Words: 18541 ****** It Started With A Cat And Ends With You ****** by Kmixx91 Summary A stray cat, that's what they thought I was. Turns out I was really the missing member of a K-Pop group call Fracture. I tried to runaway. Now I'm back and everything is going to hell. I'm trying to fix it all but I don't think I'll be able to. -or- BTS find a stray cat on their way home from practice and it turns out to be a hybrid that ran away from his group, what ensues is a whole lot of angst, smut, violence, supernatural awesomeness and everything else in between. Notes So, this is my first ever fic or post anywhere. I'd like to apologise to everyone for my really shit grammar, I suck so bad I know. Aside from that just some notes I didn't stuff into the tags... First up this fic is set in a sort of alt universe but everyone are still idols, just with the added addition of hybrids and supernatural creatures. Second, the setting is around 2017/18 or there about with some changes and you'll figure that out I'm sure. Third, I kind of got rid of the whole mandatory military thing since I wrote in some supernatural wars everyone got dragged into. Fourth, there are a lot of pairings that I couldn't be bothered tagging because there are so many of them, if anyone wants to know what relationship is what let me know. Fifth, also characters, there are a lot of characters I might have missed some my bad. and lastly, there are a hell of a lot of triggers throughout this nothing major in the first couple of chapters but it gets pretty heavy in the later ones so if you are sensitive and all that shit stop reading now go and read a story about ducks or something. Aside from all this, I hope you enjoy this crap I wrote and if you like it hit me with a comment, if not that's cool too. oh and PS. I'm very enter happy so there is that as well. See the end of the work for more notes ***** The Cat in the Shadows ***** Chapter Summary Park Jimin BTS, finds a cat on their way home from practice and decides to take it home when it doesn't behave like a normal cat. -or- I'm a cat and Jimin finds me hiding and decides to take me home with him, and then two of the other BTS members find out I'm now living with them in their dorm, oh and a member of another idol group is missing. Chapter Notes Welcome to the wonderful world of uh... Earth... you know what, whatever, welcome to the wonderful world of Earth were we have everything from vampires and werewolves to mermaids, fairies and hybrids. I posted this in first person from the MC/OC's point of view but then I do switch up the points of view and hopefully it still makes sense. There will be other series linked to this one in the same verse from the point of view of other characters and what they get up to. I'll try and post as often as I can but at the moment it's most likely once a week/weekend, the whole adult thing and all. I look forward to your thoughts and comments and hopefully I don't loose you halfway through, it is going to be a long story with varying chapter lengths but I hope you all enjoy it. See the end of the chapter for more notes I was a cat not the personally type or whatever I was an actual cat with ears and fur and a tail. I was a cross breed actually but I’ll explain that later. I sat beside a convenience store contemplating my options really. I sat staring at the ground when a group of voices broke the still quiet night. They were headed back to their dorm and were stopping off to get some much needed food. ‘JIMIN, JUNGKOOK, JESUS TAEHYUNG STOP RUNNING YOU DELINQUENTS’ one of the olders I’m guessing screamed at the three ahead of the other four. They laughed and kept going rushing into the store like kids on a sugar rush. The shortest of the four still outside snorted ‘fucking idiots...’ The one I think to be the youngest laughed loud lips curving into a heart as he did nudging his arm ‘aw, don’t be like that hyung, you know you love them.’ The shorter snorted again ‘I’d love them more if they came with a mute button.’ The other two laughed this time with the youngest before they finally reached the door and went inside. I sat listening to them inside now talking food before the one I knew to be Jimin came back out as his phone rang. He put it to his ear ‘hey eomeoni. How’s abeoji doing? Mmm I heard he got swamped. Do you need me to come home for a few days? Yeah it’s no problem our comeback isn’t for another couple months. Are you sure? Okay but you’ll call me if anything happens right.” He talked to his mother for a few more minutes before he stopped. He quickly told her he had to go and lowered his hand hanging up as he did. His eyes darted around him scanning the darkness before he whirled around and stopped. His eyes falling on me before our eyes locked. He took a breath and lowered his hand. He stared at me sitting in the shadow of the building hidden but not. He saw I was soaked from the previous rain almost an hour ago now and figured I had been sitting there as that long. He came over slowly before he knelt down before me. I looked at him and shivered again. With him so close now it didn’t take me long to realise who he actually was which meant I knew who the other six were as well. He sat his duffle bag down and unzipped it. He pulled out a dry fluffy towel and gently reached over and wrapped it around me. He gently rubbed my head making me purr. I turned my head up into his hand and purred again. He smiled and moved closer cooing over my cuteness and asked as he looked at me ‘do you have a home kitten?’ I meowed softly as I dropped my gaze. He gently lifted my chin to look at him ‘tell you what. Do you wanna come home with me?’ I looked at him and meowed before I dropped my gaze again before he spoke softly ‘Hey, I mean it. I got plenty of room come on...’ he took the towel off me and laid it in his duffle and opened it wider as he looked at me ‘in you hop.’ We both hear Jungkook and Taehyung came out Taehyung asking ‘hey didn’t Jiminnie come out to answer his phone? Where is he?’ Jungkook said ‘I didn’t see him go back inside...’ The oldest looking one came out which turned out to be the youngest of the hyungs Namjoon ‘ready to head home Jin hyung is just paying.' he asked as he reached Jungkook and Taehyung. As the other two I assumed weren’t Jin since I couldn’t see them came out Taehyung said a little worried ‘Joon hyung, Jiminnie is missing.’ The five of them looked around. Just before Jin came out Jimin stood up now holding me securely in his duffle now on his shoulder. He walked out of the shadows and said ‘hey guys. What’s up?’ They whirled around Taehyung asking as he rushed over ‘where did you go? What happened?’ Jimin said quickly ‘ah sorry I was on the phone. I got into a fight with one of my brothers. He was being a dick. I went around the corner a bit so no one could hear me yelling at his stupid ass.’ They laughed and Jin said as he came out with the bags of food and handed one to each of the six men ‘alright ready to go home I’m tired. Also shotgun on the shower,’ he stated before turning without another word. The six men moaned hyung before rushing after him. They laughed and joked on the way back to their dorm Jimin now more reserved and relaxed than before the stop making the others a little worried about what his family had to say to him. Reaching the dorm a little after midnight they unlocked the door and went inside. They dropped their grocery bags in the kitchen before heading to their rooms. Jimin shared a room with Hoseok and the youngest Kook and headed there to get some clothes for when he could shower. He sat his duffle carefully on his bed before Hoseok sat down beside it ‘you want some coco pops for dinner? Kookie and I are gonna raid the cereals for dinner.’ Jimin nodded after a minute ‘yeah I love coco pops thanks Hobi hyung. Whose turn is it next?’ Hoseok thought for a second ‘uh… Joon ah and Yoon hyung then the four of us in whatever order we decide.’ Jimin asked ‘should we eat first?’ Hoseok thought about it and said ‘yeah let’s have a snack before we shower then raid the coco pops.’ He nodded and the two of them left for food. I popped my head out of the duffle bag and looked around me. I climbed out and sat on the bed for a minute before realising I was getting it wet. I jumped down and looked around me admiring the figurines and plushies all over the shelves in the room. It was divided into three with book shelves separating the three areas each with their own style. Jimin’s area was warm and comfortable with Hoseok’s bright and vibrant while Jungkook’s was cool and chill. I sniffed a few things looked at a few others I looked around and saw the towel sticking out of the duffle. I jumped up and pulled it out pulling it onto the floor before I rubbed myself on it drying off. I shivered before spotting a second dry towel on a chair in the corner. I went over to it and pulled it off curling up with it around me now under the chair buried down in it. I huffed and went to sleep there telling myself I’d figure out my next move after some much needed rest. Hoseok asked after the two boys a while later as they got their clothes ‘hey, you guys seen my towel?’ Jungkook said as he slung his around his shoulders ‘didn’t you send it to get washed yesterday when Yoongi Hyung was having that meltdown’ Hoseok thought for a minute and sighed ‘ah who knows when he gets in one of his moods. Come on before Tae uses all the hot water,’ they laughed and left headed to the bathroom to shower and change. Jimin came back in last after the other two had gone out. He checked his duffle bag and stopped. He searched the room finding his towel but no cat. This then prompted a stealth search of the whole dorm. The others had asked if he was alright more than once but he just brushed them off and continued his search. He sighed giving up an hour after the last of them went to bed. He climbed in bed and sighed staring at the ceiling. I was cold now I was completely dry and I woke up hearing his sigh. I sat up and flicked my ears as the towel slid off me. I padded over to his bed and looked up at it before I jumped up at the foot of it and looked at him. I walked down the bed to his feet and sat down. He sat up feeling me staring at him again and saw my gleaming eyes in the darkness. He looked at me and opened his mouth before he stopped staring at me as he saw me shiver again. He smiled and shifted before lifting his thick blankets. My ears shot up and I got up and padded down to him. I moved around until I was under the warm blankets were I curled up beside his legs before he rolled over and went to sleep. - Taehyung said one morning before a late schedule while they all sat around eating breakfast ‘you see this?’ The others looked at him around the table as he pointed at his phone ‘you know that group Fracture?’ Yoongi drawled with a nod ‘good music, their rap line is impressive.’ Taehyung pointed to his phone again ‘one of them is missing.’ They looked at him and Jungkook said ‘wait, what do you mean missing?’ Taehyung read the article and summarised for them all ‘it says the youngest of the group the maknae, Park Lee, has been missing for almost six weeks now.’ They looked at him and he read it out to them ‘YG entertainment today faces its toughest situation with the maknae, Park Lee, of its most recent k pop group fracture now reportedly missing for six weeks. CEO Yang yesterday commented in a press conference that the agency was working closely with Seoul Police in hopes of locating the missing member.’ He read a little more before adding out loud ‘fans have rallied around the agency and the band in this difficult time waiting for the return of their beloved idol.’ He scrolled down and continued ‘park lee just 16 years old debuted with the group at the age of 14 celebrating his 16th birthday on stage with hundreds of the group’s fans. The group has yet to comment on the situation.’ They all looked at him and Namjoon said after a minute ‘fuck seriously...’ Taehyung nodded as Namjoon asked ‘kidnapped?’ Taehyung shook his head ‘doesn’t say.’ Within 30 minutes the seven of them had read all the articles on the situation even finding out that the group fracture was made up of seven people including Park lee and all seven of them were hybrids. It was the first all hybrid group and their music, dedication and skills had earned them instant popularity with their debut song rise being number one for three months. They had been around for 2 years now and the idols loved them, turns out everyone couldn’t get enough of the hybrids. Yoongi called Bang Si Hyuk ‘hello. Hyungnim it’s Min Yoongi. Mmm. I’m ringing about the collab we were talking about is it still happening I just saw the news?’ Bang said as he looked at the same articles ‘I was just about to call you. I need to talk with Yang first before I let you know can you keep your phone on you for the next few days while we work it all out?’ The others looked at him confused as he spoke into his phone. Yoongi said after some moments ‘Okay yeah I understand. Bye hyungnim.’ Namjoon asked ‘so, what was that about hyung?’ Yoongi looked back at the articles on his phone ‘hyungnim came to me last month about a possible collab between either BTS or one of us rappers and fracture for their next album. We were supposed to decide and start this month but now...’ he trailed off sure they all understood what he was saying. They all nodded understanding perfectly fine. Hoseok headed to his room to grab his laptop to message the leader of the group he had met while back stage at M Countdown. He looked around for it and as he turned to his desk he screamed. The others all looked towards the stairs. Jin yelled ‘Hobi ah. You okay up there?!’ No answer came back. Hoseok looked at me lying on Jimin’s bed on my back like a dog of all things, his scream woke me up. I lifted my head and looked around me blinking sleepily before I saw him standing there. I rolled over and sat up looking at him. He looked at me as Jin called to him. He opened his mouth to answer but nothing came out. He came over to me and knelt down. My ears twitched as I stared at him watching him now kneeling beside the bed He smiled warmly at me ‘hi there.’ I leant forward and sniffed him recognising him as Hoseok. I huffed before I moved forward and licked the tip of his nose before rubbed my head against his nuzzling into him. Namjoon called this time ‘HYUNG YOU OKAY UP THERE?!’ Hoseok looked at me as I sat back and he turned and called ‘all good!’ He looked back at me and smiled ‘are you hungry? You look hungry.’ I licked his nose again making he laugh quietly before he spoke again ‘don’t worry. I’ll bring something yummy promise.’ He got up getting his laptop as he did. He headed back out I rolled back over as he shut the door. He got back down stairs to be asked by Yoongi ‘what the hell dude?’ Hobi shrugged as he casually sat down ‘thought I saw a spider. It was a beanie.’ They laughed and teased him but he didn’t mind at all. That night Jungkook raised an eyebrow as he watched Hobi carry a small plate of fish into his section of their room. He sat it down on a low shelf of his book case and got in bed. Jungkook shook his head and went back to his phone. Hoseok looked around and didn’t see me but new I was still in the room, smiling to himself before climbing into bed, they had the next day off since the variety they were supposed to be on feel through and Hoseok was going to make the most of the rest day. The next morning he woke to find the plate empty and a second lump in Jimin’s bed. He smiled before he rolled back over since they had a rest day. - Hoseok sat at the dining table around lunch on his computer with a coffee. A Bing sounded indicating a new message on the chat. Tokyo: Hi hyungnim. I’m glad you messaged, sorry I didn’t replay yesterday. To be honest with you it’s been hell The message read after Hoseok opened the window to reply. Sunshine: do you wanna talk about it? Tokyo: it’s been six weeks now. Sunshine: just start from the beginning okay. Tokyo: okay... *takes a deep breath* Tokyo: six weeks ago our maknae went out for a walk around town to clear his head said he needed some time alone to get his head back in the right space for our upcoming come back. Tokyo: he left at 11 am and no one thought anything was wrong. When 4 pm rolled around and he still wasn’t back we tried to call him. The six of us tried for three solid hours taking turns to see if he’d pick up. Tokyo: but he never did. So we called Jihoon hyung his manager and SooSang hyung the group’s manager. Tokyo: and before we knew it they brought police and we were being asked all these questions about lee and the fans and if there was any tensions among us and stuff like that. And then a week passed then two then six... Tokyo: he’s so smol hyungnim. He can’t survive out there by himself. He needs us... Tokyo: what if... what if something bad has happened and he’s been kidnapped and is being hurt or worse what if...what if he’s dead?! Sunshine: now you listen to me Sung TaeKao he is fine I can feel it do you hear me and getting worked up is only harmful to your health. So take a deep breath and please try and relax. Tokyo: okay I’ll try but I’m scared hyungnim. I’m supposed to be the leader and the oldest and I just... I feel like I failed so badly. Sunshine: you didn’t fail. Do you hear me? Tokyo: thanks hyungnim. It means a lot. Sunshine: it’s no problem Sungie. I’m here if you need me. Tokyo: is it alright if I come around for a few hours I really can’t stay in this dorm at the moment. Sunshine: of course it’s okay. Tokyo: thanks hyungnim see you soon. Hoseok sat back and took a drink of his coffee after sending the address. He turned in his chair before going out to the lounge room and spoke to the others ‘we’re going to have a guest.’ Jin sitting on one sofa with Namjoon asked ‘anyone we know?’ Hoseok stated ‘Sung.’ They looked at him and Taehyung mused ‘bless you.’ They laughed and Hoseok smiled ‘he’s the leader of fracture.’ They all blinked and Yoongi asked ‘how the fuck do you know the leader of fracture?’ Hoseok shrugged as he looked at the man who had asked “it was m countdown they had just debuted and we were there with comeback and I ran into him in the bathroom and we got talking and before I knew it I was taking the younger under my wing.” They all blinked and Hoseok shrugged as he tided a little “turned out the whole group’s role models are us” They all stared and he nodded shrugging again. They talked a bit more about Sung before he arrived 45 minutes later. Hoseok smiled as he opened the door to Sung a handsome young man about his height with currently blue and purple hair he was a slim but muscular build and was wearing an oversized sweat shirt and black skinny jeans. He smiled seeing Hoseok and bowed as he said ‘thank you for allowing me to come over hyungnim. I just...’ he stood back up with a sigh and dropped his gaze. Hoseok smiled ‘come in. Jin hyung has offered to make us all some lunch’ At the mention of the word Sung’s stomach made a noise resembling a dying whale causing them both to laugh as they went inside and into the lounge room. Sung stopped and looked at the others in wonder and awe before he bowed ‘hello sunbaenims it’s an honour to meet you’ Jimin bounded over and shook his hand gleefully ‘ah you’re adorable. What do you prefer to be called?’ He looked at Jimin in more wonder than anything. He shook his head snapping out of it ‘uh... Sung is okay.’ Jimin smiled and dropped his arm around the younger’s shoulders ‘alright Sungie. Let’s go have some lunch we are starving.’ He dragged the younger with him over to the kitchen where Jin was now cooking. Hoseok mused as they watched the two of them ‘I love it how he makes friends.’ The others laughed and all went over to the kitchen to chat and get to know Sung. I heard his voice and then smelt his scent when the door opened. I crept out of the bed room and sat in the lounge room hidden in the gap between the two lounges. They all laughed and joked around avoiding the topic that had brought the younger here. He looked at his soda after a few hours of laughing. Jimin started ‘so...’ Taehyung said in a low voice across the table ‘we agreed to not talk about it hyung.’ Jimin leant his hand on his cheek as Jin snapped ‘say one word Jimin and I will slap you’ Jimin looked across the table at Sung opposite him and asked ‘what type of hybrid are you?’ Everyone blinked and Namjoon sighed “really Min ah? Where the hell did that question even come from?’ Sung looked at him in surprise that that was the question being asked. Jimin said ‘I read somewhere that your entire group are all hybrids but not what, I tried to find it but I couldn’t, so I was curious. Are you like a dog or a cat? oh do bird hybrids have wings that would be cool?’ Sung smiled after a minute and said ‘no one asks us about it you know and if they do it’s always “what are your thoughts of hybrids in the industry,” you’re the first person to ask me what I am.’ Min smiled ‘and...’ Sung smiled and eyes looking up to the top of his head as his ears popped out of hair and stood up ‘I’m a dog hybrid, wolf to be exact.’ They all blinked before Hoseok squealed after a second and reached over to grab the younger’s face ‘YOU’RE SO ADORABLE!’ Sung moaned threw his squished cheeks ‘am not hyung!’ They all laughed as Jimin asked ‘so what are the others?’ Sung said after Hoseok let him go ‘IQ and Kane are cat hybrids, nick is a bunny, he’s the second youngest and freaking adorable, Ro is a ferret and we find him in the strangest places, and Song is a... well Song is a lizard.’ They all blinked and Jimin said ‘wait, really a lizard?’ Sung looked at him he felt he could trust them something about them told him it was okay to tell them the truth ‘well if you wanna get technical, Songie, he’s a dragon hybrid but whatever’ They all looked at him before he added ‘and since we are being technical, IQ is actually a tiger hybrid and Kane is a cheetah.’ They all looked at him for a long minute as he looked at Jimin now speaking ‘when you say dragon?’ Sung nodded ‘an actual fire breathing shape shifting dragon, his father apparently is an actual dragon and his mother is human.’ They all blinked in surprise more than anything, they knew there were dragons in the world few of course but still to know one was an idol was a big surprise to the seven of them. Sung said with a smile ‘we say lizard to stop people from finding out the truth.’ Jimin smiled after another minute nodded excitedly as he spoke ‘that is awesome.’ Jimin looked at Sung and asked ‘and the Maknae?’ Sung looked at Jimin before he dropped his gaze to his cup held in his hand resting on the table. Jimin looked at the 22 year old and smiled ‘talk Sungie. It helps’ Sung looked at him and sighed ‘I don’t even know where to start. I just I feel like a failure and it’s my fault. Like what if he ran away because of something and we especially me the leader didn’t even see something was wrong.’ Jimin smiled ‘can I tell you a secret?’ He looked at Jimin and nodded before Jimin spoke again ‘the leader doesn’t see and know everything you know’ Sung tilted his head with a confused look earning coos from Hobi and now Taehyung beside him as Jimin explained ‘take Joonie hyung for example. Yeah he’s the leader but we members do keep things from him not because we want to but because we have to or because we don’t want others to get hurt or the biggest one really he worries about us enough and he knows that. He tells us if there is anything weighing on us he’s there for us and more often than not we go to him with problems without trouble. But other times we go to other members of even like you here now other people outside our group. You don’t need to know everything you just need to know enough.’ Sung took a breath and looked back at his cup ‘to be honest with you hyungnim no one ever told me how hard it was going to be being the leader. I’m always worried we’re going to screw up and I’m always on edge thinking of what if’s and how to fix them.’ Namjoon smiled ‘ it’s not uncommon, most leaders do that, say this if this happens, do that if that happens. Most of us do it’s only natural it’s how we protect our groups.’ Sung looked at him with big eyes and asked ‘does it get easier?’ Namjoon said “mmm, sort of, I mean you deal with a lot as leader but you find a comfortable middle ground with yourself and your role. That place where you are happy with who you are and are comfortable with your role. It might take a few months or even a few years but you do eventually find it.’ Sung asked ‘how do I handle this though? I mean one of my members is missing and only recently are people blaming the rest of us and even YG Nim.” Namjoon replied ‘you stay silent until you know more, until you know more you can’t do anything more but speculate just like everyone else.’ They talked more about his insecurities and ways to deal with them something had hadn’t really shared with anyone else since he wasn’t that familiar with other group leaders. As the conversation teetered off Jimin finally asked an important question they all now had ‘so... tell us about the maknae?’ Sung looked at him and smiled big after a minute as he dropped his gaze to the table and his new cup of coffee. He leant his elbows on the table as his hands closed around the cup ‘Lee is very not what you expect. To look at him you wouldn’t know he was a hybrid. To be honest with you we have no idea what type of hybrid he is not even YG Nim knows for sure but he is one and god he’s so cute. He’s the absolute definition of cute with cute little squishy cheeks and too bright eyes. He has these doe eyes that scream I am the human embodiment of innocent cuteness and this smile and eye smile that screams I am adorable hear me roar. And he does this thing you can do hyungnim only like 100 times more intense that thing where he can go from cute down right adorable to absolutely sinful in like point one of a second. I mean that kid can turn into literal sex on legs he does that in our music video for our title song.’ They all stared at the now excited puppy sitting before them as he leant his cheek against his hand as his tail swished in excitement ears standing up as he talked about the maknae ‘he’s the angel of our group. He’s incredibly humble and always pushes the others to the front before himself. His personality is very reserved it takes a lot to anger him if at all. And he is insanely talented. He’s like a mix of you all hyungnims. He can produce songs play the piano cook dance sing amazing vocals and rap and it’s no surprise that he is incredibly good at sports. He’s who the other six of us wanna be when we grow up.’ He smiled fondly as he thought about Lee now looking at the ceiling deep in thought ‘I remember one day just before we debuted Ro had a panic attack and no one could get him to calm down but then lee came back from getting us all food and saw the situation. He came over and dropped before Ro and pulled him into his arms and started whispering in his ear the kindest things I’ve ever heard someone say things like “you’re a great person, you can do this blind folded hyung, you’re not alone any more you got us hyung, the family has your back” it was incredible and in just like 15 minutes he calmed Ro down. Or this one time at an interview Kane got a question wrong and got flustered and Lee stepped in before anyone of us could by saying Kane was only half right and adding more to what Kane said it was like he turned the reporter of whatever they were into the bad guy it was amazing...’ Jimin smiled watching him now telling stories about me being the maknae of the group. Sung looked at Jimin and said ‘we love that kid so much. I mean he became a trainee at just 13 and the six of us raised him I guess but when you really look at it he raised us. He was only with the company six months well really training to be an idol for six months before Fracture was formed and he was the last to join the group and back then the six of us were in the mindset really that we were hybrids and the world owed us, but then lee came along and everything changed I mean the six of us barely even spoke to each other in the very beginning and everyone even YG Nim believed we weren’t even going to work and after Nick’s status presented we kind of worked out our I guess status quo, but then Lee walked in the door and there was something about him that seemed to calm us all and snap us out of that phase, that mind set. His presence is so calming to us we actually don’t feel nervous getting on stage with him there.’ He took a breath and his ears dropped and he dropped his gaze to his other hand still around his coffee cup ‘but now... Ro is a nervous wreck, Song is at everyone’s throats, IQ and Kane aren’t even talking to one another and Nick is terrified their tempers are gonna turn physical which as the bunny of the group is understandable and I’m over here trying to keep them from falling apart pretending I got this when I’m not even close to having it at all and all I really wanna do is just scream.’ He sighed and took a long breath and Jimin asked with a smile ‘feel better?’ Sung looked at him and nodded after a minute ‘yeah. Yeah I do.’ Min smiled and nodded. Sung said ‘thanks hyungnims for listening.’ Jimin smiled and nodded ‘always,’ he stated for the seven of them now smiling at the hybrid. - It was a little after 9 pm and Sung had gone home and the others had opted for a quiet movie night. Jungkook was the next person to find out about me. He was sitting on the lounge near the hallway beside Namjoon who was beside Jin with Yoongi and Hoseok on the other lounge with Jimin and Taehyung on the floor. Jungkook’s foot was on the floor and in my way. I loved the movie they were watching an action film with a bunch of explosions and fight scenes. I nudged his foot out of my way five times before he got annoyed and looked down thinking it was Jimin kicking him but didn’t see anything Jimin’s feet nowhere near him. He shifted around leaning over the edge of the chair Jin asked as he stared at the TV screen ‘Kook ah what the hell are you doing?’ Jungkook didn’t answer instead he lifted the edge of the couch cover they had brought frills since no one would let Jin buy the pink one like he wanted so they had to compromise or starve was his threat. As he lifted the frilly trim he was greeted with two shining eyes staring at him and with a noise that sounded much like a screaming woman he feel off the couch onto his head with a yelp as he made contact with the ground. The other six boys turned and looked at him in surprise and confusion at first before worry settled in. Jimin turned slightly on his spot on the floor and grabbed Jungkook’s shoulder ‘Kookie are you okay, are you hurt… what happened?’ Jungkook moaned as he slipped off the lounge to lay flat on his back. He stared at the ceiling as he rubbed his head. Jin leant over and slid his hand on the youngster’s shoulder ‘hey Kook ah what happened?’ Jungkook moaned with a sigh ‘thought I saw a spider.’ Jin chuckled and asked ‘what was it really?’ Jungkook lifted up the beanie and looked up at him ‘it kept brushing my leg every time I moved.’ He pouted. They all laughed a little before Yoongi said suddenly ‘oh hey that’s where I put that.’ Jungkook threw it at his face ‘I hope you choke on your damn popcorn.’ The others laughed as Jungkook moaned as he finally sat himself up ‘we own to many damn beanies in this place. First Hobi hyung and now me, damn my head hurts like a bitch.’ Jin swatted his arm and said ‘YAH! Language.’ Jungkook poked his tongue at the oldest and moaned as he rubbed his head again. Jin said as he got up ‘stay sitting there and I’ll get you some pain killers and a drink okay, don’t get up just yet you hear me, Kook ah.’ Jungkook sighed as he closed his eyes ‘okay, hyung.’ Jimin gently brushed the maknae’s hair out of the way to have a look at his head and said after a minute ‘mmm, you’ve got the start of a good egg here, it’s gonna hurt for a couple of days. Do you feel dizzy, nauseous, you know the usual concussion symptoms?’ Jungkook pouted ‘no, I don’t think I hit it that hard it just hurts I know that, ah I’m gonna have a headache in a couple of hours I just now it.’ Jimin said ‘you want an ice pack?’ Jungkook nodded after a minute ‘yes please hyung.’ Jimin nodded as he got up and went to the bathroom to get him one while Jin returned with the painkillers and bottle of water he had promised. Jungkook took the drugs and Taehyung and Hoseok helped him back onto the lounge. He sighed and mumbled ‘stupid beanie!’ They all laughed as he grumbled before he jumped at the sudden coolness on his sore head. He looked up at Jimin now standing beside him smiling down at him. He smiled sighed a satisfying sigh ‘thanks hyung.’ Jimin nodded and gently moved him back into the chair and said ‘leave it on until it loses its cool okay, you should feel better soon, but if you do start to get a headache you tell me right away, okay’ Jungkook nodded, Jimin was the only one who knew how bad he got when he had a headache or even how bad the headaches got when he had them as rare as they were, the others were surprisingly oblivious to the fact that Jungkook couldn’t handle headaches not when they sometimes turned into mind numbing migraines that often saw him revisiting his previous meal and spend the entire day in bed in a darkened room. Jungkook gave Jimin’s hand a squeeze with a smile and making the older nod before he resumed his place back on the floor. Jungkook said ‘alright, now the terrifying beanie has been killed, let’s watch the rest of this movie and go have ice cream because I deserve ice cream.’ They all laughed as they turned back to the movie and pushed play again. The laughter died as they feel back into the movie engrossed in what was coming next. Jungkook felt the nudge on his foot again and shifted to look down without having to move much. He moved his leg to watch my head pop out from under the frilly edge of the couch cover and stare at the TV. He watched my eyes gleam from the glow of the TV as my eyes moved with the action. It was then he realized what I had been trying to do and that I hadn’t intended to scare the shit out of him. He smiled a little and shifted so he was now laying with his head on the pillow on Jin’s lap with his feet up over the arm of the couch. Jin smiled and gently rubbed the maknae’s neck with one hand while the other now reached over to the popcorn Jungkook was holding. Jungkook dropped a piece over the side of the couch to watch it land right before me. I looked at it as it bounced to a stop before me and tilted my head flicking my tongue out catching the piece with ease and chopping away. He smiled and popped some in his mouth and turned back to the TV. For the rest of the movie he’d drop a piece before eating some himself. The movie finished and I slipped back under the couch out of sight before they all headed into the kitchen for the previously demanded ice cream. Jungkook laid there for a minute feeling his head telling them he’d be right behind them he was just making sure his brains were still intact. He shifted and lifted the edge after the others were safely in the kitchen out of line of sight. He looked at me as I looked at him. He blinked at me and said ‘hi there.’ I sniffed him recognizing the scent as Jungkook and moved forward ears standing up as I gave his nose a lick. He giggled a little before flashing that bunny smile of his. He said ‘good movie?’ I purred softly as he gently rubbed my ear with one finger. He said ‘and I forgive you.’ I licked his nose again and he giggled again. He asked ‘want some ice cream?’ I meowed softly and my ears twitched. He smiled and watched me slip out from under the chair. He got up to watch me disappear down the hallway and turn right at the top of the stairs telling him I was headed to the room he shared with the other two. He went and got his ice cream getting and extra scoop when he asked for hitting his head and told them he’d eat it in bed. Everyone decided to call it a night after that with practice in the morning they had to get an early night so they all decided ice cream in bed was the plan. Jungkook reached the room first and saw me on Min’s bed before I jumped down and seemed to disappear. He smiled and got changed before climbing into bed. The other two doing the same chatting back and forth until they all eventually finished and went to sleep. Jungkook watched me come out of the shadows really and eat the now melted ice cream from the bowl he like Hoseok sat on a low shelf of his book case. He then watched me clean Hoseok’s bowl then Jimin’s then with a satisfied huff I jumped up on Jimin’s bed. Jungkook sat watching me through the book case on Jimin’s bed as I walked up to his head sticking out of the covers and nudge my way under the blankets over him, he watched the now me lump move to his side and curl up into his back before falling asleep as he pulled the blankets back over him and was out cold. Jungkook laid down wincing a little from his sore head wondering how long I had actually been there and if I had been staying in Jimin’s bed the whole time, he was out cold and completely oblivious really to the fact I was now sleeping with him keeping an eye on him. - It was five days later when the next one of them found out about me, five weeks after Jimin had brought me home with him Yoongi and I came face to face. Everything changed that night. Chapter End Notes So that's the first chapter, like I said super enter happy, but I don't care deal with it.

