My secret (1/1)

*Niel’s POV* “Damn it, Chanhee! Where have y-“ I couldn’t even finish my sentence because Chanhee pulled me into a bone crashing hug.“Thank you~ Thank you so much my beloved best friend!” he sang, still not letting go of me.“Ch-Chanhee… I-I can’t b-breathe!”“Sorry…” he mumbled and backed away.“Plus it’s strange to have two boys cuddling in the locker room…” I chuckled and hit his shoulder with my fist in a playful way. “So… why are you thanking me?”“Because of your big mouth I got to talk to Byunghun. And he’s so cute and nice and handsome and hot and cool and-““Breath!” I screamed laughing. “Now from the beginning… what?”“So… he asked me if it’s true that I like him… as I said yes he just smiled and nodded. Then he suggested to meet me in the afternoon to get to know me better… He also said that I’m most likely his type and…”“For real?”“Yeah man~!” he cheered and lifted his hand for a high five. I accepted it. It would be good if it was true… Let’s hope the best for my bestie!“Oh the bell will ring soon… I’ve to go! Have fun in PE… and don’t stare at C.A.P’s body too obviously…” Chanhee then chuckled and left the locker room.But as always I ignored his advice… *cough*Hey, Niel! You have to change! You don’t wanna do push-ups just because you’re too late for class, right?I tore my sports clothes out of my locker and quickly changed my pants. And then the difficult part came:I took off my shirt, trying to not pull my bobble hat with it. Then I fumbled for my hoodie, putting it on. I put the hood over my head and secretly slipped off my hat. It hated the fact that our sports teacher wouldn’t allow me to wear my bobble head during class… It was so troublesome without it.When I finally had tied my shoelaces I rushed into the hall. Just early enough to not be too late for the teacher’s taste. No push-ups, yaay!“Today we will focus on high jump...” the teacher announced before letting us run a few rounds.All the time my right hand was pressed onto my head, preventing the hood from falling back. Because of that posture I started to get a stitch in my side while running so that I had to stop earlier than the others, sitting down on a bench.As the teacher whistled, signalling us to come together at the high jump mattress, I was the first one arriving there.High jump was one of my favourite sports. Maybe because of my cat-like jumping skills or just because of natural talent I was able to jump higher than others.I sat down on the edge of the super soft mattress, waiting for the teacher to start talking to us.The last one taking place on the mattress was Minsoo. And of course, being the idiot he was, he sat down right next to me, causing me to tilt to the site, falling onto him.“What the fuck?” I hissed as my head was almost laying on his lap.Minsoo just chuckled. “Sorry, Nielie…” and stroked my head, trying to remove the hood. I immediately shot up, shoving his hand away.This time it was my movement causing Minsoo to fall to the side, bumping into the girl sitting next to him. She seemed to don’t mind at all… she just started giggling with her friends while blushing a bit. Yeah right… it was kingka C.A.P after all…The teacher informed us about our next steps before clapping his hands, announcing the start of jumping.We stood in a line, waiting to jump one after the other. And of course Minsoo tried everything to stand behind me. That disgusting pervert… If I’d been a girl I would’ve worried that he just wanted to look at my ass. But I was Niel… so I was even more worried.“Daniel? It’s your turn!” the teacher yelled.I took a hold of my hood, ran, jumped over the bar but…“Ouch!” I cried. Because I had to hold that stupid hood, I fell onto my right arm. I struggled off the mattress, rubbing my hurting arm.The teacher came towards me. “You’re okay?”I replied with a simple nod but he didn’t accept that. “You better go and hold it under cold water. Minsoo? Can you please accompany him?”“No, it’s okay! I can do this by myself.” I said a bit too quick and too loud.“Of course, coach!” Minsoo grinned and hopped next to me. “Can you walk or shall I help?”“I hurt my arm, pabo!” I hissed. “No need to touch me!”“Too bad…” he mumbled, only for me to hear. He’s such a pervert, really! “Wouldn’t it be better if you took off that hoodie?” Minsoo chuckled while leaning against the tiled wall, watching me trying to hold my arm under water but keeping my sleeve dry.“Then leave the room!”“Niel… we’re both boys… so where’s the problem? Plus, I’ve seen your body before when we’re changing for PE.”“Just leave, please!” I groaned. Why wouldn’t that pabo accept one single plea? No… he kept leaning at that stupid bathroom-wall…I didn’t move and just glared at him.