She would later love him too, taking her place next to him on the thrones of hell during the winters, only to return to flowers and grass fields for the summers. Persephone and Hades; a match made between heaven and hell. And now history repeats itself. With the thrones of hell yearning for a queen, and the time of the prophecy knocking at his doorstep, the King of the Vampires might finally fall in love. But his Queen-to-be is just as dangerous for him, as he is for her. A 19-year-old know-it-all, extremely passionate about science encounters the king of vampires, a species which has a centuries old vendetta with her kind. She's good at countering crazy problems that arises in everyday life, but how will she fight a man who defies everything she's learnt about the world; who's beyond mortal comprehension, who will rewrite the blueprints of her life? It's time I retell the tale of Hades and Persephone; the tale of two worlds, the Crimson Queen, and her Vicious King.

"They're here."
Chan's eyes widened as Hyun spoke those words, not believing it to be true at first. "Wha.. they? Who-" "The men.." Hyun whispered softly, his eyes still fixated on the duo that walked in their direction. Chan gulped as he knew Hyun was speaking the truth then. "The men.. who.. changed you?"
Hyun's little nod confirmed the anxiety inside of Chan, and he got goosebumps all over his body. He could see the fear in Hyun's expression, following his line of sight to see if he could spot whoever he meant. Hyun felt his heartbeat go up, reaching out to grab Chan's hand. Chan spotted the male duo as well, and for a moment they had made eyecontact.
Chan watched the males talk to eachother and then decided the only option was to run away. "Let's go. Let's run." Chan turned around and pulled Hyun along, beginning to run as fast as he could. Hyun stumbled the first few steps as he had been frozen with fear, but he quickly caught up and ran with Chan. They heard some shouting behind them, and Hyun whimpered as flashbacks shot through his mind. "No-"
Chan kept running, glancing back for a moment to see the males in full pursuit. He began running even faster, Hyun groaning softly as he tried to keep up. "Why are they here?!" Hyun said in between his pants, Chan shrugging and just turning another corner. "I don't know. Let's shake them off first." Hyun nodded and kept running, trying his best to keep this pace.
As they turned another corner, Chan was relieved as he saw a door to the outside. He bit his lip and kept running, slowing down slightly before reaching the door. He opened it and let Hyun go through the door first, glancing back at the males who just had turned the corner. He smirked and walked outside as well, but was then surprised by two strong arms wrapping around him.
He let out a scream out of shock, before he felt a rag of cloth being pressed against his face. He struggled against the person's grip, knowing they definitely had gotten Hyun already. The grip on him got even stronger, and he groaned, taking a deep breath of whatever substance the cloth was drenched in. It only took a few seconds before Chan felt his body go weak, everything going dark.
Chan's body was carried towards a van and put in it, next to a similarly unconscious Hyun. The van drove off, transporting the two boys to somewhere unknown.

Chan was woken up by the sound of a machine whirring, accompanied by soft whimpers. Chan furrowed his eyebrows, opening his eyes but being blinded by the bright tube lights above him. He groaned softly as he got used to the visual, and he heard the whimpers grow into whines. He began looking around, not recognizing where he was.
The room was well-lit, but looked incredibly poorly kept, as the cement walls had cracks in them. Chan turned his head to the side, now noticing the oxygen mask that was attached to his face, but he was quickly pulled out of his thoughts as he saw Hyun in a hospital-like chair besides him. A doctor of some sorts was hovering over the younger, a weird drilling machine inching closer and closer to Hyun's arm.
Chan wanted to get up to stop the doctor, but he then felt he was being restriscted. His hands, feet, waist and chest had been bound to the chair, so he had no chance in getting up. Chan groaned loudly and struggled against them, getting the attention of the doctor. "Ah, I see you've woken up. Good timing. You can watch the procedure before you experience it yourself."
Chan looked at Hyun, who looked back at him with a horrified expression. Chan could see the younger had been crying non-stop, his eyes puffy and red. Chan struggled against the straps once more, hating to be so useless. The doctor focused back on Hyun, but as the door of the room opened, the doctor stopped and faced the second man that had walked in.
"Sir, I didn't know you would be here so soon." "Oh shut up Wilson, you couldn't wait to torture him again. Leave the room and come back when I tell you to." The doctor nodded and turned off the drilling machine, walking out of the room then. The door was closed and the doctor looked at Chan and Hyun. "Well well well, we thought we would never see you two again. We've been looking for years after you escaped."
The man looked at Hyun, who was stil upset about the whole situation. Chan furrowed his eyebrows, trying to speak with oxygen mask on. "You- how- where are we?" The man walked to Chan, which made Chan freeze slightly, but luckily the man only helped him by removing the mask. "Repeat that for me please." "How do you know us? Where are we?" Chan looked at the man, curious, but also slightly afraid.
"I know this blonde haired boy because he is one of our experiments. I know you because you were one of our targets years ago. You are at our lab, where we create beings like your friend." The man smiled gently, glancing at Chan's body. "You would suit a big cat nicely.. sadly we don't have big cat dna yet.." Chan furrowed his eyebrows and took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry but.. experiments? You do horrible things to people to experiment? Is this governement approved?" The man laughed and shook his head. "Oh lord no, the government wouldn't approve of this until our experiments prove to be useful. We haven't reached that point yet, but your friend was one of our most succesful ones yet."