Chapter Notes The second chapter WOO! I had some spare time before my big sister's wedding and threw this together hope you like. Also this chapter has a self harm warning, and I guess graphic depictions of blood, so read at your own risk and all that. See the end of the chapter for more notes It was late at night and with the pressures of the upcoming come back and all the things that came with it Yoongi broke and even under Jimin’s blankets I heard him crying. I stuck my head out of the covers and looked towards the slightly ajar door. I looked at Jimin for a long minute before I climbed out checking the other two were asleep as well before I headed out the door. I checked the halls listening to the other three people in the dorm before I slowly and softly padded my way down the hallway to the stairs. I stopped at the ajar bathroom door and looked at it for a long minute listening to the elder inside sobbing. I nudged my head through the crack in the door and looked at Yoongi sitting on the bathroom floor where he had wedged himself in the corner between the edge of the bath tub and the wall the bath was up against. Yoongi had his head buried in his lap as tears all but rained down his cheeks. I could see blood on his leg and for a brief moment wondered if something had attacked him knowing what they did when no one was looking I didn’t rule it out until the gleam caught my eye. I turned my head towards the shine and saw it the razor blade on the edge of the bath tub. I pushed the door open and stopped inside the room. I looked at him and then around me for something to help. I saw the wash cloth on the counter and went over jumped up and took it in my mouth before jumping down to carry it over to him. I stopped before him purposefully making noise on the tiles with my claws drawing his attention up. Yoongi stopped, seeing me his sob stuck in the back of his throat. He stared at me in surprise a lot of surprise like why was I there, how was I there, and why the hell was I holding a wash cloth. He looked at me and I took a step to him. he stared at me now wondering what the hell I was doing. I got closer and closer until I was right at his feet my nose could easily touch his knee. He continued to stare tears still running down his cheeks all noise he had been making now almost completely gone hidden through years of taught self control. I looked at the blade and Yoongi’s breath hitched a hand covered his mouth to stop the sob at the back of his throat. He quickly reached for it only for his hand to slid over my head. I looked at him and held the cloth in my mouth. I moved with his hand still on my head and nudged his knee with my nose. Yoongi looked at me confused and when he didn’t move I shifted sliding the cloth against his leg. It didn’t take Yoongi long to realize what I was trying to do and slowly dropped his legs until they laid flat before him. I looked down at the seven fresh lines on his left thigh still bleeding and all the scars there with them. I lent down and sniffed a little my ears twitching as I shook my head. I moved and gently laid the wash cloth over the seven lines almost as long as his pinkie finger and sat down beside him. I looked at it and tilted my head to the side as I gently lifted my paw and placed it on top of the cloth over the cuts enough so I didn’t hurt him. I looked at it then up at Yoongi and he sniffed hand still over his mouth as we now stared at each other. I meowed softly and sniffed recognising him as Min Yoongi or Suga. I took my paw off and moved standing back up and moving right to him our faces right in front of each other now. I gently licked the tip of his nose and pulled back and he squeezed his eyes shut for a minute he felt a tear slid down his right cheek and I put my paws on his chest and licked it off causing him to look at me. I shifted sitting myself on his right thigh with my paws resting on his chest so I was looking up at him. He kept stared at me and I meowed softly. Yoongi gently reached his other hand up and rubbed my ear softly. He sniffed again and I moved up his chest and nuzzled my head under his chin and into his neck until he was pressing his face into my side and sobbing hard. After almost an hour of sitting there being cuddled by him he finally calmed down. He looked at his leg to see the cloth had turned red from being on his leg for so long. Yoongi shifted around until I was lying in his arms like a baby. He held me to him and stood up the cloth falling to the floor. He sat me down on the counter and looked at me. I sat down and meowed as I tilted my head as I watched him. Yoongi picked up the cloth and the blade and turned to me. He tossed the cloth in the bin before sliding the medicine cabinet behind the large mirror behind me open. He looked through it and mumbled to himself ‘ointment…’ He started searching and I turned on the bench and looked at the various things on the eight shelves, the top seven held each members individual things like after shave, cologne, preferred tooth paste, tooth brush that type of thing even face products the eighth and bottom shelf was stocked with everything from band aids to ointment. I saw it in front of me and pushed it out with my paw as I tilted my head. Yoongi jumped a little as it clattered on the counter softly. He looked at me then it and smiled and picked it up. He turned and sat down on the edge of the bath where he applied an even amount over the seven wounds before looking at it now angry and red. I meowed softly muffled around a packet between my teeth. He looked up and saw the compress plaster between my teeth and looked at me with a small amused smile on his face. My ears twitched and he smiled and got up and took it off me before I nudged a tight compress bandage with my nose before looking up at him. Yoongi said as he took it ‘thanks kitten.’ His voice was raw from crying with a scratch to it and it hurt to hear it like that having gotten used to hearing it every other way but that. He sat back down and carefully bandaged his leg before looking at the bloody blade on the counter. I followed his line of sight to it and looked at it. I stood up and walked over to it and took the sponge on the counter and placed it over the top of it. I gently pushed it with my paw across the counter to the edge before I looked over as the sponge and blade feel off the edge of the counter into the waste basket with the bloody wash cloth. I sat down looking at it before my ears twitched. I looked at Yoongi as he stared at me in wonder. I meowed softly and he smiled and dropped his gaze to his hands. He said in a soft rasp ‘I… I don’t know how you got in here kitten…’ he continued to look at his hands as he spoke again ‘and I think we’re already passed the awkward first meeting stage so… would you… like to sleep with me tonight?’ I looked at Yoongi and he said quickly waving a hand ‘totally understand if you don’t…’ I jumped down from the counter and walked over to him, jumped up into his lap careful to avoid his injury and nuzzled into his neck again with a purr. That’s when I felt him relax for the first time that night. Yoongi slid his arms around me once more pulling me to him and turning his face into my soft marbled fur. He sighed and rubbed his face against me for a second before he pulled back. He said gently rubbing my head ‘let me clean up and then we can go get some sleep okay’ I meowed and licked the tip of his nose again. Yoongi smiled a wider gummy smile I loved seeing and hopped down to let him clean up. He cleaned the blood away tossing the paper towel in the bin before he knelt down in front of me. He looked at me and I walked over to him and he opened his arms for me to climb into them. He scooped me up and carried me like a baby nuzzling his face into the top of my head as he did. Yoongi nudged the door of his shared room with Jin open and padded down the length of the room to his section on the other side of the book case separating the two. He glanced at Jin to see him out cold knowing only something incredibly loud like his alarm or the maknaes were the only thing that could wake him from that deep a sleep. He felt bad for not telling the older like he usually did but figured it would be okay having treated the injury he felt it was safe to not tell him this time. Yoongi carried me to his bed and sat me down before picking up his clothes to change. He stopped for a second and looked at me. I looked up at him and saw the clothes in his hand and huffed and shook my head before I turned. He supressed a laugh before turning his back and changing into his sleep clothes a pair of sweats to hide the scars on his thighs and a cotton T shirt. He nudged me once dressed and I moved up to his pillow for him to climb in. He got comfortable and I laid down in his arms curling into him as he hugged me to him. With the blanket now over us that’s how we feel asleep. - Jin’s alarm went off at 8 am like usual when they had dance practice. He grumbled as he lumbered out the door ‘GET UP YOON AH OR STARVE!’ his usual wake up for the man who could sleep though an air raid. Yoongi moaned into his pillow before realising his face was actually pressed into something fluffy. He blinked as he pulled back as the door shut. He looked at my marbled fur before sitting up a little. He realised it hadn’t been a dream that I was real. He pulled the blankets back and looked at his bandaged thigh under the cotton of his boxers and took a breath sliding his hand over it before I nudged my way under his other arm and looked up at him. He looked at me and smiled and gently rubbed my head and ears earning a content soft purr out of me. Yoongi smiled ‘would you like some breakfast, I could leave you some fish or some of whatever Jin hyung cooks us if you like before we go?’ I meowed and my ears shot up and he chuckled and nodded ‘alright I’ll leave the plate in here on my desk over there okay.’ He got up and I meowed before crawling back under his covers and getting comfy. He chuckled as he watched me commandeer his bed as he got up before stumbling out of the room. The others were surprised to see Yoongi up. Jin spoke for them all ‘my god the world must be ending?!’ Yoongi drawled as he rubbed his eye ‘you’re stupid alarm woke me up, be glad I didn’t break your fucking phone.’ Jin hissed “LANGUAGE!’ Yoongi yawned with a stretch ‘it’s too early for that shit so bite me… hyung.’ Jin hissed at him as he shuffled passed to find some breakfast. Jin cut them up some fruit with yogurt and toast and muesli it was very healthy one of the rare days they guessed where Jin was just in that sort of mood. The others headed off to get changed leaving Yoongi to take his time not wanting to anger him or piss him off so early in the morning. Yoongi took the chance now alone, he grabbed two of the small side dish plates after having searched what fruits cats could eat and put some in one before putting some yogurt in the other. Taehyung saw him and raised an eyebrow as Yoongi shuffled back to his room without another word. He shook his head letting it go so he could finish getting ready on time. Yoongi put the dishes on his desk before grabbing some clothes to change. As he turned he checked his bed to see me still there part of the me lump rising and falling with my breathing. He smiled and nodded and grabbed his sweats and tops and went and got changed. Jin said as he came back in ‘we’re leaving in 10 minutes got everything?’ Yoongi nodded and said ‘just got to grab my bag and I’m good.’ The two of them grabbed their bags Yoongi throwing one last look across the room through the book case at his bed with a smile before the door swung shut. I shifted to human before eating the fruit and yogurt and helped myself to the left overs of the rest of it out in the kitchen. I even did the dishes it’s just how I am, I hated mess really. I used the bathroom and showered and changed into one of Yoongi’s shirts this time and a clean pair of Jimin’s sweats before I picked up the book of Namjoon’s I had been reading the past couple of days. That night I found Suga back in the bathroom. Five nights passed of finding Yoongi in the bathroom two of which saw his legs bleeding once more until finally the pressures gave and he broke his silence talking to me about everything weighting on him, about not being good enough, about the intense practices of all their hard core dances, about disappointing fans, about the fall, everything that had him breaking down came pouring out at 1 am on the floor of the down stairs bathroom five days after finding him down there. Yoongi gently rubbed my head as I laid in his lap chin on his chest staring up at him listening to every word. It was three am when he finally fell silent. He breathed out slowly like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders and looked down at me in his lap. I meowed and Yoongi smiled ‘you know you’re a great listener kitten’ he stated as he rubbed my head before picking me up and carrying me to bed once again. He didn’t toss and turn that night. - The fifth one to find out about me was Taehyung he had seen Yoongi acting strange and wanted to know why, so when Yoongi had stayed late at the studio to practice the dance he took the liberty while Jin was out cooking dinner to snoop around. He slipped into Yoongi’s room looking around him as he did. They rarely ventured into the lion’s den and he couldn’t help but smile at all the figurines in Jin’s section before crossing into uncharted territory. Taehyung looked around at all the things Suga had in his room the posters of rappers that inspired him on the walls, pictures of the group from their biggest achievements, the pictures of his mother and brother on his desk. He turned to look at the wall and stopped as he saw the bed move. He stared at it for a long minute thinking he had just imagined it until it happened again. He rushed over to it and pulled back the covered expecting to find holly hidden under there but instead saw me on my side stretched out asleep. He stared at me taking in every inch of my marbled fur and cute self. Taehyung reached out and poked me in the side causing me to roll over onto my back and swat at his hand. He held a hand over his mouth to stop the squeal before poking me again. The constant poking woke me up telling me it wasn’t Yoongi he just scooped me into his arms and rubbed his face against mine. My eyes snapped up and stared up at Taehyung as he stopped holding his finger pointed at me. I scrambled back as he climbed on the bed in an attempt to keep me there. He drew in a breath and sat down on his hunched staring at me. Before we knew it it became a staring contest to see who made the next move first. I sat against Yoongi’s pillow and he sat on the now bundled up sheets as we held eye contact. Jin’s voice floated through the dorm ‘guy’s Yoon and Hobs are back dinner is just about ready get down here now or starve!’ Taehyung didn’t move, I didn’t flinch neither of us were giving in first. Suddenly the door flew open and Yoongi lumbered down to his section and stopped seeing Taehyung’s back. Yoongi drawled ‘you, you little brat, what the fuck are you doing in my room. You idiots have been warned…’ Taehyung pointed cutting his hyung off ‘new friend?’ Yoongi froze before he rushed forward and stopped. Tae finally broke contact and looked at Yoongi. Yoongi tried to form a sentence ‘this isn’t… it…’ Taehyung pouted a little ‘you’ve been acting weird for a week hyung, I wanted to know why… why didn’t you just tell us?’ Yoongi said as he dropped his voice ‘come on Tae ah you know what Joon… or even Jin or hell Jimin is gonna say we don’t have time for a pet in this place not with our schedule… and… I won’t let them throw him out on the street or send him away I can’t, do you hear me?’ his voice was forceful and to the point making Taehyung understand. Taehyung could see the defiance in his eyes Yoongi wasn’t going to give me up without a serious fight if he had to. Taehyung looked at him then back at me and jumped and grabbed his chest ‘Jesus when the hell did you get so close?’ I sniffed him recognising his scent as Kim Taehyung or V and meowed as I sat down. He couldn’t help the smile and said ‘you are cute aren’t you…’ He lifted his hand tentatively and held it out to me. I sniffed it before pushing me hand up into it for him to rub my head. Taehyung asked ‘what are you gonna do if Jin or Joon hyung find out?’ Yoongi said ‘they can’t find out do you hear me,’ Taehyung looked at the older as he spoke again ‘none of them can.’ Taehyung nodded with a smile as he looked back at me as I purred ‘okay hyung I will help you keep this secret but if Jin hyung or Joon ah murder me I’m going to haunt you until you die!’ Yoongi chuckled and patted Taehyung’s head instead of mine with a smile making the younger laugh at his action. I licked Taehyung’s nose making him giggle and that night I stayed with Tae on request from Tae as they headed out to dinner. - Week six after I moved in Namjoon was the next one to find out. He had finished at the studio early and I was in the middle of making a sandwich when I heard him rapping a song as he made his way to the door. I quickly finished making the sandwich putting everything away before shifting back to cat form. I headed for the bedrooms but realised my sandwich was still on the counter. The door opened as I slid in behind the lounge. Namjoon hummed as he dropped his bag and headed into the kitchen for a water stopping as he saw the sandwich. He looked around him checked the kitchen dinning and lounge before he called out to the others before heading up to the rooms to see if anyone was home. As he walked back in he stopped. I stood with my mouth open ready to bite into the ham and cheese sandwich to carry it off. He stared at me as my eyes shifted to him. He pointed at me and said ‘back off cat breath… whoever you are that sandwich is mine…’ I looked at him and we stood like that for a minute longer before I snatched the sandwich up as he shot forward. Namjoon knocked over the bowl of fruit and two cups on the bench before he whirled around and came after me. A vase was killed with a lamp and something else as he ran after me through the house yelling at me to drop the sandwich. I jumped up on the TV cabinet then up into the rafters of the lounge room out of his reach. He yelled up at me as I happily ate my sandwich watching him now yelling at me and pacing across the room. With it gone I looked down at him. He looked up at me and stopped yelling and I meowed and swished my tail. He yelled ‘DON’T MOCK ME YOU FUR BALL!’ I tilted my head and meowed again. He yelled again “AND STOP BEING CUTE!’ Namjoon dropped his gaze and sighed ‘I’m going insane I swear to god.’ It was then that he realised the mess we had left in our wake and he cursed looking around him at the room ‘fuck it, stupid cat.’ He spent the next hour cleaning the mess being careful not to hurt himself. He yelled in pain as he cut his hand on a piece of the glass vase that had been holding some now dead flowers. He held his hand in a fist before I meowed at him. He looked up to see me holding a wash cloth in my mouth. I looked at Namjoon then his hand and he smiled. He lifted his other hand and I walked over to him and put the cloth in it. He said with a smile ‘thanks cat.’ I sat down and looked at him and he opened his hand carefully and looked at the cut. Namjoon cringed not sure how bad it was. He pressed the cloth into it and clenched his fist again in pain. I looked at him as I saw it and then looked at the few remaining pieces of glass. I took the cloth now on the floor beside him he had used to clean up the water and put it over one of the pieces and pushed it to the dustpan with my paw like I had the razor blade. I nudged it into the pan as he knelt watching me clean up the mess for him. I sat back down and looked at the dust pan then back at Namjoon. He smiled ‘you’re a curious cat’ I went over and pulled on his sleeve before he got the idea to follow me. I lead him to the bathroom and jumped up on the counter and sniffed the mirror. Namjoon came over and opened it and I used my paw to pull out the ointment and a bandage paster for his hand and I sat back down and looked at him with a meow. He smiled and looked at them then me. He leant on the counter on his elbows and looked at me. I moved over to him and sat down before him and sniffed him recognizing him as Kim Namjoon or RM before I licked the tip of his nose causing him to chuckle deeply. He rubbed my head with his other hand before he stood up and tended his hand. He put the ointment on after running it under the water the cut wasn’t all that bad but would need a plaster. He put the plaster on it and cleaned up before looking at me. he smiled as he picked me up and rubbed my head and turned to the door ‘come on, lets go get me some lunch, since you ate my sandwich’ he said with annoyance to his tone. I meowed and he laughed as we went back into the kitchen after finishing the last of the clean-up. He sat me down on the counter and happily made himself a sandwich and ate up with me on his lap the whole time while he flipped the channels as we now sat on the couch. Moments later hearing the others Namjoon quickly picked me up and hurried upstairs, he put me in his and Taehyung’s room and telling me to stay out of sight were I happily went to sleep on his bed. He made it back to the lounge room with time to spare before the others walked through the front door. Jin stopped in the room before the other five and asked ‘alright, what happened?’ The others looked at him and Taehyung asked for them all ‘why do you say that hyung?’ Jin said looking around him ‘one of the lamps is missing and the vase…’ he lifted the flowered he had with him ‘I was going to put these in is now missing too, so what happened?’ Namjoon looked at him and shifted a little before scratching the back of his neck ‘I might have maybe hypothetically… possibly broke them…’ Jin sighed as the others burst out laughing. That was before Jin saw the plaster on his hand. He quickly handed the flowered to Hoseok beside him and rushed to Namjoon ‘are you okay, did you get hurt? Let me see.’ Jin caught Namjoon’s hand and turned it to look at the plaster. He looked at Namjoon with a mixture of concern and anger in his eyes ‘tell me what happened right now?’ Namjoon sighed a little ‘I cut my hand,’ he quickly added when he saw the look on the older’s face ‘but it’s okay hyung I swear it’s not bad, I put ointment on it and a plaster like you taught me.’ Jimin asked ‘are you sure it’s not bad hyung?’ Namjoon nodded ‘I swear it’s not bad.’ He looked at Jin ‘you can check it after I shower tonight deal?’ Jin nodded ‘good. Now sit on that couch and touch nothing until dinner got me!’ he stated pointing to the lounge with a pointed look that meant ‘do not question me.’ Namjoon sighed as he looked at the oldest of the group ‘yes hyung.’ The others all laughed and clapped him on the shoulder as they split up. Namjoon smiled as he looked at his hand and turned going back to the lounge like he was told. Later that night, Namjoon got out of the shower and stood in the bath room with Jin while the others hung at the door checking up on him. He stood in sweats broad toned body on full display. Which honestly made the whole situation with his hand hard for Jin to focus on but he somehow managed without giving anything away turning his focus instead to the wound on the younger’s hand as a means to distract himself. Namjoon lifted his hand for Jin when asked so the older could peel the plaster off. Jin looked at the cut on his palm brows furrowing as he did. He turned the hand he held in a few different directions and poked it with his finger causing Namjoon to jump and curse a few times. Jin said pleased with the wound ‘you cleaned it well, there doesn’t appear to be any glass in it and it’s not that deep. Some ointment for a few days and a plaster, keep it dry and in about five or six days it should be as good as new.’ even if Jin could heal the wound in a few seconds they had all agreed any small injuries like this would heal naturally. Namjoon now standing rather to close for the older’s liking smiled ‘thanks hyung.’ Jin made the mistake of looking at him to be greeted by a full blown dimple smile that made his heart beat speed up a little. Jin quickly looked back at Namjoon’s hand and changed the subject all together ‘we’re gonna need a new lamp and another vase…’ Namjoon smiled ‘you know those flowers were dead.’ Jin said as a matter of fact ‘Yah, I brought new ones.’ Namjoon smirked beside him ‘yeah two weeks after they died.’ Jin glanced at him before he huffed ‘I still brought new ones.’ The others laughed and split off with glad you’re okays to Namjoon. - After eight weeks of living with BTS I finally came face to face with Seokjin, and everything came to a head and honestly what was he gonna do but give in. Chapter End Notes That's it for now, got to go do this wedding thing, so stay tuned, the big Kim Seokjin meeting is coming in the next chapter. Also another gold star for reaching the end of the second chapter, thank you. ***** Deiting is okay, passing out isn't. ***** Chapter Summary BTS's new cat leads them to the lounge room in the middle of the night where they find an unconscious Seokjin, when he finally comes around he's faced with six concerned faced, oh and what's he going to say about their feline resident. -or- Seokjin hasn't eaten because of his diet and passes out. when he wakes up he wants to know why I'm there and is rather set on me not staying, oh and Yoongi is ready to fight him if he so much as declares I'm leaving. Chapter Notes I guess eating disorder warning, basically Jin hasn't really eaten anything in two days because of his schedule and diet and ends up passing out. I'm sure there is gonna be a whole... that's not how that situation is dealt with issue but don't care it's a story writers are allowed to embellish deal with it. Aside from that enjoy. See the end of the chapter for more notes Everyone was asleep and Jin was in the lounge room having stayed up late to watch a movie. He had been on a diet for the comeback and with their current schedule hadn’t really eaten anything in two full days. As he got up to turn the TV off he collapsed. I heard the thud as he hit the ground it was a good thing his head hit the edge of the bean bag on the floor and not the coffee table. I sat bolt upright on Jungkook’s bed causing him to wake up. I listened to the oldest as the youngest looked at me. I shot out of his bed and pawed the door. He realised I needed out. The noise of me clawing at the door and Jungkook stirring woke Hoseok which in turn then woke the often light sleeping Jimin up. Jimin mumbled sleepily as he sat up ‘what’s going on?’ Jungkook said as he pulled his blankets back ‘it’s nothing go back to sleep.’ I meowed, Hoseok froze as Jimin tensed. I continued pawing at the door and meowed again snapping them out of it. Jungkook said looking at the other two ‘ah…’ Hoseok lifted a hand ‘wait, hold up, you knew?’ Jimin stumbled out of his section and looked at them ‘YOU KNEW?!’ I meowed loud and pawed the door causing Jungkook to come towards me ‘it can wait, something is wrong.’ He stumbled over to the door and finally pulled it open. I shot out and Jungkook called to me telling me to slow down. I bolted down the steps and their thundering feet coming after me woke Taehyung who woke Namjoon before their five voices pulled Yoongi out of his sleep. Yoongi stopped in the hall drawled in anger for being woken up as ass o’clock as he saw the five of them ‘what the fucks going on you elephants?’ Jungkook spoke first ‘uh…’ he started to say. I cut him off as I meowed loud, it echoed through the entire place and they all looked at one another. Hoseok said quickly ‘wait… you… you all knew about…’ I cut him off again with another meow and then another and another, Jungkook said as he pointed in no particular direction ‘see I told you something is wrong…’ he turned and ran down the hall with the others following right behind him. They reached the bottom of the steps to hear me in the lounge room. They walked in and stopped. I meowed as I nudged Jin’s face with my paw and he didn’t stir. Yoongi rushed over and knelt down “Jin?!’ he slid his hand on Jin’s neck and gently shook him. The others rushed over and I sat at the top of his head and looked at him. When he didn’t rouse they got him up on the chair and stepped back. I stood between Hoseok and Jungkook looking up at him on the lounge. Namjoon asked a little panicked Jin usual the one who knew how to deal with this sort of thing ‘think we should call an ambulance?’ I meowed causing them all look down at me as I looked around me. I turned around a few times before I remembered the magnet letters on the fridge. I turned and they came after me. I stopped at the fridge and looked up at them. I jumped up and leant on the fridge. I used my paw to move them around. I made a word and looked at them with a meow. Taehyung came over to me and knelt down and looked at the word. He said ‘it says diet’ they looked at us as he looked at them. I reached up and moved the letters around again. I couldn’t reach one and Taehyung pulled the others down to me. I looked at him and meowed and Taehyung read it and said ‘no eat…’ I moved them around again and he said ‘2 days…’ I made the last word and he said ‘Jin…’ They looked at him and Namjoon figured it out and came over to me and knelt down ‘are you saying that Jin hasn’t eaten anything in two days because of his diet?’ I meowed and sat down as Namjoon took a breath and sat back on his hunches. He shook his head and got up. He pointed ‘Yoon hyung you make some food for the idiot, Tae-ah get a bottle of water, Min-ah, Kook-ah find a wash cloth and a cold compress… Hobi…’ he looked at him and said ‘you help me try and wake that idiot up’ They all nodded and split up Namjoon taking the water off TaeHyung before he stood in worry watching Namjoon and Hoseok force the fluids down the oldest’s throat. I sat on the arm of the chair staring down at him watching waiting. With the compress and the wet cloth now on him he stirred pretty quickly within 45 minutes Jin was opening his eyes. I stared down at him at the others sat around the room watching Yoongi cook while they all waiting for him to come around. Jin opened his eyes and saw me through the haze. I put my paw on his forehead and he blinked up at me and I meowed. They all looked over at me and I meowed and Jin rasped ‘when the hell did we get a cat?’ Namjoon rushed to his side and knelt down beside him ‘hyung, hyung…’ Jin rasped and shifted ‘ah man, what happened?’ Namjoon said ‘you passed out.’ Jin chuckled ‘please.’ Namjoon said ‘Hyung…’ Jin could hear it in his voice he turned his head and looked at the younger, the look on the younger’s face made his heart hurt. Namjoon said as the four in the room with the oldest stared at him ‘the six of us found you face down on the floor, you’re lucky we didn’t call an ambulance,’ Jin took a breath before Namjoon spoke again as he checked the elders forehead ‘you haven’t eaten have you in two days…’ Jin sighed closing his eyes under the youngers touch unable to help himself ‘we’ve been so busy and with this diet for the comeback…’ he trailed off sure they understood the point. Namjoon looked at him and Jin started to ask as he pushed himself up with Namjoon’s help ‘how… how did…’ Namjoon looked at him then me still on the arm of the chair. Jin looked at me as I stared at Jin. Namjoon explained ‘he heard you drop, woke the kids up.’ Jin took a breath and looked at me. I meowed and nudged the bottle of water beside me. He looked at it as it rolled down the cushion and stopped beside his thigh. He smiled a little and looked at me before he picked it up looking at me. I sat up and meowed and nodded a little as my ears twitched. Jin said as he opened the bottle ‘no need to be bossy.’ I meowed and he took a sip as he stared at me the two of us holding each other’s gaze. They all looked at the two of us waiting for one of us to move as he took small sips. I tilted my head and he copied. Yoongi stopped at the kitchen door ‘if you’re trying to have a staring contest with him it’s not gonna work, Tae tried, kitten beat him.’ Jin looked at me before he looked at Yoongi ‘kitten?’ Yoongi looked at him and folded his arms and drawled ‘I’m gonna save the smack to the face if you eat the meal I just cooked you.’ Jin looked at him only to be cut off by Yoongi ‘we’ve had this conversation with Jimin, dieting is fine, passing out isn’t. We found you on the floor Seokjin unconscious. You should know how that makes us feel having found Jimin the same way once’ Jin took a breath and dropped his head. He looked at the bottle of water in his hands and closed his eyes ‘I’m really sorry.’ Yoongi said ‘like I said, I’ll save smacking you in the face if you eat the meal I cooked deal’ Jin smiled and nodded as he looked up at the younger ‘deal.’ Hoseok helped him to his feet and lead him into the kitchen where the seven of them sat down at the table. I jumped up on the counter and sat watching Jin eat. He was halfway through before he pointed his chopsticks towards me ‘so… who wants to start?’ Namjoon spoke first ‘so ah…’ he looked at his hand and said ‘remember how I broke that vase and that lamp and those cups and that weird uh art thingy’ Jin nodded ‘I remember we still need to buy a new lamp.’ Namjoon nodded a little ‘yeah… I was chasing the cat.’ They all looked at him before Namjoon explained ‘okay so like a week ago I finished early at the studio and I came home to find a sandwich on the counter and I thought one of you guys was here so I checked upstairs and when I didn’t find anyone I figured, cool sandwich for me, I walked back into the kitchen to see the cat frozen about to eat my sandwich and I was like don’t even think about it, but dude, the cat is fast as hell and before I knew it he was up in the rafters of the lounge room eating my sandwich and mocking me… and then I realised stuff was broken and that’s when I cut myself… and… well… the cat helped me take care of it.’ They all blinked and looked at him in surprise. Jin chewed and asked for them all ‘the cat… helped you take care of the cut?’ Namjoon nodded and said ‘he brought me a cloth to put on it even lead me into the bathroom and found the ointment and plaster for me… he was actually sitting on my lap when you guys got home, I hide him in my room worried you’d all… freak out.’ Jin looked at the others and Taehyung spoke next ‘I found out two weeks ago, Yoon hyung had been acting weird, I mean don’t tell me none of you noticed, like when he’d take a plate of food into his room for no reason I know you all saw it. So while he stayed late at dance practice and Jin hyung was making us dinner I started to um… snoop around… I found him asleep in hyung’s bed… and then you know I tried to have a staring contest with him and he beat me when hyung got home.’ Yoongi drawled from his seat ‘kitten found me in the bathroom about a week and half before Tae found him in my bed.’ They all looked at him and Jin looked down at the table at him. Jin leant on the table as he stopped eating, his eyes locked with Yoongi. The others didn’t know how bad it got for him, Jin had found him back in the beginning and knew, after weeks of pushing and nagging Yoongi had spilled his soul to the older. Neither of them moved or broke eye contact. I jumped across to the table and sat down before Jin staring at him. He looked at me and blinked watching as I meowed and looked down at his food then back up again. He looked at me and I walked forward a little before I laid down and nudged his bowl forward with my paws and meowed again. Jin looked at me and smiled a small smile after a minute and asked as he picked his chop sticks up ‘how bad was it?’ Yoongi replied ‘bad.’ Jin looked down the table at him. Yoongi nodded seeing the unasked question ‘worse than that day.’ Jin took a breath ‘Yoon ah…’ Yoongi cut him off ‘he pulled me out of it. I cried into his fluffy fur for almost three hours… by that point I was exhausted and thinking it was just a weird dream I asked if he wanted to stay with me that night. When you woke up I woke up to a face full of fur and realised it was all real, a cat had pulled me out of that dark hole. It’s why I was awake, why you were all so shocked to see me out of bed before half past 8,’ They all took a breath realising why he had been up. Yoongi nodded ‘every night for that week he found me in the bathroom until about day five when I finally broke down and just told him everything breaking me apart. He’s an incredible listener.’ The other five looked between them not sure what was really going on but knew it was important if Yoongi and Jin were talking about it. Jin asked ‘and now?’ Yoongi nodded ‘I’m doing good, he seems to sleep with me every other night, it’s weird I don’t toss and turn as much if at all when he does.’ Jin smiled ‘a ball of fur calms you?’ Yoongi shrugged and said ‘I will fight you I swear to god.’ Jin looked at him and said ‘and you three…’ he looked at the other three who hadn’t spoken yet. Jungkook said after a moment ‘I saw two eyes staring at me I told you all it was a spider.’ They all gasped and looked at him. Jungkook smiled and said ‘he got pissed my leg was in the way while we were watching the movie, I didn’t realise he had been pushing my leg out of the way so he could see the screen, turns out he quite likes the movie and the popcorn. He stayed with me that night to I think make sure I was okay.’ Hoseok smiled and said ‘I screamed said it was a beanie… I found him sprawled out on Min’s bed six weeks ago. I took him some fish for dinner’ Jungkook laughed as he looked at his hyung ‘I saw that.’ Hoseok smiled and nodded ‘I thought he was gone when I didn’t see him but I saw the empty plate the next morning.’ They all feel silent as all eyes turned to Jimin. Jimin looked at his hands and said ‘eight weeks ago we were headed home from practice and stopped at the convenient store. I was on the phone to my mother when I felt like someone was watching me and it turns out he was’ They all looked at me and Jimin looked at me and smiled. He said ‘I went over to him while you all took your time and I realised he’s been there a while through the rain we had an hour before we left the studio and it was cold remember he was wet and shivering and I just… I couldn’t leave him there, it’s not who I am you know that, you know what I am I couldn’t just… so I snuck him in my duffle wrapped up in my towel.’ They looked at him and he added ‘that’s what I was looking for that night you all thought I’d lost my mind.’ He looked at Hoseok and pointed at me ‘turns out he stole your towel to warm up. When we all went to bed he climbed into my bed with me.’ Jin looked at me and said around his mouthful of food ‘so… what did you do for me I wonder?’ Jungkook said ‘he heard you collapse.’ Jin looked at him and Jungkook nodded ‘he woke me up wanted out of our room, pulled the three of us out of bed which woke Tae up which pulled Joon hyung out of bed and the five of us woke Yoon hyung and he lead us to you unconscious in the lounge room.’ Jin looked at the maknae then me. My ears twisted and I nudged the protein shake with my nose and sat back up as Jin took a drink of it before putting it back down and continuing the rest of his meal. He finished the last dish and stacked the plates and put them aside and leant on the table staring at me. I crawled forward and looked up at him. I sniffed him and licked his nose with a meow. He smiled and said ‘thank you for bringing them to help me.’ I meowed and he leant his cheek against his hand and looked at me. I looked at the plates and meowed before looking back at him. He looked at me and knew what I was asking. He smiled ‘decided I finished my diet yesterday.’ I meowed and he smiled and gently rubbed my head. I purred and laid my head down. He said ‘you know we can’t keep him guys…’ Yoongi cut him off ‘I will legit fight you.’ Jin looked down the table at him. Yoongi looked at him and Jin asked ‘how bad was it really?’ Yoongi looked at him and folded his arms defensively, he wasn’t going to speak about it there, not with certain people there. I sat up Jin’s hand stilling on my head. I stood up and walked down the table and sat down on the edge of it looking at Yoongi. He looked at me and I looked at him and meowed and climbed into his lap. I nudged my head under his arms and he looked down at me. I looked up at him and he gently rubbed my ears. I looked at him and meowed and purred before nuzzling my face into his neck under his chin. He slid his arms around me as Jin sat back in his chair and took a breath looking at the two of us. The others looked between the three of us before Namjoon started ‘so…’ he folded his arms and one leg over the other and looked at Jin ‘we got things to talk about… but it can wait…’ Jimin quickly said ‘we can’t send him away hyung, please.’ It was more a plea a beg really than a statement. Jin looked at the six of them and then me and said in defeat ‘fine, but we’ll figure all this out in the morning after we’ve all had sleep understand’ Hoseok stated as he looked at the older ‘you can sleep with me tonight hyung.’ Jin opened his mouth and Hoseok cut off his protest before he could even start ‘you passed out, Yoongi hyung has the kitty, you have me so shut up and go and get ready for bed.’ Jin looked at him and got up like he was ordered and headed for the door. He dropped his head and said passing the six of them ‘thanks for helping me guys. I love you.’ The six chorused in unison ‘love you too hyung.’ The door swung shut and they all took a breath. Jungkook asked ‘are you sure Hobi ah?’ Hoseok nodded ‘mmm. I’ll keep an eye on him.’ Taehyung asked ‘and kitty cat?’ Yoongi pulled me back and I looked at him. He asked as he held me ‘do you want to go back with Kookie or stay with me tonight?’ I nudged his cheek and he asked ‘are you sure, only if you want to?’ I meowed and nuzzled back into him. He smiled a little ‘alright alright. Let’s all get some sleep okay we got that variety in the morning.’ They all nodded and split up. Jin stopped beside Hoseok’s bed and Hoseok lifted his blankets. Jin got into his bed with him the two of them curling up around each other as they did. Yoongi feel sleep with me listening to the others as they went back to sleep one by one. The next morning they all woke up to find me lying across Hoseok and Jin, with Yoongi buried under his blankets. They all chuckled as breakfast saw them now openly sharing all the photos they each had of me. - They all left for the variety and left me some milk and talked about what they would need to get for me like a bed or a climbing post or a litter box. Their break saw Hoseok making a schedule on who was to feed me. And by the time they got home that night they had everything they needed for a pet cat. I sniffed one of the tins of cat food and huffed. I shook my head before they watched me smack it off the counter. Jin laughed his squeaky windshield laugh before he spoke ‘I think he’s trying to tell us something.’ I quickly battered the other nine tins off the counter before sitting down like I didn’t do anything. I looked down at them then meowed and my tail twitched. Yoongi folded his arms as he looked at me. I looked at him and he nodded at the tins ‘that’s dinner you know.’ I huffed and he looked at me. Jimin said ‘yeah… that might had been our fault, he’s been eating what we all eat remember’ Taehyung said ‘I looked into what human foods he could have and pretty much everything we’ve been giving him is okay for him, I mean, if he likes it then why try and force him to eat this tinned mash, as long as he eats right, you know like us…’ he looked at me than the others and said ‘besides I think if he eats what we eat it will make us have to eat if you know what I mean.’ Hoseok smiled ‘and once again Taehyung surprises us all with a random genius idea’ They all laughed and Taehyung shrugged. I meowed and nodded once making them laugh harder. Jimin picked me up after they all calmed down and carried me into the lounge room where he stopped and said ‘so…’ he shifted me around in his arms to see it ‘what do you think?’ I tilted my head before he sat me down and I went over to the large climbing post big enough to sit Jimin on, now in the corner of the room between the two lounge chairs. I sniffed it and jumped climbing up it in a second and flopped down on the top platform with a meow. They all laughed and Jimin smiled ‘so we take it it’s a winner?’ I meowed as my tail swished. It was high too with a good base so I could easily sit on it in human form. They showed me the rest of the things they brought the litter box which I was never gonna use and some cat toys I was gonna demolish for sure. - Two months passed without trouble, I was happy, I was loved and I thought everything was okay. I wish I had been right. Chapter End Notes And here we have your third gold star, congratulations.

Chapter Notes This is pretty much the chapter that get the rest of the story started. I hope you like it. Also, much dialogue, very talk, wow. See the end of the chapter for more notes Two months later their comeback was the following Monday and Jin had spent the entire Friday calling around for a cat sitter while they were gone. After asking all their friends and coming up blank he was now in the process of going through the phone book for a qualified one who wouldn’t lose it with who they were. Suddenly their quiet Sunday night in was shattered by a frantic knock at the door a little after midnight. I was asleep on my post as the others sat around the lounge on phones and laptops doing last minute changes. They looked at the door and then each other. Jungkook asked ‘anyone expecting anyone?’ They all shook their heads as Jimin got up. He pulled the door open to see two people standing there. The taller of the two looked at him ‘Jimin hyungnim… my names Ro… ah… Ryu RoYoung… I’m a member of Fracture’ Jimin said ‘oh yeah, Ro, Sungie has told us all about you, how are you?’ Ro asked a little nervous ‘can… can we come in?’ Jimin looked at him then at the other with him and saw a pink flush to his cheek and quickly said ‘yeah of course come in, are you okay?’ Ro grabbed the others hand and said ‘It’ll be okay I promise.’ The other simply nodded and followed him inside Jimin noticed the slow steps he took. He shut the door and went back in leading them to the others and asked for the others name ‘and this is?’ Ro said ‘oh, sorry this is Nick.’ Jimin said ‘nice to meet you.’ He called to into the apartment ‘GUYS!” The others looked up and Jimin said as the three of them emerged into the lounge room ‘this is Ro and Nick from fracture.’ They all looked at them in surprise. Namjoon said as he got up from his spot at at the coffee table ‘hi guys, what brings you here?’ Ro shifted a little and took a breath calming his nerves again before he spoke ‘ah… it’s… it’s complicated…’ ‘We’re pretty open you know,’ Namjoon reassured. ‘Is Nick sick? have you talked to the other members…’ Jimin started to ask. Ro cut him off ‘it’s…’ The scent tickled my nose waking me up. As I rolled over I heard their voices. I looked over the edge of of my platform and saw the two of them, saw the tell tail blush on Nick’s face and knew. I jumped down. The two of them jumped and watched me as I walked out. They all blinked and looked at me then each other. Namjoon said drawing their attention back to him ‘so anyway, about this, is Nick sick?’ As Ro opened his mouth to try and explain again I stopped before the two of them and dropped a packet at their feet. Ro looked down at me as I looked up at him. He opened his mouth and I nudged the packet forward with my paw. He knelt down and looked at me then the packet before he picked it up and flipped it over. He sighed, stood up and turned to Jimin ‘do you have a bottle of water?’ he asked more relieved than he had been before he saw the packet. Jimin nodded and went and got it for him. Ro took it and popped two of the tablets in the pack out. He turned to Nick and made him take them. Jin took the box and read it ‘huh… since when the hell did we have hybrid meds here?’ Ro said ‘they will take at least three hours to kick in are you going to be okay?’ Nick clutched his hands together and said ‘I really don’t know hyung, I mean it’s not as bad as it was but it still burns.’ Ro said ‘come on, lay down okay it’ll make it hurt less.’ Nick nodded and Kook and Tae moved from the lounge so Nick could lie down. I sat on the table and watching the two of them. Jin folded his arms ‘alright kids, start talking.’ Ro looked at Nick and waited twenty minutes before he finally feel asleep giving into the need to finally rest now in a safe place. Ro took a breath and clenched his hands before rubbing his face. They looked at him and Jin said ‘talking, there is a lack of talking.’ Ro took a breath and looked at him from where he now sat beside me on the coffee table ‘how much do you know about hybrids?’ Yoongi said as he went over to Nick now holding a wet cold cloth having disappeared a bit ago ‘he’s in heat isn’t he?’ They all looked at the older in surprise, as Namjoon asked for them all ‘wait, what?’ Ro asked just as surprised ‘how…’ Yoongi cut him off ‘I know hybrids, I’ve seen this enough times to know the signs, I’m right aren’t I?’ Ro nodded ‘mmm, sort of its pre heat the lead up to the main event really it lasts about eight hours before his heat hits him.’ Yoongi put the cold compress on his forehead and looked at Ro ‘why come here?’ Ro took a breath and dropped his gaze to his hands ‘IQ sent us… the six of us… Nick, IQ, and I are omegas, we go through heat cycles, the other three Sung, Kane, and Song are betas but we call them alphas without an actual alpha in the group they become the substitute alphas, but because we take our suppressants it’s never been an issue until now, with everything that’s going on with…’ he paused even now unable to stay it. He took a breath and continued ‘we forgot to refill his script for his suppressants and his heat hit… Kane and Sung snapped…’ he pulled his sleeve up and glanced at the others now staring at him ‘I stupidly stepped in the middle. IQ being a tiger even as an omega is strong and told me to get Nick out of there, he remembered Sung telling him how understanding you all where and I figured being our hyungnims you could help us get him an emergency suppressant.’ Jin knelt down beside him and lifted his arm looking at the piece of cloth around what looked like a claw wound. I disappeared again and reappeared with this time ointment then butterfly strips then a bandage. Ro smiled as he watched me put the last thing down ‘you have an impressive cat.’ Jin smiled ‘we know.’ Ro chuckled and Jin pointed ‘let me see your arm.’ Ro nodded and pulled his coat off and let Jin tend the wound. Jin would have healed it in minutes but he wasn’t sure if Ro knew what BTS was, they figured waving magical healing hands would just freak the already scared omegas out so opted for the natural method. Yoongi asked as Jin worked on Ro’s arm ‘is IQ going to be okay going against betas?’ Ro nodded ‘with Nick not there he’ll be able to put them in their place, snap them out of it, but we can’t go back, Nick can’t go back until either the suppressant kicks in or his heat passes.’ Namjoon asked ‘how long does it last?’ Ro said ‘to be honest, he’s still young and for his class it could be anywhere between 3 and 7 days’ They all took a breath and Yoongi looked at him then Nick and said ‘he can stay here.’ it was more of a final statement than a suggestion. They all looked at him as Namjoon started ‘dude…’ Yoongi looked at Namjoon and cut him off ‘we need someone to watch Shadow while we have our come back, he can’t go back home, and Shadow can keep an eye on him if anything goes wrong, make sure he eats, stays relaxed… Joon-ah hybrid heats are intense if his heat does hit… hybrids can forget to eat in the middle of that, Shadow can look after him and he can look after Shadow for us.’ Namjoon nodded after processing his words ‘I see your points.’ Jin intervened as he finished treating Ro’s arm ‘okay it’s settled.’ Ro said as Jin let go of him ‘I need to go back are you sure it’s okay? I need to make sure this situation is calmed… when they snap out of it and realise I got hurt…’ he took a breath stopping himself from thinking of all the bad scenarios that could follow. Jimin grabbed his shoulder and asked ‘they aren’t talking any more are they?’ Ro dropped his gaze ‘the force that bound us vanished into thin air and we slowly drifted away. When Nick’s heat hit… the tension just boiled over. I have to go back and fix it… Sung hyung… he…’ he looked at his hands and sighed painfully. Jimin said with that warm smile of his the one that made it feel like he was hugging you ‘I will come with you.’ Ro quickly looked up at him and pushed the warm hug he felt aside instead it was replaced with worry ‘no, no you could get hurt…’ Jimin cut him off still smiling that smile at him ‘Ro, I will come with you.’ Ro looked at Nick for a second then back at Jimin, the warm hug coming back in what he felt like was full force. Something in Jimin’s eyes as he stared at the older seemed to tell him it would be okay. Jimin nodded as he felt Ro relax and stated ‘okay.’ Ro nodded after another minute ‘thank you hyungnim,’ he replied with a small smile. Jimin nodded and pointed to the youngers coat ‘get your coat.’ Jungkook turned to the hallway and got his and pulled it on before he lifted Jimin his and helped him into it before the three of them left. Namjoon turned to Yoongi ‘fill us in on what we need to know.’ And that was how the night was spent I sat watching Nick while Yoongi told the others what he knew which honestly wasn’t much about hybrids but enough to now it had been the right decision to bring Nick to them. - Ro opened the door to see the lounge room of Fracture’s dorm totalled. He stopped in the room and saw the blood on the floor and wall and rushed over to the claw mark now on the wall. He slid his hand down it and yelled as he turned to the only bedroom in the others large apartment “GUYS… IQ… KANE… SUNG… SONG…’ Jimin and Jungkook followed behind him looking at the mess and wondered what the hell had happened. Ro listened and heard four heart beats as he neared the bedroom. He rushed to the door of the room the six of them all shared and threw the door open, looking around at the four of them now in their own corner. Ro breathed more than a little panicked ‘guys…’ he stated Song sat on his bunk and said cutting in trying to reassure the omega ‘we’re fine.’ Ro shook his head as he waved his hands ‘no no, you aren’t one of you is injured.’ They looked at him and he said as he pointed out to the rest of the dorm ‘I just saw the blood in the lounge room…’ he looked around him at the three betas before he turned to the last to see IQ lying on his bed. IQ hadn’t moved since he walked in. Ro rushed over to him and climbed up on the side and gasped seeing the claw mark to his chest. Ro scrambled up into the bunk and looked at IQ now under him. Ro lifted the shirt IQ was wearing ‘KYUNGKI!’ he all but screamed in a panic. His cry and panic yanked the three out of their corner in seconds. Jimin and Jungkook now understood and took over. Jimin said pushing the three betas back and pointed to IQ ‘Kook-ah’ Jungkook nodded and grabbed IQ’s arm, pulled him down effortlessly from the bunk bed. Jungkook carried the injured omega out to the lounge room and laid him on the sofa. Jimin looked at the injuries and turned on his heel to the others ‘I need ointment, strips and bandages, now please’ Jungkook nodded before Ro lead them to the bathroom to find the first aid kit. He sat it down and helped Jimin treat IQ’s injuries. They were lucky none of them had been to the face. Jimin looked at Ro and asked ‘is his heart beat steady?’ Ro turned his head a little and nodded after a minute ‘mmm, it’s strong, I think he just passed out from exhaustion.’ Kane stared at his bloody hand with wide eyes as his breath caught. Min nodded at him, Jungkook caught his shoulder ‘hey it’s okay.’ Kane whispered ‘I… I did…’ Jungkook cut him off as he squeezed the youngers shoulder a little harder ‘look at me and listen to what I have to say.’ Kane looked at him like he was told before Jungkook continued speaking ‘you didn’t mean this, it was an accident brought on by high tensions and stress do you hear me? You didn’t hurt him on purpose and he is fine, understand me?’ Kane nodded before Jungkook nodded back in agreement. He turned the young beta around and walked him over to the other lounge sat him down before making the other two sit down at the dining table. Jimin stood up and turned to them ‘alright, so… care to explain what happened?’ he asked eyeing the three of them Sung spoke first voice heavy with pain and regret ‘I failed… I failed so badly… it’s all my fault.’ Kane said quickly cutting in ‘it was me.’ They looked at him and Kane continued to explain what had happened ‘Nick… Nick went into heat and I tried to come onto him but Song arrived home and saw the situation and stepped in and I just snapped, it was me. With everything going on I just… I lost control like I used to before…’ They realised how much their missing member had kept them together and wondered how he had actually done it and more importantly what he had actually done. It took hours to get all their pain out, blaming themselves each other even when IQ came around and had his say it was all hard to listen to for the two of them, Jimin wanting nothing more than to wrap them up in blankets and just hug them all tightly but both he and Jungkook managed to hold it together. Finally at the sun rose they had finished pointing fingers and blaming each other, Jimin had decided to put them on time out after telling them Nick was staying with them until his heat was over. They all understood and were happy for their help. - A week passed and Yoongi had been right I did take care of him when a mild version of Nick’s heat hit when the suppressant didn’t work against his stress levels and all the feelings he kept bottled up. The BTS members had watched me when they came home exhausted the last three days to see me taking him water and making him go into the kitchen to get some food even leading him to the bathroom to shower and change out of his sweat soaked clothes. They got that one rare day off on day eight before all the chaos of a comeback and found Nick sitting in the lounge eating cocopops with me siting on the arm of the chair. Nick pointed with a smile as Jin walked into the room ‘you’re cat is really cool hyungnim.’ Jin chuckled and went over to the young omega and checked his forehead ‘how you feeling kid?’ Nick nodded as he looked up at the older ‘better my heat ended last night.’ Jin nodded feeing his forehead was no longer on fire ‘I’m glad. Are you sure you’re okay?’ Nick nodded ‘you’re cat took really good care of me surprisingly, like a service dog type thing really it was cool. Thank you for letting me stay hyungnim it means a lot to me and the others.’ Jin asked as he stepped back and looked at him ‘are you headed back?’ Nick looked at his bowl more worried than anything. I meowed and tilted my head looking at him. Jin sat down on the coffee table opposite him ‘do you want Jimin-ah to go with you. He’s been dealing with the others since you got here.’ Nick asked in a soft voice ‘is that okay hyungnim?’ Jin smiled ‘Jimin-ah is special, he knows how to handle your brothers. it’ll be okay I promise.’ Nick smiled and nodded ‘thank you hyungnim for everything.’ Jin smiled in return trying not to coo at his cuteness ‘and you for looking after shadow for us’ he managed to reply. Nick smiled and nodded. Sung had been right, he really was adorable. A few hours later everyone was awake and Jimin now dressed and ready to go demanded ‘alright bunny boy show me the ears before we leave.’ They all blinked and Nick said rather confused with a head tilt ‘ah… hyungnim?’ Jimin fighting the urge like Jin had to coo folded his arms and demanded again ‘Sungie sent me a picture of you when you were a kid, I demand to see the ears right now or I send you back alone.’ Nick looked up at him for a second before his bunny ears popped out of his hair as his fluffy cotton tail appeared poking out of a slit in his jeans they hadn’t even noticed, hybrid fashion was a blessing. Hoseok squealed and rushed over and just like with Song grabbed the younger’s face “YOU’RE SO CUTE!” he declared tugging on the bunny’s cheeks. Jimin nodded and snapped the photo just like he had Sung. He said as Nick looked at him with a head tilt ‘alright we can go now.’ The two of them together Jungkook left to return the bunny back to his family. I sat watching them leave out the door Jimin now unable to contain himself over Nick’s cuteness while Jungkook just watched on in amusement. Once the door shut I sat down on my pillar. - The situation was just too… messy. And when Jimin and Jungkook got back that night it only got worse. Everything changed again that night and not for the better. Chapter End Notes Gold star count: 4 Thanks for sticking with me.
