Kartein has been transforming into a cat back and forth to being a human more often. He does it to get more used to this kind of "talent" he learned from Kayden. The children constantly comes and goes whenever they want and it won't be good if they see him in his human form. Not like he is a criminal in hiding but he doesn't feel like conversing with these kids. They are just pure annoyance and major headache.

"Let's order cheesy rose tteokbokki." Subin said smilingly while taking off her shoes, followed by Wooin then Jisuk.

"Why don't you order yourself using your account?" Jisuk nonchalantly replied which followed by Subin's punch on his head.

Haaahhhh.. These annoying kids, really...

The kitty Kartein sighed in pure disappointment as he walked up and "recharge" himself inside the carton box at the stairway. Jiwoo finally walked into the house and took off his shoes. He was holding his bag real tight.

What in the world did he bring this time...?

Right after the thought, Jiwoo beamed at Kartein on his way to the living room then onto the rest of the cats.

"Hi, guys! I brought you something!" He called and wave the treats he just bought on their way home.

"Oh, right. I'll save these for later. I'll feed you your meals, instead." Jiwoo added, putting his school bag down the single seater-sofa.

Wait, no.. What flavors are those?

The bright kid went to the kitchen. Casein Nitrate wanted to follow Jiwoo but he was interrupted by the constant meowing and rubbing of the house cats. They are now all over him which he couldn't just shoo away. The chunky cat glanced up at Kartein. He must have been calling him by eye contact.

No, I'd rather wait here until the meal is served...

Kartein continued to observe the kids in full chaos. When will they ever learn to be prim and proper when they are in someone's house? Such disrespect.

"Just order it! I told you, I don't have anything on me today!" Subin screamed as she smashed the throw pillow on Jisuk's face.

"Heh. Not my problem." Jisuk teasingly replied and kicked her to the edge of the sofa.

"Uhhh, hey, aren't you hungry?" Jiwoo calmly asked pertaining to Kartein. He was holding Kartein's food bowl and for Peanut and also for Oreo.

"I am starving! I could totally eat a person right now but I'm fucking allergic to this guy!" Subin screamed angrily and continued to punch Jisuk in the face.

"Uhh, heh.. I was talking to Ka- to cat! To the cat! I mean!" Jiwoo replied in horror. Shoot! That was close! He nearly called Kartein by his name while the healer is in his cat form! Good thing is that Subin and Jisuk was busy with their daily activity- the non-sense argument, so they didn't heard Jiwoo.

In return, Kartein gave him a death glare as he walked down the stairs.

I'm sorry, Mr. Kartein!

Jiwoo secretly closed his eyes real hard in shame also for Kartein to realize that he's sorry. He gently put the fancy food bowl near Casein Nitrate's and started eating.

Wooin was still there too, standing and watching the cats, so in order for Jiwoo to not get suspicious, Kartein faced his food bowl and slighly growled which surprised Casein Nitrate and looked at him for a brief moment then continued eating along with the house cats.

"I want jajjangmyeon..." Wooin quietly suggested to end the argument of the two.

The chaotic duo stopped their wrestlemania and heard him.

"Ugh! Again?!" Subin asked in annoyance. Crossing her arms on her chest in defeat. Her cravings for cheesy rose tteokbokki has been put aside. If only she didn't forgot her phone and brought it so she could just order her own food instead.

"I guess that's what we're gonna eat today! I'll prepare the drinks." Jiwoo happily offered and went back to the kitchen.

The house cats were done eating, so as Kartein. They are now doing their after-meal grooming. Casein Nitrate remained faithful to his food. He's dedicated to empty his bowl today. The food was really good this time because it was mackerel flavor.

While Kartein didn't finished his because he's gonna come back for it later. Now, time for after-meal preparation. It's self-grooming time. He decided to jump onto the sofa and started to clean his paws

Kartein was really busy doing his own thing which led Subin to annoy the hell out of him. The girl walked up to him and sat on the floor, near Kartein's spot.

What's her problem this time...?!

Kartein hissed at Subin then continued to groom himself. Not letting his guard down.

"Whoa, chill out, dude. I'm not gonna touch you!" Subin told him. But the look on her face tells you the otherwise.

