The mini-feast was far from gourmet. Mama Kang made sure that she could feed herself and not die of starvation. She did not make sure that Seulgi would enjoy it.

  Again, the Parents were the souls of discretion and ate what was given. They even made appreciative noises, however, was pretty sure she found the main reason why this wonderful child, who was twenty eight, thank you very much, was still single. She would have to Do Something. She was already fond of this wayward child, who was twenty eight, thank you very much, and would do some subtle remedial training in the kitchen. If for no other reason than Him having a delicate stomach.

  Seulgi, the poor dear, was aware that her cooking was not Haute cuisine, but she did her "Seulgi, the poor dear, was aware that her cooking was not Haute cuisine, but she did her meager best. Not even Nayeon could look her in the eye and say that her cooking was tasty. The only person who would be willing to eat Seulgi’s cooking willingly and enjoy it was Bhuwakul, and everyone already knew he was insane, so he didn’t count.

  Seulgi did, despite everything else, make the perfect amount for each person. She was able to feed everyone – cat included. Then they did the dishes. Jeong-Hui gave her a none-too-subtle hip bump knocked her away from the sink and took over. She had to stop and as where things were a few times, but everything went from dirty with a methodical, mechanical quickness not even Seulgi herself could better.

  Seulgi got out of the way, walked over to the couch, and leaned against it. She looked down as Suki looked up at her. Suki made a chirp, looked at Her, and back up at the stunned woman and started purring.

  “I think I am going to like her, too,“ Seulgi said softly.

  He started looking around in more detail. Opening the cupboard, fiddling with shelves, feeling in front of the airflow registers. Nodding or grunting, he made his way through the kitchen, the bathroom, their bedroom, and her bedroom, and Suki and Seulgi stared at them both with mystification.

  As soon as the st dish was done, She started her investigation, too. From fridge to freezer to pantry. She looked everywhere. She made odd hums, clicks of her tongues, and at least one look of pure disgust.

  She thought that her house was fairly nice, put together well, organized, and welcoming. However, the inspection that these two were doing was making her feel like an errant schoolgirl who was failing an examination.

  They both pulled a feat of prestidigitation and pulled a pen and notepad out of the ether and huddled together then started writing and while comparing notes. Much scribbling ter, they looked up in a synchronization that was mildly terrifying before they went back to their notes.

  Mystified and brain fried, Seulgi gave up on trying to figure out whatever mischief they were up to. She sat on a blue overstuffed chair in her living room and watched him cavort.

  Suki jumped up next to her human and they watched the Parents together. Each makes an occasional observation of the other. Seulgi spent some high quality time stroking the silky spine sprawled across her p. They had a companionable silence watching the antics of the other two. Both were equally mystified.

  About this time, Suki meowed for attention. She pointed her muzzle towards the clock. Noticing the time, this was when she normally went to bed. She got up and thanked the cat for the reminder with a slow caress along the chin and cheek of her familiar.

  “Ok, you two. I am going to bed. It will be an early morning for us. I’d suggest you ‘kids’ get to bed soon, too,” she said with a sly smile.

  They grinned back and started toward the bedroom.

  When Seulgi got to the bed to pull back the covers, Suki was already in her favorite spot on the bed to sleep with her human.

  Seulgi turned out all of the light, climbed into the bed, and turned on her side. Suki cuddled up to her and Seulgi put her arm around her. Both of their breathing slowed and steadied. Both slept deep dreams. One about friends one about fish.

  After a couple of hours, the smaller one got up to check on the guest. She found the door closed, but she could still hear light snores, one in a higher register, one in a lower. Assuming that they were both sleeping soundly, she went back to her nightly duties. Which mostly consisted of her looking out the back gss door and looking outside. She, of course, had to take several naps from this arduous duty. She saw no reason not to engage in her favorite pastime. So, instead, she wallowed in it.

  Suki’s inner clock woke her about five minutes before six am. This gave her a leisurely moment to stretch before toddling over to the bed for her Arm Cat duties. She usually pyed a game that only she enjoyed called Wake Seulgi Before The Arm. Usually, just about one minute before the clock sounded. Just before the arm sounded, Suki put her pawn just under Seulgi’s nose and stopped her from breathing. Seulgi jerked awake just as her arm sounded.

  One down, two to go.

  Suki jumped off the bed before she was thrown off.

  The door was still closed, but she heard the arm going off, so she had to be satisfied with this as it was.

  Everyone got up, brushed their teeth, freshened up, washed their faces, and got their game faces on while dressing.

  Seulgi came into the kitchen to find Jeong-Hui spoiling her cat rotten with face squishes. There were some things already cooking. Fortunately, to Seulgi’s sleep addled mind, she thought that She was being a gracious guest when in reality she was unwilling to try Seulgi’s breakfast cooking. She did not disabuse Seulgi of this misconception.

  Breakfast consumed, litter box emptied – by Seulgi, it would not do to ask guests to do this duty no matter how much they say they don’t mind. The cat’s water and food were filled. Everything looked to be neat and in as much order as could be. As the three people started trooping out, Seulgi and Jeong-Hui unabashedly gave Suki goodbye caresses. Seulgi stops to check her visage in the mirror to make sure she is presentable when she sees Him give the cat a quick pet too, giving lie to the grumpy fa?ade.

  They make it to the ground floor with no issues. They stop at the front desk, Seulgi gives the front desk guard a hundred and fifty watt smile while collecting the items from st night. Both of the Parents were momentarily blinded as were all of the guards, who took the brunt of the smile.

  The items were given to the appropriate persons, and they decided who would keep the key. Then the three of them marched to the parking lot. They got into the car and took off to the hospital. Once on the way, they lost themselves in pleasant conversation.

  Seulgi forgot to be more careful because they were followed all the way to the hospital.
