Ahhhhh, I know that it has been sooooo long. I was just so busy with work and university that there was no time to continue the story. I also don’t know when the next chapter will be uploaded, but I promise that it will be more regularly 💜

[chapter 20 ||| chapter 22]

It had been 4 weeks since the court process and since Namjoon had been taken to the shelter. During that time, a lot of things had changed in all of their lives. The grey wolf, for example, had gone through a major inner and outer change.

His shoulder and back were not hanging low anymore. Now, he was walking around tall and proud. The fur on his ears and tail was now shining and sparkling a beautiful shade of grey and his face was no longer marked by the dark circles under his eyes, but instead two beautiful dimples were now forming on his cheeks every time he smiled, and Namjoon had been smiling a lot lately. Especially, when Hope and the boys were around him.

Several time a week, the boys had literally begged Hope to visit the tall boy in the shelter and of course, she could have never been able to resist when the boys had been looking at her with their big, brown doe eyes. Hope had often watched from the outside how the boys interacted with Namjoon. She had never understood why the boys had been affected to the Wolf immediately, but it was clear for everyone to watch that all of them belonged together in some way.

Around the girl, Namjoon was still a little bit shyer than around the boys. He would often blush or smile in embarrassment, especially because he could be really clumsy sometimes. Hope, one the other hand, had found it adorable ever time.

A smile played on the girl’s lips when she remembered a moment, where she had visited Namjoon alone a few days ago. Namjoon had suggested that the both of them could talk outside on the terrace and while he had been rambling about something, none of them had seen that the big glass window was still closed. It came like it had to, and Namjoon walked straight against the window. There had been a loud bang and then silence, before Hope had started laughing, along with Namjoon, who’s cheeks had been burning in a bright, red shade.

But the reason she had been visiting Namjoon alone was rather serious than funny. Because it was clear to see that Namjoon belonged into the boys’ and her family, Hope had applied for adoption papers for the grey Wolf, which had been a lot harden than the other times she had been at the authority. Even though Namjoon had been cleared form all his charges, there was still a note in his file that forced him to take an psychological exam before he could be adopted again.

However, the grey Wolf had been going through everything without complaining once. He had answered every question that he had been asked, taken the medical test and even passed the stress test, where they had been trying to trigger him in stressing situation. Hope had been with him all the time.

In the end, even though Hope had wanted to punch someone for those humiliating tests, Namjoon passed everything and that how the girl found herself waling along the corridor of the shelter, holding Namjoon’s adoption papers proudly in front of her chest. When she reached the end of the hallway, she careful knocked on the door.

“Namjoon?” She pushed the door open and carefully peaked her head inside the room, where she already spotted the tall boy sitting on his bed. “Good morning.”

The boy was sitting patiently on his freshly made bed when she entered. He had packed all the clothes the boys had given him form time to time in his small backpack, leaving his wardrobe empty, as well as the rest of his small room.

“Hope.” He happily stated when her small frame walked through the door. “You – you really came.”

“Of course, I came.” Hope stopped in her tracks when she heard the tone that was swinging in his words. “We agreed that I would come and get you today, remember? Look, I just signed your adoption papers.”

Namjoon’s eyes were wide when she showed him the adoption papers – his adoption papers. The room stayed silence for another few minutes.

“Are you ready to come home?” She eventually asked into the silence, before she laid her smaller hands on his that was resting on the edge of the bed, smiling encouraging at the boy. “The boys are already waiting for us.”

Hope knew how excited the other boys had been over the last few days. Together, they had planned out for days how they would be welcoming Namjoon once he was home and from what Hope had seen, she knew it was going to be something very special for all of them.

“Home.” Namjoon suddenly mumbled to himself, looking up at Hope, who had already stood up and taken his small backpack. “Do you really want me to live with you? What if this was a wrong decision?”

Hope’s heart broke when she saw the sadness in his eyes. The last thing she wanted was for him to think that he was a burden to anyone.

“Namjoon – “ She whispered, before she bent down in front of him. “ – I know it sound scary for you to suddenly move in with people you have barely known for a few weeks, but please, never have any doubts that you are not wanted with us. We – We love you, and we want you to live a life you deserve. So, as long as you want, you are more than welcome to live with us. You belong with us now.”

While speaking, she squeezed the taller boy’s hands, causing a small smile on his lips.

“Are you ready?” Hope asked again, as she stood up.

Namjoon nodded, standing up from the bed as well and before the girl could turn around to leave the room, the Wolf had already pulled her into a tight hug. Surprised, Hope gasped slightly, but eventually, she smile and hugged the taller boy back.

“Thank you, for everything.” Namjoon almost whispered, as he let go of her.

“Anytime.” Hope answered, before she took his hand. “Now come on, the boys are probably wondering where we are.”

The whole car ride, Namjoon bounced his legs up and down. Though Hope had insured him that he was absolutely wanted, there was still that voice in the back of his head, that voice that was reminding him all the time what he had been through.

He shook his head. No. He did not want to think about his past anymore. He had promised himself to let go of that chapter of his life when Hope had told him that she wanted to adopt him. He had seen the way Jin, Jungkook, Hobi, Jimin and Taehyung were living and he wanted that, too. All his life, he had wished for nothing more than to have a family that cared for each other and now, there was that opportunity for him, so he had promised himself to not mess this up. He wanted to start his new life without any old doubts and thoughts.

“We are here.” Hope happily stated, as she stopped the car.

So sunken in his thoughts, Namjoon had not noticed that they were already at their apartment. Carefully, the Wolf pushed his car door open and stepped out, only to hear a slight knock through the air. He turned his head around to find the source of this strange noise.

“Look.” Hope suddenly smiled, as she pointed up the building. “Jiminie is already waiting for us.”

When Namjoon looked up towards the window, he indeed saw Jimin standing there. The white tiger was smiling widely, as he waved his hand happily at Namjoon and Hope. Immediately, the corners of Namjoon’s mouth raise and a warm feeling spread through his body. He already felt welcome and he wasn’t even in the apartment.

Together, him and Hope made their way upwards and Hope unlocked the door to her apartment. Namjoon felt his body relaxing when the familiar scent hit his nose. This definitely felt right.

“Hope! Namjoon!” Jimin moved away from the window bench and happily bounced towards the two arrives, before he threw himself into the girl’s arms.

“Are they home yet?” Namjoon cold suddenly hear Jungkook’s voice coming from down the hallway, before the rest of the boys appeared into the living room.

Namjoon was so overwhelmed when he was warmly greeted by each single boy with a tight hug. Over the last weeks, Hope and the boys had visited him in the shelter from time to time, always making sure that he was doing okay. During that time, Namjoon had really taken all of them into his heart.

In all the mess of greetings and welcomes that had Namjoon’s complete attention, he hadn’t noticed his surroundings. It was only when suddenly, Hobi put his hands over Namjoon’s eyes from behind, before he slightly pushed the taller boy forward.

“What – what are you doing?” Namjoon carefully asked, but kept walking until Hobi stopped.

“We have a surprise for you.” He heard Jin’s voice from his right side, along with several other clinging sounds.

With a beating heart, Namjoon waited for Hobi to lower his hands, before he carefully opened his eyes. He gasped, when he saw a big sign that had been hung up over the entrance to the kitchen, saying ‘Welcome Home, Namjoon’. On the set up table in the middle of the living room, there was standing a big cake, along with a small package that was wrapped in colourful gift paper.

Namjoon was speechless at this gesture. Hope had said that the boys were excited for him to move in, but he had never believed that it would be so important for them.

“I – I – “ He stuttered. “I don’t know what to say. I – No one has ever done something like that for me. I – “

“You haven’t even seen your present, yet.” Jungkook piped in, not letting the taller boy finish.

Before Namjoon could talk again, the youngest boy was already pushing him towards the table, gesturing for him to open up his gift. Carefully, Namjoon lifted the small package and removed the paper that was wrapped around it. Once again , his heart was beating fast in his chest. Never in his life had someone made him a gift.

“Wow.” He whispered, once the paper was removed completely.

In his hands, he was now holding a framed picture. In this picture, the boys were all sitting in a half circle on a blanket in the backyard of the shelter. Namjoon remembered that day. Jungkook had just told them a funny story, making all of them laugh.

“Awww.” Hope came up from Namjoon’s side, looking up at the other boys. “I took that picture of you when we had our picknick. That’s why you wanted me to buy the frame. That’s so cute of you.”

She walked up to Jungkook, who was standing the closest to her, before she got on her tippy toes and pressed a long kiss towards his cheeks and making him blush at the same time. Namjoon, on the other hand, was speechless again. He let his gaze wander over the picture once again, asking himself how his life had suddenly taken such a turn for good.

“Don’t you like it?” He was ripped out of his thoughts by Jimin, who had walked up next towards the taller boy.

“No!” Namjoon quickly replied. “I love it. I really – do love it. Thank you so much.”

The tall boy didn’t know what suddenly came over him, but he just pulled Jimin, who was standing the closest to him, into his arms, hugging him tightly. This time he knew it for sure, he had made the right decision.

Taehyung smiled happily when he watched his brother sleeping heavily on the other side of the bed. He loved seeing Jimin this happy and relaxed after all they have bee through. This day, where they had officially welcomed Namjoon into their home, had reminded him once again how lucky they were to be here.

One last time, he drove his hands over his brother’s hair, before he turned around and flicked the light off. The black tiger was just about to close his eyes, when suddenly, he heard the sound of their room door cracking open. Of course, he immediately smelled that Hope entered the room.

“Jimin, Tae?” She whispered into the darkness, her voice held a tone of shakiness.

“What happened?” Taehyung sat up in his bed, whispering back to not wake up his brother.

He saw the girl’s small frame making it’s way through the room and over towards the bed, before she hopped onto it and crawled closer towards him.

“I – I just – “ She mumbled a few words, before she took a deep breath. “There was a noise at my window, and Jungkook and Jin were already sleeping, and I didn’t want to make Namjoon uncomfortable in Hobi’s room, so I thought that – ehm – maybe I could – “

Taehyung knew what she wanted to ask. From the outside, he acted it cool, smirking slightly and opening up his blanket for her to crawl under it. From the inside, his heart was suddenly beating a lot faster than just a few minutes before.

He laid back down behind Hope, placing his arm over her shoulders, pulling her a little bit closer under the blanket. The tiger watched, as she freed one of her arms from under the blanket again, moving it over to Jimin and driving it over his peacefully resting face.

“Tae?” She whispered again into the darkness. “In the beginning, why did you doubt that you belong here?”

Taehyung was a little bit surprised by her question.

“I – ehm – “ He thought for another few seconds. “I think it was because I doubted myself. I was so torn between the bad experiences and the mistakes I made, that I didn’t see the opportunities that had been opened up in front of me. I wanted to see the bad sides in everything so badly, because I needed some kind of confirmation for myself. I just didn’t want to admit that I was wrong, you know?”

Hope just hummed in response, rubbing her cheek over his arm that he had wrapped around her from behind.

“But – you don’t have this doubts anymore, haven’t you?” She replied after a few seconds of silence, squeezing his hand a little bit tighter.

“No, there are no doubts left. This is where I belong.” The black tiger insured, nuzzling his nose into the girl’s hair. “Why did you ask this?”

“Namjoon – “ The girl sighed. “ – earlier in the shelter, he asked me if it was the right decision to take him in, and if he would really belong here. It just stuck in my head the whole day.”

Taehyung stayed silent. He knew that it would need much more time for Namjoon to finally settle in here and to realize that his life had just taken a major change.

“Give him more time.” He whispered into her ear. “He will never regret his choice. Just like none of us regret our choices.”

Hello to everyone out there! 👋🏻

I got a lot of messages lately, whether Sehnsucht has been put on hiatus or not:

NOOOOOOO!

In the last weeks, I tried so hard to push myself to keep writing or to find any free time, so that you don’t have to wait longer.

You have to know that many things in my life are changing in the moment. I just finished Highschool and university is about to start, I am moving into my very first apartment…all this takes a lot of time and nerves.

Of course, I want to put as much passion and energy into my writings as possible, so it doesn’t have to lose it’s quality. The last weeks, I couldn’t find this passion and energy, but I am back NOW 😌 I’m sure that in the next few weeks, I will find the time to update Sehnsucht again! Don’t be disappointed, if the next updates won’t be weekly. But I promise, that I will update!

To my followers in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg or Belgium:

I pray for you and your families that you are safe and fine! I cried when I saw the pictures on TV, where houses and cars have been flooded away just like that 😞🥺😓I can’t imagine how it must feel to lose all your belongings within minutes. Many people lost their lives or their existence, and my heart breaks when I think about that. I really, really, really hope you are not affected by this catastrophe. Stay strong! My heart is with you❤️❤️❤️

Mꨄ

Okay, 3 important things before the chapter starts.

I am not a lawyer, and I did not study American law. All laws or rights that are mentioned in this chapter are either made up or superficially researched. So please, do feel offended if I named something wrong. I also don’t know how exacts a court process works. This is only how I imagine it. Don’t come for me.

My next update will not be next Sunday, because my whole week is so planned out. I really can’t find the time to write the next chapter in one week. Please, hone me time until next week! Thank you!

Over 300 followers?! Are you crazy or what? I can’t really express how happy writing Sehnsucht makes me. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼🥰

❤️❤️❤️

Stay healthy and safe

[chapter 19 ||| chapter 21]

“Alpha to Beta, are you in position?”

A male’s voice spoke into the tiny transmitting device on his wrist, before he sunk his arm down and grabbed the handle of his stun gun, carefully walking towards the tall stone wall in the widdle of the forest. With ever step, the picture of the camera strapped around his chest vibrated, making it hard to make something out in the dimmed light of the darker forest.

The microphone in the man’s helmet rustled, before another voice could be heard.

“In position.” The voice simply said. “The target is in sight. Shall I shoot?”

Slowly, the man kept on moving his way through the trees.

“No.” He had taken his hand away from the stun gun, lifting his wrist up towards his face. “I want to inspect him properly. If he is a rare breed, we could still make a lot of money with him.”

For a few more seconds, the sound of cracking leave and twigs filled the video tape. The man was still walking along the tall stone wall until the camera finally focused on the video’s main person.

“Look what we have got here.” The man said with a nasty voice. “The woman on the phone wasn’t lying. A Mexican grey wolf. You are still going to bring us a good salary.”

With his back towards the hard stone wall, Namjoon was looking scared at the man in front of him. His torso was only covered with a ripped shirt and a pair of baggy shorts. While his tail was tightly wrapped around his leg, his eyes moved between the man standing in front of him and the man coming out of the bush behind him, both with their stun guns pointed at the poor Wolf.

The man, as well as Namjoon, knew that he was trapped. There was no chance for him to take a run, because one of the two police officers could easily tease him with their stun guns. He was trapped.

With sudden and big steps, the first man made his way up towards Namjoon, forcing him to walk backwards and not paying attention to the second man, who was now coming up from behind the Wolf Hybrid. Before Namjoon had any chance to react, the second man had already wrapped a strapped around his torso, tying his arms up tightly.

Then hell broke loose. Namjoon, of course, tried to defend himself. With his tall body, he tried to wiggle out of the second man’s gip, causing them both to fall on the ground. For the following minutes, only shouts, causes and grunts cold be heard, while the picture of the camera was just a wild flickering of different colours.

“You stupid animal.” The first man cursed when Namjoon accidently backed out with his hand and scratched over his face. The man stumbled back, before he stopped in his tracks, the camera clearly focused on Namjoon and the second man again. “I swear to god, I am going to make you regret this.”

With the remote in her hands, Hope stopped the video when the first man was about to make his stun gun ready to tease Namjoon down. Then, the court room stayed silence.