Hyun whimpered as he tried to get out of his restraints as well, his fear of being caught again and the traumatic memories of the past making him hate this place as much as he thought was possible. He never wanted this again, he never even wanted Chan to be involved with this, but it was all his fault. He shouldn't have stayed with Chan. He should've just stayed a cat, then he would've never been caught.
The man looked at Hyun, smirking slightly. "You were so succesful, we were so close to the end, and then you escaped. You ran off like a scared puppy." The man walked to Hyun and glared at him angrily. "You'll pay for that eventually." Chan looked at them and groaned. "Stay away from him you freak. He isn't your property." The doctor raised his eyebrow and looked at Chan.
"He isn't? Are you sure about that? I was the one to find his mangled little body, all alone, on the side of the road after a car crash. Parents dead, nobody around.. just this little boy who had no chance of surviving if I didn't take him." Chan listened to the doctor, his mind racing at 100 miles an hour as it felt like Chan could relate to the story. "A...a car crash? Where... where did you find him?" "Australia, your home country."
The doctor gasped as he realized Chan hadn't figured it out yet. "Oh I see.. you're confused. You still believe your childhood best friend to be dead. Well, be prepared for a hard wake up call. You're childhood friend is alive and well, right next to you as a hybrid." Chan now could connect all the puzzle pieces and he couldn't believe it. "What? You.. he.." Chan glanced at Hyun. "Hyunjin?"

Felix sighed as he once again got Chan's voicemail. "What is going on.. no phonecalls, no texts... Where is he?" Felix bit his lip and looked at Minho, who was scrolling through his phone, unaware of the situation. "Minho, are you able to call Chan?" Minho looked up at the other and raised an eyebrow. "What?"
Felix sighed and rolled his eyes. "Our friend has been missing for days and you aren't concerned?" Minho blinked and then sat up straight, going to call Chan's phone. "I am concerned, I just thought.. nevermind." Minho heard the ringing tone stop, but he also got Chan's voicemail. Minho shook his head and hung up. "Nope.. also voicemail. You think something bad might've happened?"
"Well it's unusual of him to not react for days.. He even missed our monthly chicken and beer night. That never happens." Minho nodded and sighed. "Should we check on him? In his apartment? Maybe he fell and couldn't get up." Felix shook his head. "No no, Hyun would know how to call us." Felix bit his lip and then got up.
"Come on, let's go check at his apartment. If he's not there, we'll go to the police." "The police? What will you say to them?" Minho got up as well and walked with Felix. "We'll tell them that our friends is missing and that we are worried. That's what we'll tell them and they better find him. Minho bit his lip and nodded. "Let's hope he is okay. Hyun too."
Minho furrowed his eyebrows. "Would it maybe have something to do with Hyun?" Felix looked at Minho, tilting his head. "What? Because he's a shapeshifter?" Minho blinked and froze. "A what?" Felix gulped, realizing only Chan and him knew what Hyun really was. Did he fuck up by telling Minho? "Uh.. nothing. Forget I said that.." Felix quickly began walking towards Chan's apartment, Minho following him with slight confusion.

"You can change?"
Hyun nodded, his head hiding in Chan's chest as he still held him tightly. Chan blinked and rubbed in his eyes, wanting to make sure he wasn't dreaming. "You- You're a human.." Chan carefully let his hands go over Hyun's head, stroking through his hair. "But..but how?" Chan carefully moved away a bit, looking at the male's face. "How does my cat change into a human?"
Chan let his eyes study the male who was still holding onto him thight. His eyes wandered down, until he saw something he didn't expect to see. He quickly looked back up, meeting the eyes of the young male. "You're naked!" Hyun nodded once again, not getting the seemingly embarassed look on Chan's face.
Chan took a deep breath and sat up, quickly covering Hyun with the blanket. "I- my.. my cat changed into a naked human male." Hyun watched Chan, trying to understand why Chan was suddenly acting different. Didn't he say that if Hyun was a human he would cuddle him and love him? Why wasn't he doing that? Hyun made a small sound, grabbing Chan's arm, wanting to pull him back.
Chan got out of Hyun's grip, getting up from the bed. He ruffled his hair, trying wrap his head around the situatioin. Hyun sighed and crossed his arms, watching Chan walk around. "You said you would cuddle me.." Chan looked at Hyun. "My cat turned into a human! How- why- I'm shocked!" "You said you would cuddle me and love me!" "You're fully naked!" Chan shook his head in disbelief. Hyun shrugged, not understanding why being naked was so weird. "So? I'm naked as a cat as well.." "That's- it's different okay?"
Chan walked back and forth for a bit, pondering on the situation. Hyun watched him silently, waiting for anything to happen. At one point, Hyun's patience was gone. He got up and stopped Chan. "Walking isn't helping anybody." Hyun wanted to hug Chan, but Chan held him back. "No- it it won't. Just.. just put on some clothes please." Hyun sighed and walked to Chan's closet, pulling out some clothes.
