a ride home?" Hanni asked as she opened the passenger door.

"No, I'm fine." Minji answers and Danielle nodded, "I'll have a ride. See you tomorrow at school, Minji!" She waved cheerfully at the taller girl, opening the car door and sitting down in the back seat.

"See you, Minji." Hanni smiled at Minji before sitting down in the passenger seat, the car driving away just when Hanni closed the car door.

Minji was about to turn and walk to her house before she remembered that she can quickly go to a pet store and buy some cat stuff.

Minji just arrived at the large shop and opened the door, walking in and immediately smelling the strange smell of different types of animal foods.

She looked around and finally spotted a big sigh hanging from the ceiling which had the words 'for your cats' written on it in big letters.

Minji did a small jog towards the cat area and started walking once she entered one of the aisles.

The smell of cat food slightly disgusted Minji as she slowly walked through the aisles of cat food, soon remembering that she didn't know what breed Haerin was.

Great.

Minji continued looking at all the different breeds on the packaging of the food.

"Hello, Ms! Do you need help with anything?" A cheerful man approached the girl from behind, startling her.

"Oh! Uhm... I don't know which breed my cat is..." Minji awkwardly answered with a sheepish smile.

"That's not a problem! Please describe your cat and I'll try find out for you!" He said with a big grin.

"Well... She has long ginger fur. Pointy ears. Lots of fur. Really yellowish eyes. And kind of a grumpy face? I don-"

"This one?" The man shoved his iPad into Minji's face, showing a picture of a red Ragdoll cat.

"Yes! That's the one!" Minji's smile grew, slightly mirroring the man's standing in front of her.

"Great! That's a Ragdoll cat!" He answered enthusiastically.

"Thanks! Can you please show me where the cat food is?" Minji asked and the man nodded, walking away, Minji trailing behind him.

The taxi finally arrived at Minji's street.

She got out of the car and took her bag full of cat toys, snacks, cleaning products and more. Then the took a small white, fluffy cat bed and sighed once she saw the bag of cat food.

She should've just gotten the smaller ones.

She placed the cat bed and bag into the ground and pulled the large bag of cat food out of the car, shutting the door and watching the cat drive away.

She quickly took out her phone and checked where her mother was right now on a tracker app.

Luckily, her mother was away at the mall in their town. Minji quietly celebrated.

She then decided to text her spare phone, hoping Haerin was in her human form just to help her take these stuff back to the house.

Almost immediately, she received a text back.

'Yes?'

Minji smiled as she looked down on her phone, typing out a response.

'Can you help me? I'm just a few blocks away from the house. I'll unlock the door.'

'Okay'

Minji shoved her phone back into her pocket and quickly ran to the house, unlocking the door and opening it, revealing Haerin, who was currently holding the phone in her right hand.

"Help me take these into the house." Minji grabbed Haerin's wrist, slightly startling the shorter girl but she jogged with Minji anyway.

"What's this? Cat food?" Haerin asked as she looked down at the stuff.

"Yep! I bought stuff for you!" Minji's cute smile almost killed Haerin.

"You didn't have to..." Haerin awkwardly looked away, her heart beating rapidly.

"I did! Now help me before my mom gets home!" Minji lets go of Haerin's wrist and grabs the sides of the cat food, pulling it up and sticking her head out from the side to see where she's walking.

Haerin took the bag and cat bed before following the taller girl, her heart still beating out of her chest.

"You really didn't have to." Haerin told Minji, who was currently unpacking all the toys and cat products she bought.

"Yes, I did. Otherwise you'd starve if you didn't have any cat food. I can't give you every single piece of human food when you're in your cat form." Minji looked at Haerin with a small smile.

Both girls didn't say any words. Minji continued unpacking the products while Haerin watched, trying hard not to show her current emotions.

"Isn't this cute? It's a small mouse!" Minji placed the toy on Haerin's lap and started unpacking other toys.

Haerin only looked down at the mouse, hiding her smile.