It had been three days since Namjoon had stayed with Hope and the boys for that one night. This one night since her boys had become so addicted to Namjoon that they had literally begged her for three days to see him again. It amazed her how fast those boys could get fond of each other. After all, they had met Namjoon for the very first time that day.

But also Namjoon had seemed to enjoy that day. Not only had he seemed to feel extremely comfortable, but after that night, he had started being way more often towards the girl. He had smiled more often, he had asked about the boys and how they were doing, and most important, he had finally told her about the day he had been locked away.

Of course, that day had been a long time ago, which meant that they had nothing to proof Namjoon’s testimony. They had tried everything to find a proof for the police officers’ misbehave, until Namjoon had remembered the probably most important detail about that day.

Sometimes, police officers had to wear cameras strapped around their bodies, so dangerous or complicated situations can be analysed more practised later. After those two men had brought Namjoon to the police station, the first man never stated that he had been wearing a camera. The reason was obvious.

Hope had phoned around for hours, filling in amounts of contracts so she could get insights into that video. The man’s lawyer of course had tried to prevent that, but since those videos have been invented for such situations, she got a full view on the video tape that obviously was the proof they had needed.

Immediately, Hope had applied for that tape as an official evidence in front of the judge. This process had taken an enormous amount of time. Hope even had feared that she would not get access to that video by the time the process would already have begun, but luckily, they had get the approval just in time.

All along, Namjoon had been more than cooperative. Hope knew what it ha taken him to work up this horrible past of his, but he had not complained once. He had watched the video with the girl together several times, he had filled in contracts, he had taken psychological reports and he had not put up a fight when they had trapped him in hand and ankle cuffs.

Unfortunately, it was a court instruction that every Hybrid needed to wear those cuffs for safety reasons. It was nothing Hope could have prevented.

That was where Hope currently found herself, standing in the middle of the deathly silent court room, wearing her long, black robe and waiting for the right moment to continue her plea. But before she started talking again, she took one last look at the wolf Hybrid in the middle of the room.

Namjoon looked horrible. Even though he would never show it, this judicial process bothered him a lot. The dark circles under his eyes gave away that he probably had not got much sleep the previous night, as well as his hair that stuck out to all directions and cracked up lips. His body hung low in the chair he was strapped in, almost as if he would slide down the chair every second.

In that moment, Hope wished for nothing more than to run over to him and pull him in her arms tightly, telling him that everything would turn out alright. But she couldn’t. She needed to stay professional.

Her gaze slide once again over the crowd full of reporters and journalists in the back of the room. They all tried to squeeze themselves as far in the front as possible, holding their cameras and flash lights on Namjoon all the time. Hope sighed in relief that she had not brought the other boys with her. She did absolutely not want to think about what would have happened if the five of them had been in that crowd all by themselves.

“As you may see, your Honor.” Hope had gathered together all her effort, as she started her plea. “This video is an official proffer that Mr. Clay has violate not one, but in total 4 basic laws. My client has been humiliated by this improper removal. With absolutely no enlightenment about his rights, he had been cuffed up and gagged in the back of a van. This is an enormous violation against the protocol. My client also only showed self-defence in that situation. He had been attack from ambush, which is not only humiliation but also a violation against the right bodily integrity.

Your Honor, I know that there is no specific arrangement for Hybrids in that point, but there is only one protocol of how police officers are allowed to arrest someone, and that says that it must be guaranteed for anybody, human or Hybrid, that the arrest is proceed according to regulation, which has obviously been violated in this case.”

For the last part, Hope had turned away from the police officer and his lawyer, who was currently shaking his head, and looked at the judge. The judge for this case was an older woman, maybe in her 50’s. In the first moment, she might looked intimidating, but Laura had already told that she actually was a ration person to talk to.

“For the obvious reasons – “ Hope continued when the judge was looking up from her writings again. “Mr. Clay considered bringing my client to an auction for selfish purposes. If I may quote from the video tape: “Look what we have got here. […] A Mexican grey wolf. You are still going to bring us a good salary.” Hybrid auctions are highly illegal and humiliating. In addition, Mr. Clay has not only broken his oath and lied in the court room when he told a wrong story, but he also tried to purposely hide an official evidence that can obviously relieve my client. This is suppression of evidences and also illegal.”

Once again, Hope paused for a moment to let her gaze drive through the room was silent again, only the clicking noises of cameras could be heard.

When she looked over towards Mr. Clay, she was shocked over his state. The man was not wearing his self-confident smile anymore. He rather looked pale and small in his chair, almost as if he was just realizing that there actually were evidenced against him. His lawyer meanwhile was still shaking his head while writing furiously into his note book.

On the other side, Namjoon was starring wide eyed at the mall girl in the black robe. Beside fear, his eyes were now holding a small, tiny sparkle of hope.

“If I may sum up my main points, Your Honor.” Hope started talking again, waiting for the judge to nod. “Mr. Clay humiliated my client in the worst ways. He violated my client’s right of bodily integrity, his right of an proper arrest, Mr. Clay abused his position of power as a police officer by using his stun gun for no reason, he was willing to participate my client in an auction and he denied the court important evidences for his selfish purposes. Your Honor, in my opinion, my client is absolutely guiltless. His action were caused by nothing but fear and force. I advocate immediate impunity for my client and – ”

“I object! This is ridicules!” Mr. Clay’s lawyer had stood up from his bench, interrupting Hope in her plea. “Your Honor, I admit that we made a mistake by withholding my client’s video tape, but this – this animal has been strolling around without an official registration after all. He was illegal in that forest. He should be –“

“No, my client was not illegal there.” Hope gathered all her braveness to stand up for Namjoon. After all, she was countering with bulletproof facts. “We analysed all local authorities. My client was officially registered to one authority, but no one ever bothered looking after him. He got lost in the forest when he was abandoned there. Your Honor, that no one noticed my client’s absence only shows those people don’t really care.”

Of course, this was a lame excuse why Namjoon had never went to an authority. But who could proof it wrong?

“Tzz.” The lawyer laughed dryly. “This is ridicules. No one gets lost in a forest for over 15 years. Your Honor, who would be so stupid and believes the story of this would.be lawyer who – “

“This is enough, Mr. Thomas!” The judge suddenly said with her prominent voice, hitting her hammer on the table loudly and making every one shut up immediately. “Do you actually have the slightest proof for your accuses, Mr. Thomas? You are throwing with accuses, but you have absolutely no evidence for any of those. It’s hard for me to follow our line of argumentation when all of them are just speculations, while Ms. Carson shows off one fact after another. I need time to think about all of your arguments. I will retire now.”

With that, the judge hit her hammer onto the table one more time, before she stood up from her chair and went out of the room, leaving back a happy Hope and a pretty dumb folded lawyer.

Hope looked one last time at the man, before she lifted her hand to throw her long hair confidently over her shoulder, turned around and walked away towards Namjoon. The poor Wolf was still hanging in his chair with his shoulder, ears and tail low.

“Hey.” Hope almost whispered when she stood in front of the glass cade Namjoon was held in. Slowly, she pressed her flat hand against the glass. “We will get through it.”

Namjoon tiredly nodded, before he lifted his hand as much as it was possible with his cuffs on, laying his much larger hand right against her hand on the glass.

Over an hour passed before the court room’s door finally opened again and the judge entered. She met eyes with Hope and Mr. Clay’s lawyer without giving away what her final verdict. She just kept looking sternly, taking a seat and opening her note book, before clearing her throat.

“Please, take your seats everyone. I am going to announce the final verdict now.” She calmly said, waiting for everyone to become silent. “The jury and I have deliberated and came to a result. The defendant, Kim Namjoon, was charged with illegal residence and resistance to state power. We have heard both sides, and we have seen evidences that helped us finding the right verdict. In the name of the people of the United States of America, I announce the following verdict: The accused is not guilty of the act of illegal residence and/or resistance to state power. The mistake and misbehave obviously came from the defender, Jack Clay, and cannot be transferred to the behaviour of Kim Namjoon. With my power, I absolve Mister Kim Namjoon of all charges. The verdict has been pronounced and is immediate. I declare this trail to be ended.”

She hit her hammer onto the table three times, before gathering up her things and stood up to leave the court room. But before she finally left, she stopped a few inches away from the other lawyer.

“Ah, Mr. Thomas.” She dryly said. “To answer your question, I am so stupid and believe the story of his quite talented young lady. I think she could give you some good devices how to lead a proper defence. Have a good day.”

She winked at Hope one last time, before she left the lawyer dumb folded again. Amazed and confused at the same time, Hope slowly turned around to face Namjoon. The wolf was just lead out of the glass cage when Hope made her way up towards him, speeding up with every step, before she stopped in front of the tall boy.

“I – “ She started, not really knowing what to say. Luckily for her, Namjoon had already covered her.

“Thank you.” He opened his arms and pulled her into his chest without hesitation, making Hope gasp from this sudden affection, but she didn’t mind. “I can’t tell how much I thank you.”

She wrapped her arms around his much larger torso as well, whispering a quiet ‘you’re welcome’. The two of them stayed like this for another few minutes, before Namjoon was lead out of the room.

“Hyung.” Jungkook mumbled towards Taehyung, who was pressing his nose against the window. “How do you like that melody?”

The Bunny placed eh guitar on his thigh and started playing a soft melody while singing the lines he had already written down.

“What do you think?” He asked again when he had finished his song, looking expectingly at his older brother.

“Hm, what?” Tae snapped out of his stare, before he turned around, eyebrows cocking up in confusion.

Jungkook just sighed and mumbled a nothing under his breath, laying the guitar on the other side of the sofa and petting his knees. Tae hesitated for a moment but eventually, he pressed himself off the window bench and walked over to the younger one, before cuddling up to the Bunny.

“You know what they will do to Namjoon if Hope can’t defend him.” Tae suddenly mumbled, pressing himself closer towards the younger boy.

“I know.” Jungkook replied. “But this won’t happen. You heard what she said. She found that video that could relieve him – that will relieve him. Don’t worry Tae, everything is going to be okay.”

The two boys continued their cuddling on the sofa, just enjoying their time alone while the other one’s were occupied cleaning their rooms.

Eventually, Hope returned after another 30 minutes of waiting. By know The boys knew exactly the rhythm of her steps as they halled thought the hallway or the sound of her keys when she fiddled them out of her purse.

Excitingly, Jungkook yelled for the other boys to out of their rooms, before the front door was already opening and a smiling Hope entering the apartment. Jungkook started smiling immediately when he saw her happy face. This could only mean that everything in the court room had been going alright.

“Hope!” He yelled, as he was already pulling her into a thigh hug. “We missed you so much today.”

“I missed you guys, too.” She whispered back into the taller boy’s fluffy hair, before she let go of his torso and closed the door behind her back.

The bunny looked watched confused, as Hope placed her purse on the floor and pulled the other boys into tight hugs. Actually, he had hoped for Namjoon to trail after the girl, but he didn’t. From one to the other second, his excitement had gone.

“Hope.” He nudged her arm slightly. “Where – where is Namjoon? Did you not win the process?”

“Yeah, Hope.” Hobi had sunk his ears low like the rest of the boys, looking wide eyed at the girl. “You said that video could save him, didn’t you?”

Hope began to smile when she saw her boys looking at her with their big eyes. She slightly nudged Jungkook’s arms and gestured for the boys to follow her to the sofa. When they all had taken their seats, Hope began to tell her story.

“We got him trough.” She said and started smiling widely, making the boys cheer at the same time. “Everything went so right for us. Even the judge was on our side!”

A giant stone fell from Jungkook’s shoulders when he herd her words. Hope had told them what could have happened if they would not have won today. In that one night, the Bunny had taken Namjoon to his heart so fast, it had been heart-breaking for him to let him go the next day.

He had hope so much that after that process, Namjoon could have stayed longer with Jungkook and his family than one night. Maybe a few weeks or even forever, the youngest would not have cared. He had just wanted to give the tall boy a safe and warm home after all the mess he had went through.

“But – but where is Namjoon now?” Jungkook asked a little bit disappointed, still hoping that the wolf would come through the door any second.

“They brought him to a shelter where he can rest now.” Hope looked over at Jungkook, her smile suddenly dropped when she saw his low hanging ears. “Why are you so sad, Kookie? You don’t need to worry about Namjoon, he will be safe there, I promise.”

Of course, Jungkook trusted the small girl when she said him that Namjoon was safe now but still, it that feeling of sadness kept clinging to his heart.

Jin on the other side of the sofa had also, like the rest of the boys, enjoyed the time with Namjoon, and Jungkook knew his brother, he was just as sad as him.

“We – ehm – “ Jin scratched his neck, before he looked up at the other boys, knowing that they had the same thoughts in mind. “We actually thought that you would bring Namjoon home with you.”

For a moment, Hope kept looking at the oldest boy, obviously confused by his admission.

“Oh, Jin.” She said, taking his hand in her smaller ones and looking at the other boys. “I am so sorry, but I have not adopted Namjoon. He – there was no chance for me to just take him home with me. That would have been illegal. But I am sure that he is fine – “

“ – and if he is not fine.” Jimin piped in from next to the girl, wrapping his arms and tail around his torso. “He has no friends where he is now. What if he is alone, or if his bed is not comfortable, or what if he doesn’t like the food there.”

Jimin’s lips had started trembling slightly, causing Taehyung to pull the smaller tiger into his embrace, rubbing his hand over his brother’s back.

“I am so sorry.” Hope said again. “I didn’t know that you guys miss him so much. Believe me, I miss him too. Maybe we could give him a visit tomorrow, what do you think about that? We could make sure that everything is alright, and we can spend some more time with him.”

Though Jungkook was not 100% satisfied with this solution, he put on a smile. He knew that Hope would never put a Hybrid into a dangerous situation.

With no other option left, he joined the other boys who were currently taggling the girl down with hugs and snuggles.

The next morning came to quickly for Jin. He felt like it was just a few seconds ago that he had closed his eyes to fell into a heavy sleep. When his mind was fully functioning, he blinked a few times and stretched his ears, tail and arms out.

“Ouch.” He suddenly heard when his hand collided with something hard.

When Jin looked at the source of that noise, he saw a tiredly Hobi waking up from hi sleep, looking just as confused as Jin a few minutes ago. It was just now that Jin realized that they all were still in the living room, laying on the big mattress in front of the TV.

Hobi was laying on his stomach at the top, while Hope had her had laid on the small of his back where she used his soft tail as a cushion. Jin meanwhile was laying on the girl’s right side and Jimin on her left side. The smaller tiger had curled himself up next to Hope, with his legs tangled with hers. Behind his beck, Tae had wrapped his arms around his brother and was snuggling up from behind him.

But in the funniest position was Jungkook sleeping. The youngest boy was laying on the other end of the mattress all by himself. He had turned onto his back, while his legs, arms and ears were spread out to all directions, making him look like a dead starfish.

Jin smiled when he looked at all of them. Though they all weren’t related by blood, those people were his family. He had developed a strong love for all of them, a love as brother, a love as friends and a lover love, of course.

His thoughts drove back to the evening him and Hope had kissed for the first time.

The younger boys had been hanging around in one of their room’s, while Jin had been preparing their dinner as usual. He had just wanted to tune around to get the spices from the shelf of the other side, when suddenly, the small girl had been standing in front of him.

She had smirked at his cute reaction, but had offered – well, more demanded – helping him with dinner. Usually, he would have never allowed her to fuss around the kitchen, but since the boys had not allowed her to enter Jungkook’s and Jin’s room, she had nothing else to do.

Together, they had cut the vegetables and other ingredients until they had been ready to be put into the oven. With his large gloves, Jin had bent down and placed the baking dish in the middle of the oven and closed the door. He watched the food though the small glassy window, when Hope had suddenly kneeled down next to him.

