neighborly love
when you lose your cat and she ends up right in the arms of your neighbor, wen junhui.
jun x reader, neighbors to lovers, fluff
you’d been living in your new apartment for a few months now and everything was going without a hitch.
you hadn’t made friends with your neighbors but you would say hi to each other in the hallway, that was a win in your book.
mei, your grumpy and standoffish cat was even starting to warm up to your new place. loving your place so much that she would find places to hide and you wouldn’t be able to find her for hours.
currently, you were searching for your precious black cat, looking in all her regular hiding places and coming up empty handed.
usually you wouldn’t be too scared but you hadn’t seen her all day!
thinking she might have actually escaped you threw on your shoes and grabbed your keys, making your way out of your apartment to investigate the surrounding area.
but right as you threw open your front door you were met with your neighbor standing in front of you and your precious mei curled up in his arms.
“meimei!” you exclaimed, quickly taking your cat in your arms and holding her close, “where were you? nearly gave me a heart attack!” you scolded your cat, forgetting about your neighbor who was awkwardly standing there.
“i, uh, found her going down the stairs, i wasn’t sure whose she was so i’ve been bringing her around different units and asking,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck with an shy smile, “i guess she’s yours.” he stated, as if that wasn’t painfully clear.
you finally shone your smile of gratitude at your neighbor and he could swear that he felt his heart stop. “thank you so much, i’ve been looking for her for hours.” you said exasperatedly, “junhui, right?” you asked, making sure you got his name right.
“yeah, junhui- or jun, whichever one…” he spoke, moving his hands around awkwardly, “my friends call me jun,” he explained, “not that we’re friends or anything, of course,” he said quickly, “not that we can’t be friends!” he added on again, continuing to ramble.
you found him quite endearing. plus the fact that your cat, who usually hated people, felt safe enough to fall asleep in his arms gave him a few extra points in your book.
“right,” you said with a little laugh, “jun it is,” you confirmed, ruffling your cats fur as you held her. you gave him your name in return and he nodded his head, knowing he wouldn’t forget the name of his striking neighbor again.
“i’m surprised that she let you pick her up,” you commented, “i’ve had her for 5 years and she hasn’t let anyone but me pick her up,” you continued, wanting to talk to him for a little longer.
jun was glad that you continued to speak to him, he didn’t want to go back to his apartment quite yet. “maybe i’m a cat whisperer,” he joked with a shrug, “they are my favorite animal, maybe she can sense it.” he shrugged again, not quite knowing how cats worked but knowing that he liked them.
“well, thank you again for taking care of her,” you said sincerely, “she’s like my child, so i’m not sure what i would’ve done if i lost her.” you said truthfully, hoping jun could tell how grateful you were for him.
“it’s really no problem, i’m glad i could help,” he said, shooting you a thumbs up (and then immediately facepalming himself in his head).
you ended up exchanging numbers with him before going back inside and going on with your day.

over the next few months you became quite close with your neighbor.
he would come over to play with mei, and you’d even leave her in his care if you were leaving the house for extended periods of time.
her instant comfort towards him confused you at first but as you spent more time with the man you started to understand why she felt that way.
he was sweet, kind, funny, and most importantly, good with animals.
you didn’t know it, but he felt the same way about you. he jumped at the opportunity to hang out with you, even if it was just helping pick out some cat toys at the pet shop, or spending time in your apartment with mei.
sometimes he found himself getting a little too comfortable, it felt almost domestic.
the two of you were currently sitting in your living room, watching a new show while mei was settled in between the two of you, gladly accepting scratches from the both of you.
“it’s like we’re a little family,” jun commented absentmindedly, his attention now solely on you instead of the show that was playing.
this made your ears perk up and you looked over at him, “oh really? does that make us husband and wife then?” you questioned, knowing it would make him flustered.
his cheeks heated up once you said that and he shook his head, “i guess that’s how it would be then,” he nodded, clearing his throat, now he was looking anywhere but you.
“and meimei is our child?” you said, pretending to think about it, “i wouldn’t be opposed to it,” you said honestly. “there are definitely worse men out there to be a father to mei,” you joked, but you were being truthful.
you noticed that your routine with jun was getting quite domestic. you saw him every day, even if it was under the guise of doing something for you cat.
jun was flustered over your comments but decided to finally do something about it. “do you want to go on a date?” he asked out of the blue.
now it was your turn to be flustered, his question making you look away with a little smile. you waited for a few seconds, letting his question sit in the air before replying. “yeah, jun, i’d like that.” you said softly.
he let out a breath of air when you said yes, glad that he hadn’t completely ruined your friendship.
“really?” he asked, thinking he was dreaming your response.
“of course,” you said as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.
“so… tomorrow? 7?” he asked, not even sure where he would be taking you but he wanted solid plans so you wouldn’t be able to back out.
“i’d love that,” you grinned, leaning over and planting a quick kiss on his cheek.
his jaw dropped open at your symbol of affection and his cheeks turned bright red once again.
