#reader hybrid

“We know you’re stressed about work; you are not the only one. Though a companion at home would help bring some life into this house. Especially make you take breaks every now and then,” Namjoon questioned with a frown, picking up crumbled pieces of paper around the room to throw in the trash.

The comment made Yoongi sit still for a moment, frowning in thought. He has been stressing about work lately, not even bothering to spend time with everyone and he always forgets to take breaks when he’s so deep in lyrics. Though a hybrid? He won’t have time for one, nor does he know how to take care of one. Namjoon has Hoseok and Jimin to take care of, while Seokjin has Jungkook and Taehyung. Both of them would probably have some tips on how to care for one, but then again, all four of them are old enough to take care of themselves.

Seokjin and Namjoon look at one another in hope that Yoongi might actually be considering about adopting a hybrid companion.

“No.”

Or… maybe not.

Namjoon sighed at his hyung stubbornness, but he doesn’t want to force him to do something he really doesn’t want. Though a crashing sound from the living room and panicked screaming alerted all three of them. “Yah! You better not be making a mess out there!” Seokjin huffed out, rushing out the room only to see a blur of transformed hybrids rush by in a hurry to hide.

Yoongi raised an eyebrow at the commotion that his hybrid friends caused, directing the look at the last person in his room. “Look, we’re not asking for you to adopt one on the spot. All we ask is to just look around and get out of the house,” Namjoon suggested, watching Yoongi slump farther in his chair.

“Fine, I’ll go only to look around. Now go make sure those brats didn’t break anything important of mine,” Yoongi gave in, defeat swelling in his chest as Namjoon brightened up.

“Great. Tomorrow in the afternoon, we’ll head down to the shelter together. Be dressed and ready!” Namjoon says with a dimple smile, walking out the room to go see what trouble the hybrids got into.

~

Yoongi glared at the sign above his head, ‘Tails of Hope.’ This was a terrible idea; he shouldn’t have agreed to this.

After the guys left, Yoongi didn’t even bother researching about Hybrids or any kind of pet. He already made up his mind that he wasn’t adopting, but it was too late to back out. Especially since everyone looked so excited that he was even coming to the shelter, Yoongi just didn’t have the heart to tell them.

“Staring at the sign won’t make it disappear or transport you back home,” Jimin teased, his tail swaying behind him gracefully as he tried to hide the bright colors by wrapping a jacket around his waist. A black cap hiding his fluffy pointy ears.

Suddenly a weight jumped on Yoongi’s back making him jump up slightly startled before glaring at the smiling male behind it. Hoseok’s tail wagging rather excitedly, hitting his leg occasionally.

Namjoon walked towards them with a chuckle, “I agreed to bring you guys if you behaved and hid your tails. You may be comfortable with other hybrids, but not all of them feel the same.” Hoseok’s eyes widen in realization, quickly wrapping his own jacket around his waist while Jimin fixed his hat just right on his head to hide his adorable floppy ears.

“Alright, I’m ready! Hyung, no one will want to talk to you with a grumpy face,” Hoseok tried to put a smile on Yoongi’s face with his fingers, only to be slapped away lightly.

“Alright, alright! Let’s just get this over with,” Yoongi sighed out with a slight smile, running a hand through his messy jet-black hair, walking away from his amused friends.

All four of them waited behind the counter for someone to greet them, until Hoseok’s excitement got the best of him as he rang the ding bell constantly. The sound echoing loud across the room making Namjoon put a stop to it immediately, just as another male’s voice was heard coming out from the backroom.

“I apologize for the wait; it takes a lot of work to make sure all Hybrids are comfortable. Especially when it comes to the opposite sexes,” The man explains with a gentle smile, not making eye contact yet as he gathers an application together to sign on a clip board.

Yoongi eyed the guy skeptically, it was obvious the man was exhausted trying to balance everything in the shelter and yet he still wore a bright smile. He would be lying if he weren’t curious why the guy was still working here, even after noticing a trash bin full of empty to go coffee cups.

“It’s fine. I actually have two hybrids of my own, so—” Namjoon glanced at a beaming Jimin and Hoseok, only to be interrupted mid-sentence by the one they were here for. “Why do you work here? You’re obviously exhausted and those empty coffee cups are not to be sneezed at.”

The blunt question caught the man off guard, head snapping up dumbfounded. Everyone else not even surprised from Yoongi’s inquire. All of them deciding to focus on a pamphlet next to the desk that caught their eye, the title reading ‘Which Hybrid fits your personality? Take the test!’

It was quite awhile until the man decided to speak, only snapping out of it when Yoongi scoffed from not receiving a reply. “Ah, sorry… it’s just you’re question caught me by surprise! I don’t just work here, I’m the owner. This shelter is known for its high success rate on Hybrids finding excellent homes. We have Hybrids with many diverse breeds and backgrounds, which is why I pride myself that they find owners they feel safer with than their previous ones. It is an exhausting job to keep up with, but it’s worth it in the end when you see Hybrids blossom in countless ways once adopted,” The confession made Hoseok and Jimin’s tail wag in happiness, eyes now concentrating on the man presenting many polaroid photos stuck on the wall behind a glass case for display.

Yoongi squinted at the photos, finally noticing that each one was with different Hybrid or Hybrids and their new owner. They all look extremely happy, not a trace of deception in their eyes or posture. It made Yoongi relax a tiny bit, tense shoulders easing away as his eyes that once held a sharp intensity melted away into a calmer pool of chocolate. His facial expression turning from integration mode to a neutral one.

“Yoongi! It says in this pamphlet that a regular cat hybrid would work best for someone like you. You’ll be the little meow-meow team,” Jimin commented with a cheeky grin as Hoseok giggled, both attracting the attention of the worker as Yoongi rolled his eyes.

“Regular cat Hybrids are immensely self-sufficient; they require a little bit less attention than a exotic feline Hybrid. However, we always double check to make sure a specific Hybrid would be for you or not. I know you mentioned that you have Hybrids of your own, are you also adopting or dropping off…?” The man questioned, trailing off with a raised eyebrow noticing Hoseok’s and Jimin’s tail wagging behind the jackets. The two hybrid eyes widen, turning towards Namjoon with a bit of a whine and sad eyes.

“Ah, no. We’re actually here to just look around—Oh! Sorry, my name is Namjoon. I’m guessing you already guessed these are my hybrids Jimin and Hoseok. They wanted to tag along, and you already met Yoongi. He’s the one we’re here for,” Namjoon shaking the workers hand, before they followed him to the back.

“Sujin—Looking around is perfectly fine, we don’t ever want to pressure an owner to get a Hybrid. That would not be fun for either you or them. Though for our Hybrids safety measures in case you do decide to adopt, we need to do background checks and gather information,” The man explained, handing an application to fill out to the oldest. Yoongi nodding in understanding, not minding giving any information that was needed. Don’t get him wrong, he still wasn’t adopting but he also understood protocol. Especially since this involved the safety of someone’s life that wasn’t his own.

Sujin started typing away immediately on the computer at his desk once getting the information he needed, sounds of clicking from the keyboard was heard throughout the quiet room. “So, what breed are your hybrids?” He asked curiously.

“Jimin is a red fox Hybrid and Hoseok is a golden retriever. We have a friend named Seokjin that also has two hybrids. A bunny named Jungkook and Taehyung, who’s a white tiger—” The man stopped typing, turning in his chair to fully face them with shock written all over his face. The three startled from the sudden action.