It had been movie-like. Both of the had been kneeling next to each, turning their heads at the same time, so their nosed had just been inches apart.

Jin didn’t remember whether he or Hope had leant in first, but he remembered it as one of the best feelings in his live. The kiss had been short, but her lips had felt so soft and warms against his. If he could, he would never let this feeling go again. When they had pulled away from each other, it had not been awkward at all. Instead of an uncomfortable silenced, they had rather been started giggling like teenagers at the same time, making this memory unforgettable and beautiful.

“Hyung, what time is it?” A sleepy voice mad him snap back to reality.

Hobi had pushed himself up from his position, making the other ones waking up because of his movements.

“It’s 10 in the morning, Hobi.” Jin replied, as Hobi just groaned and sunk his head back onto the mattress, before it snapped back up.

“10 in the morning?!” He almost yelled, waking the others full up. “We are running late. We wanted to surprise Namjoon with a picknick breakfast. We need to hurry!”

In less than 30 minutes, which was very, very fast for 5 people and one bathroom to get ready, they all sat in the van off their way to the shelter Namjoon was currently living in.

In the previous night, they all had sat together and thought about what to do with Namjoon, because it had turned out that neither Hope, nor the rest of the boys wanted to let him go like this. It had been Tae who had suggested doing a breakfast together with the Wolf hybrid.

The plan was to get to know Namjoon more, before further missions would be made. The poor wolf had been through a lot of things in his life, he needed a stable home with people he could get along well.

“We are here.” Hope announced, after she had parked the car, taking off her sunglasses and stepping out of the van, followed by the other boys.

Jin suddenly felt nervous. In his eyes, Namjoon would just fit perfectly into their crazy family, but what if Namjoon would be other opinion? What if Namjoon had decided that after all the mess, he would be better on his own, like Jin himself had been thinking in the past?

Jin flinched slightly, when a warm and smaller hand made its way into his larger one. Jimin had probably seen the Leopard’s concerned expression, giving him a warm and encouraging smile, before they all entered the shelter.

Stuck together, the boys stood in the middle of the white hallway, waiting for Hope to get Namjoon from his room. While waiting, felt a shiver running down his spine, making his hand squeeze tighter around Jimin’s hand.

“I don’t like it here.” Jungkook whispered, as he wrapped his own arms around his torso. “It’s such a sad place. I am glad we don’t have to live here.”

Jin and the other boys nodded in agreement. This place didn’t look dangerous or run down at all, but it didn’t look inviting either. The walls were painted in a neutral white colour, with absolutely no decoration. No pictures, no plants, no love.

“Poor Namjoon.” Jimin whined, pressing himself closer at Jin’s side. “I hope he has an comfortable bed at least.”

They waited another 10 minutes, before suddenly the sound of squeaking stair steps rang through the long hallway. Then, Namjoon stepped around the corner.

“Namjoon!” Jimin smiled widely at the Wolf.

The smaller tiger stopped politely on front of Namjoon, obviously waiting for his permission to go further. Namjoon hesitated at first, but he eventually nodded slightly, letting Jimin hug him tightly.

“Come on, guys.” Hope said, pointing her fingers towards a large window door. “They have a huge garden here. We can sit down there.”

Hope was right. Behind the large shelter building was a large garden with a few trees and benches standing around. They walked to the very end of the garden, that was fenced by a high bush row.

“So Namjoon.” Jin smiled up at the younger boy when they all had sat down on the large blanket. “How have you been?”

Namjoon looked much better than the last time Jin had seen him. His skin was no longer looking pale and faded, but held more glow and freshness. There also was no hints of large circles under his eyes anymore. Now, his deep brown eyes were no longer filled with emptiness, they were rather sparkling with life now.

“I – I have been good.” He admitted, taking a small bite of toast. “Actually, last night was the first night in years that I actually had a good sleep. Thank you again, for everything you have done for me.”

He bowed his head slightly, cheeks blushing from his words.

Jin knew how much a night full of sleep could mean. He clearly remembered the first night in Hope’s apartment. It was strange at first, but it was the best thing that had happened in that night.

“Namjoon.” Jimin moved his spot closer to Namjoon, nudging his arm slightly. “How do you like it here? Are you comfortable here? Do you have friends here?”

It was no secret that Jimin was caring for the people he liked. The smaller tiger had been worried about Namjoon none stop for the past hours.

“I – the people here are nice, I guess. “ Namjoon said a little bit confused. His voice didn’t sound sad, but somehow, there was a tiny hind of something else. “But they are pretty much for themselves, so I don’t really have anyone to talk to. My room is nice. I have a bed and a wardrobe for myself.”

“Do you have any clothes to put into the wardrobe?” Hobi asked innocently, while took a big sip of his orange juice.

Namjoon’s excited expression dropped for a moment, before a red shade covered his cheeks and he shook his head.

“Don’t worry, Namjoon.” Jungkook answered with his cheeks full of toast. “We will bring you some of our clothes the next time we see you.”

Namjoon wanted to say something, but a clear shake of Hope’s head made him close his mouth again, knowing it would be useless to argue against the boys. Instead, he lowed his head to take another bite of his breakfast, a soft smile on his lips.

The breakfast picknick went along well for everyone. Namjoon finally had the chance to open up to everyone without any pressure and worries.

[chapter 18 ||| chapter 20]

„Okay guys, are we sure we wanna do this today?” Jin asked nervously, as he walked up and down his and Jungkook’s room.

All the boys had met up here, waiting for Hope and Namjoon to finally come home. After three long days of phoning her bosses and her bosses’ bosses nonstop, she had finally got the permission to keep Namjoon for exactly 24 hours, before he would get brought back. In the morning, she had left the boys to pick up Namjoon form the company, leaving 5 nervous and excited Hybrids back.

“Of course, we are sure.” Jungkook mumbled, not looking up from his note book. “She was on the phone for three days to get him here. We can’t pull back now.”

The other boys nodded in agreement, before they started another conversation about something Jungkook couldn’t care in that moment. It was not that he wasn’t excited to help Namjoon, but in his mind, he had been busy for a few days.

His mental absence had not been unnoticed by the other boys and Hope. They had come up to him, asking if he was okay or if he needed to talk. But Jungkook was more than okay, indeed, he was having the time of his life living with his friends and Hope. He wanted to give her something back, and since he had no money to buy something for the girl, he had chosen his very own way of thanking her.

“What are you eve doing there, Jungkook?” Jimin asked, receiving no answer from the Bunny. “Jungkook!”

“Hm, what?” The youngest boy snapped out of his thoughts when he hear Jimin literally calling his name.

Confused, he looked around his smirking friends.

“What are you writing in your book all day long?” This time it was Tae who was speaking, as he stood up from the bed and walked over towards his younger friend to take a look into his note book. To his disappointment, Jungkook quickly shut the book close before Tae could take a closer look.

“I am writing something for Hope.” The bunny mumbled, tapping his pencil against his lips. “Hey, Jin, so you know another word for happiness?”

Jungkook’s older brother was now looking confused at the other boys in the room, before he scratched the back of his head.

“What about joy?” He suggested, earning a shaking head from Jungkook.

“No.” He just said. “Too childish.”

“Excitement?”

“Too simple.”

“Glee?”

“Not what I am looking for.”

“What about euphoria?” Jimin piped in from the other side of the room, throwing a hand full nuts into his mouth.

“Euphoria.” Jungkook mumbled to himself, opening his note book again. “You are the cause of my Euphoria.”

He skimmed over the line he had already written down over and over again, saying them in his head a hundred times, before a large smile started playing on his lips.

“That’s it.” He said out lout. “Euphoria is the perfect word.”

He bent over his note book again and filled all the gaps with this one word until the first parts of his text were completed. He then laid hi pencil down and turned around on his char to face his Hyungs with a large smile.

“I didn’t want to tell you, but I have been writing on a song for Hope the last few days.” He proudly said, holding up his note book. “Here, let me show you the first verses.

You are the sunlight that rose again in my life

A reincarnation of my childhood dreams

I don’t know what these emotions are

Am I still dreaming?

ꕀ

There is a green oasis in the desert

A priori deep inside of me

I’m so happy, I can’t breath

Everything is getting blurry.

ꕀ

I can hear the ocean from far away

Across the dream, past the woods

I’m following this clarity

Take my hands now

You are the cause of my Euphoria

Yeah, well – I still need to complete the other verses and the melody, but I already have some ideas.”

Shyly, the youngest boy scratched his neck when he saw the wide eyes of his brothers looking at him. Normally, he didn’t mind being the centre of attention among his little family, but that line he had written down meant a lot to him. That was why his Hyungs reactions were so important for him in that moment.

“Wow, Jungkook. Did you create those line yourself?” Jin was the first one to say something, making his smaller brother nod. “I think she will love it.”

The other boys nodded in agreement, making Jungkook feel proud of himself that they were liking his idea. In the past, he had often doubt his skills and talents, but he had learnt that people around him were serious when they would make him compliments. It had taken some time, but now, he knew that he had truly found his happiness.

Jimin pressed his nose closer against the glass window, hoping that Hope’s car would already show up in front of the house. Hope had said that she would be back by 12 o’clock, which meant that she already needed to be back. Impatiently, the white tiger tapped his right foot on the ground.

“She will be back soon.” His brother came up from behind and laid his arms around the smaller boy’s shoulders, pulling him closer to his chest.

“But it’s already 5 minutes after 12.” Jimin mumbled, leaning back against his taller brother. “They should be here by now. Maybe something – there they are!”

The smaller tiger wiggled out of his brother’s arms when he saw the white car coming up the road and parking in front of their apartment. He wildly knocked his hand against the window when the driver door opened and Hope stepped out. She looked up towards the window and happily waved back at Jimin.

“Okay, guys.” Like always, Jin came out of his room when he hear Jimin’s yells, gathering all boys together in the middle of the living room. “I want you to behave today. We want to help Namjoon and Hope, which means that we are going to show our best and loveliest sides to make him feel comfortable and welcome in our home.”

Jimin nodded his head excitingly. He was determined to bring back Namjoon’s trust in human or at least, this one human from that he knew would make the wolf’s life better. Living with Hope had brought back a meaning in his own life and seeing her giving all he passion for other Hybrids made him wanting to support her however he could.

The 5 boys gave each other a last, big group hug, before the front door was already opening.

“Hey, boys.” The girl’s familiar scent filled the apartment, along with her big smile and sparkling eyes hen she entered the apartment.

“Hope!” Jungkook was the first one to storm forward and embrace her with his much taller body.

One by one, each boy was hugging the smaller girl, welcoming her home and almost forgetting about the special guest who she had brought home. While Tae and Hobi were still busy with the girl, Jimin was the first one to notice Namjoon in the doorway.

Shyly but curious, Jimin smiled at the tall wolf standing there, waving his hand at him to make him feel welcome. Namjoon just watched the tiger’s hand moving through the air, before he wrapped his grey, fluffy tail around his left leg, eyes already moving between them many different people around the room.

“Guys, I want you to meet Namjoon. He will be staying with us for tonight.” Hope had wriggled out of Hobi warm welcome hug and was now standing beside the tall boy again, introducing the Hybrids proudly with each other. “Namjoon, those are my boys I told you about. This is Jin, he is the oldest among us, but he can also be really childish sometimes. This is Jungkook, he is the youngest and the first one who lived here with me. This is Hobi, he is our newest addition and always smiling. Here we have Taehyung, he is not as grumpy as he sometimes looks. He is a real softie. Last but not least, this is Jimin. I think he was the most excited to have you staying here for the night.”

One by one, Hope introduced the boys with Namjoon, who politely bowed his head at every boy. Jimin immediately was amazed by the tall boy’s appearance. He didn’t look like someone he would mess with, with his large hands and his broad shoulders. On the top of his fluffy brown hair were two, grey ears twitching around in all directions, while his deep brown eyes were studying each boy’s features.

This moment made Jimin especially sad. Like the rest of the boys, Namjoon looked like a normal boy who was just looking for a place to fit in. Jimin whished that he could just meet the wolf Hybrid as a new friend and addition to their unusual family, not as a judge case.

It was just when Hope closed the front door that Jimin noticed something odd around Namjoon’s ankle. It was a small, black box that was blinking every few seconds.

“What is this thing?” The white tiger innocently asked, pointing his finger down.

“It’s a tracking device, Jimin.” Hope replied, as she place Namjoon’s black bag on the dining table. “It’s just a safety for my boss to know that Namjoon is still with us. Unfortunately, we can’t take it off. I am sorry Namjoon.”

The wolf just shrugged his shoulders, eyes shifting back to the ground and ears hanging low. Jimin felt incredibly sorry for that tall guy. When him and Tae were younger, they had often worn leashes, tags or ankle cuffs. He knew what impact such a small piece of metal could have on someone’s soul.

“How about I quickly go out and buy something to eat for us later, and you guys show Namjoon the apartment and his room so he can settle in?” Hope happily clapped her hands together, looking between Namjoon the other boys.

Jimin quickly nodded. The first time Hope had let them alone, he had been scared to break something or to so something wrong but by now, this fear had been gone. It always made his feel proud and independent that Hope trusted them to stay alone in the apartment, even though for only a few hours.

“My – my room?” Namjoon’s eyes went wide, as he looked at the smaller girl next to him.

“Yes.” She simply smiled at him, taking her backpack and swinging it over her shoulder. “Hobi is so nice and leaves his bed for you, so you will have a room to yourself. He will be sleeping with me in my bed tonight, right?”

Since she was standing the closest to Hobi, she lovely drove her hand over his dark hair, while the fox nodded happily. He had willingly suggested to leave his room for the wolf Hybrid so he could get some privacy.

“You don’t need to leave your bed.” Namjoon looked directly at Hobi. “I can sleep on the ground or something.”

“No way you are sleeping on the floor.” Hope laughed. “We have enough space that everyone can have a bed, so everyone will sleep in a bed.”

Namjoon was about to open his mouth again, but Hope was quicker. She shushed him before he could start talking again and went from boy to boy to say goodbye. When she reached Jimin, the boy shut his arms tightly around her slim shoulders, pulling her closer until his nose touched her the ski of her neck.

“You will come back, right?” The white tiger whispered into her ear, making the girl giggle.

“Of course, Jiminie.” She whispered back. “I will always come back to you. Be nice to each other.”

She stood on her tiptoes to give him a short kiss to the tip of his lips, before she grabbed her keys and waved one last time, leaving the room in silence.

Everything was crashing down on Namjoon all at once. Never in his live had he thought about the chance to see he outer world again, but here he was, standing in the middle of his lawyer’s living room.

Three days ago, when Hope had told him that she wanted him to stay with her and her Hybrids for one night, he had thought that she was joking with him. But then, she had started moving hell and heaven until she finally had been allowed to take him away for one night.

However, he still hadn’t figured out why she would take him in so sudden. Maybe she felt pity for him and his pathetic life, or maybe she wanted to show him what a life he could have had, if only he had not been so stupid to attack any human.

It would be a lie to say that he had not been thinking about running away once the chance would be there but unfortunately, they had strapped a location tracker onto his leg this morning, making it impossible for him to either remove it, or hide somewhere. For the split of a second, he even had thought about Hope and the consequence she would get if he was able to escape.

Somehow, a feeling of disappointment rose inside him. Would he really consider to abuse the trust of the only person that made him feel like he was worthing something in this world. After all, Hope had been nothing but nice to him. It would be wrong to betray her and her Hybrids like that. This was not what he wanted to end up like.

The first prominent thing that had hit him was that amount of different scents that were waving through the air when Hope and him had entered the apartment. With his sensitive nose, he had already smelled those scents the first time he had met Hope, but never had they been so clear and intensive.