“Okay, okay! I’ll leave!” he finally said, lifting his hands in defeat while exiting the room.I waited for him to be out of sight when I took off my hoodie. That’s so dangerous… I’m in school… I shouldn’t to this after all…I looked at my reflection in the mirror in front of me while letting the cold water run over my hurting arm.I sighed as my cat-ears were twitching at the new gained freedom. A strand of hair was a bit messed up so I lifted my left hand to stroke it back to its original position behind my right cat-ear.“N-Niel?”I let out a scream and immediately jumped to the other side of the bathroom, not caring about the fact that I splashed the water all over the floor and my body.Minsoo was looking at me with widened eyes, taking a few steps towards me. Shit!I fumbled for my hoodie to put at least the hood over my head again. But I dropped it next to the sink. Double shit!“Niel, what… what’s that?” Minsoo pointed at my still twitching ears, leaning forward to touch it.I quickly backed away from him. “Don’t! I… don’t know what you mean?!”He shook his head. “Are you trying to confuse me completely? There are cat ears on your head! I can see them! It can’t be a dream again.”“I really don’t know what you’re talking about… are you sure that I’m the one who fell?”Deny it, keep pretending!!“Don’t take me for a fool, Daniel! So… it was really you? It… it wasn’t a dream?”“You said you don’t want me to explain, so…”“HA! So you do admit it!”I hit my face with my palm but immediately regretted it as a sharp pain shot though my arm. “Ouch!”Right in that moment the door of the locker room flew open and loud voiced were heard. Class was over.Minsoo immediately reached for my hoodie and pulled it over my head hastily. I couldn’t even react fast enough so that in the end my left arm was shoved through the neck of the piece of clothing. A bit helpless, Minsoo tried to help me out of that awkward position but one of our classmates came running into the bathroom. Quickly, Minsoo threw one sleeve over my head to cover my ears from the other boy’s sight.“Is… everything alright here?” he asked.“Yeah… yeah! Everything okay.” Minsoo grinned and casually leant against the wall again. I took a step to the side to hide behind Minsoo a bit.The boy just left with a confused face… without saying one more word.  “I’m home~” I called through the house as I took off my bobble hat.“Welcome, honey!” my mother greeted me from the kitchen. “How was school?”“Well…” I started while entering the kitchen to put my bag onto a chair. “I got into trouble…”“Oh… what happened? Did you fight?” she asked while stirring something in the big cooking pot.“No, even worse! I guess Minsoo, erm C.A.P, kinda found out that the cat was me... I hurt my arm during sports class and he had to guide me out and… saw something he shouldn’t have seen…”My mom turned around to look at me a bit shocked. “Oh honey… how did he react?”“He… didn’t say much… and even helped me to prevent my ears from being seen by the other students…”“That sounds so nice… why do you hate that boy?”I shoved my hand in front of her face without saying anything.“Oh… a smiling butt!” she stated and eyed Minsoo’s drawing. “It’s kinda… witty.”“Uh-huh… modern art.” I sighed and made my way to the bathroom to scrub it off my skin.“You said that you hurt your arm before… is it okay now?” my mom called after me.“I guess it’s strained… I’ll bandage it in a moment.” I replied.“It’s okay, honey. But please don’t stray around today.”I groaned. How I hated not being able to go out as a cat… I always got so nervous when staying inside.“By the way… I washed M… what’s his name?”“Minsoo.”“Minsoo’s clothes. So you can give them back to him.”I nodded as I was walking past her, heading to the medicine shelf to take out a bandage.When I finished wrapping my hand, I chuckled slightly. Now Minsoo and I were kinda wearing the same accessory…“Darling? Why don’t you bring Minsoo’s clothes to his house later?” my mom then suggested.“What? Why? I can give them to him tomorrow in school…”She shook her head. “You could… but isn’t it better to bring it to him today? It’s nicer… don’t you think?”“I never wanted to be nice to him…”Chuckling, she shook her head once more. “You better be. He knows your secret.”Well… that made me think… … And just half an hour later I found myself standing in front of Minsoo’s house again. Damn a mother’s talent to convince…Nervously I finally pressed the doorbell after just standing face to face with it for about ten minutes. Then I took a deep breath.I heard Bangja barking inside. Shut up, dog.“Oh? Niel? What brings you here?” Minsoo asked me after opening the door. His stupid dog immediately started sniffing my feet and legs, growling at me. “Shhh~” I hissed.Chuckling, Minsoo grabbed his dog by the collar and pulled him away from me. “Sorry …” he mumbled.“Well… you can’t blame him… he’s a dog and I think I have a cat-like scent…” I laughed awkwardly.“So… why are you here?”