“You’re friend has a prey and predator in the same house? That’s risky, there is no possible chance that they would get along! Prey and predators should be separated, as well as the different family of species,” He explained sternly, Namjoon waving the warning off with his hand. Seokjin and him were used to warnings like this from everyone they met.

Yoongi frowned at the new information, he didn’t know that it was dangerous to have families of different breeds around each other. Though that didn’t make sense… the four hybrids get along so well, even their parents. They all practically grew up together!

“Believe me, I heard the lecture before. All of us were raised together from a young age—We actually met each other through out parents because they all own businesses together,” Namjoon said, Yoongi nodding in agreement as the two hybrids smiled brightly.

“All of our parents own a Clinic and Restaurant just for Hybrids! Seokjin’s, Namjoon’s, and Yoongi’s parents adopted our parents as a favor so none of us would be separated forcefully by the law. When they wanted to move here in the city, our parents gave Namjoon and Seokjin adoption rights since we’re all like brothers and none of us wanted to be separated!” Hoseok smiled, pulling everyone into a group hug despite Yoongi’s weak attempt to push them away.

Sujin smiled at the interaction softly before getting up from his chair, hand on a door knob to a completely different room that they haven’t been through yet. “That’s a nice story. Now, are you ready to meet the Hybrids?”

Namjoon and the two hybrids didn’t hesitate to follow through the door, Yoongi dragging his feet to follow them. The only reason he was here was because he promised Namjoon that he would at least come to look at some Hybrids.

“We have singles, packed, and mated Hybrids. Packs and mated Hybrids should always be together, but I’m assuming a single is more for you. Especially since you told me that you’re work schedule takes up most of your time,” Yoongi nodded, his eyes scanning the bright colorful hallway as workers went from room to room with smiles. Suddenly, his hearing caught whining, head turning towards the noise where Yoongi saw through a crack in the door of a younger dog Hybrid crying as a nurse tried to sooth her, placing bandages on her scraped knee from tripping. The whining decreasing as a brown tail started to wag again, sniffing as she tried to wipe away her tears. He didn’t even notice that he stopped walking until his name was being called.

“Yoongi!” Namjoon shouted, the action making him snap out of it to see all four of them waiting at the end of the hallway with curious expressions. Yoongi shook his head, rushing to catch up with them as they went through another door to find Hybrids on either side interacting with each other, some playing while transformed or others in their human form talking in the corners.

“Here we have our Leporids family and order of the Rodentia Hybrids. Basically our small Hybrids, such as: Bunnies, hamsters, chinchillas, sugar gliders, guinea pigs and so on—The glass is just there for protection since they get too excited when someone comes by. They only are in this room when someone comes to look around to adopt,” The man explains, gesturing to another worker walk by with a couple following, both cooing at all the Hybrids playing with each other.

Jimin and Hoseok were instantly attached to the glass, both watching all the transformed Hybrids play with each other until they noticed them. Each Hybrid on both sides, rushing to the glass to try and get their attention.

Yoongi looked around, noticing the left contained the boys and girls were on the right. Hoseok was already entranced by a tiny hamster, Namjoon tried pulling him away but even he was breaking from the cute expression the hamster was giving them.

Not really interested in any of them, Yoongi walked towards the door to the next room, waiting patiently with hands in his jacket pockets. It wasn’t until the hamster noticed Hoseok’s tail showing, wagging behind him softly did it squeak and run away, a pout on his face as Jimin tried to comfort the dog. Namjoon not wasting any time to escort them to the next room.

“Here we have our—” Sujin tried to explain only for Hoseok to scream in fear, bumping into a startled Jimin as Namjoon and Yoongi tried to hold in their laughter. Right as Hoseok walked through the door, a female cougar jumped against the glass with its own roar, her tail waving around playfully. The playful prank scared Hoseok to almost jumping a good amount in the air, Jimin glared at the female as a growling rumbled in his chest lowly.

Sujin coughed into his hand to cover up his laughter before scolding the cougar, her tail still waving playfully as her eyes sparkled in mischief. She even looked like her animal form was grinning.

“My heart…Oh my god,” Hoseok walked away with a hand on his heart, Jimin following closely behind as Namjoon and Yoongi laughed.

Yoongi looked around, smiling politely at the cat Hybrids but gently shaking his head when they looked at him with hopeful eyes. It wasn’t long before they were lead to the canines, many of them wagging their tail in excitement to see people. Jimin started to pout when seeing that Yoongi didn’t seem to have any interest in the Canidae family. Though when a dog tried to catch Yoongi’s attention, only to be ignored since he was busy on his phone did Jimin finally get annoyed.

Arriving back at the office, Jimin politely told Sujin to excuse them for a moment. When the door closed fully is when things started to blow up.

“Do you hate hybrids or something?! There was a lovely Hybrid dog trying to get your attention and you brushed him off for your phone! Even if you don’t want to adopt one, the least you could do is seem interested—No, hyung! I’m talking,” Jimin growled, his fox tail bristling in irritation as Namjoon tried to intervene.

“I was checking for work. You know, the job that feeds me and keeps a roof over my head! Not all of us have owners that they don’t need to worry about their next meal,” Yoongi scoffed, meeting Jimin’s glare in full force. Hoseok feeling the change in mood started to whine sadly, not liking the way this was going.

Namjoon watched the two friends bicker back and forth, irritation starting to swell up in him as he pinched the bridge of his nose. This was not how this day was supposed to go.

“You care more about your job than us! We’re practically family and yet, you’d rather spend your days locked up lately! Well, you know what?! Don’t bother coming to the house! Don’t bother calling for anything! You want to be alone, then fine, be alone! Spend time wasting away on your trashy music—”

“Park Jimin!!” Namjoon shouted out, a hard stern glare directed at the fox hybrid. Jimin’s teary eyes widen in realization on what he said in a fit of anger, a soft whine escaping him as guilt consumed him seeing Yoongi’s expression full of hurt.

“Yoongi, I—”

“Don’t…” Yoongi practically hissed out with his fist clenched at his side, looking down so his bangs covered his eyes before running out of the office with a loud bang making workers jump in fright. No one bothered to question or stop him, feeling the tension in the air as Yoongi walked out of the building and down the street. It was getting dark, but he didn’t want to be in a car with anyone right now.

He walked in anger, lost in his thoughts but soon that anger turned to sadness as guilt set in. Yoongi knew Jimin didn’t mean what he said, he was just hurt that they haven’t been hanging out much lately. Jimin always praised how good of a song he wrote every time hearing something new.

Another buzzing from his phone did Yoongi realized how many hours already passed, his phone filled with messages and missed calls.

It was only when it started to rain did he curse underneath his breath, stopping near an alley to call for a taxi to take him home. However, a small weak sound made him freeze in place.

Yoongi frowned, putting his phone away to try and focus on any other sound that weren’t hard rain hitting the pavement. Hearing the same sound is when he slowly walked into the alley, his eyes narrowed and on alert in case someone tried to jump him.

“This is ridiculous,” Yoongi muttered, about to turn around to head home when the sound echoed out louder behind some trash bags. The sound coming off like a weak warning, Yoongi raised an eyebrow already pulling his phone out to turn the flashlight mode on before pulling away trash bags to see something he wasn’t expecting.

There you laid, transformed in your cat form. Your usually soft black fur was wet and had dried blood around some wounds. You were freezing and starving, you were sure that you’d die here. Transformed is the only thing keeping you alive right now.

The energy you had was gone, but the smell and sound of a human nearby made you snap your bright green eyes open in fear. Weak warning sounds erupting from your mouth as you tried to stand up but found that you were too exhausted.