Somehow, it made him calm down, knowing that there were 5 other Hybrids around. Especially when their scents were mixed with each other all over their clothes and furniture, telling him that they were not only close with each other but also with the small girl.

In addition, there was this warm and welcoming feeling that immediately had surrounded him when he had entered. There were no cold, white walls or furniture. Everything, the floor, the sofa, the kitchen – it looked so inviting to him. Not to talk about the boys’ rooms that all looked individual but still like home. Namjoon could never imagined what it must feel like to wake up in such a surrounding every day.

“Do you like the apartment, Namjoon?” Jimin had taken the taller boy’s hand and was now looking up to him with wide eyes, waiting excitingly for his answer.

The small tiger had definitely walked his way straight into Namjoon’s heart. From the first moment the smaller boy had waved to him until he had taken the wolf’s hand to guid him through the apartment, Jimin had taken all the nervosity off Namjoon’s shoulder, making him feel wanted and welcome.

“I – ehm – I like it very much.” The taller boy said shyly, before a slight shade of red spread over his cheeks. “But are you sure I should have a room all to myself? I mean, I would be okay with sleeping on the floor if – “

“This is not necessary.” Jin took his hands away from Jungkook’s shoulders and took a step forward. “None of us had to sleep on the floor when Hope took us in. So, there is no chance that we let you sleep on the floor.”

Namjoon didn’t quite know what to response. He definitely was not used to people being this nice to him. Even the other Hybrids in the living complex of the company were intimidated by him, leaving him all by himself at the dining table or in the library.

“Do you wanna sit down and talk until Hope is back?” The oldest boy asked, as he pointed his fingers towards the big sofa in the living room. “The sofa is really comfortable.”

As soon as the words had left Jin’s mouth, the three younger boys made a fast sprint forwards, before they jumped one after one onto the sofa, landing on each other, laughing together and messing around.

For the split of a second, the corners of Namjoon’s mouth rose. It was nice to see how familiar and comfortable those different kinds of Hybrids were getting along with each other. For as long as he could remember, he had probably never seen a Hybrid being so happy like they were.

“Come on, Namjoon.” The tall boy hadn’t even noticed that he had gotten lost in his thoughts, before Hobi call his name. The Fox had followed the younger boys and was now petting the empty spot next to him. “You can sit down next to me.”

Carefully, Namjoon made his way over to the sofa. He didn’t want to impose. After all, they had already offered him a whole room to himself, so he tried to make himself as small as possible at the end of the soft sofa.

“Did you imagine Hope’s home like that?” Taehyung had wrapped his arms around Jungkook’s torso and was now looking with wide eyes at the older boy.

“No, I definitely had a different imagine in mind.” Namjoon admitted, making Hobi next to him giggle. “When she told me that she would be living with 5 other people, I though her apartment must be giant. But – but I was surprised in a positive way when we arrived. It looks so cosy and warm here. You guys are pretty lucky to have a home like this.”

It was the truth. Namjoon was amazed by everything in this apartment. Especially the small but prominent highlights that were placed in all rooms when they had the apartment tour. Whether it was the small make up table in Hope’s room that had been looking so organized, or those many sticky notes on the fridge that held those sweet words for the boys when Hope would leave for work in the mornings, or all those pictures of the boys on the small table under the TV.

“Yes, we are really lucky.” Jungkook smiled slightly. “Hope took all of us in without taking anything in return. She even tries to make things like going to the grocery store or going to the park possible for us, so we don’t have to stay in the apartment all day long.”

“You have been in a grocery store?” Namjoon asked with wide eyes. “Like inside in – without being kicked out?”

Namjoon had never seen a grocery store from the inside. In the past, he had always collected the left overs from people that had gone hiking in the forest.

“Yes, we have.” Jin was now chuckling at the Wolf’s confusedness. “I am with her most of the times, because I am cooking for us most of the times. We are hiding my tail in the leg of my trousers and my ears are then hidden by a beanie. No one ever came up to us and kicked us out.”

The wolf Hybrid was amazed by that simple but effective solution. Why had he never thought about hiding his tail and ears?

“So, Hope r – really is like this in private?” Namjoon carefully asked, almost not daring to look up. “I mean, this nice and helpful?”

Immediately, all the boys around Namjoon were agreeing to that question. They told him stories of what Hope had done for all of them in the past and of how they actually had met. Ever telling and ever story was completing the picture of that small girl more and more, fitting perfectly to the appearance she had had in the company.

The six boys spent hours after hours like that, sitting on the sofa and talking about everything that came into their minds. It was nothing unusual for the five Hybrids that were living here but for Namjoon, it was something he had not been doing for the past couple of years. He enjoyed that normal conversations about simple things. No questions, no pressure.

If only this could also be his life.

Before he had the chance to think about what his life could have looked, he hear the clicking of the front door.

“Hey, boys.” Hope happily greeted them, carrying 4 large boxes in her arms. “I hope you are hungry. I bought pizza for us.”

She walked to the table and placed the pizza boxes there, before she went over to the sofa and greeted every boy with a small kiss. The boys stood up from the couch and walked towards the dining table, leaving the confused wolf back.

“You can join us, you know?” The deep voice of Taehyung made Namjoon look up at the younger boy’s outstretched hand. “We have more than enough space for 7 people.”

Without realizing, Namjoon enjoyed every moment of this evening, and with every second he spent with those people, he gained more and more trust into them – especially in the girl. So when night had arrived, and he was laying in his bed, he had made his decision.

Hope watched amused how Hobi sat at the small make up table of her room, wiping his face with the white fabric, before tossing it away.

The fox had watched carefully how she had removed her make up a few minutes ago. She had tried to tell him that it was not necessary for him to us a cloth for his face since he was not wearing any make up, but he had literally begged her to let him try.

“Are you content with the result, Hobi?” She smiled at him through the mirror, as he watched himself closely.

His face held a stern impression, as he moved it from side to side, driving his fingers over his skin, before a large smile built on his lips.

“Yes, I am.” He happily turned around and waddled over to the bed where the girl was already waiting for him.

He wrapped himself up in the fluffy blanket and rolled over so he could face Hope on the other side of the bed.

“Are you comfortable?” Hope lifted her hand up towards his head and started scratching over the base of Hobi’s ear, making him purr and nod as he closed his eyes. “Did you enjoy the evening with Namjoon?”

When she had said goodnight to the other boys, she had already been bombarded with the excited stories.

“I enjoyed the evening very much.” Hobi mumbled sleepily, before he rubbed his eyes and looked up at the girl. “He is nice. I really hope that you can help him.”

“Me too.” The girl whispered back.

She had absolutely no clue whether it had been a good idea to bring the wolf here, or whether it had made everything worse, but when she had gone and said goodnight to him, it was the first time she had actually seen him smile. Not just a forced smile he had often given her in the past but a real, content smile.

The court date was getting closer and closer with only 3 days left. If she wanted to help him, he would need to open up to her now, or else, there was nothing she could do for him.

As she glanced over to Hobi, she found him curled up in the blanket with a slight smile on his face, while his ears and hair was spread over the cushion. Carefully, she drover her hand over the soft curls one last time, before she gave him a kiss on the top of his head and turned off the lights, praying that everything would turn out alright for Namjoon.

I am so glad to finally add Namjoon fully to the story. I just love him so much.

Like always, I can only recommend you to check out @starlightauroras-main story Inferiority Complex. It’s super cute and exciting to read. But recently, I found another Hybrid!reader story from @secretbangtnn. I definitely will stay excited for Until I bleed out! I hope so will you!

By the way, did you stream Butter? I have to admit that I was shocked when I saw JK‘s eyebrow piercing 😂 How did you like the song? Me personally, I love it. I also love to watch the behind the scenes videos. The boys put so much passion and effort in everything they do, it’s just amazing.

Stay healthy and safe!

[chapter 17 ||| chapter 19]

Today had been an eventful day. Hope had finally been able to get Jimin’s and Taehyung’s adoption papers, so both of them could live with her officially. In that occasion, thy all had gathered together at the kitchen table in the evening, each boy with a glass of orange juice and Hope with a glass of sparkling wine.

“Okay, guys. I wanna say something.” Hope announced, as she stood up from her chair. “As you know, today we officially welcome Taehyung and Jimin in our family and I want to use this occasion to say a few words. You guys turned my life upside down ever since I met you, but I never regretted anything. I want to thank you, Jin and Jungkook, that you trusted me enough to stay and that you gave Taehyung and Jimin a chance to live here even though it was hard for you. I also want to thank Jimin and Taehyung for giving us the chance to show you that we are good people. And of course Hobi, thank you for always being so positive and funny. I – I really do love you guys.”

Jungkook was the first one who was standing up from his chair and walked towards the girl. He wrapped his arms around her smaller body, before he pressed a short kiss onto her lips. Time has already passed since their first kiss in the park and by now, it was no longer a big deal for them to share some small kisses in front of the others from time to time.

The small shade of red on her cheeks increased when Jimin was the next one to hug her tightly, before he pressed a longer kiss onto her cheek. The white tiger was still more carefully when it came to kissing in front of the others, but Hope didn’t mind at all. She gave him a small kiss back and let go of him.

Jin also came to give her a hug. The older boy was still hesitating to kiss her but instead, he wrapped his long tail tightly around both of their bodies.

“Ehm.” Hope pulled away from the leopard when Taehyung cleared his throat. “I also want to say something.”

Jin rubbed his head one last time over the girl’s neck, before he walked back towards his chair. All 5 people were now expectingly at the black tiger, who had stood up from his chair. The room fell silence for a few seconds, while he was looking for the right words to start.

“I – I don’t really know how to start.” He admitted, scratching his neck with his left hand. “I – I want to apologize to all of you. I gave all of you a hard time, even though you all were nothing but nice to me and my brother. Jungkook and Jin, I thank you for letting us stay with you even though I have not always been nice to you, and Jimin, I am sorry that I made you choose between me and the others. You were just trying to make new friends and be nice, but I gave you feelings of guilty all the times for doing so. I am sorry for that.”

Before Taehyung even had the chance to finish properly, Jimin had already stood up threw himself into his brother’s arms. Hope knew what hard times Jimin had went through. She had found him crying a few times, desperate and helpless because he had not known what to do anymore.

The girl watched as Jungkook stood up and walked over to the two tigers, before he wrapped his arms around the smaller one. He his nose against the white tiger’s fluffy hair and whispered something into it.

It had not been unnoticed by Hope how close all the boys were, despite all the troubles they had at first. Especially Jimin, who had wrapped everyone around his fingers with his sweet personality.

Hope loved to watched the three younger ones joking around together and with each other. She loved to watch Jin and Jimin cooking together in the evenings, and she loved to watch them interacting with Hobi as if they had known him for years.

“Hope.” The girl gasped when she felt Jin wrapping his arms around her from behind, before he placed his chin into her right shoulder. “You were snoozing out again.”

A shiver an down the girl’s spine when she felt the boy’s breath tickling her ear. She knew that by now, it was impossible to hide her redden cheeks every time one of the boys was hugging or kissing her. Even if you could, they would probably hear her heart beat with their extra senses. Hope sometimes had the feeling that they were enjoying those moments where she was struggling to hide her emotions.

Like a few days ago, when she had been sitting on the sofa, watching TV like usually. Hope had been laying between Taehyung’s legs with her back against his chest and her head laying on his shoulder. The black tiger had his tail wrapped around the both of them and his arms on her waist, before he had begun to rub his head against the sensitive skin of Hope’s neck after a while.

It had not felt uncomfortable at all. All the others boys had scented her before, so she was kind of used to it, but Taehyung also loved to tease. After some time, he had begun to bump not only his cheek but also his nose and lips against her skin. If that had not been enough, he had even let his teeth nibbing at her ear from time to time which had make the girl gasp sometimes. Taehyung had only chuckled, and also some of the other boys had seemed to enjoy that scene.

She sometimes wished that her body would not be some obvious, but deep down inside, those feelings were some of the most beautiful she had ever felt, and sometimes it made her wonder, if that was how love was supposed to feel like?

Namjoon laid wide awake in his bed this night. It was one of those days his mind keep racing and racing with thoughts, letting him no chance to find some sleep. A glance at the clock showed his that it was close to midnight, making him groan in frustration.

His room was only enlighten by the small lamp on his nightstand, and when he had looked over towards the clock, his eyes had also fell onto the small, square shaped object laying peacefully on the small desk. That girl – Hope – or rather her Hybrid had given him the small book.

Hope. A feeling he had not been feeling in a very long time. Since he could remember, he had been on his own out there, and at first, he didn’t mind at all. In his mind, there were several smaller pieces of memories when he was a child. Like all Hybrids, he had been bred and living in a laboratory a little bit outside if Seoul.

Being locked in a small cell, he had early been taught that in this world no one was truly caring for each other. Those scientist had only got him out when they had needed to make some new experiences with him. During those times, when Namjoon had felt nothing but pain and betraying, he had started distracting himself by taking in every small piece of information he could pick up and focus on that.

He had often read over those giant posters on the wall, showing off different anatomies of different kind of living beings. Quickly, he had figured out how a huma’s and Hybrid’s body was working, where every single bone was placed or where the different veins were running along. Somehow, he even had caught a glimpse on some Hybrid’s files that had been laying around on the desk that had been telling him for which purpose he had been there.

At first, it had hurt him that he only was a testing object for human to find out how sensitive his instincts were working during different circumstances, but then, that ever had been the only truth in his life. One day, he had accidentally overheard a conversation of two scientists talking about how the testing series would be stop soon and they would needed to get rid of all the participating Hybrids.

He had not known what that meant, but a few days later, he had been dragged out of his cell and brought to a large airplane. Those people had told him that they would fly to America to take place at an auction, but it had only been a large lie. They locket him up and drove into a small forest near the airport, and when night had been come, they had thrown him out of the car like he was just a pile of garbage, before driving away.

Still locket in the cage, the small and confused wolf had waited desperately, hoping that someone would come and pick him up from that cold place, but it had never happened. In the moment he had realized his situation, he had promised himself to never trust anyone again in this world. Luckily for him, he was smart and had been teaching himself enough to survive all by himself in the forest.

For several years, he had been able to hide until one day, he had been too careless while hunting. A hunter had spotted him and immediately had called the police to lock him up again.

Namjoon closed his eyes tightly when the memory of him being teased to the ground by a police officer. He had never meant to hurt anyone, but in that situation, he had not known what to do anymore. The emotions where running wild inside the now older wolf. It took him everything to keep himself under control right now and to not let the emotions take over his body.

Of course he was not stupid. He knew that after that incident there would be no chance for him to win his upcoming court date. Hybrids were absolutely not worthing anything to those creatures calling themselves human. They won’t ever let him win. They would lock him up again or even worse, they would put him to sleep for being dangerous. It was hopeless.

Hope. There was that name again. Laura had brought that small, blond haired girl up a few days ago. Another face that he had met, and another face that would be gone withing the following days. He knew it. He had seen it.

Laura had often brought some people with her in the past. Lawyers, psychologists, judges…but none of them had got him to talk. They all had given up on him without even trying, so why trusting that new girl now? He tried to convince himself that she was like anyone else, but something – a small little voice inside his head – was telling him that something about her was special.

Was it the tone of her voice that had caught his attention from the first moment she had been talking or rather the words she had been using? Or maybe her round, brown eyes that looked so innocent and trustworthy? Or the fact that she already had adopted 5 Hybrids that seemed to have a good life with her? Namjoon couldn’t tell at all.

Suddenly, he wondered how the small girl’s home must look like. Living with 5 other people, she must had a big apartment or even a house. But maybe all of her Hybrids had to live in one room or even in cadges. A shiver ran down his spine while thinking about this. She had not sounded like she would be cruel to them, but then, she was human. No one could tell what was really going on in her head.