"Why did you not reveal yourself earlier?" "I.. I was scared. I haven't been safe to change for years.. until you took me in." "So, you were the one that ate my peanut butter? The one who took a shower and threw my clothes everywhere?" "Yeah.." Hyun turned around as he had changed into some sweatpants and a white tshirt. "Wha- are you gonna apologize for that?" "No." "You-"
Hyun walked to Chan, pouting slightly. "I had to entertain myself somehow. You should be lucky I didn't scratch up your furniture. Now cuddle me." Hyun opened his arms, ready to hug, but Chan stopped him once more. "Hyun you.. you're a shapeshifter." "Yes.." "How do you exist?" "I don't know, I just am this way. Now cuddle-" "My cat Hyun is a shapeshifter. But.. don't you have your own home?" "No. I lived on the streets. Cuddle-" "Hyun please- I'm trying to.. understand what is happening."
Hyun looked down. "I am a human, and a cat. I change. And I live with you. Why is that so hard to believe?" "Because shapeshifters only exist in movies!" Hyun tilted his head, Chan looking at him. "You don't know what a movie is, do you..." Hyun shook his head, Chan sighing deeply. "Let's just.. let's sleep. Let me sleep on it." Hyun felt let down, but agreed. They both lied back down in bed, Chan on one side, Hyun on the other. Hyun fell asleep quite quickly, but Chan kept pondering for hours until he lost the battle against exhaustion.
The next morning, it was very quiet in the apartment. Chan had gotten up after his alarm clock went off, Hyun turning around to sleep some more. Chan was kind of glad that Hyun was still sleeping, as it gave him time to think about the situation once more. Wouldn't he have to report Hyun to the police? No, Hyun said that he hadn't changed for years and that he had lived on the streets. The police might not even know what to do with him.
Chan sighed and took a sip of his coffee, glancing at Hyun's sleeping figure. "I'll talk again with him after work.." Chan nodded and quickly finished his breakfast, leaving to go to work. Hyun was awoken by the sound of the door closing and locking. He yawned and sat up, opening his eyes to look around. He pouted slightly as Chan was nowhere to be seen. Had he broken Chan's trust? Would Chan send him away? Hyun got worried and anxious, not wanting to be on the streets again.
Did he need to appeal to Chan? His naked body scared him off, maybe.. he needed to cover himself up completely? Hyun jumped off the bed, walking to the closet again. He searched through the clothes, not knowing what could be fit for covering him completely. Hyun sighed and looked around. Food? Chan loved food, should he cook something for him? Hyun walked to the fridge, only to find it nearly empty and with no food to prepare. Hyun closed the door with an annoyed sighed.
Did he smell? Hyun tried to take in his own scent, not sure if humans could smell what he could. Hyun walked to the bathroom, opening the different cabinets to look for something to scent himself with. Hyun grabbed several stuff, trying to read what the packaging said. "Hair dye? You die from this?" Hyun flipped the package. "Colour your hair a beautiful blonde.." Hyun furrowed his eyebrows.
"How does my hair colour itself?" Hyun read the rest of the package, finding the procedure that was written out strange, but interesting. "So.. you put paste in your hair, wait and then your hair changes!" Hyun smiled. "Cool, I can't do that on my own." Hyun opened the package, getting ready to entertain himself with this 'hair killing' product.

Chan couldn't seem to focus on his music, his mind still occupied with the shapeshifting male in his home. Chan sighed and grabbed his phone, calling his best friend. "Hey mate~!" "Hey Felix." "Wow, you sound very down. What's up? You want me to come over?" Chan smiled slightly, happy that Felix immediately understood the reason for his call.
"Yes that would be great." "Got it. I'm on my way. To your studio or to your apar-" "Studio! Studio- I'm in my studio." "Right.. to the studio it is. You better not be hiding something for me." "I'm not.." "Don't believe you. Anyway, see you soon!" Chan heard the click of the line being cut off. He put his phone down and leaned back in his chair.
"How am I ever going to convince Felix that Hyun is a shapeshifter? He'll say I'm crazy." Chan got up and walked out of his studio, to the sodamachine down the hallway. He got some soda for himself and for Felix, bringing it back to his own studio. "Hyun is not a normal cat... No.. Last night, Hyun turned into a human.."
Chan shook his head. "Felix, do shapeshifters really exist?" Chan sat back down in his chair. "Because my cat turned into a human last night and I know it's not a hallucination." Chan gasped and sat up right. "Maybe it's a hallucination! I have to show Felix... If he sees him then it's real, if he doesn't I'm just going crazy!" Chan smiled, opening his soda. He was happy to have come up with a plan, but suddenly froze. "What if it is real? Oh no.." Chan sighed deeply and leaned his head back. "This never ends!"
Felix arrived at Chan's studio a bit later, knocking on the door before coming inside. "Hey there." Chan smiled. "Hey Felix. Thanks for coming." Chan offered him the soda, taking a sip of his own. Felix took it and sat down on the second chair, looking at Chan. "So, why did you need me? You sounded down and you look down. As if somebody took the thing that you love most.."
Felix gasped. "Did Hyun die? I told you to feed him well!" Chan shook his head, chuckling softly. "No no, Hyun is fine. Better than fine actually. Uhm..so.." Chan took a deep breath. "Something happened last night and I'm pretty confused on what to do." "Right.. tell me. Tell me every detail." Chan nodded and started to explain what happened, trying to not sound crazy.
