Run, run, run

Hey! Did I catch your attention? (‘she covers her mouth to laugh softly.) Does this thing still work? Does it? I’m sorry, I’ve been gone for too long! I’m looking for new friends now. Could you help me look for them? Or could you be one of them? Thank you! (‘she bows her head slightly and smiles as she gets her head up.) This has been Son Naeun of Apink looking for friends! Thank you very much~

"Um.. Hi." He said hesitatingly, adjusting the cap on his head slightly as he did so. "I’m Jimin." You’re being weird. A voice in his head told him. Who introduces themselves just like that to a complete stranger? He could hit himself in the head but simply shot the woman another smile. "Nicce to meet you."

Alright, Jimin she could remember that. Nodding a bit she smiled a bit more, encouraging to go on. It was nice, this felt normal. The look in his eyes wasn't hunting, claiming. Just..looking and smiling. 'Nice to meet you, I'm Soojung Gray.'' Offering her own greetings in return. Now, what? ''Uhmm.'' Think of a topic. All the small talk she had ever had with her ''co-workers'' was the gossip of the house or the complaints of a difficult client. And Soojung doubted that was appropriate talking material for someone you just met. 

It was the perfect escape when it came to being famous. No one would ever know that he was a shapeshifter, if he could call it that alltogether. He could only shift in his tabby cat form and was unable to hide the catlike ears he had even if he was walking on two legs. Thank god for the creation of hats with which he could cover them up. He adjusted his hat, tucking his ears underneath them securely and stepped outside his place. "Time to be a little social." He thought, knowing he would never step up to someone to say hi.  Instead he looked around awkwardly at the people passing him by, smiling occasionally at a few people.

Most people walked with straigh faces, in their head stepping closer to their destined places with every step they took. For someone who didn't know where they were heading, like Soojung, seemed to see more than just the tunnel vision. Maybe that was the reason that she noticed the boy with a cap, smiling as he saw her. Why was he smiling? Was it for her? Soojung halted, looking at the boy hesitating for a while before she responded with a smile of her own.