He closed his eyes and thought about the past days instead and like the past minutes, his mind was occupied with thinking about that new girl. Somehow, Hope had convinced Laura to let him go outside for the first time in weeks. His heart had been beating so fast when he had felt the sun beams filling up his skin with warmth and energy. The white, clean room he had to spend his days in had been making him sick over the last weeks.

Hope had been with him all the times. She had not been talking much, but despite their lack of conversation it had never felt uncomfortable. In fact, Namjoon enjoyed those moments with, because it was the only time of the day he could escape his clean, white prison without anyone bombarding him with questions or even treatments.

He didn’t want to recognize it, but deep down inside he somehow had the feeling that his life was about to take a big turn. It was a feeling deep inside his guts that were suddenly telling him so. Whether it would turn out for good or bad he couldn’t tell yet.

Days after days went by since Hope had started working, and slowly, her boys and her had developed some kind of a routine to pass the day. But even thought her life had become a little bit harder and more stressful Hope had always made sure to not loose any time with her roommates. She would often try new recipes with Jin, or she would listen to different music with Jimin while talking about random things that came into their minds.

Even the relationship to Taehyung had become closer and closer. He now was like a peaceful house cat, always wanting to cuddle with someone which she thought was adorable. He was a good boy with good intentions, just like Hobi. The Fox had completely warmed up to all the boys and her by now, and he even had found his passion for dancing and music just like Jimin and Jungkook.

Speaking about the Bunny, Jungkook had been behaving all mystery again over the past days. Gladly not in a bad way, but he had often been in his room lately, stating that he had something important to do. He even refused to play video games with Tae a few times which was indeed pretty strange for him, because he usually would never miss a the chance to win against the black tiger.

When Hope had asked the boys about his latest behaviour, they all had just smiled, telling her that she would need to wait for the Bunny to show her himself.

“Movie night!” Hobi playfully yelled, as he let himself fall down onto the big mattress in the middle of the living room where Jungkook, Jimin and Tae were already waiting.

Since Hope was working eight hours a day, they all had agreed that one night of the week would be their joined movie night. On that occasion, they had placed a large mattress in front of the TV and had thrown all cushions they had found in the apartment onto that mattress.

The younger boys had already chooses the movie when Jin and Hope plopped onto the mattress with a large bowl of popcorn in their hands. As soon as the girl’s bum hit the soft fabric, the bowl suddenly was taken out of her hands by Jimin, and two strong arms were placing themselves around her upper body from behind.

Tae had pulled the smaller girl closer towards himself, before he nuzzled his nose into the sensitive skin of her neck, causing her to yelp slightly.

“Tae – “ She giggles when his hot breath tickled her skin.

Of course, the black Tiger didn’t stop. He just kept pulling her closer until it was almost impossible for her to escape his grip but not in an uncomfortable way. Hope always enjoed those gestures of physical affection that made her feel loved and home. Happily, Hope leant back against Tae’s chest, making him nuzzling his nose closer into her neck, spreading his scent over skin.

They stayed in that position for a little while longer, enjoying the movie that was playing on the big TV screen when suddenly Jimin started moving from the other side of the mattress. He pushed himself away from Jin’s arm and started crawling over the other boys towards his brother and the girl. Hope was just about to open her arms for the smaller tiger to cuddle up to her, but from one to the other second Taehyung suddenly shot up from his laying position. He pulled himself and the girl up, pulling his arms closer around her body and away from his brother, flashing him his sharp fangs and growling loudly.

Jimin on the other hand had jumped away with an enormous speed, before his ears shot up hight in the ear and his fangs showing up behind his lips as well.

“Taehyung!” Hope squealed in shock, as she watched Tae’s sharp fangs from the corner of her eyes, trying to break free from his strong grip. “What are you doing. Jimin, stop! Stop growling at each other!”

Slowly, she felt the arms that were squeezing her loosing up around her torso. Quickly, Hope turned around to look at Taehyung in shock. The black tiger had stopped growling and was now looking up at the girl again with innocent eyes. When she looked around her shoulder at Jimin, she saw him also looking around with big eyes again.

“I am sorry.” The younger tiger whispered, as he reached his arms out and pulled Hope into his embrace again, making her wrap her arms around his shoulders. Though she was not scared of Taehyung, having seen his sharp teeth reminded her of how powerful those boys were compared to her after all. “I – I didn’t mean to scare you. It was a primary instinct, I couldn’t control it. You just smelled so good…like me – I – Jimin – I am sorry.”

He gave one last kiss towards the girl’s forehead, before he carefully pushed her off of his lap and crawled over towards his brother, who was still pouting with his arms crossed above his chest. Hope watched in amusement, how Jimin tried to not gave in to his brother’s apologize, but when Taehyung pulled him into a tight hug and whispered something into his ear, Jimin quickly forgave him.

“That was scary.” Hope joked, as she placed her head on Jin’s chest, not wanting to interrupt the two tigers.

Jin just hummed in response, before he pushed his nose into the girl’s hair, while his younger brother laid his head into Hope’s lap.

“You sometimes make it difficult to share you between us, Hope.” The oldest boy suddenly mumbled into her hair. “Especially, when your body smells so pure. It’s literally calling for us to spread our scent over you.”

His words caused a heavy shade of red over Hope’s cheeks. She knew that the boys could always smell her scent, but she didn’t know that they really adored her scent that much.

“P – Pure?” She eventually stuttered.

“Hmmm.” Jungkook purred, as the girl’s hand drove over the base of his sensitive ears. “There is no other scent over you beside your own, because you never had a boyfriend before.”

“Y – You guys can smell that?” The girl’s voice was now holding a tone of confusedness and embarrassment, making Jungkook and Jin chuckle.

“When you are close to someone for a very long time, that person’s scent will cover your own scent, signalling for others that you are taken.” The youngest one continued. “Your scent isn’t covered by another one. Well, beside one of our scents since we are spending a lot of time together.”

Our of instinct, Hope wanted to lift the collar of her shirt to prove whether Jungkook was telling the truth or not. But to her disappointment, her nose was far from smelling a foreign scent on her body.

“Do I smell like all of you?” She innocently asked, before sinking her shirt that she was still holding in her hands.

“Depends on who you had physical contact with.” This time, it was Tae who spoke. “Right now, Jin’s scent would cover mine. The only way to have all our scents cover you would be to – well – mate with us.”

When he finished the sentence, he winked his eyebrows up two time, making the girl blush even more. Of course, she knew what he meant. Jimin had told her about mating and marking once they had talked.

Not wanting to extend that conversation, she turned her still blushing face away from the smirking black tiger and leant her head against Jin shoulder, who was also holding a small smirk on his lips.

Of course, she wasn’t stupid. She had noticed the way the boys had been talking and acting around her, noticed how they would use any chance to hug her tightly and rub their face against her neck, making her blush every time. Sometimes, she wondered, if this was how finding one’s mate was supposed to feel like. Especially, when she remembered the kisses she had already shared with Jimin and Jungkook and that made her heart race always again.

A movement in the corner of her eyes ripped her out of her thoughts. She blinked a few times, before she turner her head, watching Hobi shifting closer towards the trio. He fiddles with his finger for a few seconds, before he looked up at the girl with his deep brown eyes.

“Are you actually making any progress with that wolf in your company?” He shyly asked, laying his fluffy tail onto Jungkook’s upper body.

Hope sighed heavily. She would love to tell him that the were making big steps forward, but she couldn’t. Namjoon was still as closed as the first day they had met. The both of them would meet up almost every day, leaving the clean, white interrogation room and taking a long walk through the small park area. Every time in silence.

Normally, Hope would give him all time to open up all by himself, but unfortunately, his court day was getting closer and closer. Almost three weeks had past since she had met the tall boy, leaving only one week before she would defend him in front of the judge.

“To be honest, we are not making much progress.” She sadly said, sinking her gaze onto Jungkook’s floppy ears in her lap. “I mean, he seems to be much more comfortable around me by now, but his court day is coming up in only one week, and I still have nothing to defend him. I wish he would just open up to me.”

By now, all 5 boys were looking at the girl with sad eyes and hanging ears, while Hope was still crawling Jungkook’s fluffy hair, deeply absorbed in her thoughts again. She wanted to help Namjoon so badly. She tried to give him time and room, she tried to tell him stories about her childhood, hoping that he would tell her something about him too, but it had failed every time.

“What happens if he won’t talk to you.” Jimin whispered from the other side of the matrass.

“If he won’t tell me what exactly happened, I can’t proof that he is innocent.” She replied after a few seconds of silence. “I can’t proof that it wasn’t his fault he reacted this way, and then he is guilty. They will either lock him away forever, or if the judge thinks that he is too dangerous, they will – they will put him to – to s –“

She couldn’t finish her sentence and she didn’t need to. The boys knew what she wanted to say. When Hope had calmed down after a few minutes, she started talking again.

“But don’t worry.” She reached out her left hand to Hobi and her right hand to Jimin, squeezing their larger hands. “I won’t let this happen, okay? I will get him out there. Somehow.”

The room fell silence for another time this evening. The boys all knew what the wolf Hybrid was going though, because they all had went through the same. They also knew that Hope was serious when she said that she would do anything to help Namjoon, they really knew. But the were powerless. There was nothing they could do to help Hope or Namjoon.

“What if you would bring him here for once.” Jin suddenly suggested, making everyone’s head shot around.

“What?” Hope asked a little bit confused, pushing herself off his chest to look properly at the oldest boy.

“Well, he clearly lost his trust in human.” The Leopards continued. “But maybe he would talk to you, once he saw that there are still people who are fighting seriously for him.”

“He is right.” Hobi’s ears shot up highly, eyes sparkling with excitement. “We could show him how we are living here and that he can trust you.”

“We could show him our rooms – “

“ – and we could make him something delicious to eat – “

“ – or we listen to some music with him together – “

The boys were talking all at once now, bringing up all kinds of ideas to convince Namjoon to cooperate. It made the girl speechless and proud when she saw how eager the boys were to help the wolf Hybrid.

“You guys would really do that for him?”

Until I bleed out | BTS

↬summary : Hybrids always were discriminated against, the laws passing over years changed nothing, collars still needed to be seen on those innocent necks like some kind of label. Cruelty was something the hybrids faced on daily basis, sex trafficing or illegal fighting it still felt as if those humans treated everything like pets. Situation you however found yourself in, was kind of different - not worse not better but still so bad you did not know if the next day would be yours, and when the winter started coming with big steps it was only a matter of time when the freezing cold would eat you alive. Unless one silent night a little too loud striped tiger decides to break your calm nap with a clumsy package of long limbs after him who just could not leave your tired and scared self alone...

[chapter 16 ||| chapter 18]

Hobi watched in amazement how the girl’s hand was sliding over the piece of fabric back and forth, turning it upside down and back up, before laying it on the table and smoothing it.

“Look.” She said proudly, as she held up the once ripped shirt. “It’s like nothing has happened.”

Despite all the advantaged that came with being a Hybrid, like having extra sensitive senses, there were also more than enough disadvantages too. Especially, when he had never had such expensive clothes to know how to handle them the right way. He had tried to find the right way out for his arms and head but ended up with his head and arm in one hole, which obviously had been too much for the fabric.

At first, he had been scared to tell someone about this accident. Not just because he had felt embarrassed, but also because he had been scared to upset someone to whom the clothes belonged. Sadly, he was like an open book to read for everyone, so Jin had noticed pretty fast that something had been odd with the fox Hybrid. When Hobi had finally told him what happened, Jin began to laugh warmly, telling him that no one would be mad at him.

When Hope had come home from her work, Hobi had bundled up all his courage to tell her all by himself, hoping that she would react in the same way as Jin. Indeed, she had smirked a little bit when he had told her the story, but she quickly had offered him her help to fix the shirt. His old owner would have never reacted in such a kind way.

When he was younger, the man who owned the circus had bought him from the people who had bred him in their laboratories. He brought the small fox boy all the way over to America, just to lock him up in a cage there. But Hobi had never complained though. After all, the man had offered him a place to sleep and something to eat every day.

But of course, he had also been a curious child back then¸ wanting to explore his surroundings and borders. That had often brought him in troubles, leaving him more often locked up in his cage than he had planned. At some point, he had learnt that it was only him who brought himself in such position and from that day on, he had just kept following the rules like he was supposed to do.

Hope meanwhile had put a small, wooden box on the table that was filled with all kinds of needles, threads and other supplies one could need for sewing. He had not even needed to wait long, because as soon as the girl had been sitting, she had already been fixing the small rip in the shirt.

While she had been worked concentrated on the blue piece of fabric, Hobi had grabbed himself a small piece of fabric out of the box as well, trying to copy her movements. Obviously, he was not as talented as her.

“Wow.” He stunned, as he laid his own piece of work down and reached out for the shirt. “I can’t even see where the rip was. Where did you lean this, Hope?”

The girl smirked slightly, while she cleaned the table.

“I was a pretty wild child.” She told him, reaching up to put the sewing box up onto the shelf on the wall. “I always came home with a lack in my trousers. At some point, my mother was tired to fix all my clothes, so she taught me to fix them myself.”

Hobi head the sadness in her voice when she talked about her mom. Beside the picture of her on Jungkook’s favourite wall, Hobi had never seen Hope’s mother in person, so he guessed that she probably was missing her much.

“Your mom was a pretty good teacher then.” He smiled widely at the girl. “Maybe she could visit us some day, so you can show her how well you fixed my shirt.”

If it was possible, the girl’s expression dropped even more, while she clutched her hands onto the mug in front of her. Hobi immediately regretted what he just had said.

“I don’ think that she will be visiting us some day.” She said, as she sadly smiled at the confused boy. “My mom died a few years ago, you know?”

Hobi sunk his ears low when he heard her words. He had never had a mom or a dad, but he could imagine the pain the small girl was feeling right now.

“I am sorry.” He just whispered, not wanting to say anything else to make her sad.

“It’s okay.” Hobi watched, as the girl’s mouth suddenly pulled up. “You know, I like thinking about her. She was a wonderful and strong woman. When I was younger, I always wanted to be like her. She was kind and courteous to everyone, even to Hybrids. She taught me to respect every living, because all of them have a soul and feelings. I am sure she would have loved to meet you guys.”

Hobi could clearly imagine the woman Hope was describing him, because it fit perfectly on the description of Hope. He was glad that her mom had taught Hope all those things, because only she was the reason, he now had a safe place to stay.

“I would have loved to meet your mom. She sounds like a wonderful person.” He carefully spoke, as he reached over and grabbed the girl’s hand that was loosely laying on the table.

It was the very first time that Hobi had made such a big step and actually touched the human girl. Her smaller hand felt so warm and soft, almost fitting perfectly into his bigger hand. It also felt different from when he was touching Jin’s or Jungkook’s hand. He had never felt those little sparkles when touching one of the boys, but he liked it though. Hope gladly accepted this small way of physical affections, squeezing his hand back.

“Diner was so delicious, Jin.” Hope smiled at the older boy, before she put her plate into the sink and kissed the boy’s forehead. “Thank you for that.”

Jin stayed in the kitchen to do the dishes, while Hope walked back into the living room where the other boys were already waiting for her. They all had bombarded her with questions since she had been home again, and now they were waiting for their answers.

“Hope!” Jungkook’s ears were standing up high in the air, as he petted the spot next to him on the sofa, gesturing for her to sit down there.

As soon as her bum met with the soft fabric, the bunny had already laid his head down in her lap, while from the other side, Taehyung was now leaning his head onto her shoulder.