Felix listened to Chan with furrowed eyebrows, trying to make sense of the story. "So wait...Hyun changed into a human? How?" Chan shrugged. "I don't know, he just did. I was hugging him and then, I felt him grow?" Chan shook his head. "I know it sounds absolutely ridiculous, but I swear I'm not lying." Felix bit his lip and nodded. "Okay well.. let me think.." Felix drank a bit of his soda, silence filling the studio. Chan was nervous, thinking Felix would scold him or call him out for making up the whole thing.
Felix looked at Chan. "Can I see him?" Felix asked softly, actually curious to see if it was really real. "Well yeah I.. I thought of showing you because.. maybe I'm hallucinating. And if you can't see him, that means I'm just.. going crazy." "Well, I wouldn't say you were going crazy but, you do have an active imagination." Felix chuckled and got up. "Come on, show me the catboy."
➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶
Chan and Felix went back to the apartment, talking as they walked there. Felix tried to make jokes about, trying to think of ways how to prank people with a shapeshifter. Chan laughed and shook his head, not believing that Felix could think of all that stuff. "So you'd rob a bank and when the police catch you, you're just a cat lying on top of some old bags?" "Yes! Nobody would suspect a cat from robbing a bank." Chan nudged Felix with a chuckle. "I thought I was crazy." “Yah-"
Felix and Chan laughed. Chan put his key in the lock, opening the door to his apartment. Chan froze as he looked at his bed, seeing a fully naked Hyunjin on the bed, his head slightly covered with a towel. Felix had seen it too, blinking twice. "What the-" "Hyun! What the hell are you doing?!" Chan stepped further inside, trying not to look at Hyun's lower body.
"HYUN!" Hyun groaned and took a deep breath. "What.." Hyun mumbled, still half asleep. "Hyun please-" Chan walked to his closet and grabbed some pants, throwing them on top of Hyun. Hyun made a small sound and opened his eyes, moving the towel slightly to look at Chan. "What?" "You were naked again?"
Hyun sat up, the towel almost slipping of his head, but Hyun could grab it just in time. "Oh.. yeah.. sorry, I fell asleep." Hyun shrugged and suddenly froze, having picked up another scent. His head shot to the side, the towel shifting a bit by the sudden movement. He saw Felix standing in the doorway, who looked back at him with an equally surprised face.
Hyun gasped and looked at Chan. "You didn't tell me he was here!" "Did I have time to tell you?" "No.." "Now put those pants on please, and what is that towel for?" Chan signaled for Felix to come inside. Felix hesitated slightly, but walked in and closed the door. "I guess it's true. He is a shapeshifter." Chan nodded. "Yeah he is.. a very interesting one."
Hyun put on the pants and got up, walking to the bathroom. "One sec-" Chan sighed and reached out for Hyun, grabbing the towel. The towel slipped off of Hyun's head, revealing Hyun's blonde hair. Chan gasped. "Hyun what did you do?!"

Chan shivered as he stepped outside the studio building, pulling his hood over his head as it was pouring rain. It was another one of those dark rainy autumn days, and Chan always disliked how wet and windy it was. Almost as if the weather was punishing everyone who went outside. Chan took a deep breath, building up some courage before beginning to walk home. Luckily his apartment wasn't that far from the studio, but with heavy rain and strong wind, Chan would be soaked anyway.
Chan kept his head down, not having to look where he was going to know the way. He tried to walk as fast as possible, wanting to get out of the rain, but got distracted as he walked past a dark alley. Did he hear it right? Chan stopped and turned around, slowly walking to the alley. Chan then heard it again, a soft meow, coming out of the dark part of the alley. Chan took his phone out of his pocket, trying to shield it from the rain as much as possible. He turned on the flashlight, shining it around to get a better look.
The alley was filled with boxes, trash and some random neglected furniture. He took a few steps further, pointing his flashlight at every dark corner he could find. Another meow, this time a bit louder. Chan began to get curious, as the meows got louder everytime he stepped further into the alley. When his flashlight suddenly reflected against two small cat eyes, he knew he had found the source of the meowing. Chan carefully came closer, seeing a young cat, curled up against a box.
"Hey buddy.. are you okay?" The cat meowed again, hissing softly at Chan. Chan bit his lip. "I know, the rain is horrible.." Chan studied the cat, seeing one of the front paws covered in blood. The cat wasn't moving it or putting weight on it, and it didn't look good. Chan took a deep breath, reaching out to pet the cat. "Hey bud, I'm going to help you, okay?" The cat hissed louder, the ears folding back and its fur standing up. "I'm sorry, I'm not gonna hurt you. You don't have to be scared.."
Chan tried talking to the cat, knowing it probably couldn't understand, but he hoped his voice would calm the cat down. He gasped as the cat lashed out, scratching Chan's hand. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.." Chan shook his hand to forget the pain, quickly reaching out again to grab the cat. He luckily could grab the scruff of the cat, lifting it up as the cat went weak. Chan was happy he had watched a few veterinarian programs on TV, because now he knew that grabbing a cat's scruff wouldn't hurt it. It wasn't the best way, but Chan hoped he could help the cat atleast.
Chan opened his coat and stuffed the cat inside, holding it close to his chest. "Alright, bud. I uhm... I don't know any vets in this neighbourhood so.." Chan got up, the cat being clearly anxious, hiding more in Chan's coat. "I'll just take you home first before I find some vets.."
➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶
Chan closed his door behind him, the cat letting out a soft meow. Chan chuckled softly and opened his coat, carefully grabbing the cat to take it out. "Here we are.." The cat hissed softly as Chan carried it to his bed, quickly grabbing a nearby towel to dry the cat off. The cat meowed loudly, clearly being upset about the situation. "I'm sorry buds, I'm drying you off and then I'll take a look at your paw, alright?"
Chan slowly uncovered the cat's face from the towel, but let the rest of the cat's body stay under the towel. Chan smiled gently, looking into the cat's eyes. "Will you stay here? I'll grab my first aid kit." The cat meowed softly, panting slightly as it was anxious. Chan nodded and let go of the cat, quickly walking to his bathroom to grab the kit.
He was relieved as he came back as the cat had only moved to hide under the towel. He sat down on the ground next to the bed, carefully lifting the towel. "Are you okay? Can I look at your paw?" The cat looked at Chan, still panting. "You're scared.. poor kitty.." Chan petted the cat softly, hoping to calm it down. He glanced at the bloody paw, seeing a bit of barb wire tightly wrapped around it, the spikes pricking deep into the skin.
Chan took a deep breath, covering the cat's head with the towel but leaving the paw uncovered. The cat lied down, and Chan felt like the cat was allowing him to treat his paw. Chan opened the first aid kit, getting out the necessary things, beginning to carefully and lovingly help the cat.
Chan chuckled as he looked at his improvised cat bandage, biting his lip because he was not sure if it would stay on. "Well.. If you don't move, it might be alright." Chan peeked under the towel, softly petting the cat with a smile. "Thank you for letting me help you. I hope you aren't in too much pain now." Chan heard the cat mew softly, letting him stay under the towel to rest. He got up and closed the kit, bringing it back to the bathroom and throwing away the used stuff.
He felt his stomach rumble, putting a hand on his belly. "Hm.. should I order something?" Chan walked to his small kitchen, which was nothing more than two counters, a sink, a small stove and a minifridge. He opened his fridge, seeing how empty it was. "Well.. I guess that means yes.." Chan glanced over at his bed, looking at the towel that showed the countours of a cat. "I guess you must be hungry too.. but no pet stores are open at 11 at night.." Chan closed his fridge, opening his cabinets, finding a can of SPAM.
"Hmm... I'm not sure if this is healthy but.. it's meat.." Chan took the can, opening it and putting a bit in a bowl, mashing it so it was broken into smaller pieces. He walked to the bed, lifting the towel slightly. "Hey buds, do you want this?" Chan offered the bowl to the cat, and to his suprise the cat sat up, beginning to eagerly eat the SPAM. "Good. Good kitty." Chan smiled and sat down next to the cat, grabbing his phone. He shivered as he remembered his wet clothes. "Right.. after I order I'll take a shower." Chan took a deep breath, ordering some food for himself. "Twenty minutes... that's enough to shower." Chan quickly undressed, stepping into the shower to warm himself up after being soaked by the rain.

After dinner, which was more of a midnight snack, Chan locked his door and shut the curtains. He climbed into bed, the cat lying at his feet. Chan smiled and snuggled into the blankets, warming up slowly. Chan closed his eyes and sighed, relaxing as he began to fall asleep. He felt the cat move a bit, curling up against him, but he was already to sleepy to react. That night, Chan dreamt about something in his past, stirring around as he slept. It wasn't a nightmare, but it wasn't a happy dream either. It was uncomfortable, a bad memory.
He then felt arms wrap around him, someone spooning him from behind. He made a small sound, thinking it was part of the dream. Chan felt the memory disappear again as he felt the person hugging him more tightly. Chan let out a deep breath, smiling in his sleep as he then got a nice dream. The rest of the night he had the feeling he was constantly being hugged, but just before he woke up in the morning, the feeling disappeared. Chan's alarm went off, waking him up from his deep sleep.
Chan groaned and smashed the button, silencing the alarm for the next few minutes. He sighed and hid his face in the pillow, not really in the mood to get up yet. As he felt something soft and fluffy in his face, he opened his eyes, seeing the cat rubbing up against him. He chuckled and softly patted the cat. "Morning buddy. I'm glad to see you're feeling better." Chan sat up and ruffled his hair, petting the cat as he slowly woke up.
"You know, I had a weird dream last night.. as if someone cuddled me.. it was nice though." Chan hummed and smiled. "Sadly enough it was just a dream. You're just a little kitty, you can't spoon me, hm?" Chan looked at the cat, who meowed at him. Chan nodded. "Yeah.. breakfast. You want some more of that SPAM?"

After Hyun had tried to explain what he had seen in his nightmare, Chan sighed deeply. "So.. you're saying.. that you were made? By humans?" "Yeah.. men in white suits. With.. silver sharp things." Hyun stroked over his right arm, rolling up the sleeve of his pj shirt.
Chan watched him, now noticing small scars all across his arm. Chan reached out to stroke over them. "I never noticed these before.." "I know they are there but.. I never knew where they were from.." Hyun bit his lip and looked at Chan.
"It's weird... right? Humans making me a shapeshifter?" "It's definitely something out of a scifi movie.." Chan took a deep breath and stroked over Hyun's hair. "But I am kind of glad you are starting to remember. Maybe we can see if we can find.. maybe even report them.."