Your vision was getting blurry, barely managing to make out a male around your age about to reach for you.

No… you couldn’t fight him off, you hardly could keep your eyes open. Gathering as much possible strength, you managed to swipe at his hand with your claws in anger, tail puffing out in so much fear.

Curses left his mouth, and you were afraid that you angered him even though you were just trying to defend yourself. A long sigh escaped him as shuffling was heard until you felt warmth envelope you. The smell of cologne and a hint of vanilla reaching your nose before movement made you hiss again, but this time in pain.

You couldn’t even concentrate on the soothing voice trying to comfort you, the position you are in was putting a lot of pressure on your wounds.

It wasn’t until that he adjusted your body in his arms did you feel better, though you were still cautious. Your warning cries being ignored by him as your ears twitched hearing a phone dialing for someone.

The warmth around you was making it so hard to stay awake, but you needed too. You didn’t know this man, for all you knew he could be dangerous. What if he tried to hurt you when your guard was down? The sudden thought making you squirm to get free even more, despite the pain, only to feel gentle pats against the warmth barrier you were in.

It made you freeze in place, not knowing what to do.

What was this guy doing? Was he… hitting you?

However, it feels to soft to be a hit, you couldn’t help admitting that it was soothing. You lost the fight to the darkness this time as you closed your eyes, exhaustion consuming you immediately.

Welcome to the first chapter of Changing One's Tune! The next chapters will deal more with you in the picture. What do you think Yoongi will do after finding you?

Likes, Comments, Reblogs, and Follows are very much appreciated if you enjoy the story, it's always exciting to know that you like my writing and gives me more motivation to update faster!

Perking up at that specific smell, your cat instincts screaming to kick in as it became harder to control in your transformation form. You licked your lips, tail waving back and forth in mischief while positioning into a more battle stance.

You couldn’t focus on the voices speaking amongst themselves, your only concentration was focusing on a plan of attack as you waited until the bunny hybrid’s scent got closer.

Just a little more… NOW! You pounced, knocking over the frames in the process as you fell to the floor gracefully, teeth and claws digging into your prey as surprised squeals were heard above.

Jeans, that’s all you tasted as you cracked open an eye to see that you were holding a single leg hostage near the ground. This was unusual, you were sure that you had jumped extremely high to be able to at least be at thigh or waist length.

Confused, your eyes widen when looking straight up to see a tall bunny looking down at you. Bunny hybrids weren’t supposed to be this tall… right?! The sound of chuckling had your eyes darting around your surroundings. Finally noticing an amused fox hybrid, a brightly smiling golden retriever, and lastly a white tiger hybrid that you now recognize as Taehyung, who was trying to hold in his laughter.

“Wow, you really got all the females wanting and clinging to you,” Jimin teased the youngest, Jungkook rolling his eyes before breaking out into a wide bunny smile at the comment. He didn’t even get scared despite a predator attached to his leg, you seem to be more scared of him anyways.

You released the pair of jeans in your mouth, paling at the size of the hybrid that you didn’t expect and being nearby three others. It didn’t help that these male hybrids looked exactly as if they were carved by angels.

Embarrassed and scared, you stumbled away from the tall bunny as fear set back in, scrambling to your feet to take off running out the door. Tripping over your tail as a scared meow fell from your lips before falling on your face in the middle of the hallway, hearing them follow after you.

Yoongi… you needed Yoongi!

Back on your feet, you followed the three other voices in the living room, the sound of loud laughter could be heard even a mile away. You didn’t even care that you scared one of the tall males, his screams not bothering you one bit as he was close to jumping onto the other male’s lap.

Your main focus was on the surprised Yoongi, jumping over many obstacles to be able to climb up his body without using claws, stopping, and resting on his shoulders.

“Does she normally do that?” Namjoon asked seeing your whole body shaking and gripping his brother as if your life depended on it. He heard about how you still didn’t trust Yoongi, never letting him touch or pick you up. Only being comfortable to at least be in the same room, so it came as a complete shock when you were all over Yoongi.

“No. This is actually the first time—What did you guys do to her?” Yoongi frowned at the hybrids that came tumbling into the room with sheepish smiles, noticing how you tensed and started to let out warning hisses when seeing them.

“Huh—Nothing, I swear!” Hoseok’s eyes widen, shaking his hands frantically around seeing Namjoon, Seokjin, and Yoongi giving all of them stern stares. He winced seeing and smelling your scared state, tail slowing to a stop. Maybe they did go a little too far on not giving you space and chasing you.

“I think she got scared when seeing Jungkook,” Jimin explained as Taehyung agreed with a light chuckle, Jungkook pouting lightly at seeing you in distress. Seokjin snorted, ruffling Jungkook’s hair to cheer him up, the youngest whining at his hair messing up. Pushing his friend slightly, Seokjin let out a yelp as he tripped and fell making everyone laugh.

You observed the interaction with narrowed eyes, analyzing each and every one of them. They appeared to be really close to one another, and it seemed more like an interaction between siblings than owners.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. My name is Jungkook,” A voice spoke, sounding closer than before as you turned to the side, almost jumping a few feet in the air when seeing the bunny hybrid staring at you with wide eyes. He was face-to-face with a large smile, when did he get so close? You didn’t think you zoned out that long, deep in your thoughts.

Jungkook reached out slowly to brush his fingers in your fur, but one warning cry had him backing off with reassurance shining in his eyes that he understood you didn’t want to be touched.

“Jk, she doesn’t understand that you’re not trying to hurt her. She’s not a hybrid like you are,” Seokjin shook his head in amusement at the innocent introduction he just displayed to the new feline, the oldest found it cute and he wasn’t the only one thinking so as Namjoon laughed, everyone staring with such fondness at the youngest.

You felt relived when hearing the comment, they didn’t believe you were a hybrid. Though, you saw Jungkook scrunch up his nose in slight confusion, staring at the oldest for a long moment in silence. You stiffened when he opened his mouth, about to say something, only to get nudged in the shoulder by an innocently smiling fox.

“Right, he knows that, but actually Taehyung once told me that cats are very sensitive to the tones of voices or sounds. They can understand us by following the softness of your voice compared to a hard tone and since were hybrids, we have a more likely chance of communicating with them than you do—So lovely, my name is Jimin,” The fox hybrid explained, playfully bowing like a knight to a princess. You stared at him in suspicion, there was a certain glint in his eyes that you recognized. It spelled mischief right away, Jimin knew something that you didn’t.

“That’s right, I remember reading about that somewhere—Maybe if we introduce ourselves gently, she might feel more relaxed,” Namjoon recognized the familiar information. Yoongi hummed softly at learning something new, glad that he occasionally talked to you every now and then about what he was doing whenever coming closer to you.

Listening intently, you couldn’t help but find it amusing when seeing them talk about you and how to introduce themselves without scaring you. The only ones who didn’t seem too concern were the hybrids, mostly staying quiet until one got impatient.

“Hello! My name is Hoseok, but I also go by Hobi!” Your attention turning towards an excited golden retriever, his tail wagging in happiness again. Hoseok didn’t make any action or movement that he was going to get closer, which you were very grateful for. You didn’t know how much stress you could take if another person tried to get near you, flight or fight instincts being close to taking over.

Hoseok was giving off a calming vibe, something about him just made you feel at ease. It was unusual for a canine hybrid to do such a thing, especially since you both were complete opposites in the animal family. Hesitating you let out a meow of acknowledgement that made him brighten up like the sun. “Guys, did you see that?! She said hi to me!!”