“Erm… I came to bring your clothes… thanks for lending it to me…” I stammered as I shoved the bag towards him.“No problem…” he scratched the back of his neck as he stepped aside. “Come in…”I nodded and stepped in.“So… you’re… a cat?” Minsoo half stated and half asked as we were sitting down on the sofa.“Kinda…”“That’s…” he reached out his hand, grabbing my bobble hat. He pulled it off my head and put it onto his lap. Then his gaze settled on my fluffy ears. Again he stuck out his hand and started poking it. *poke* *twich* *poke* *twitch* *po-* “OKAY STOP IT!” I suddenly snapped and shoved his hand away violently, shifting to the side.“But please… please don’t be an idiot for once and don’t tell anyone.” I then pleaded. “Not even ChunJi knows…”“I won’t… okay, Fishlips? Don’t freak out.” He said in a soothing voice.I nodded, smiling softly. “Thanks”“But… I won’t keep your secret for free…” he suddenly smirked.My eyes widened. “O-okay… so… what am I supposed to pay? I could start working in a coffee shop… or babysitting… tutoring…” The words were sputtering out of me.Minsoo laughed and shook his head. Then he pressed his right index finger against my lips. “I don’t want money…”A nervously tickling feeling was spreading inside of my stomach. What could that pervert want from me?“You’re going to be my private assistant from now on.”“Eh? No!”“Yes… maybe for a month…”“A day.”“A week.”“Until we go to school tomorrow.”“Deal.”“For an hour.”

“Niel…”“Hm?”Again he chuckled and ruffled my hair. I pouted. Bangja came and growled at me again.“He’s hungry. Could you please feed him?” Minsoo said, giving me my first task as his “assistant”.“Oh of course! How about I shapeshift into a cat so he can eat me?”He blinked. “There’s dog food in the kitchen… but if you want to…”Who was he thinking he is? Telling me to feed his dog… couldn’t he do it by himself?I HATE DOGS! It’s only natural…Hissing, I stood up from the sofa, just to be stopped by him again.“Wait!” he said. “I have something you should wear…”God no!He also stood up and went to his bedroom. I was left in the living room. I could’ve ran away when I had the chance… but somehow I missed it. And I regretted it the moment he came back with a pile of black and white clothing.“This, my dear…” he put it onto the sofa and pointed at it. “This will be your uniform for today!”I took a deep breath before slowly reaching for it, unfolding the fabric.“I hope you’re not serious with that.” I said, trying to keep as calm as possible. Just don’t freak out Niel, he knows your secret!“I’m dead serious! You’re my maid now so… wear this!”“Listen… I’ll do everything you want… but I won’t wear a maid’s costume! Never! I’m a boy! Did you hear? A B.O.Y!”“Oh Nielie…” he sighed. “You so will wear this! Besides… I know pretty well that you’re a boy…”I tried to ignore his little remark. “Why do you have it anyways? Are you some kind of pervert liking role plays in bed or something?”He chuckled. “You really think so, huh? Well I won’t tell you. You’ll have to find out yourself~”“Eww~ no!” I shuddered as I tore the clothing off the sofa and stomped to the bathroom to change. Really… I never felt that humiliated in my whole life. Never! Not even when my mother showed some of my childhood photos to Chanhee…Sighing, I arrived at the kitchen and looked around a bit helplessly while tugging onto the dress I was wearing now.“In the cupboard right above your head!” Minsoo called from the living room.I looked up and opened the said cupboard. Found the dog food~As if he already knew the sound of ‘food’s coming’, Bangja appeared next to me, standing on his hind-paws. His forepaws resting against my hip. Huge dog.Leaning away from him, I fumbled the can open, hoping the dog wouldn’t snap it away from me. Having finally succeeded in opening it, I literally threw the food into Bangja’s feeding dish, fearing that he’d just eat me if I’m not far enough from his food. He may mistake me…“Now that you’ve done this… don’t you think it’s a bit dirty in here?”“No… it’s perfectly fine!” I said, thinking about my very own room… yup… compared to that it was sterile in here… Well, except for the dog hair… and the paw traces all over the wooden floor… and the food around the feeding dish… and the disgusting dog-smell…Okay it WAS dirty but I really didn’t want to clean it.Chapter 3 is here~ Hope you all liked it ^-^And OMO you guys are really amazing!! 30 subscribers and 6 upvotes~ Thats actually more than I expected for this story xD Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading, subscribing, upvoting and commenting~ <3 Also thanks to every silent reader :)So... for this story I planned to write four chapters but I guess it'll be five instead... so you have to read one more... xD Hope you don't mind ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Luv ya <3 ~IHaveRuinedMyLife :)