Hyun nodded and relaxed, pulling down his sleeve again. He looked at Chan, pulling him back in for a hug. "Thank you. I'm sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night." "Hey, don't apologize for that. Nightmares happen." Chan stroked over Hyun's back, slowly lying back down with him.
They moved slightly so they were in a comfortable position, Hyun's head resting on Chan's shoulder, Chan's arms wrapped tightly around Hyun's smaller frame. Hyun closed his eyes, taking in Chan's scent and smiling. "My Chan." Chan chuckled and nuzzled his nose in Hyun's hair.
"My Hyun." They both smiled cutely, happy to have eachother. Even though Hyun had only come into Chan's life a few weeks ago, it felt like they already knew eachother.
➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶
Hyun giggled as they walked outside, being happy that he finally got to leave the apartment again. He hadn't been outside ever since he came to live with Chan, as he couldn't sneak out as a cat and was also too happy to run away from Chan.
Chan chuckled at the big smile on Hyun's face, holding his hand so he wouldn't run off. "Are you excited to go to the mall with me?" "Yeah! I wonder what kinds of stuff they have." Hyun looked at Chan, humming softly as he thought. "How much food.. clothes? Oh, they have books and toys as well, right?"
"They have almost anything you can imagine. Just wait until we get there." Chan walked to the mall with Hyun, who just couldn't stop bouncing around happily. Chan didn't let go off Hyun's hand, scared he would either spot something and run off, or not watch the traffic and get hit by a car. Hyun didn't mind holding the older's hand, as long as they were going to the mall.
When they entered the mall, Hyun gasped and looked around with big eyes. Seeing all the shops and signs with lots of colour, the music in the background, all the people who were shopping.. Hyun was amazed by the existence of such a place.
"Wow... there's so many stuff.." Chan nodded and lead Hyun further into the mall. "Let's start with clothes first, okay? You can choose things you like, but I can help you put some outfits together if you want." Hyun nodded and glanced at Chan. "If you have good fashion sense. You wear mostly black."
Chan was slightly offended by Hyun's remark, but let it slip and just took Hyun to the first clothing store. Hyun picked out some basics at first, but as Chan encouraged him to pick whatever he wanted, he discovered Hyun picked up some more unique choices as well.
They tried some things on in the fitting room, Chan needing to help Hyun to figure out how some items would sit on his body. They went through several stores like this, already having about five shopping bags after an hour or two. Hyun was still excited, and it seemed as if his energy was everlasting.
Chan took a deep breath as he held onto the shopping bags with one hand, the other still holding Hyun's hand. "Where to next? We can start shopping for shoes or accessories if you want.." "No, maybe later. I want some good pj's." Chan chuckled and nodded.
"Alright, more clothes it is." Chan smiled and just followed Hyun around, letting him decide the stores. They went on for another hour, until Chan felt his stomach begin to grumble. "Hyun, shall we go get something to eat? We can continue afterwards.."
Hyun stopped walking, looking at the older. "Oh.. you hungry? Are there places here where you can get food?" "Yes. The food court. Come on, let's go there now, alright?" Hyun bit his lip, still wanting to explore the rest of the mall, but also feeling his own hunger a bit. As they walked to the food court, Hyun's eyes spotted a bright coloured store. "Chan.. can we please go there first?"

Chan sighed, having given in to Hyun's pouts and whines. It would was just a small store with brightly coloured things, it couldn't take that long, right? Hyun smiled as they entered the store, looking around like a kid in a candy shop. "Waah, look at all these things.. Oh my gosh!" Hyun squealed, pulling Chan along.
He pointed at some face stickers, wanting to try them out. Chan grabbed Hyun's hand, keeping him from doing it right then and there. "Hyun, you can only try these things once you buy them." "Then let's buy them!" Hyun said happily, grabbing a few of the different kinds.
Chan bit his lip, not even wanting to think about the amount of money he had spend on Hyun only on this day. Hyun had grabbed some more things as Chan was lost in thoughts, beginning to wonder what kind of store this was. "Chan.. what store is this?"
Chan blinked and looked at the younger. "Hm? What kind of store?" Chan looked around, now also wondering as he couldn't figure out from just looking at the products. "Let's go ask an employee." Hyun nodded and couldn't stop looking at the colourful accessories.
Chan guided Hyun towards the counter, smiling friendly at the employee. "Hello, may I ask what kind of store this is?" Hyun was trying to hold onto the things he had grabbed, as he was secretly trying to put some hair clips in his hair.
The employee looked up, smiling back at Chan. "It's a decora kei store." "Uhm.. what is decora kei?" Chan tilted his head. The employee chuckled. "It's a Japanese fashion style, which revolves around rainbow themed outfits, lots of accessories and looking extremely cute."
Hyun smiled as he had managed to put the hair clips in his hair. "Chan look!" Chan and the employee focused their attention on Hyun, the employee nodding her head. "They look really cute on you. Those stickers you have would fit it nicely as well."
Chan sighed softly, wanting to scold Hyun for putting the hair clips in, but as he heard the employee he let it go. "They do look cute." "I like this style. Decora kei?" The employee nodded at Hyun. "Yes, that's what it is called. You do fit the style pretty well. Your hair colour compliments it nicely."