Yoongi smiled softly that you at least interacted with one of his friends, to him that was a big step since Hoseok was a first-time stranger to you. “She already met Taehyung, but this is Seokjin,” He introduced to the tiger hybrid and oldest, Taehyung giving you a toothy grin, showing off his canines while his tail wagged in delight.

You perked right up at the tiger hybrid, since he was a fellow feline, you felt more comfortable with him. However, your tail slightly flickered in annoyance remembering how he immobilized you like a newborn kitten… you were still bitter about that. Though before you could even express anything, a sudden voice caught your attention.

“Now, wait a meow-ment! I’m more than capable of introducing myself to the purr-ty cat,” Seokjin huffed out, laughing real loud seconds later at his own puns. You saw him practically fall to the floor, his face turning red as the laughter turned silent. He looked almost like a seal clapping their hands together.

It wasn’t long before the rest of the guys started to laugh at their own friend, even Yoongi’s shoulders were shaking from the laughter that you had to jump off to sit on a tall shelf. The sound echoed throughout the room as you watched them closely with curious eyes.

Biting your lip, you buried yourself in your tail as your body shook from amusement, trying to hide your emotion from them. They had such contagious laughter, and the mood around the room had you wanting to laugh too.

Yoongi was the first one to realize that you disappeared, not feeling your weight on him anymore. Ignoring his friends, he scanned the room until seeing your black fur on a shelf, watching you shake. Frowning, Yoongi thought they scared you into hiding again from their outbursts, quickly guiding his friends away from the shelf and into the kitchen to give you some space.

“Yah! —Yoongi, have you been living like a cave man?! Where is all your food?” You flinched at the loud voice, completely startled when hearing Seokjin yell out loud. Shivering in fear, your tail twitched in nervousness… he sounded so annoyed. Yoongi has been feeding you nothing but the food he cooks when finding out that you refused to eat cat food, but the portions that have been given has not satisfied your hunger. Which is why you always snuck out snacks to eat whenever he was sleeping or away doing errands and work.

What if Seokjin gets angry and punishes you for doing such a thing? Ears flattening, you peeked towards the kitchen and expected to see angry faces, only to find smiles and an oldest playfully scolding about taking better care of certain things.

“What? I just bought some… I didn’t think that I’ve been cooking Y/N that much food,” Yoongi walked over to search the cabinets with Seokjin, only finding cereal boxes and can goods that wouldn’t even feed a large rat.

“Y/N?” Namjoon questioned with a frown, not familiar with any female they’ve met or were friends with having such a name. Scrunching up his nose, Namjoon tried to remember if Yoongi ever came across or mentioned a Y/N but came up clueless.

Your cat ears twitched, hearing the name you were given at birth. This caught your interest quite fast, not bothering to make any movement that you heard Yoongi saying your name, wanting to watch what happens between all of them as they looked on in confusion.

“Who is that? Are you dating someone? —Why didn’t you tell us, especially me?! We’re family!” Hoseok whined, doggy ears going flat in sadness at Yoongi keeping secrets from them and him. Though the accusations of Yoongi dating you made warmth go through you in embarrassment, your face would be extremely red from blushing if you were in your human form. Shaking your head to get rid of incoming thoughts, you heard Taehyung and Jungkook whine too, both complaining to an eye rolling Yoongi.

“You guys are morons—Y/N is…” Yoongi was trying to explain but Jimin cut him off almost immediately.

“Your girlfriend!! …I can’t believe you would betray us like that! Spending more time with this woman and cooking her food, what about us?! We deserve some love too!” Jimin huffed out, tackling the man in question with a soft whine as his bright red fox tail wrapped around Yoongi’s leg. Your eyes narrowed at the affectionate interaction; he might as well sprayed a can of his scent all over the man.

Biting back a hiss, you fought against your instincts to protect your territory from strangers you were still not familiar with… and that included protecting Yoongi from another hybrid’s scent. You had to bite down on your tail when the rest of the hybrids joined in on the group hug with similar complainants.

No… if you reacted to this then that would give the hybrids a reason to start digging more into your life. You didn’t need that, not now or ever.

“Stop being dumb, I’m not dating anyone. I named the cat Y/N today, she’s the one I’ve been cooking for,” Yoongi snorted out, pushing the hybrids away as you released your tail in relief, winching afterwards when finally feeling the affect of your bite. Man, your tail was definitely going to be sore tomorrow from the force.

Everyone blinked for a second, processing the new information before facepalming themselves at their idiocy. Rolling your eyes, you grinned on the inside seeing realization slowly appear in their eyes. Wow, the lights are on, and the mall is open but I’m not sure anyone is in their shopping. They completely forgot that minor detail that cats needed a name, all of them groaning at the new information that was obvious since you were a female cat. Even the hybrids were disappointed in themselves.

“Wow… I feel dumb,” Taehyung mumbled to himself as Jungkook and Hoseok nodded in agreement.

“Honestly, I think Namjoon should feel more stupid… he is the one with a genius level IQ,” Jimin chuckled to himself, teasing his friend as Namjoon blushed, trying to spit out an excuse but ending up pinching Jimin’s fox ears making him yelp in slight pain. The fox hybrid rubbing his ears, glaring at a satisfied expression on Namjoon.

“Alright, enough. We were going to cook something, but take-out will have to do instead for today,” Seokjin snickered, pulling out a phone to place an order at their favorite restaurant. He already knew what to order and what everyone would want, having enough experience with his friends to know them like the back of his hand.

Yawning to yourself, you saw all of them getting excited about food before jumping off the shelf in silence. Walking over to the couch, hiding underneath it again since you didn’t trust any of them yet. Yoongi being the only one that you were comfortable with to sleep outside from underneath the furniture.

You laid there, listening intently but refusing to fall asleep just yet for two reasons. One was to be on guard when it came to the hybrids, and another was that you didn’t trust yourself to not make the same mistake that you did with Taehyung. You let your guard down that day when you were drugged up on a sedative, and you only prayed that your barrier was still up while asleep.

“Y/N? Where are you?” Yoongi’s voice broke you out of your thoughts, not wasting time to slide out from the couch with ease. Head tilting in curiosity seeing him brighten up when laying eyes on you, the happiness radiating off him catching you off guard for a second. “There you are kitten. I’ll be right back, we need to go pick up food, these guys would be lost without me there.”

The nickname had you looking away shyly even if you knew he didn’t really mean anything by it, not knowing you were a hybrid, but it still made a tingle go through you when Yoongi said it. “…Also, Jungkook and Taehyung won rock, paper, scissors to stay here with you until we come back.”

Freezing in place, you completely ignored any other information, head snapping towards Yoongi with wide eyes seeing his lips move but hearing no sound.

I’m sorry, what?

Yoongi was going to leave you here with tall bunny and Gucci tiger?! Hissing to show your true feelings against that plan, he rolled his eyes before giving you a soft smile. “I know, I know, but you’ll be fine. I promise, and if your not… I’ll make sure to leave lovely purple roses on your grave,” Yoongi chuckled seeing your deadpanned expression, tail coming to a halt from swishing around.

Huffing, you squinted past Yoongi to stare at the hybrids that were asking a bunch of questions towards Seokjin. All of them making sure the oldest got the order correct when seeing him get off the phone. Turning your attention back to Yoongi, you sticked your tongue out a tiny bit with a glare. The action that was meant to be an insult had the music composer finding it adorable.

“Fine, kitten. If you promise to at least not attack any of them, unless you feel that you actually need to… I’ll make sure to share half of my meat with you when I come back,” Yoongi sighed, not believing he’s trying to make a deal with a cat to not tear his friends apart. Though he will never admit it, Yoongi was always going to share with you and his meet since you haven’t eaten anything yet.

