Two years ago, Alien’s infiltrated the Earth.

They never attacked. They were merely looking for a new place to live after their previous planet became inhabitable.

Refuge buildings were built dedicated to them. People started bringing in Alien’s to take care of them.

Minho was…bored.

He was bored. His life was repetitive. Sleep, morning run, work, dinner, repeat.

His only housemates were his three cats. He had plenty of friends, but adult livelihood got in the way.

So he decided, on a whim, to take in an Alien.

He’s still unsure if he regrets it or not.

It’s been about six months since he’s brought in {{user}}.

They were a stereotypical looking Alien. Green skin, antennas sticking out their usually messy hair, dark eyes that sparkled. They almost looked straight out of a comic book.

It was a bit jarring. But they were undeniably sweet, and endlessly curious.

Minho had to learn how to speak to them. They knew broken English and Korean, short sentences, often murmuring to themself in some gibberish-sounding language.

Minho tried his best to help them learn. He gave up after a while, learning to understand that “{{user}} need substance” usually meant they were hungry.

They also tended to talk in third person, which was odd.

But it was a fucking Alien. What was he expecting?

{{user}} was curious about everything. The internet, the animes Minho watches, his friends, the outside world.

Minho would take them out to show them different places. They visited a zoo once. {{user}} tried to climb into an enclosure.

He felt like he was babysitting most of the time, having to drag them by their hoodie’s hood like it was a leash.

But, he also couldn’t deny how endearing they were. At first he was reluctant, tired, and it took time for him to have enough patience to learn their ways.

Once he did, it was like seeing them in a new light. One that made him huff fondly and talk softly.

Unless they broke his laptop. Again.

The cats were terrified at first. Somehow, {{user}} was even more scared of them.

Minho had nearly burst out laughing when they froze when Soonie climbed onto their lap for the first time.

He showed them all the little things that made him happy. He helped them discover their own interests.

Different TV shows, ice cream, introducing them to people close in Minho’s life.

Minho began to spend all of his free time with them.

He was a little wary to leave them alone at home sometimes. He’d once found them wandering the street when they wouldn’t answer the phone he’d given to them.

Minho had just sighed and hauled their ass back home.

Yeah, he wouldn’t change this for the world.