Hyun blushed softly at the compliments, looking at Chan. Chan smiled and ruffled Hyun's hair, pulling him close for a hug. The employee grabbed a folder, handing it to Hyun. Hyun grabbed it with a shy smile, trying to read what was on it.
"We are currently looking for people who might be interested in doing a photoshoot to promote the style. If you're interested, you can reach the people who are on the folder." Hyun smiled and nodded. "That sounds coo-" Chan interrupted Hyun by grabbing the things from his hands and putting them on the counter. "We'd like these please. We'll think about the photoshoot."
Chan had panicked a bit, being afraid to let Hyun do anything public. He didn't know if the men who had changed Hyun were still after him. Plus, sharing Hyun's beauty with more than just his friends.. would Chan get jealous?
Chan paid for the stuff, putting them in one of their shopping bags and pulling Hyun out of the store. Hyun whined softly, but followed the older. "Chan~ Why~" "Just.. let's go eat, okay? I'm really hungry." Hyun huffed and nodded, pouting slightly.
As they resumed their journey to the food court, Hyun spotted some men walking through the mall. He stopped walking and froze, the men's faces triggering a memory. Chan felt Hyun stop and stopped as well, looking at him. "Hyun? What's wrong?" Hyun's eyes showed a hint of fear, glancing at Chan for a second before looking back at the men. "They're here."

Hyun sat on the bed as Chan inspected his hair. Chan had scolded him only moments before, but Hyun knew Chan did it out of worry. The way he checked Hyun's hair and head for any bleaching damage made it clear that he was worried about Hyun's well-being. Hyun felt bad nonetheless, as he only was curious and in a playful mood. He never wanted to upset Chan.
Chan sighed and stroked over Hyun's back when he was done. "Well, it seems like it went well, somehow. You didn't damage anything." Hyun glanced at Chan, pouting slightly. "Sorry.." "I forgive you, Hyun. But, if you ever think of doing something like this again, let me know. We'll do it together."
Chan smiled gently, looking at Felix, who was still standing by the door. "Uhm so.." Chan got up and cleared his throat. "Felix, meet Hyun.. in human form. Hyun, meet Felix." Hyun looked up and smiled slightly at Felix, feeling a bit shy. Felix smiled back, still letting everything sink in. "So Hyun.. a shapeshifter huh?" "That's what Chan calls it. I'm just me. I've always been like this."
Felix nodded and decided to come closer. "And now you dyed your hair." "I thought it was just colours, actually. I read the box and thought I wanted to try it." Felix chuckled at Hyun's shy akward smile. "Don't worry mate, we all did something on a whim and regretted it later." Hyun glanced at Chan, who looked at the two of them talking. "Well actually, I kind of like this colour." Felix smiled and hugged Hyun. "Then that's great!"
Felix stayed over a while, chatting with Hyun and Chan. During their conversation, Chan and Felix discovered how little Hyun actually knew about being a human. Chan tilted his head as Hyun said he had never seen a computer. "Shut up.. you haven't?" Chan gasped as Hyun shook his head, looking at the two other males in confusion. "I seriously haven't. I don't even know what it should be."
Felix smiled and ruffled Hyun's hair. "Oh you're so innocent. You'll have a lot to learn." Hyun shrugged and looked at Chan, beginning to get nervous. Chan saw the hint of anxiety in Hyun's eyes and he took a deep breath. "Alright. We'll do everything at a slow pace. Get him used to stuff. Don't worry Hyun." Chan smiled gently at Hyun, and was suprised as Hyun leaned against him, hiding his face in Chan's shoulder.
Chan gently stroked over Hyun's head, gliding his hand through Hyun's blonde hair. "My Hyun.." Felix raised an eyebrow as he watched them. "Your Hyun? Seems like your worries from earlier have faded.." Chan looked at Felix with big eyes, a bit shocked at his remark. "Felix- I.." Chan sighed and wrapped an arm around Hyun, keeping him close. "I am your Hyun.. as a cat I am.." Hyun said softly, moving closer to Chan. "It's just a choice if I'm yours as well when I'm human.."
Chan bit his lip and stroked over Hyun's back. "Don't say that.." "No, it's true. You were scared of me." "I was not.." Chan cupped Hyun's face, looking into his eyes. "I was caught off guard by my cat that turned into a full human. I.. I had to adjust to it. I had to know if it was real." Chan smiled as he softly booped Hyun's nose. "You're mine. Cat or human."

Days passed by as Chan and Hyun lived together. Hyun was easier with transforming back and forth, although he sometimes changed unknowningly as he slept. This caused some interesting situations, as the two were getting used to snuggling close to eachother while sleeping. Chan always felt his heart skip a beat when he woke up next to a naked boy, but he understood it and never said anything of it.
He usually let Hyun sleep in as he got ready for work, stroking his hair or ocassionally placing a small kiss on Hyun's head before he left. Hyun spent his days exploring the apartment and everything in it, curiously studying all the items he hadn't seen before. Chan was therefore always bombarded with questions about several things as soon as he got back home. Chan loved having Hyun around, as the lonely feeling he had had for years slowly began disappearing.