Narrowing your eyes at him, Yoongi raised an eyebrow at you not cracking under the deal. Maybe cats really couldn’t understand human talk, but his eyes widen when you meowed in defeat, crawling back into your hide away.

Hearing shuffling as Yoongi’s scent got farther away, you ignored the conversations that started up again. Relaxing farther into one of the shirts you stole from Yoongi’s closet, the familiar scent putting you at ease.

Every time you would have nightmares or panic attacks, you didn’t hesitate to come straight away in your little spot. Yoongi’s smell bringing comfort because it was the same scent you smelt wrapped around you that day… the scent reminding you that a human saved your life.

The sound of the front door slammed shut, nothing but silence afterwards made you believe that Taehyung and Jungkook might have changed their minds about tagging along with the rest of the guys. You couldn’t smell them neither, their recent scents and faded smells were mixing together around the apartment making it difficult to pinpoint if they were still here or not.

You were too comfortable to even get up and look around, deciding to wait a few minutes to listen for any little sound. When it seemed all clear, your vision got blurry as you faded in and out of sleep, tail falling upon your closed eyes as a sleeping mask.

Just as you were dozing off, you felt something furry snuggle up into your side, but it stopped moving just as fast. Thinking it was your imagination, you fully let sleep consume you while letting out a content sigh at the familiar scent. Not realizing that soft purrs rumbled throughout your body, unconsciously.

Welcome to the fifth chapter of Changing One's Tune! First introduction with the guys... what happens next and who is that furry thing in your side?

He scoffed when not receiving a reply as Taehyung brushed his head against Yoongi’s leg as a greeting, the grumpiness fading out of him at the tiger’s display of affection. Not wasting time to put on his shoes, Yoongi scratched behind Taehyung’s ears before they both headed down into the elevator and down to the lobby. Many people staring at the large feline in fascination and some in fear, not realizing Taehyung was a hybrid.

“Window down?” Yoongi asked when they both got into the car. Taehyung nodding eagerly as he pawed at the closed window glass until it was lowered down, sticking his head out and opening his mouth wide to feel the fresh air.

When they arrived at the animal hospital, Taehyung was in his human form while Sujin was already waiting for them with a bright smile and papers in his hand. “Yoongi, Taehyung, good to see you both. I have the official adoption papers for you right here! When you figure out a name, just write it down in the blank space.”

Yoongi nodded in understanding, going over the papers as Taehyung looked over his shoulder with a glint in his eyes, tiger tail flickering happily at having another feline in the group.

Sujin led the two of them inside the hospital after the papers were checked out, waving down a nurse that immediately recognized the hybrid shelter owner. The female opening the two large doors for them with a key card as she guided them to their destination where a bunch of doctors waited in worry.

“Oh, thank god! Sujin and Min Yoongi, we have an issue involving the cat…” One of the doctors felt relieved but hesitated to explain the situation seeing Yoongi’s stern expression and Taehyung’s blank one, both appearing intimidating.

Suddenly, Taehyung’s ears perked up as his nose twitched, the scent that was on Yoongi a month ago even stronger now. Just like Jimin said, there was a hint of hybrid in the smell, and he could tell the feline was female from the sweet scent alone. However, Taehyung could also smell that you were beyond stressed and frightened.

“What happened? Are they okay?” Sujin asked in concern as Yoongi frowned, hoping that it was nothing too serious if they were injured again or sick. Taehyung looked between them and the doctor, eyes narrowed as curiosity built up in his chest.

“Yes, everything is fine—It’s just that ever since they’ve been gaining their strength back, they have been more aggressive toward humans. We believe their previous owner made a major traumatizing impact that all they know is defense mode. We’re hoping that the scent of the guy who saved their life would help calm them, it’s also good you brought another feline. They seem to respond well with other feline hybrids,” The doctor clarified as Yoongi nodded and Taehyung brightened up at being able to help, already heading towards the door.

They all walked in the examination room cautiously, being alert of the carful warning that was issued to them. You watched silently from in the shadows underneath a chair, your eyes narrowed as you saw the legs of four figures. The smell of a male hybrid tiger peeking your interest, until a familiar scent took your whole attention.

You recognized this scent… it was that strange guy who was softly hitting you.

“Did they escape? I don’t see them anywhere,” A male’s voice questioned, his voice sounded low… almost husky and slightly raspy. It was much different than all the other males in this hospital that you’ve heard so far.

“No, they’re definitely still here,” Another voice spoke up, this one deep and low.

“They must be hiding somewhere then. Do not worry, Min Yoongi. We’ll locate your new cat as soon as possible,” A gravelly voice spoke making you slightly flinch at the sound but perking back up hearing the comment.

Min Yoongi?

So that’s his name… wait a second. What did they mean new cat? You’re tail flickered in irritation at the sudden thought of you going back to another home. You still didn’t know this guy; he may have saved your life but that doesn’t give him a green light because even the devil was an angel once.

It wasn’t until you heard the sound of sniffing as a figure moved around the room did you tense up, the sudden scent of fear waving off you gaining the hybrids attention. You didn’t even have time to blink before someone pulled you out from underneath the chair, your eyes widening as you let out a hiss in warning.

The doctor holding you in a way that secured your arms and legs, you didn’t hesitate to bite down on his hand vigorously making him drop you immediately as you landed on your feet.

Your eyes zoomed in on two other males in the room, body on guard as you glared with a warning cry. Ears pinned back and your tail was puffed up as you watched the doctor trying to pick you up again. Do they even have a brain?

“Don’t. They’re obviously scared, and your only making it worse,” Yoongi spoke coldly at the doctor. You’re sights now directed towards the male with the familiar scent, this guy must be the one called Yoongi. He seemed to be slightly older than you by three years, and you’re not afraid to admit that he was cute.

When the doctor eased away from you, following Yoongi’s order is when you relaxed slightly. However, you were so focused on the male that you didn’t notice Taehyung had shifted, the feeling of someone grabbing you by the neck. You’re whole body went limp in the tiger’s grasp as you stiffened in alarm.

“Taehyung!”

You felt anxiety start to rise again, not liking that the tiger hybrid or “Taehyung” was immobilizing you like a baby cub.

It wasn’t until you felt a sharp prick on your side that you let out a loud cry, sleepiness clouding your vision as you felt slightly more relaxed. Especially when Taehyung started to purr, the rumbling having a calming effect.

“There you go… the sedative I injected them with is a small dose and will leave them feeling relaxed. However, they’ll still be responsive and aware of their surrounds—It should last up to 15 or 30 minutes,” You heard the doctor say to Yoongi, a frown upon your face.

Those assholes…

~

“Yeah, it seems best for you guys to wait seeing them until tomorrow or after a couple of days. They were stressed at the hospital—No, yeah I can drop off Tae…” Yoongi spoke into his phone as you stared sleepily at Taehyung, the tiger staring at you in curiosity while you laid in the animal carrier.

After a while, you felt a pressure against the barrier you put up that was blocking off other hybrids. You’re eyes narrowing slightly when seeing Taehyung stare at you intensely, he was trying to communicate with you…

Rolling your eyes and using all your strength, you managed to cover your eyes with a single paw. The pressure faded away rather quickly as your ears twitched hearing the tiger move and a car window roll down, Taehyung thinking you fell asleep. Yoongi’s scent made it’s way in your nose as the sound and feel of the loud wind brushing through your black fur made you start to fall asleep.