For the next hour, they asked her questions over questions about everything that had happened at work. They asked her about all the Hybrids she had met, about the people she would be working with and about thousands of other things that sometimes made her smirk, because sometimes they were like little kids.

When she told them about the wolf Hybrid, Namjoon, the room suddenly felt silence. All of the boys sitting around her knew fully how that poor boy felt and what he was going through.

“He must be so scared.” Jimin said, wrapping his tail around himself, as Jungkook wrapped his arm around the smaller one’s shoulder. “I wish we could help him somehow.”

The bunny kept Jimin in his arms for a little while longer, before he suddenly jumped up and ran down the hallway towards his room. Hope looked confused at Jin, who was also just shrugging his shoulders. After a few seconds, the slamming of the bunny’s bedroom door rang through the apartment, and Jungkook came running back into the living room.

“Here.” He stopped in front of Hope and held out one of his favourite Hobbit books towards her. “You can give him my favourite book. Maybe he will like it, too.”

“But, Jungkook.” Hope gasped at that sweet gesture of Jungkook, before she stood up and took the book out of his hand. “You love that Hobbit book.”

“Yeah, I do.” The bunny scratched his neck, as his cheeks turned red. “But I – I read it so many times that I can’t count them anymore. I just think that he has absolutely nothing and maybe he will feel more comfortable if he would have something he likes.”

Hope was absolutely touched by Jungkook’s gesture. She knew how much he loved that book and how sad he had been when he had almost given it away a few months ago. She had always known that he had a very big heart when it comes to other people he cared for.

“I will give it to him. Thank you, Kookie.” She whispered, as she stood on her tippy toes and hugged the taller boy tightly, before pressing him a big kiss on his cheek.

“Okay, guys.” Jin announced, looking at his watch just to realized that it was already late at night. He yawned and stretched his arms, tail and ears out at the same time, which looked pretty funny. “I will go to bed. I am pretty tired. Goodnight.”

He went around and gave Taehyung and Jimin a linger hug, Jungkook and Hope a kiss and Hobi a lovely pet on his head, before he went into his room. Next were Taehyung and Jungkook who wanted to play a few more video games in the tiger’s room, and also Hobi stated that he would go to bed, leaving only Jimin and the girl back.

The white tigers sat shyly at the edge of the couch, with his tail wrapped around his legs and a slight shade of red on his cheeks. He looked up at the girl for a second, before he carefully moved closer towards her on the sofa. When he was close enough, he carefully put his head on her shoulder and laid his tail in her lap for the very first time.

“Do you think you can help that wolf in your company.” Jimin carefully asked her, as she begin to stroke his fluffy tail.

“I hope I can.” She whispered back, leaning her head onto his. “But he needs to trust me in the first place, and this needs a little more time, you know?”

Jimin just hummed at her answer.

“I think he is lucky to have you as his lawyer now.” He suddenly smiled. “I know you will safe him, just like you saved us.”

Hope closed her eyes for a moment, thinking back at the time where she first met Jimin and Taehyung. Both tigers had definitely brought some changes into that family, but in a good way of course. Suddenly, she remembered the conversation from earlier, when Namjoon had asked her about their adoption.

“Jimin.” She mumbled into his thick hair. “There is something I want to ask you. You know, Taehyung and you have been living here for a few weeks now, and I think the both of you fit in in our crazy home pretty well. If you would be okay with it, I would like to adopt you and your brother.”

Immediately, Jimin’s head shot up from her shoulder. He looked with wide eyes at the girl, before he nodded wildly and threw himself onto the her, hugging her tightly and whispering ‘thank you’ a thousand times. This sudden movement caused both of them to fall over and fully onto the couch. When both young adults realized in which position, they were now in, with the girl on her back and Jimin over her, they both turned bright red.

“I am – “

“Sorry.”

They both stuttered at the same time, before they broke out in a laugher together. Hope looked up into Jimin’s eyes when she had calmed down again. From the first day, Hope had adored those beautiful, dark orbs that would form into halfmoons when he was laughing or smiling. Slowly, she brought her left hand up towards his thick hair, driving it towards the back of his head and back towards his cheek.

Her heart was pounding in her chest like crazy, when Jimin’s face came closer and closer, until their noses were touching each other and their lips just inches apart. They stayed like that for another few seconds, before the boy was the first to make the move forward.

The kiss was shy but full of emotions. They lips stayed still on each other, before Hope carefully started to move. After a few seconds, Jimin also began to press his lips on her stronger and braver, before, after a few minutes, they both ran out of breath and let go of each other.

Hope didn’t know if it was possible that her face was even redder now, but before she had the chance to say something stupid that could ruin the moment, Jimin pushed himself off the sofa and pulled her with him.

She gasped slightly from the sudden movement but giggled at the same time when Jimin pulled her close towards his chest in the middle of the living room. She leant her head against the white tiger’s chest, while Jimin wrapped his arms and tail around the smaller girl. The pair was now standing in the middle of the living room, rocking slightly from side to side, doing some twists and turns from time to time.

“When did you learn to dance?” Hope whispered into the comfortable silence.

“I watched a video on the YouTube today.” He whispered back, rubbing his nose against her hair. “One day, I want to take you out on a dance date, you know?”

Surprised by the tiger’s words, Hope lifted her head and looked into Jimin’s eyes. Never in her life had someone wated to take her out on a date, and the fact that Jimin was asking her out in his cute, innocent way, let her heart swell with pride a love.

“I would love to go on a dance date with you, Jimin.”

“Okay, I don’t know what you did or how you did it but somehow, you got Namjoon to talk to you – willingly?” Laura was walking next towards the smaller girl down the hallways of the company. Hope just nodded proudly, clutching the book Jungkook had given her for Namjoon tightly under her arm. “And now you want to give him – a hobbit book?”

She looked confused at the book and then back up at Hope.

“Yes, Jungkook thought it would be a nice gesture to give him that.” Hope simply replied. “I think Namjoon just needs time. He will talk to us at some point.”

Laura hummed in response, before she cocked her eyebrows up and began to smirk slightly.

“Is Jungkook your boyfriend?” She teased the smaller girl.

Hope’s face immediately went red. Though both of them had already kissed, they never decided on what their relationship would change after that. There were also the other boys that Hope had takin inside her heart.

“I – no.” She just smiled, her face still red. “He is my – Hybrid – at home. We – “

“You have a Hybrid at home?” Laura suddenly stopped walking, before she grabbed Hope’s shoulder and turned her around so she could face the taller girl.

“I even have 5 Hybrids home.” Hope almost didn’t dare to say it out loud, not knowing how to interpretate Laura’s facial expression.

“You have 5 Hybrids home?!” Laura’s voice was now loudly bouncing through the hallways, before she began to smile widely. “Girl, you are crazy, but I love it! I think you will achieve great things in that world, Hope.”

Hearing those words from someone who already had much more experiences than her made Hope proud. She wanted people to see that there was no need to be a superhero or to be powerful to change something. Everyone who had the will can change something, everywhere and every time.

Together, both girls took the same way as the previous day until they reached the interrogation rooms. Laura told her that she would wait outside, not wanting to inhibit the progress Hope had achieved the previous day.

Taking a last deep breath, Hope carefully knocked at the door, before she pushed it open and entered the door towards the interrogation room. Like the previous day, Namjoon was standing at the window with his back turned towards the door. He didn’t turn around when she entered the room, but Hope could clearly see his ears twitching into her direction for the split of a second.

“Good morning, Namjoon.” She calmy said, before making her way around the table. “How are you feeling this morning.”

The boy didn’t reply though. He just kept looking outside the window. It was one of those beautiful winter mornings in New York. The sun was just rising behind the skyline of the big city, flowing the streets with it’s warm and golden sun beams. The small park that had been created between the big building of the company and the smaller building where the clients were living was shining with all kind of golden colours.

When she looked at the boy’s profile, she could clearly see that he was looking at that scenario outside as well. But in difference to her, he was not looking like would be amazed. He was yearning for seeing the world outside and not just through a window.

Suddenly, Hope remembered the small gift that Jungkook had asked her to give to Namjoon. She carefully pulled the book from under her arm and placed it on the window sill, before pushing it into Namjoon’s direction. The tall boy noticed her gesture and looked confused from the small book upwards to the girl.

“The boys at home wanted me to give you this.” She told him. “It’s Jungkook’s favourite book, but he said that you can have it. Maybe if you are bored you can try and read it. It’s pretty good.”

Namjoon was now looking with wide eyes at the girl in front of him, as he wrapped his tail tightly around his right leg.

“You told your Hybrids about me?” He cocked an eyebrow up.

“Yes, I told them about you.” Hope carefully replied, no sure if he was okay with it or not. “I mean – I just told them that I was working with you from now on, nothing more. We are a family, you know? We tell each other everything.”

The wolf Hybrid sunk his ear down, before he whispered a small ‘thank you’ and turned his attention back towards the morning sun, sighing slightly. The room fell back into silence, as both young adults were looking out of the window again.

Hope noticed that Namjoon was still trying to process everything that had happened since the previous day, but she would give him all the time he needed, even if that meant that they would both spend the whole day with just looking out of the window.

“I sometimes whish that I just could walk out of this room like you do.” He suddenly stated after a few minutes of silence. “But I can’t. I need to stay here and wait for the day they lock me away.”

Like the previous day, Namjoon’s voice sounded tired and powerless, without any hint of emotions.

“We could go outside – “ She said back, but Namjoon was already shaking his head.

“No.” He cut her off in her mid-sentence. “People don’t trust me. They would never let me walk around just like that and if, I need to wear those stupid hand cuffs and foot locks.”

Before his could voice get louder, Namjoon closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His hands were holding onto the window sill tightly, as if he was trying really hard to not burst out. Hope was shocked by all those bad emotions he obviously carried inside himself.

She didn’t want to make him feel like she would pity him. That was not what he needed right now. He needed to realize that there were people on this world who truly wanted to help him, and that one of those people was already standing in front of him. Hope excused herself, before she quickly walked towards the door and peeked her head outside, gesturing for Laura come closer.

“Did you make any progress?!” She whispered-screamed, as she excitingly stepped closer.

Hope took a glance back at the boy, who was still looking outside the window. Maybe he was not looking into their direction, but Hope saw that he had his right ear turned towards the door.

“You can talk normally, Laura. There is no need to whisper.” Hope said in a normally volume, leaving a red shade on Laura’s face. “I wanted to ask you something. Is there a chance that Namjoon and I can take a walk across the site without him wearing any cuffs?”

Laura looked at the smaller girl in shock, before she snapped out of her state, shaking her head carefully.

“I am sorry.” She said. “But he showed aggressive behaviour. I wish I could change that, but it is not in my hands.”

Hope sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. Namjoon would never open up while being locked in that small room.

“Can’t you call your boss, please?” She tried again. “It would be just for a little while.”

“Hope, I can’t just call him and – “

“Laura, please. I take the full responsibility.” The blonde girl was almost begging Laura by now.

The two girl kept staring at each other for another few seconds, before Laura gave in first and sighed heavily. She hesitantly took her phone out if her purse and dealt her boss’s number, giving Hope a playfully angry look, before she energetically discussed with him for a few minutes. Luckily for the blond haired girl, their boss was a nice man, so he allowed her and Namjoon to leave the building.

Of course, with his extra sensitive ear Namjoon had already heard what you had asked Laura. He hesitated at first, not moving when Hope held the door open for the both of them. His eyes flickered between the window and the open door, before he carefully made his way around the table, his tail still wrapped around his leg.

The walk through the company was silent, but Hope felt the tension falling from the taller boy’s shoulders, until they finally reached the door that lead them outside. The fresh air hit the girl’s face when she took the first step outside. Even though winter had already begun, the morning sun was warming the air up, making it comfortable to walk around.

When Hope turned her head to look at Namjoon, she saw him doing the same. He had closed his eyes, letting the sun warming his face up and taking deep breath of the clean air. Hope knew that it seemed like a simple thing to just take a walk outside, but she had learnt from all her boys that she had taken those simple things for granted for too long.

Nothing she had done or what she had ever possessed in her life was normal for all people around the world. Maybe she had been lucky so far, but also she needed to be thought that ever moment in life needed to be appreciated, because other people didn’t have the luck like she did.

That day, there were no other words spoken between Namjoon and the girl. Just the situation as its own was enough to make another development in their relationship towards each other. They were just able to enjoy the moment together. No pressure, no words, no worries.

No new chapter of 𝗦𝗲𝗵𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵𝘁 this week. I am so so sorry, but I really couldn’t find the time to write a new chapter. I want to do that properly and not under pressure. I hope you can understand.

My exams will be over next week, and then I definitely will be back with 𝗦𝗲𝗵𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵𝘁 💪🏼😌 Until then, I hope you like to read this cute oneshot. I had it saved on my computer but never uploaded it.

I also got a lot of messages recently that people would love to leave a message more often (not just under my chapters) but are too scared to make mistakes. English is also not my native language, and I am a 100% sure that I also make a lot of mistakes while writing. But believe me, no one cares if you do a grammar mistakes or if miss a letter. It’s so important to always be brave and speak/write a foreign language, even if that means to make mistakes. That’s the only way to improve your skills. Your message will always be heard as long as you are brave enough and express yourself 💜 it’s no shame to do mistakes.

Enjoy reading and stay healthy

Mꨄ

You watched as your husband, Namjoon, carefully slide his big hand over your baby bump, lifting his hand from time to time to push his half round glasses up the bridge of his nose , and resting them back onto you tummy. In his other hand, he was holding one of his favourite books, flickering the pages, while you were just checking your phone for new baby clothes.

You had never believed your friends how crazy you could get over some small baby clothes until you had become pregnant the first time. It was just so breath-taking to hold those tiny, little pieces of clothing in you much bigger hand, knowing that soon there would be a tiny human wearing them. But as excited as you were for your third baby to arrive, you also knew that from that moment your life would become even more stressful.

Just like the end of that stressful week that finally had ended for the both of you. Being pregnant with your third child sometimes made it hard for your body to give it’s full energy all day long, leaving you often exhausted and powerless. Especially, when there also were two other small toddlers running around the house and making a mess out of it.

You loved your both daughters endlessly. From the first moment you had held their tiny bodies in your arms, you had been falling in love every day again. But despite all aspects you loved about you two children, you sometimes wished that they would not have their father’s energy and urge to move. They could run around the apartment for hours, they could play hide and seek round after round after round, and they definitely could never get tired of braiding your hair or painting your nails all day long.

You couldn’t even blame them. After all, they were you a couple of years old. They were just trying to learn about the world around them, not understanding that your body was occupied with growing another living being.

In such moments, you were just more than relieved that you had your wonderful husband Namjoon by your side. Even though with his sometimes hectical idol life, he had always managed and made sure to support your whenever he could. He would go shopping for you when your feet had felt swollen and heavy, he would play with your two daughters in the living room when you had felt tired and exhausted, or he would just do simple things like giving you a nice message with his big hands whenever your back had hurt.

Totally absorbed in the thoughts about your husband, you didn’t noticed that you had been staring at him from the side all the time.

“See something you like, pretty girl.” He asked in his deep voice, before turning his head to look at you. His right hand never left your baby bump.

“Yes, that lamp over there at the drawer looks pretty nice.” You mumbled, leaning your elbow on the armrest of the sofa and placing your head on your hand, looking lovely at the boy in front of you.

Namjoon turned his head to look at the lamp behind him, before he looked back at you and began to chuckle slightly. Seeing his beautiful dimples and cute cringles left you no other choice but joining in into his laughers.

Most people said that those small moments with each other would get lost once you are married and once you have children, but your relationship had never been affected by that. You had always found way to take time for just the two of you, even if it only had been a meal you both created together.

