"Charm!" You called out softly as you walked through your apartment. "Charm! Come here baby!" You called again, your voice becoming a slightly higher pitch as you tried to get your cat to come out of wherever she was hiding.
Checking her normal spots, but not seeing her, you felt your heart rate spike. Walking around your apartment you continued calling out to her, your panic rising as you couldn't seem to find her anywhere.
Entering your living room, your eyes landed on the window, it was open only a small amount. It was normal for you to open it, and Charm, in your three years of having her, a few months of which were in this apartment, had never even attempted to get out, so why now?
Running over to the window, panic now obvious as you feared she had been gone for too long, you opened the window and stuck your head out.
Your eyes immediately landed on Charm as she sat on the sidewalk below. "Charm!" You called out, watching as she turned around and looked up at you, meowing softly.
After a few attempts of trying to get her to climb back up, and her stubbornly refusing. You ran down to the street as fast as you could, relieved to find her sill sitting on the sidewalk when you got there.
Getting back into your apartment, after chastising her the whole way back, you made sure the window was closed before you allowed yourself to relax.
"You lost your window privileges, I hope you don't miss fresh air too much" You spoke to her as she sat at your feet, an innocence in her eyes you couldn't resist. "Maybe I can get a screen installed."
You sighed after a moment before walking into the kitchen, Charm following close behind "How about some dinner then you jerk."
As you stared at Charm ignoring her food, you feared maybe she was sick, or maybe got hurt on her adventure outside.
"Or did someone pity you and feed you?" Charm stared blankly at you "Is that why you went out? You smelled food on someone who went by?"
Getting no response you shook your head "That have better been a one-time attempt young lady."
You left Charms food on the ground as you began to settle for the evening, hoping the stressful event of the day would not be repeated again.
A few days had passed since Charm and her adventure outside, and you had nearly forgotten about it. Though the window had remained closed.
Until now that is.
You had gotten distracted and forgot your food on the stove, causing the food to burn, and smoke to fill your kitchen. Rushing to the window to open it, you chased out all the smoke, but not before setting your fire alarm off.
After ten minutes of manic fanning and two failed attempts and shutting the alarm off, you plopped down on your couch, breathless.
"So much for lunch." You mumbled as you looked around, noticing a light smokey air still lingering in your apartment.
Your eyes landed on the window before the sudden remembrance of Charm popped into your head. "Oh no."
Running to the window you looked out, just in time to see her familiar fluffy tail disappearing down the sidewalk.
"Charm! You yelled out in panic before rushing from your apartment.
Minho hummed softly to himself as he walked back to his dorm, grocery bags in hand and thoughts bouncing from various things. He looked around him as he got a whiff of smoke 'Smell's like someone burned their lunch.' he thought to himself with a smirk.
Suddenly hearing a drawn out meow from behind him, Minho stopped and turned around, spotting a familiar cat charging towards him.
"Oh, you again!" He said softly as he stopped and crouched down, petting the cat as she began rubbing against his legs. "Did you escape again?" He asked with a smirk, but worry sat in his chest hoping she hadn't gotten too far from her home.
His ears caught on another noise as he heard a panicked yell. Looking up, another moment passed before he heard someone calling out a second time. Suddenly, from around the corner, he watched as you appeared, panic on your face.
As your eyes landed on him and then to the cat, he saw relief wash over your face and he almost smiled.
"Charm!" You called out, exasperation in your tone as you jogged up to him.
Minho stood up, his eyes now glued to you as he took you in.
You were disheveled, obviously from chasing your cat, but you were still attractive. As your eyes met his, he felt his chest tighten a bit as you smiled in greeting, though you held an awkwardness in it as you looked at Minho.
Charm meowed before she ran up to you, rubbing against your legs, you immediately crouched down and picked her up "Why did you do that again?" You asked softly as you held her tight to your chest before looking up and meeting Minho's eyes again.
It was now that Minho realized he had not stopped staring at you. Afraid he might freak you out, he smiled and cleared his throat softly.
"So she does have an owner then."
You smiled and nodded "Yes" you let out a soft laugh "I swear she doesn't do this often, just twice, now, and both were recent."
"Yeah, we've met before." Minho said with a chuckle as he looked at Charm.
"You have?"
He nodded as he met your eyes again, he motioned towards the road you had come from "When I was coming back from the store, just like today, she appeared in the street. I pet her for a while, and even gave her some cat treats, which I hope you don't mind." He added on quickly.
You shook your head and smiled "No, I don't! Though that explains why she didn't eat her dinner." You thought for a minute before you spoke softly "Do you, walk by often, by chance?"
He nodded and you let out a knowing hum "I think she has a crush." You mumbled as you kissed her head before looking at Minho with a light panic in your eyes, which you followed up with an awkward laugh.
Minho smiled as he let out a chuckle, taking a step closer as he reached out and quickly pet Charm's head "You called her Charm?"
You nodded your head "Yeah, 'cause she's my good luck charm, though recently she's testing her luck."
Minho chuckled "And what's your name?"
You met his eyes, and felt a bit surprised before you smiled "Oh, Y/n"
His smile softened and you felt your heart thump "I'm Lee Minho."
You nodded politely "It's nice to met you Lee Minho, thank you for being kind to Charm." You added on softly, your voice suddenly becoming shy.
He tilted his head a bit as he smiled, his eyes going back and forth between you and Charm "No problem."
After a moment of silence you cleared your throat "I should get going, I don't think I locked my door behind me when I ran out." You chuckled.