However, falling asleep also meant your guard was down… as well as the barrier you’ve been putting up against hybrids.

Taehyung snapped his head towards you sharply, the tiger’s eyes widening smelling that hybrid scent of yours rolling off in waves. You’re full scent smelled like honey and cinnamon; the lovely scent had the tiger almost purring. He couldn’t wait to tell the others, especially Jimin who was right all along.

When the car stopped, Taehyung didn’t waste any time to jump out the window and run towards Seokjin in excitement when seeing him waiting outside their house. If he was home then it meant Namjoon should be at home, and that means Jimin was home too.

Yoongi waved goodbye with a slight smile before turning to check on you in the cat carrier and driving off. It didn’t take long for him to arrive home, nodding to the security at his apartment building while carrying the carrier as gently as he could, trying not to wake you up.

“Alright. Here you go, this is your new home I guess—Son of a… I’ve gone crazy. I’m talking to a cat that doesn’t even understand or hear what I am saying,” The music composer muttered with a frown, pulling your sleeping body out to place you on the living room carpet.

Staring at you, it was then that Yoongi realized one minor detail as he scrunched up his nose. He forgot to ask about your gender.

Sighing, Yoongi hesitantly lifted your tail up just as you stared to wake up. You’re mind trying to focus on what was going on until you felt a sudden motion from behind making your eyes widening, yanking the tail out of Yoongi’s grip with a hiss.

His eyes widen seeing you practically glaring at him while holding your tail protectively, Yoongi swore you looked almost embarrassed too. Huffing, you stumbled to rush and hide underneath the couch as you watched Yoongi take off his shoes before heading in the hallway.

One thing was for sure that Yoongi understood then… you were definitely a female cat.

Laying underneath the couch, different scents of six other males were around in the room making you’re tail flicker in curiosity. From what you could tell, it was two humans and four hybrids. The smell of two hybrids in the canine family and one bunny made your cat side bristle in a tiny bit of annoyance.

It was obvious they don’t live here but spent quite a lot of time here.

Getting the courage, you slowly got out from underneath from your hiding spot as the giant ceiling to floor window caught your attention immediately. Eyes widening seeing such a beautiful view outside, with you’re last owner you were never allowed to do anything, so this was the first time seeing the entire city.

As you took a step forward to get closer, your paws hit something that dingle. The sudden sound making you look down to see a cat toy, scoffing in offense you swiped it away. Finally getting a good look around, you realized this whole side was filled with cat toys making you baffled. This guy is one of those crazy cat lovers, isn’t he?

Sighing, you walked away from the toy chaos, your steps sounding nonexistence from how quiet they were. You explored more of the house until you came across a door that was slightly ajar, music blasting loudly from inside as you took a quick peek to see Yoongi sitting at his desk with his back towards the door.

He seemed to be focused on writing something down, it wasn’t until a grumble made you hesitantly look away as your stomach screamed to be fed. The hospital would feed you but not as much to feed a hybrid, and after they finalized you were just a regular cat it was then doctors switched to wet cat food making you stay far away from the gross slop.

Heading into the kitchen, you sat on the floor with a frown in front of the counter. You wished nothing more than to transform back into your human self, but you still didn’t trust Yoongi, and it was safer for you to be a cat than it was to be a human girl.

You narrowed your eyes in full concentration, cat tongue sticking out slightly as you jumped on the marble counter.

Sniffing around, you found yourself at one specific cupboard cabinet, standing on both legs to try and open it. At your old owner’s place, you would always sneak into the kitchen like this to find anything to munch on in the cabinets. Something they wouldn’t notice gone, which is how you became an expert on opening these damn doors with just little paws.

However, you were never good on the part to not make a mess.

You flinched when hearing the sound of a few cans and glass jars falling out of the pantry, hitting the floor with a loud crash. When you had found a cereal box, you had bitten in it to move only for your butt to do a domino affect as it crashed into many things, each one hitting the other afterwards.

“Guys? Don’t tell me you came back to make a mess,” Yoongi’s voice echoed throughout the hallway, footsteps sounding louder the more he got closer.

Your ears stood in alarm as you’re breathing quickened, fear filling you about the sudden thought of Yoongi turning angry at the mess you made. Pushing the cereal box on the counter, you gripped it tightly in your teeth before jumping on the floor away from the broken glass.

Yoongi was startled when you had ran by him, your instincts telling you to hide back underneath the couch only for your source of food to be left behind in the rush to get away. He frowned at the cereal box by his feet, picking it up with questioning eyes and walking into the kitchen to see the huge mess. It was then that realization struck into Yoongi’s head, a lightbulb going off.

You were hungry.

He wasn’t even mad about the mess, already use to cleaning up after Namjoon or the other guys break something. You watched Yoongi’s feet head to a door, the smell of cleaning supplies in the air once it opened up as you saw the lower part of a broom drag it’s way towards the kitchen.

When you didn’t hear Yoongi yell or try to find you, shock ran through you’re body. Hesitating, you slowly came out from hiding to peek around the island, watching as Yoongi calmly cleaned up and was careful not to step on any broken glass.

It was then that Yoongi noticed your head peeking out of the corner, smiling softly at you. The sudden smile making your eyes widen before escaping back to safety in your very own hiding spot. A few minutes later, he passed by the couch talking to himself.

“Those idiots… they can buy everything but the damn cat food,” Yoongi rolled his eyes at not finding a single bag that was full of edibles for cats. He had half a mind to go to their house and criticize them all, but they probably would love the visit.

Instead, Yoongi decided to make them both meat for lunch that he was saving for dinner. He’ll go later on to buy food for you.

The delicious smell had filled the entire apartment, and you wanted nothing more than to eat whatever this guy was cooking but your fear was much stronger than you’re hunger. Grumbling to yourself, you got comfortable underneath the couch while curling up into a ball, it wasn’t the first time you went hungry anyways.

However, the sound of something being placed in front of the couch had you up in a battle stance, warning cries falling from you’re lips as a hum was heard. There on a plate, you saw an unseasoned piece of meat nearby with a bowl of water next to it.

You were suspicious at the food, this seemed way too good to be true and you knew he was still out there. Unexpectedly, movement started above the couch as your eyes widen at him being able to sneak up there without you noticing as the sound of the tv turned on.

Yoongi didn’t make any move to try and coax you out, understanding that you needed time until you were ready to be around him. So when warning cries were heard from underneath the couch, they were left ignored but not shushed.

God this guy has the patience of a stone.

You tried every little sound to make him get up and leave the living room in annoyance, but it wasn’t happening. In fact, Yoongi got even more comfortable as motion was heard before it felt like someone was laying down.

When the sound of his breathing slowed down slightly in a pattern, you cautiously looked towards the food on the plate. Maneuvering your way out of hiding and practically scarfing down the meat, you stilled in fear when hearing a little sound only to calm down once more at nothing happening.

It wasn’t long until your curious nature got the best of you again, walking slowly to the main couch and standing to see Yoongi dead asleep. Soft breathing leaving his lips as an arm was draped over his eyes.

Jumping onto the armrest, you stretched your paw to touch his nose, retracting just as fast in case he woke up. Though that’s when you noticed a single notebook on his chest, walking gently on the side of the couch and being careful not to touch the sleeping man.

You’re nose scrunched up when seeing it was female names on the paper, some crossed out and others with a question mark by it.

These are the names he was thinking of naming you? They were all terrible! Scoffing, you pawed at the notebook until it fell to the floor with a thump. The sound still not waking up Yoongi.