“By the way, I have to tell you something.” He suddenly closed his book and looked excitingly in your way. “Do you remember that set of plates we found a few weeks ago, but they were already sold out when we wanted to order them? I stumbled over them again this morning, and they were available again. I hope you still want them, because I ordered them as soon as I saw that advertisement.”

You gasped in surprise. When the two of you had found out that you would expect another child, you had decided to finally muck out all that old stuff that you had kept from years ago. The kitchen was your current task to finish. You had found that new set of plates a few weeks ago and immediately, you had fallen in love with it, as well as Namjoon.

“Are you for sure?” You smiled at him, lifting your hands to give your husband a strong high five. “That’s freaking amazing. You are the best, yeobo (honey).”

Namjoon laughed again when you used the softened form of your expletive that you would also you use in front of your daughters. He carefully put his hand back on your swollen bump, leaning over to give you a kiss on the forehead, before turning his attention back towards his book.

The room fell in a comfortable silence again, as you laid your head on his shoulder and closed your eyes. It made you proud that your husband was so ambitious and caring about making yourselves a real home. Most people would believe that with his job, he would be more than occupied with himself rather than with your family but luckily, it was quite the opposite.

“Aein.” The sudden movement of your husband made you lift your head from his shoulder, watching as his closed his book, before he looked down at you with a somehow shocked expression. “Did we – did we just get excited about a set of – plates?”

Confused, you kept looking on your husband with wide eyes, trying to bring his words and actions together, until it finally hit you.

“Oh my god. Yes we did.” You whispered in shock, sitting up straight. “We just got excited about a set of plates. What did just happen.”

With your hand still placed on his chest, you both kept looking at each other. Namjoon and you had been together for more that 5 years now, but you had known each other for countless years before. You had been through high school together, and you had definitely been through some adventures and crazy times together.

Those teenager-times had gone by and the both of you had come together. You both had built up a strong relationship, even though you both had to manage your careers meanwhile. But that never meant that you had become boring in some way. Sneaking out at the dorms at night or wild make-out scenarios during his dance breaks had only been two examples of how you had developed together.

Even more year had went by and suddenly, you had become pregnant, bringing both, Namjoon and you, over the moon. That had been the moment you had finally grown up fully together, which was exactly the situation you found yourselves in right now, getting excited over a set of plates.

Meanwhile, Namjoon had broken away from his shock stare. He carefully took your hand away from his chest and brought it up towards his mouth, placing a big kiss on the soft skin.

“Oh my love.” He mumbled, lifting his gaze to meat yours. “I think we are getting old, hm?”

Even though such a realisation was hard to do, it somehow felt right to start that mew chapter in your lives together. Even though if that meant to be excited about a bunch of plates.

“It seems so.” You whispered back, leaning forward until your forehead were touching. “Next time we will get excited is about our new dentures.”

Namjoon chuckled slightly, before bending down to kiss your lips.

“As long as you are by my side when I get those dentures, I will always be excited about it.”

[chapter 15 ||| chapter 17]

„Okay, how does this look?” All the boys looked up when Hope walked around the corner and into the living room.

It was the day before Hope would start her first day of working and right now, the boys were all helping her with choosing the right outfit for that special day. She had started with some simple dresses, which had left Jimin’s open in amazement.

He had always thought of her as a beautiful girl, but seeing her in those dresses that had hugged her waist and chest perfectly was a picture he would never forget again. When he had looked from side to side, he had spotted the other boys making the same faces as him.

Right now, Hope walked into the living room, wearing a black, tight trouser, combined with a white blouse and a black jacket. Jimin felt like she was walking in in slow-motion. In his eyes, everything she was putting on her body was fitting perfectly.

“Wow.” He whispered under his breath, as the girl stood in front of them and in front of the large mirror that was hanging next towards the front door.

She was turning her body from side to side, sliding her hands over her shirt and trousers from time to time and knitting her eyebrows together. Jimin absolutely adored those small habits of her, like she would chew on bottom lip every time she was concentrating, or how the cringes would form on her forehead when she was thinking about something really hard.

“Hope, you look amazing.” Jungkook stood up from the sofa and walked up towards the smaller girl.

When he reached her, he took her left hand, lifted it up and just twisted her around. Hope began to giggle, before she fell against the bunny’s chest and placed her hands there. Jimin should probably feel jealous or hurt while watching that scene in front of him, but he didn’t. Not even when the younger boy bent down and pressed kiss towards the girl’s cheek.

By now, he was so used to Jin and Jungkook that he almost saw them as his brothers as well. He just felt that somewhere deep down, there was a deeper connection between them. The white tiger wasn’t quite sure what the connection between them was, but he was sure that the other were feeling the same way.

Jimin didn’t realize that he had been spacing out, until his brother beside him slightly nudged his arm.

“Close your mouth, or you will catch flies while staring at her.” He joked, before he was throwing his arm around the smaller boy’s shoulders and pulling him closer. “How cute. You were drooling over her again.”

“Like you.” He joked back, poking Taehyung’s side, who’s cheeks were slightly redden now.

Taehyung had gone through a major change since the both of them had been living here. He had been a grumpy boy in the beginning, but now, he was a normal boy. He would show more physical affection to him but also to the other two hybrids and even towards the girl.

It made Jimin happy to see his brother’s transformation but also his own. He was not the shy, and shaking boy anymore. The white tiger had learnt that he actually was a pretty physical person. He loved to hug and cuddle with other people, showing them how much he liked them and how thankful he was. He was thankful that Hope had taken them in, that Jin had given him his trust from the first

night, and he was thankful that Jungkook had given him and his brother a chance to live here.

He even had found his passion for music and dancing a few days ago when Hope had given him her MP3 player. It was amazing what his body was able to do and how to move to the beat of the music. If he would ever have the chance to lean a profession, he was sure that he wanted to do something with dancing and singing.

His gaze fell on the girl once again. When she had come home yesterday, she had pretended to be sad when actually she got the job she had ever wanted. Now, she had a real chance to change something in this world and maybe, just maybe, Jimin could someday make his dream come true.

“Are you nervous, Hope?” Hobi’s voice pulled him out of his mind.

The white fox had wrapped a fluffy blanket around his shoulders and was now sitting crossed legs on the couch. Jimin had noticed that Hobi was a pretty curious and open minded person. He never seemed to be scared to ask questions, and he would always listen to every little detail he was told.

“To be honest, yes.” Hope drove one of her hands through her thick hair, before she let herself sink down onto the corner of the sofa. “I mean, it is good to be nervous, isn’t it? I should be worried if I wasn’t, but I am also a little bit scared that I won’t do a good job and that maybe –“

“You will be the best lawyer girl, Hope.” Jimin pushed Taehyung’s arm off of his shoulder moved closer towards the girl, before he took her left hand. “I know it.”

“Yeah, you will.” Jungkook sat down next to her other side. “You will safe all Hybrids who need help and then the world will be a better place for everyone.”

Jimin didn’t miss the red shade that was now covering her plump cheeks. She pushed a strand of her almost golden hair behind her ear, while she started giggling slightly.

“But please, don’t bring all of them here with you.” Tae mumbled, as he was still laying on his back with his eyes closed.

By now, the girl’s giggles had turned into a real laughing, and as the corners of her mouth went up, Jimin could only stare at that beautiful pair of dimples that were now forming on her cheeks. Automatically, he started laughing along with her.

In that moment, Jimin realized how lucky he had been. Of course, there had been hard times for him and his brother in the past, but he knew that from now on, his life was heading into the right direction.

“You must be Ms. Carson, right?” The brown haired woman smiled widely at Hope, as she stretched out her hand. “It is so nice to finally have amplification to our small team. We need every possible support. I am Laura and I will show you around today.”

Still overwhelmed from all the new surroundings and people, Hope carefully shook the woman’s hand.

“Hello, Laure. Please, call me Hope.” She politely answered and let go of Laura’s hand.

Laura was a taller woman with wavy brown hair that fell over her shoulders and chest. Her smile was authentic and bright, and Hope immediately felt a heavy weight falling from her shoulders. The fear that she would not get along with her new colleagues had held her wide away through the previous night. But now, as she already had met a few people, she knew that she would not have to worry about anything.

“Okay, Hope.” Laura turned around and started walking down the hallway with Hope walking beside her. “Firstly, I want to show you the building a little bit. You will be confused, but I promise that you will get used to it in just a few days.”

Together, the two girls made their way from door to door, looking into different rooms and sections of the company. The building was located a little bit outside the city of New York in an older building, but that didn’t change the fact that inside, it looked exactly like Hope had imagined it.

After the reception and waiting area, Laura first showed Hope alle the meeting rooms where they would hold their weekly conferences, but also important customer talks or presentations. All the meeting rooms were completely surrounded by glass windows, so you could see right inside without hearing anything.

When they kept walking through the hallways, Hope suddenly spotted that one of the 4 meeting rooms was currently used by a smaller amount of people. Hope watched with wide eyes, how one of the men bent over a sheet of paper at the desk, pointing his pencil onto it. He was talking to a woman, who was standing next to the table and was looking at the sheet of paper as well.

But what fascinated Hope the most was that when the woman took a step to the side, she could actually see the reason she came here for. Opposite of the man in the black suit and next to the woman was a Hybrids boy sitting. The boy was carefully listening to what the men and woman were explaining to him, because he had his golden ears up in hight in the air.

From his body expression, Hope could see that there was still a hint of fear in his eyes. While he had one of his eyebrows cocked up, he also had wrapped his slim, long tail with the fluffy tip around his calve.

“What you are seeing there is one of our newest cases.” Hope just noticed that she had stopped walking when she saw Laura walking back towards her with a small smile on her face. “Adam Neil is a lion Hybrid. He wants to lawsuit against his adoption in court, because his owner locked him up in the basement for a few days. It took him a while to finally talk to us but now, it’s going forward for him.”

Hope didn’t miss the bitterness in Laura’s voice as she talked about the lion’s case. Her eyes were fixed on the boy, as Hope’s curiousness grew more and more. She wanted to ask more questions about every little detail of the case, but Laura had already started walking again.

They took turn after turn until they reached another section. Down the hallway, there were several doors on either side. Most of those doors were closed, but some were also opened so Hope could peak inside. The rooms weren’t big, but inside, they all had a desk and many book shelves.

“Those are our offices.” Laura pointed her fingers from door to door, as they kept walking down the hallway. “We do most of our paper work in here – and believe me, you will have a lot of paper work to do – but we also have private talks with clients here. You will have your own office once your trial period is over. Until then, you will help out in my office.”

“Wow.” Hope whispered, before she quickly walked up beside Laura. “This is amazing. I can’t wait to finally have my own cases.”

Laura looked down at the smaller girl with a slightly smirking expression.

“You remind me of myself, when I was just starting here.” She laughed and took another turn into another hallway. “I came from university and couldn’t wait to go in front of the judges. I can see how passionate you are, Hope. We need people like you, who want to defend our clients until the last second. May I ask you where that passion is coming from?”

Immediately, a large smile formed on Hope’s face. It was the though at her boys who were currently waiting for at home, but also the memory at her mother who raised her to be that open minded person she was now.

“I – my mother taught me that we all are equal.” She said and looked up at Laura. “She worked in the hospital and saved some Hybrids during her career. It made me so proud, and I just wanted to do the same things as her. I just think that we are living in a crual world, you know? People say that they changed their minds, but they also torture living beings at the same time.”

This time, it was Laura who stopped in her tracks. She turned around in one smooth movement and looked down at the blond haired girl with wide eyes.

“You are really mature for your age, but I like it.” She said, before she carefully walked closer and laid her hands on Hope’s shoulders. “You will fit perfectly in here.”

Both girls continued their tour through the building. The next section was a very special and rare among all companies for Hybrid rights. The company had built a small, separated building next to the main house, that was just meant for the clients to live in. If a Hybrid would decide to accuse someone or lawsuit someone in court, his owner would probably not welcome them back home with open arms. The company provided them a bed to sleep and something to eat while they had to wait for their verdicts.

Hope had seen all kinds of Hybrids walking around in that building. Some of them looked at her in a scared way, other were more open and asked her what she was doing there. Every time Hope had told them that she was a new addition to the company, the Hybrids’ eyes would began to sparkle with hope. Sadly, they couldn’t stay as long as Hope wanted to stay, because they had a strict schedule.

“Okay, we are now coming to our last section. In those rooms, there are the interrogations are taking their places.” Laura explained, before she turned around o face Hope directly. To the smaller girl’s surprise, her face was now worried and strict. “We have all kinds of cases there. The ones who came willingly, but also the ones who have to. For the papers, every Hybrid has to deliver a statement, but as you know, most of the judges doesn’t care about that. Like I said, it’s just for the papers.”

Laura pushed open a new door and lead both of them into a totally new room. The room looked similar to the reception room they had passed in the beginning of their tour. There was also a reception and many, different doors on every side of the room.

“We will also start our work here.” Laura told her, as she showed the lady at the reception her ID-card and walked towards a big shelf with many different folders. She grabbed one of them and shoved it into Hope’s arms. “Here. Our long-time and hardest case. He was accused for aggressive behaviour against state authorities. He had been here for almost two months now, but unfortunately, we don’t know anything about him, because he refuses to talk to us. His court date is in 30 days, and if we don’t get his statement, he will go straight to jail for several years.”

Hope’s heart was racing in her chest when she opened the folder with the Hybrid’s information.

Name: Kim, Namjoon

Date of bird: 12th September 2026

Breed: Mexican Grey wolf

Origin: Seoul, South Korea

Accusation:

Illegal abidance without a registration, resistance to state orders, aggressive behaviour against state authorities

Hope’s eyes fell onto the picture that was pinned at the top of the file. It showed a picture of an actually beautiful, young man who looked pretty tiredly and powerless into the camera. Immediately, Hope had the feeling that she should protect that boy from everything. The way his emotionless eyes were looking into the camera made it clear that he had already given up.

“What are we going to do with him?” Hope carefully asked but never took her eyes off of his picture.

“The same procedure as every day.” Laura dryly answered, before she walked towards the last door at the end of the room. “We will try to talk to him. If he answers, we can finally take a step forward and if not, we will do the same tomorrow.”

Hope closed the boy’s file and walked with confident steps towards her new college. She was determined that she would help this boy at all it would cost. She took a last, deep breath, as Laura pushed the door of the interrogation room open.

The room was decorated decent with only a table in the middle, a small cupboard and some flowers. It didn’t look intimidating though. On the other side at the window was a boy standing. He had his back turned towards both woman and was not turning around when they entered, his grey, fluffy tail was waving slowly from side to side.

Even from the distance, Hope could see that Namjoon was pretty tall and muscular. The grey jacket he was wearing was falling over is broad shoulders and over his baggy pants.

“Good morning, Namjoon.” Laura calmly said towards the boy, who had suddenly stopped to swing his tail around. “I brought a guest with me today. This is Hope. She is working with us from now on, and I hope you don’t mind her being here with me.”

Hope took another step further inside the room, with her eyes still fixed on the only boy here. Namjoon took a few deep breaths, before he slowly turned his head around. Hope held her breath when his sharp, dark eyes met hers for the very first time. For the split of a second, they just stared into each other’s eyes like there was nothing else around them, before Namjoon moved his eyes up and down her body an turned back to look out of the window.

Laura let out a small sighed of frustration. She gave Hope a last glance, before she sat down at the table. Hope on the other hand didn’t sit down. She guest that Laura and Namjoon had in some way a connection to each other and after all, Hope should just watch.

“So, how have you been, Namjoon?” Laura tried again, talking directly towards the boy.

The room fell in silence for a few minutes. Namjoon completely ignored both woman who were still looking expectedly at the tall boy. He just kept looking out of the window, his tail slightly moving through the air. Hope could see the sadness in his deep brown eyes. He looked so tired and powerless, but not because he didn’t sleep, more because he had mentally no energy left.