He continue to smile widely at you as he nodded. You took a step back as you gave him another smile "Bye."
He gave you a slight bow as he let out a soft laugh "Bye."
Turning, you began walking away hugging Charm tightly to your chest, probably a bit more than you intended as she squirmed against you. But your heart was pounding so heavy in your chest you barely noticed.
As you rounded the corner, you looked back, and felt your heart leap when you saw Minho still standing in the same spot, watching you with a soft smile still present on his face..
You quickly looked away, trying not to smile as you walked faster back to your apartment.
Looking down at Charm you spoke in a whisper. "So is he the reason why you keep escaping?" she meowed softly and you nodded "I don't blame you honestly."
When you had first rounded the corner, and saw him crouched down petting Charm, your breath seemed to disappear. You hadn't expected to see someone so gorgeous, not to mention kind. Especially since you were out of breath, probably visibly disheveled, and smelling like smoke.
You clenched your eyes shut, hoping he didn't think you looked crazy. As you made your way back into your apartment, you wondered if you'd see him again. You wanted to see him again, but you hoped next time you wouldn't be in such shambles.
Minho wasn't really sure why he couldn't stop staring at you, or how he couldn't look away as you left. He wasn't sure why he wanted to call out to you as you did, wanting to know more about you.
When you looked back at him as you rounded the corner, and he swore he saw a smile starting to form, he felt his heart clench.
After you disappeared from view, and he finally continued on his way home, he wondered if he would see you again. He knew what street you must live on. So maybe, he could make a few more extra trips to the store this week? Just in case he might see you again.
As you grunted, struggling to open your door, arms full of grocery bags, your eyes moved around your apartment before landing on Charm. She was staring forlornly out of the window, which now had a security screen on it.
Dropping a bag, you cursed under your breath before you not so gently dropped the rest of your bags onto the floor. Suddenly, out of the corner of your eye, a small brown figure darted past.
"Wha-" Looking to see Charm dart down the hall, you almost tripped as you ran after her, slamming your door behind you "Charm!"
You called her in desperation as she made her way down the stairs and towards the street. "What had gotten into you!" You yelled out, though in the back of your mind, behind the panic, was the thought of Minho. Did she see him out the window? Is she looking for him?
As your feet hit the pavement outside, your question was answered as you saw her running up to a familiar figure, who was staring at her with a look of surprise and amusement.
Minho's eyes followed where she had come from, landing on you as you appeared breathless and distraught from the nearby building.
You gestured your arms in bewilderment as you jogged over, Minho couldn't help the giggle that escaped him.
This was the fifth time he had walked down this street since he had met you last week. And every time his eyes scanned the area for Charm, and for you, always wondering how nearby you were, and if he might run into you again.
As you approached him, his eyes scanned over you, you were much more put together than last time, though a bit breathless. As you smiled sheepishly at him his heart leapt in his chest.
Butterflies erupted in your stomach as you approached him "Hello again" You said with a soft breathy laugh.
"Hello." He said with a wide smile, that made your heart jump.
Grabbing Charm and scooping her up into your arms you looked up at your apartment window "She must have seen you walking by, she darted out the door as I was bringing in groceries."
He let out a soft laugh as he looked at Charm who meowed softly. Reaching out to pet her he didn't stop smiling "My existence seems to be causing you trouble." He joked as he met your eyes.
You smiled and shook your head "I don't think I'd call it trouble."
"No?" He asked with a soft tilt of his head, causing your ears to grow hot.
"Maybe...just a added excitement I wasn't expecting?"
He smiled, his own ears growing hot, he hoped his hair was long enough to cover them so you didn't notice.
Shyly looking down at Charm, you smiled softly "I don't know why she decided to grow so attached to you."
"Cats tend to like me. I have three myself."
"Oh?" You showed obvious curiosity at this, which made his heart warm.
He nodded "They live with my parents though."
"Oh." You nodded in understanding, you had only recently found a place to live that allowed you to have cats. "Maybe that's why she likes you, she knows she can trust you. But, she seems to have developed separation anxiety." You added on jokingly.
Minho grinned, speaking before he really though about it "Maybe we should fix that huh?"
Your eyes darted up to his, as he smiled with a raise of his brow. His heart was pounding but he was hiding his nervousness.
"Maybe you could bring her out every once and a while for a visit? Maybe she wont keep escaping."
Your heart was pounding in your chest at the idea. You smiled, hoping your face wasn't flushing too much. "Or, you could come in and visit her yourself on occasion."
You were surprised at yourself for suggesting it, but as Minho's face turned from surprise to a bright smile you felt a bit of relief.
"That works too." He said softly, his eyes staring into yours.
He took a small step closer and you felt your breath catch. He started to pet Charm before he spoke with an added shyness to his own voice.
"She really is a good luck charm isn't she?"
"How do you mean?" You asked curiously, your voice soft.
His eyes slowly left Charm and met yours, there was a softness in his gaze that could have made you swoon had you less control over yourself.
"I was hoping I'd see you again. And here you are. Because of her."
You were speechless for a moment, before you spoke softly. "You wanted to see me again?"
He nodded, a small smile on his face. Spotting redness in his ears, you realized he was feeling as effected as you were. You couldn't help but smile.
"I was hoping the same." You admitted with a quiet voice, that only made Minho's smile widen as he stared at you with starry eyes.
Charm looked between the two of you, before letting out a small meow. You couldn't help but wonder, maybe this was her plan all along.