This was risky, but no way you were letting him name you these ridiculous names. Dragging the small book in the hallway, you transformed back into your human self. Almost sighing in sweet relief at being able to stretch your limps and crack any cramps out of the way before writing messily on the paper.

That was how Yoongi woke up to the notebook on the ground, and you sleeping peacefully in your cat form underneath the couch. One single word on the paper…

“Y/N.”

Welcome to the third chapter of Changing One's Tune! Damn, does Yoongi have the patience of a stone... but will the other guys feel the same way?

Likes, Comments, Reblogs, and Follows are appreciated if you enjoy the story, it's always exciting to know that you like my writing and it gives me more motivation to update faster!

Yoongi flinched when walking into the building, his eyes being used to the darkness outside making him have to blink a couple of times to adjust from the bright light. Many people turned their heads at a new presence, while most didn’t even spare a second glance.

Scanning the entire room, Yoongi didn’t waste time to rush at the front desk when spotting it, almost startling a female worker from seeing a soaked to the bone man rush towards her. “Um, how can I help you sir?” She questioned cautiously after noticing a pet wasn’t seen anywhere.

“Yeah, hi. I found this black cat in an alley, they’re hurt, and I didn’t know what to do—Shit, can you just help me?” Yoongi stumbled out as he carefully placed the bundle on the counter, peaking the females curiosity as she peeled back the article of clothing only to gasp seeing the state of condition you are in.

“Let’s not waste anymore time, we need to get them in the back to be examined by a doctor immediately. I just need from you to fill this out and sit in the waiting room,” The woman opened up a drawer to pull out papers to put them on a clipboard, handing them to Yoongi before scooping you up as if you were fragile glass.

Others might have thought he didn’t really care, Yoongi watching you go with an uninterested expression, but his eyes told a different emotion as concern flashed brightly. He did not mind that whatever treatment the doctors decide it will cost quite a fortune, his income being able to afford it.

It was then a familiar ringing echoed around his ears did Yoongi remember about a certain something… or somebodies in this case.

“Yoongi! Finally!! Do you know how worried we all were when you didn’t answer any of our calls or messages? What is a matter with you?! You know my heart can’t take this stress!” Seokjin’s scolding voice shouted through the speakers, Yoongi having to flinch the phone away from his poor ears because of the loud shrill volume. Even some people turned their heads when hearing little screaming.

“I know, I know… I’m sorry. I’ve been meaning to call but something—”

“Is that hyung?” Jungkook’s voice in the background interrupted him, the sound of struggles being heard on the other side. Yoongi sighed, sitting in an empty chair away from everyone else that was waiting with their pets to be seen. Jungkook and Seokjin was heard arguing back and forth for the phone, it wasn’t until other voices came on that he had enough already.

“Guys… Guys! —Look just come to…” Yoongi trailed off to try and find the name for this animal hospital, eventually looking down at the clipboard in his lap and giving it to them. “Oh and bring me a change of clothes, please.”

“Wait, what? Yoongi—” Seokjin tried to ask why, his tone of voice completely baffled only to be cut off as Yoongi hung up the phone. Not wasting time to fill out the papers that were needed for the hospital to continue, leaving some information blank, and checking that it was in order before he handed it in.

Sitting back down in the same seat, Yoongi relaxed only to shiver seconds later when finally feeling the cold air hit him since he was still wet from the rain. Though the thought on the way he found you, pushed the idea of going home to take a nice hot shower and snuggle up in his comfortable blankets.

Yoongi couldn’t believe that his day went from going to a hybrid shelter to, now, being at an animal hospital. He just hoped the injures on you weren’t as bad as they seemed.

Soon a yawn broke out, and it wasn’t long until he drifted off to sleep in the uncomfortable chair. However just as his eyes closed, they snapped back open when feeling someone roughly poking him hesitantly, almost as if they were scared to wake him.

His vision was blurry at first, needing to rub his eyes to focus on four figures standing in front of him with fearful expressions, a selfie stick in Seokjin’s hand that was used to poke him awake a good distance away.

“Yah! I’m too beautiful to die,” The oldest cried in fear as Namjoon, Hoseok, and Jungkook pushed him forward to Yoongi as a sacrificial lamp in case they were going to be murdered from waking him. Receiving only a blank stare is when they sighed in relief, if Yoongi wanted to kill them all then he would have done it by now.

Yoongi got up from the chair to stretch his limps out only to be shoved back down when someone practically tackled him in tears, a choked sound falling from his lips from the impact. Jimin had ran inside the hospital with Taehyung following closely behind, breaking down once Yoongi came into his sights.

“Yoongi!! I’m so sorry on what I said! I didn’t mean it; I love your music. It’s so lovely and you can always count on me for anything—Look, I even brought you the clothes you wanted!” The fox hybrid was in tears at remembering the fight that happened earlier, Jimin couldn’t handle that he was the reason one of his brother-like friends had been gone for hours without a word. Yoongi’s hurt expression haunting him since then.

“It’s fine. I’m sorry too, now please… get off me. You’re too heavy for someone’s height like yours,” Yoongi scoffed out, trying to push the hybrid off him that gasped dramatically in offense.

“My height?! You make it sound like you’re taller when we’re about the same!”

“Whatever. Either get off willingly or be pushed off,” Yoongi rolled his eyes with a small grin as everyone else laughed at Jimin’s pout, his fox tail waving around playfully behind him.

“Fine—Wait! Why do you…” Jimin frowned, his nose twitching as his fox ears and tail stood up tall in alert. Yoongi gave him a confused look, not quite understanding what Jimin wanted to say as he shut up, the hybrid inches away from his face to sniff the scent that smelled familiar. He would have thought Jimin was trying to be his flirty self, but the serious expression on his face was obvious he wasn’t.

Everyone was startled when Jimin pulled back, jumping off Yoongi’s lap with such speed as surprised etched all over his face. He was biting his bottom lip nervously, before dragging the hybrids away to whisper something to them as they looked at Yoongi as if he were an alien. All of them going to sniff the scent for themselves as Namjoon, Seokjin, and Yoongi watched on in confusion.

“Okay, what is going on with you four?” Namjoon asked with a raised eyebrow seeing the hybrids whispering to each other in a heated conversation. Hoseok glanced at his owner, his dog instincts told him to obey and spill everything but one look at Jimin had him turning his eyes to the floor. It was an odd thing to watch the hybrids being secretive, all of them use to sharing and knowing everything amongst themselves.

Yoongi got up from his chair, sharing the same knowing look from Seokjin and Namjoon as all three of them turned towards the hybrids with stern looks… more specially a certain hybrid.

“Jungkookie… speak. What got you guys worked up?” Seokjin frowned at the tall hybrid bunny, the name making his black ears stand tall upon currently receiving the unwanted attention.

Jungkook tried not to look at any of his hyungs, but one glance was all he needed to break. The youngest was never good at disobeying a serious order from them. Damn, why did they have to raise him so well? Jungkook let out a nervous squeal unconsciously, slapping a hand over his mouth only for his leg to start thumping against the ground. “I… Yoongi just—”

“You smell like a hybrid,” Taehyung blurted without hesitation when Jungkook started to stumble over his words. Hoseok and Jimin looking at the white tiger hybrid with shocked faces, their mouths dropping open.

“Tae!!” Jimin hissed, the feline hybrid blinking innocently with a frown.

“What?” Taehyung asked with a cute tilt of his head, white tiger ears twitching as he pouted, trying to find a reason why his best friend was practically glaring at him.