Few moments later, the girl just couldn't get ahold of herself. Subin gently scooped Kartein with her bare hands. Forming him into a crescent and slowly placed his tiny body onto her lap.

He's not done grooming himself yet and Subin could tell he still smells like fish but that was okay... for her.

Kartein hissed and growled again. Not being too aggressive but he's not moving nor flailing.

"Oh, shhh.. Shhhh.. Shhhh.. Come on, just a little cuddle! You're so small! So tiny! You need a little shower of love so you could grow!" Subin said in a placating tone and started gently scratching kitty Kartein's tiny forehead.

Get your filthy hands off of me, young lady!

He continued to growl really low. Kartein was growling and hissing but wasn't taking any steps away from her. His eyes were dilated and he was just constantly licking his nose as a clear warning.

"Heh. Look at you, doing the airplane ears! Weeeeee~ Heehee. So cute! Aren't you cute? Yes, you are! Don't be mad!" Subin continued while touching and playing the tip of Kartein's ear then goes back at scratching his forehead.

And, finally! Casein Nitrate cleaned up his food bowl. He glanced around the living room and got surprised a little bit for a new sight.

Kartein? Likes to cuddle...? Heh.. That's new...

Casein Nitrate jumped onto the sofa right across Kartein and Subin then started grooming himself regally. He was staring at Kartein... MOCKINGLY! WHILE GROOMING HIMSELF!

Why is he staring at me like that?! I could tell this guy is mocking me! I could totally tell it, Kayden! You bastard!

Casein Nitrate wasn't even finished grooming his right paw when Jisuk suddenly kneeled and offered him three pieces of delicious cat treats. Jisuk's head was low, the treats were perfectly resting on his palms, waiting for Casein Nitrate's acceptance. Jisuk was like a real servant.

Kartein was still on Subin's lap. Unable to groom himself and he don't understand what was stopping him from doing so! He was purring, it was warm but Subin is annoying to be with. Casein Nitrate took one treat and looked again at Kartein.

He is clearly mocking me! How in the world did he teach that kid to act such humbleness in front of him, which is the exact opposite as this girl's doing?! Is that another secret technique?!

"Heh. You look like a stupid fool on that part. Like~ a~ lowly~ servant~." Subin teased Jisuk, who was facing the chunky cat faithfully.

"Shut up. You don't know anything." Jisuk quietly replied and squeezed the treat carefully to Casein Nitrate's mouth. Like, he's gonna beheaded in just one wrong move.

"Looks good on you, though. To look so fucking stupid! HAH!" Subin replied followed with a victorious evil laugh. She was so happy that she subconsciously started tapping Kartein's hind legs repeatedly. As if she was just tapping the table in pure entertainment.

That's it, young lady! You're done for!

Kartein growled and bit Subin's hand. It wasn't that deep or bleeding, but it left a shallow bitemark. Kartein hissed and walked out on her. He's fed up with these kids, really. He's really sick of it. He needs to recharge. Now!

"Ow! Oh god, Jiwooo! Skinny just bit my hand!" Subin cried for help. She wasn't crying but was really astounded.

"Oh no! I- I'm sorry! Come here and wash your hands, I'll go get the first aid kit!" Jiwoo offered.

"HAH! Looks good on you, though. Looking so fucking stupid! HAH! Hahahahaha!" Jisuk laughingly mimicked Subin as she walked to the kitchen.

"You are so dead to me later, Yoo Jisuk!" Subin replied angrily and started washing her hands.

A/N: Heyaaa! Another ELECEED fanfic again for your eyes only! This time, with the Jiwoo Protection Squad and the furry bebbys. I really wanted to make this a Kartein-centered story but I just couldn't left the other characters behind so I tried giving them a little appearance in here. SPOILER ALERT! I've seen kitty Kartein being cuddled by Subin in the latest paid chapters, so I wanted to give it a try. This story somewhat sets right after Kartein learning the cat transformation and before turning into being a lap kitty when the kids were going back to Korean Awakeners Academy (I just couldn't remember the specific chapter though!) Anyway, thank you for reading! 3
