"What is wrong with you guys?"
They all turned to look at Jagi wondering why she was asking such a question.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Earlier today, I was a tiger. Now I'm human and you are all acting like it's so normal?"
Shin Suri smiled.
Actually, I've always imagined how Jagi would be if she was human and right now, the person I'm seeing isn't so different from what I imagined.
"Well, it's been almost a day since you turned human so we've had our own fair share of surprises".
Kay went closer and looked at her in the eyes.
"I'm gonna have to examine her properly. Jagi, you'll have to come with me to the lab".
Jagi pushed Yu Lei away and stood up immediately.
"Never. I'm never going back to that place ever again. What is this? Are you all just gonna stand here and act like this is okay? I was white guys, pure white and suddenly, I turned crazy black then I began to speak".
"Wait, you could talk even when you were an animal?"
Kay asked because it was a piece of new information for him but Jagi ignored him.
"And now what huh? I'm human and you all are going to stay in front of me and act like this is normal?"
I raised my brow. I honestly didn't know why but I felt she was overreacting. If anything, I felt like she should be happy she was now human. I know it's weird and we'll definitely need an explanation from Kim Yuri but regardless, this was good news.
Jagi on the other hand didn't feel that way. Yu Lei was pretty good at reading people and right now, all he could read from her was fear. Her hands were shaking and her entire body was trembling.
Jagi walked out of the room and Yu Lei rushed after her. Joo Ah wanted to go as well but Shin Suri held her back. Joo Ah looked at her and pulled her hand away.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?"
"She doesn't need you right now".
"How can you say that Shin Suri? I'm the only family she has!"
"So what huh?"
She asked and moved closer to her with a serious look on her face.
"Are you going to go over to her and tell her you know how she feels? Or that you understand and it's hard to accept she's human? Do you think that will help? Snap out of it Joo Ah, you might have been her only family back in the forest but now you're not the only one who cares about her I want the best for her too. Believe it or not, there are times when you are absolutely useless to her so get a grip of yourself!"
Shin Suri said and walked out of the room leaving Joo Ah and Kay alone in the room. Joo Ah had her face down and tears began to drop.
"She's right. What could I possibly say to make her feel better? Nothing, I am useless".
"Hey, calm down. I'm sure she didn't mean it that way. If it wasn't for you, those men would have taken her away remember?"
He went close to her and hugged her and it seems that made the tears get worse.
"Remember that night at the lab?"
**flashback**
"I'm sorry I yelled at you the other night".
Kay chuckled.
"It's okay, I know you are just really possessive of her".
"You know Kay, to be honest, I'm really shy of people. I'd most likely say that people scare me. But when it comes to Jagi, I just ignore all the voices in my head and do everything I can to make sure she is more than okay".
***
"With how shy you are around people, you stood with a dagger in your hand to face all those men head on. Jagi is definitely a part of you and I'm a hundred percent sure she knows that. She's just a bit confused so please be patient with her".
Joo Ah was crying none stop and she held Kay even more. Shin Suri on the other hand was boiling with anger.
"What is wrong with her? What was that? I'm the only family she has? She's always acting like she's the only one who cares about Jagi. I'm human too and I like her a lot".
I was really pissed at her and I wasn't sorry at all for the way I spoke to her. I was on my way out of the house. I couldn't stay here anymore because both Jagi and Joo Ah were pissing me off. But when I was leaving, I heard someone crying inside an empty room. I peeped to see who it was and since the room had nothing in it, I could clearly see who was in it. It was Jagi and Yu Lei.
"Hey..."
Yu Lei said while sitting close to her. He has been trying to get her to talk to him for a while now but all she did was cry.
"You are scared aren't you?"
She looked at him with tears in her eyes and nodded.
"What...what is wrong wi... with me? What will I become next?"
"Nothing".
He said and smiled.
"You can't become anything else".
"How can you be so sure?! I keep transforming it's scary".
She said and bent her head.
"I'll keep liking you no matter what".
She looked at him and it was obvious just that statement made her mood get better immediately at least a little bit.
"Even if I become a rat?"
"A noisy rat huh?"
She laughed a little and he simply smiled looking at how beautiful she looked when she laughed.
"I don't think there is any form you'd be in that I wouldn't like. I'm hooked you know? It's like you placed a spell on me".
She kept looking at him but she didn't say anything.
"There's nothing wrong with you Jagi, you are perfectly fine no matter what you look like. But for now, you look like a human and I really do love it".
She smiled and he suddenly began to come closer. Just when their lips were about to make contact, the door flung open and Shin Suri fell into the room. She immediately stood up and cleaned herself up.
"Ehehm, I was just leaving, continue what you were doing".
She said and rushed out literally running down the stairs.
"Aishh, that was so embarrassing. Way to go Shin Suri, this is what happens when you don't mind your business".
Yu Lei looked at Jagi while rubbing the back of his head and she began laughing real hard. He smiled and dropped his hand.
"You'll go to the hospital right?"