“It was supposed to be a secret until we can confirm it,” Hoseok whined, golden floppy ears going flat on the back of his head as he latched himself to the hybrids arm. Taehyung’s eyes widen in realization before a sheepish smile broke out. “Oh… uh, oops?”

“That’s what this was about? Obviously, I would smell like a hybrid. I haven’t changed since we were at the hybrid shelter earlier,” Yoongi snorted, gesturing to his wet hair and damp clothing. Seokjin and Namjoon chuckling, none of them seem to get what the hybrids were actually saying.

Jimin glanced at the others with a frown, they didn’t get it. There was no possible way for Yoongi to smell like another hybrid from going to the shelter, the glass that was keeping hybrids at a distance prevented any scent interaction to link together. Especially since those scents don’t last for more than a few minutes unless they were scent marking. Though this aroma smelled like if the hybrid was in close proximity, but that wasn’t the shocking part… they smelled terrified.

The fox hybrid watched Yoongi head to the restroom to change into the new pair of clothes he got him with curious eyes. “Hey, Jiminie… isn’t that the guy from the shelter? Smells like him,” Hoseok mumbled softly, a tug on his hoodie and the comment distracted Jimin to look. The familiar scent made it’s way through his nose, ears perking up straight as his tail stood tall in realization.

“Aw man! I should have gone so I’d know what you both are talking about,” Jungkook pouted, his nose twitching to try and smell anything familiar but immediately scrunching up his nose when smelling a few unpleasant scents that he didn’t like.

Namjoon and Seokjin turned towards a man talking at the front desk, the familiar face made Namjoon perk up as they got closer with the hybrids following closely behind.

“Sujin?”

The owner of the name turned, following the direction of whoever was calling for him. Eyes widening in recognition seeing Namjoon’s face and Yoongi just coming out of the bathroom, heading towards them. A nervous smile broke out on Sujin’s face seeing them, the last time they saw each other was after the fight and it was an extremely awkward conversation.

“Oh, it’s you guys. Namjoon, Hoseok, Jimin, and Yoongi right?” He asked while pointing at each of them correctly.

“Yeah, and these our friends we talked about—Seokjin, Jungkook, and Taehyung,” Namjoon introduced, Sujin’s eyes lightening up when seeing the bunny and tiger hybrid. This was the first time he has seen a predator and prey in the same room without it being a total disaster. The man was in awe that Jungkook wasn’t even scared of Taehyung, but mostly because he was also extremely taller than an average size bunny hybrid.

“Yes, the owner of the prey and predator! This is the first time I am seeing this kind of interaction so it’s an honor to meet you three,” Sujin smiled brightly, outstretching a hand for them to shake but retracting in realization when seeing Jungkook suddenly stiffen. Scared squeals coming from his mouth as bunny ears stood tall for a second before draping over to cover his eyes, Jungkook starting to hide behind the tiger hybrid.

“Ah! My apologies!!! I forgot to wash all the hybrids scents off me before coming down here,” The shelter owner backed a good distant away from the bunny hybrid. Jungkook calming down only slightly from Hoseok hugged him in comfort, the dog hybrid’s scent making his stress ease up as Jungkook mumbled that it was fine softly.

“Kid, why don’t you go sit with the rest over there,” Yoongi said with a frown, noticing his foot thumping lightly on the floor. It was obvious that Jungkook was not fine, the mixer of many predator scents rolling off Sujin was taking a toll on the bunny hybrid. The youngest tried to hide it, Jungkook didn’t want to be rude but when it came down to it, he practically ran across the room to sit down as the hybrids followed the bunny with concern.

“Don’t worry about it, he’ll be fine. Kook is more sensitive to smells than most bunnies, but he’s also stronger than others,” Seokjin waved off the man’s multiple apologies, giving a small smile at the way the guy was stressing out about making the bunny hybrid uncomfortable.

“What are you all doing here anyways?” Sujin questioned with a raised eyebrow as Yoongi’s eyes widen having everyone’s attention on him. Namjoon and Seokjin curious as well since he never explained why they were at an animal hospital.

“Well… you see… I found this stray cat on my walk by an alleyway. They were hurt, I couldn’t just leave them there—It just didn’t feel right to do that, okay?!” Yoongi stumbled over his words, a light blush creeping on his cheeks at the guys amused smirks seeing him being so soft instead of his bad boy persona. However before they could tease him a worker called out his name.

“Min Yoongi?” A female around Jungkook’s age spoke kindly, her eyes looking down at the clipboard in her hand before glancing up to see the music composer standing in front of her. The woman’s eyes widen as a blush made it’s way on her cheeks, getting shy from seeing such a gorgeous man.

“Are you just going to keep staring or give me the results on the cat I brought in?” Yoongi tsked at the female, who immediately got embarrassed from staring too long without a word. It didn’t help the female when seeing Namjoon and Seokjin standing behind him. Despite the embarrassment, she sure did pick at the right hospital to work at.

“My deepest apologies, that was rude of me—The cat you found has been through quite a lot, it seems that they were physically abused for a few years. We did some tests and were able to find out that they have been dehydrated and starved… bruising on the neck from what seems like rope burn and untreated injuries. They even had a few broken bones, thankfully nothing was punctured or bleeding internally,” The female listed off, doing a complete 180 from being a blushing mess to professional. The list made Yoongi feel sick to his stomach, and he knew the others were feeling the same.

“Do you know if the cat is a hybrid or non?” Sujin asked seriously, his usually nice demeanor gone. The hospital had called him because there was a stray brought in and they needed him in case it was a hybrid transformed.

“You must be Sujin—No, I’m sorry. We won’t be able to run any hybrid tests until they are fully recovered since they would need to be alert, but as of now they are completely exhausted and stressed. If Min Yoongi agrees, we can start treatment right away and provide medication that is safe for both Hybrid and Non-hybrids to take. Then after a few weeks when they are fully healed, we will be able to hand the cat over to you,” Sujin nodded in understanding at the female’s explanation, Yoongi’s head turning sharply to the man in confusion.

“Wait, hold up. Why would the hospital hand the cat over to you? I found them,” Yoongi questioned with a frown, not getting why Sujin would get the cat. They don’t even know if the cat is a hybrid or not, it didn’t make sense.

“Min Yoongi, the cat is a stray. Please understand that Sujin is an owner of a hybrid shelter and co-owner of another shelter that is specifically for non-hybrids. They would need to go in his custody since you are not the owner of this animal,” The worker explained hesitantly, afraid to anger the handsome male because of protocol.

Yoongi sat in silence for a long moment with a scowl, eyes appearing to be calculating possible outcomes of something. They all thought he was mad, only for the next words that came out of his mouth to surprise everyone that really knew him.

“I’ll adopt them, then.”

~

A month passed; your healing took a bit longer than what was expected but there were many untreated injures. During that time, you have been sleeping to rest up and regain your energy as you healed. It certainly made it easier for doctors to help treat you.

However, as the day got closer to you being completely healed, doctors have discovered your aggressive state against humans. Even going as far to needing to call in a feline hybrid doctor to work with you.

The female had to run the hybrid test on you, especially since the doctor had smelt hybrid off you but wasn’t able to feel any human part since you were able to block them off from sensing that side of you. Afterwards, you practically grinned inside when manipulating them to thinking you were a regular cat

Really… it wasn’t that hard.

Though what you didn’t know yet was that Yoongi, the man that saved your life that day had been with Sujin to set up the adoption papers. Namjoon and Seokjin have been buying tons of cat supplies and toys, both excited that Yoongi was actually adopting a companion. It was no hybrid, but it was a first step.

Either of you knowing that your lives were about to change for the better.