He would always told Hyun all the answers he needed, and found it cute how Hyun would nod and stare at an object as he finally understood its purpose. Hyun disliked some objects and some foods. One time Chan had come home with an eggplant, wanting to use it in their dinner, but Hyun immediately had his doubts about it.
After that night, Chan swore himself to remember that Hyun hated eggplants. Although Hyun looked adorable as he tasted the vegetable and his whole face had contorted into one of disgust, Chan luckily could keep himself from making fun of it.
As Chan came home one day, he froze as he saw Hyun dressed up in his old clothes. Hyun was looking in the mirror, the familiar frown on his face as he studied the unknown pieces of fabric. Chan closed the door behind him and smiled. "I'm home~" Hyun looked up and smiled. "Chan!" Hyun happily bounced towards him, showing off the clothes as he stood in front of him.
"What do you think?" Hyun posed for Chan, smiling happily. "I don't know if I'm wearing it right, but I found them in between your other stuff." Chan chuckled and looked at Hyun, taking in his outfit. "Maybe we should get you your own clothes." "What?" Hyun tilted his head, looking down at the clothes. "Are they bad?" Chan smiled and ruffled Hyun's hair, pulling him to the bed.
"No, they're okay. But when you have your own clothes, you can mess around with them as much as you like." Chan made Hyun sit down on the bed. "We'll go shopping for them tomorrow, okay?" Hyun looked at Chan, his lips forming in a pout. "You don't like it when I'm wearing your clothes?" "No no, that's not the reason. Just.. You're wearing something I'd rather not have you wear." Hyun nodded slightly. "And that is?"
Chan leaned down slightly, taking off a necklace that Hyun had put on. "This necklace is special to me. Someone important to me gifted it a long time ago.." Hyun looked at the necklace, gasping softly. "Oh- I'm sorry. I didn't know.." Chan patted Hyun's shoulder. "Just change back into something normal while I make dinner, okay? We'll take the whole day tomorrow to buy you your own stuff." Hyun nodded and got up, changing into other clothes. Chan sighed before putting away the necklace and walking to the kitchen.

Chan pulled the blanket over himself and Hyun, who had already drifted off to sleep. Chan looked at Hyun's sleeping face, stroking a strand of hair out of the younger's face. Chan watched Hyun, until he began dozing off as well. Just before he drifted off, he snuggled close to Hyun, wrapping an arm around him. The hours went by, until one of them started to stir.
This time however, it was not Chan, but Hyun. Hyun stirred a bit, his face changing into one of discomfort. He made small sounds, which turned into groans and mumbles. He pushed around, shoving Chan away. Chan groaned and got woken up, rubbing in his eyes as he tried to open them. Hyun resisted himself against Chan again, making Chan sit up out of worry.
"No.. no please.." Hyun mumbled, a soft whimper leaving his mouth. Chan looked at Hyun, stroking over his head. "Hyun, Hyun it's okay. It's just a dream." Chan wondered what was going on, never having seen Hyun like this. Hyun kept wriggling around, his breathing getting irregular. Chan bit his lip, trying to shake Hyun awake.
"Hyun come on.." "No... No it hurts.." Hyun whined and wriggled around a bit more violently. "What hurts? Hyun, just wake up!" Chan raised his voice slightly. He tried to pin down Hyun's arms, and right at the moment he had them down on the bed, Hyun gasped for air, his eyes shooting open. "STOP!"
Hyun breathed heavily, his eyes darting around, not focused on anything. Chan let go of Hyun, stroking over his head. "Hyun shh, it's okay. It was just a nightmare.. Shh.." Chan tried to shush Hyun, trying to calm him down. Hyun's eyes focused on Chan, still shaken by his nightmare.
Chan smiled gently and pulled Hyun into a hug, holding him thight. He stroked over Hyun's back, humming softly. "It was just a nightmare. It can't hurt you anymore. It wasn't real." Hyun was trembling, still calming down. He was quiet for a while, just trying to get his breathing back to normal. Chan kept holding him, stroking through his hair.
Chan moved a bit so they were in a comfortable position. He felt Hyun slowly relax in his embrace, his breathing going back to normal. Chan let out a small sigh of relief, still stroking through Hyun's hair. Hyun took a deep breath, wrapping his arms around Chan.
"It wasn't a nightmare.." Hyun spoke softly, tightening his grip slightly. "It was memory.." Chan tilted his head, nodding slightly. "Just like mine. I guess we both get bothered by our past." Hyun shook his head slightly. "Mine's different.." Chan smiled. "Because they are in your cat form?" "No.." Hyun moved away from Chan, looking at him.
The bit of moonlight that shone through the window lit up both of their faces. Hyun looked into Chan's eyes, doubting if he should tell about what he had seen. He was scared of his own memories, as this was the first time in a while he had remembered a bit of his past. Hyun looked down, biting his lip.
Chan didn't get why Hyun acted so differently. "Is there something wrong? Should I not have talked about it?" Hyun shook his head once more. "No no.. Chan... I'm made." Chan huffed. "What do you mean, made? Everybody is made, by their parents." "Not like that- I-" Hyun looked into Chan's eyes. "I'm not supposed to be a shapeshifter. I'm not a cat." Chan furrowed his eyebrows. "What in the hell are you talking about?" "I was made to be a cat! They made me a shapeshifter!" Chan looked at Hyun. "Who are they?"
