[ His brows furrowed at the mention of fleas. Not that he'd had time to give the kitten a proper once over, but he'd considered the possibility and vowed to accept the consequences of his actions.
But that didn't stop the instinctive shudder at the thought that he might wake up covered with itchy bites the next morning... ]
Thank you. [ His face relaxed. ] I swear, if I see even a single flea crawling across the floor, I'll scrub the entire place from top to bottom. Promise.
[ The tension he'd been holding immediately eased from his shoulders when Zhao divested him of his jacket. Joon-gi sat down on the raised step, carefully unlacing his boots with one hand while he continued to cradle the kitten with the other. He tossed his muddy boots aside and peeled off his socks, leaving them in a wadded heap on the tiled floor.
Right. Now to get to the bathroom without making too much of a mess. He padded across the floor on the balls of his feet, like some caricature of a burglar breaking into a home unawares.
He'd clean up the wet footprints later. Right now, there were more pressing concerns.
Joon-gi heard the sound of the sink running as he entered the bathroom. The kitten mewled louder, as though it knew instinctively the terrible fate that lay in store. He took it as a good sign that maybe the kitten would be a fighter, that it would survive this ordeal.
In that regard, perhaps they weren't so different. ]
Do you think it's alright to use normal shampoo on a cat? [ He made to reach for his phone, and then remembered that it was too wet to power on. Damn. ] Maybe you can look it up, just in case?
[ Hell, he hadn't thought that far ahead when he'd picked the little guy up. Maybe he could have stopped by the pet supply market on the way home if he'd been in his right mind. ]