“Okay, Namjoon.” Laura sighed again, before she opened up a small note book. “You know I will have to ask you the same questions as always. I would love to see you cooperate with us, so we can help you.”

No reaction. It seemed like Namjoon was blocking out everything Laura was telling him and Hope already knew why. Laura was a nice and calm woman, but her strategy to get him to talk was completely wrong. At least when it came to the wolf Hybrid. How could he possible trust Laura, when he had absolutely no emotionally connection to her?

It was something Hope had learnt in the last few months. The process of trusting someone, especially when someone had been hurt and betrayed so many times, needed more space and much more time. It was not enough for Namjoon to gain trust in someone who would only spend two hours a day asking him questions.

“Hope.” Laura turned her head towards the blond haired girl. “I will go and get the three of us something to drink. Do you think you can stay here alone?”

Hope quickly nodded her head, and Laura headed out of the room, leaving the wolf and the small girl alone. The tension in the room seemed to grow with every passing second. The girl knew that she had to be really careful with what she was saying and doing. He should know that she was someone he could emotionally trust.

Slowly and with small steps, Hope walked around the table and over towards the large window. Standing there with a certain distance to Namjoon, the small girl leant her hands onto the window sill and looked outside. It was obvious that the tall boy was yearning for freedom. Of course, he was practically free to do everything while he was living here but after all, he was also like a prisoner who was waiting for his last day to come.

“You are wasting your time here.” Namjoon’s deep voice suddenly filled the silence in the room. “They have sent many psychologists here to get me to talk. I don’t need this.”

Hope turned her head to face the boy to her left. Though he had sent his words into her direction, he was not looking at her. His grey and white ears were standing still on top of his head, while he was now wrapping his tail around his right leg.

Hope knew this gesture by now. Jin would always wrap his long tail around his left leg when he felt embarrassed or shy, while Jimin would always do it when he was scared or insecure about something.

“I – I am not a psychologist. I am a lawyer.” She almost whispered, as she turned her head away from Namjoon. “I just finished my university degree. That’s why Laura brought me with her today.”

From the corner of her eyes, Hope saw how Namjoon turned his head to look at her side. He looked at her for several seconds, before she could suddenly head him sniffing the air a few times.

“Your scent is – quiet unusual.” He stated and this time, it was her who turned her head.

A small smile formed on her lips. She knew exactly what he was referring to when he mentioned her scent. Living together with 5 male Hybrids who wanted to cuddle as often as possible, left the girl covered in all of their scents.

“Our home is pretty hectical.” She laughed, before she lifted her gaze and met the boy’s eyes. “I live together with 5 Hybrids. All of the boys – they literally stumbled into my life, and it just clicked with us.”

Hope paid especially attention to use words like our home, together or us, to show Namjoon that she didn’t have any intentions to harm anyone. The tall boy on the other hand was now looking at her with wide eyes.

“You adopted 5 Hybrids?” He mumbled under his breath.

“No.” Hope replied calmly. “Just two of them. Jin and Jungkook have been living with me for several months now, but Jimin, Taehyung and Hobi have only been with us for a few weeks. We all are still getting used to each other, but yes, I – I also want to adopt them someday.”

Hope didn’t knew if it would be the right choice to tell him about how they all had ended up together, but he needed to knew where her passion to save Hybrids was coming from.

“I – I kind of rescued them.” She started talking again. “Jungkook and Jin came from a really bad home. Their owners had much money, but didn’t care about them. I found Jungkook by accident, and when he told me about his brother, I had no other choice than getting him out there. Later, I met Jimin. He and his brother needed help, so I offered them to stay with me and the boys. Hobi came to us a few days ago. He recognized Jin when we went shopping together. I saw and I still can see their suffers and I knew that they are safe with me. But I also know that thousands of Hybrids are not that lucky. That’s why I am here for.”

Both adults were now looking deep into each other’s eyes. Maybe Namjoon would not trust from one second to another, but he now had enough time to think about what she had told him and after all, he already spoke to her. That was a good sign.

“I am not here for the papers or to tell you some psychical stuff, Namjoon.” She said again after a few seconds of silence. “I know how hard it is for you to open up. I went through it more often than I would like, but I will defend you in front of the court, whether you talk to me or not.”

[chapter 14 ||| chapter 16]

“Are you excited for the day, Kookie?” Hope asked happily, as she walked around the car.

A few days ago, she had promised Jungkook that they would spend a day on their own, because with all the boys home it could get really hectical sometimes. Together, they wanted to go to the park, walking around and maybe making a picknick somewhere. Luckily, Jin had prepared them a few sandwiches this morning.

“Yes, I am.” The bunny stepped out of the car and stretched his arms in the air.

The weather was actually really beautiful, because it was a little bit sunny and warm, but not too warm for wearing a beanie. Like this, Jungkook could hide his ears with no one noticing. When he opened his eyes again, he looked happily at the girl, before he reached for her smaller hand and both of them began to walk towards the park.

As they were walking, Hope noticed for the first time how other people would see them. Since they were holding hands, the people passing by would probably think that the two of them were together in a relationship. Her cheeks went red when she thought about that.

Her gaze fell onto the boy next to her. Jungkook had his eyes closed, as the sun fell right onto his face, letting his skin glow. He looked so healthy and happy, nothing left from the shy, skinny boy she had found in the alley several month ago. She caught herself watching the shape of his nose and lips closely, bringing up the memory of that night where they had almost kissed into her head.

But still, there was one thing missing in the picture of his beautiful face. The poor boy still had to hide his long floppy ear that the girl loved so much. She loved to driver her fingers through the soft, grey fur, all the way up from the base towards the white tip and that back towards his dark hair. In that moment, she wanted to pull his beanie form his head so bad, showing all the people the true boy, but she knew that Jungkook would feel uncomfortable.

“Are you enjoying this?” He suddenly asked and turned his head down towards her, catching Hope completely off guards. “Just walking around, I mean.”

If it was possible, her face became now even more red when she realized that he didn’t meant her staring. She quickly cleared her throat and ripped her gaze away from his face.

“Y – Yes, I do enjoy it.” She said, trying to steady her voice. “It has been a long time since I have found the time to do something like that. But it is nice to actually clear my head like this.”

The boy just nodded, before he squeezed her hand a little bit tighter.

“Me too.” He eventually said after a few seconds of silence. “Especially with you. Doing something simple like this is anything I have ever wished for. Even though I have to hide my ears, I don’t care.”

Hope gripped his hand tighter when he spoke, pulling herself closer to press her face against the soft fabric of his jacket. Even though she had no extra senses to fully smell the boy’s scent, she caught catch at least the slightest hint of his masculine smell. Immediately, her heart began to beat faster.

Together, they kept walking a little while longer, talking about anything that came into their minds, until Hope spotted an empty bank. Both of them agreed to take a seat and take their picknick there. Jungkook placed the backpack he had insisted to carry, because it would be ‘heavy’, in between them, and both began to eat their sandwiches.

“Did I actually tell you that I have a job interview soon?” She swallowed the last piece of bread down and cleaned her mouth with a tissue.

She had told Jin a few days ago, that she applied to that lawyer firm in New York that were standing up for Hybrid rights in front of the judge. Jungkook’s eyes went wide, before a large smile formed on his beautiful lips.

“Are you serious?” He breath out, reaching over and grabbing her hand carefully. “That is great. I am so happy and proud at you.”

Hearing him saying that he was proud of her was making her cheeks blush again. She tried to hide it with a few giggles, making the boy giggling as well. But suddenly, Jungkook stopped and looked pretty serious into her eyes.

“But will you still have time for us once you will have started working?” He asked in a small voice.

“Of course, I will.” The girl slide a little bit closer towards him, giving attention to not let their hands go of each other. “I will always have time for you, Kookie. You guys are my number one priority.”

Jungkook was still not looking up into her eyes. He kept his head down and carefully slide his thump over the soft skin of the back her hand.

“But what if you will find a boyfriend.” He almost whispered. “Will there be space for us anymore?”

Hope chuckled slightly. It was cute how worried and protective the bunny was about his brothers, but inside in, she had known for a long time now, that there would not be a stranger boyfriend in her life. It were the simple things that would make her heart beat faster, like Jin hugging her from behind while she was cooking, or Jungkook holding her hand and sliding his thumb in small circles over her skin.

Lately, she even had taken Jimin and Taehyung into her heart, even though they hadn’t know each other for long. Those boys had made their way into her life and straight into her heart, making it difficult for her to organize her emotions. Could it be possible that she was developing feelings for all 4 of them at the same time?

“I don’t think I will find myself a boyfriend so quick.” She tried to overplay her awkwardness. “But what is about you? Should we find you a cute bunny girl?”

Immediately, Jungkook’s head shot up, and sharp eyes were looking into hers. He squeezed her hand even tighter, before he shook his head wildly.

“I don’t want a cute bunny girl.” He stated with a steady voice, making Hope think that she might had overstepped the border. “Besides, I already have a mate.”

The last part he mumbled more to himself, but Hope could clearly understand the word ‘mate’ from which she didn’t know what it meant. She wanted to ask the boy, but she decided against it, not wanting to upset Jungkook more. It should be a happy day for both of them.

She leant her head against Jungkook’s shoulder an closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun that was shining into her face. Both stayed like that for another few minutes, before Hope felt Jungkook’s nose nuzzling into her hair. She opened her eyes again and looked upwards.

It was just now that they found themselves once again int the same position like they had been a few days ago in her bedroom. Their faces just inches apart, noses almost nuzzling against each other, but this time, there was nothing that could interrupt them.

Slow-motion-like, Jungkook face came closer, until she could feel his hot breath on her lips. Hope could swear that her heart would spring out of her chest any second. Never in her life had she been that close to someone, but in that moment, there was no one she would rather be in that situation as with Jungkook.

Time seemed to stop when their lips met properly for the very first time. Carefully, Hope started moving them after a few seconds, exploring Jungkook’s mouth while steading herself by pressing her free hand against his chest.

A million questions were racing through her head, as Jungkook started to move his lips more passionately against hers. What would happen after this kiss? Would their relationship change now? Would they be together? What would be about the other boys that had a place in her heart?

All those thoughts faded away and her mouth escaped a small gasp when they both pulled away, facies staying close. Both were now looking into each other’s eyes, cheeks red and not knowing what to say.

“Look at those two.” They suddenly heard an older lady say towards her husband, as they were passing by. “Isn’t young love beautiful?”

Jungkook and Hope were looking back at each other, breaking out in small laughers. The boy wrapped his arms around Hope, pulling her closer and leaning his head against her hair. Both of them stayed like this the rest of the day.

“Out of the kitchen, woman!” Jin pretended to scare the girl away with his wood spoon, before she fake-whined and quickly walked out of the kitchen. “I have to concentrate in here!”

She turned her head back and stuck out her tongue, before she looked around for something else to do while Jin was preparing the dinner. She spotted Taehyung, Hobi and Jungkook sitting on the sofa with their fingers sliding over the controllers wildly, while they screamed some comments from time to time.

It was amazing how fast the boys had accepted Hobi in their circle. Just after a few days, they were already joking along with the older boy, laughing and playing together like they had known each other for years. It made her happy. Hobi was a great person, always funny hand happy.

When her gaze fell onto Jungkook, her cheeks redden. The memory of earlier came into her mind, but she had to remind herself that drooling now wouldn’t be suitable. She sighed and was about to sat down next to them, when she noticed that there was one boy missing.

Jimin was nowhere to be found in the living room or in the kitchen, which was quiet strange, because normally, he loved to hang out with his brother and Jungkook, and if he wasn’t with them, he usually would be with Jin.

She walked down the hallway when she already heard a soft humming coming from the two tiger’s room. Hope slowly pushed the door open a small gap, peeking her head into the room. Jimin was laying back down on the bed, his eyes were closed the small ear buds she had given him a few days ago in his ears.

He must have smelled the girl coming inside, because he suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the doorway. When he spotted the small human, he pulled out the ear buds and smiled wildly at her.

“Hello, Hope.” He sat up straight, as she walked closer towards the bed. “Come and sit down with me.”

Jimin was always a warm and welcoming person. Every time she saw him, he had his wide, beautiful smile on his face, making his eyes from into half-moons and her knees weaken. When she sat down on the bed next to him, he laid himself back onto his back and with his head into her lap.

“Why aren’t you with the others?” She carefully asked him, before she began to slide her hands through his thick hair.

Jimin hummed a little bit, before he closed his eyes again and pushed his hands further into her hands.

“I wanted to listen to some music.” He simply said. “Thank you again for the MP3 player, Hope. I love it.”

They stayed in that position for a little while longer, just enjoying the moment together. She had grown attached to Jimin really quick. His sweet and lovely personality made it hard for someone to not love him.

“Did you had a great time with Jungkook today.” He suddenly whispered into the dimmed room, not trying to hide the smile in his tone.

Hope was glad that the room was a little bit darker, because for the thousandths time that day, her face went red as a tomato. She awkwardly laughed and shifted around the mattress before she could find her voice again.

“I – “ She stuttered, not knowing if she should tell him or not, but it wanted to come out of her. “We – ehm – we kissed.”

She was giggling like a little school girl while talking, trying to cover her embarrassment. Jimin was now chuckling as well.

“I know.” He confessed, and she could practically see the smirk on his face. “You smelled more intensive like him when you came home earlier. I could tell straight away that something happened.”

A gasp escaped her mouth when he told her about that. If he smelled it, the there was no doubt that the rest of the boys had smelled it too. She wanted the ground to open up and swallow her away forever.

Before she had the chance to think about it further, Jimin had already pushed himself up from her lap, and was now wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her close towards his chest. Instinctive, she placed her head onto his shoulder while he snuggled his head into the creak of her neck, moving it carefully around. This gesture didn’t stay unnoticed by Hope, because she knew this gesture form Jungkook.

“Jimin?” She slightly chuckled as his breath tickled her sensitive skin. “Are you scenting me?”

The white tiger hummed a little bit, causing a wave of shover over her spine, before he pulled away. For a moment, they were just looking into each other’s eyes, before Jimin moved his hands to screech his neck.

“I am sorry.” He quietly whispered, pressing his ears flatly against his head. “It’s just – you smell so strongly like Jungkook and that just triggered my – my instincts. I am sorry.”

Hope chuckled at his cute stuttering. Though they had known each other for a few weeks now, Jimin would still get shy over the simplest things sometimes.

“It’s okay, Jimin.” She said, before he laid his head back into her lap.

As she drove her hands through his thick hair, she sunk back into her thoughts. She had never thought about the boys actually having animal-like instincts. Of course, she knew that their ears and noses were really sensitive, but she had also heard about other – needs – that Hybrids would develop while living together with a girl. Her cheeks blushed immediately when she thought about that.

“What are you thinking about?” The boy in her lap suddenly asked, looking up at her.

With redden cheeks, she quickly tried to find an answer when suddenly that one question popped up in her mind.

“How – how do I smell actually?” That question had been burning in her head ever since she had met the boys. “Do I smell – okay? I mean, do I smell like sweat or something, because if I did it – “

“Do you smell okay?” Jimin had abruptly pushed himself up from her lap and was now facing her directly. “Your scent is absolutely….amazing. You can’t imagine it, but a scent isn’t comparable to – sweat. I don’t know how to describe it, but every time you enter the apartment your scent is flashing me and the other boys. It smells so sweet and clear but also natural at the same time. Just amazing.”

With every word Jimin was using to describe her scent, her cheeks would blush more and more. She would have ever guessed that the boys enjoyed smelling her. Not knowing what to do, she began to twirl a strand of her hair around her finger while starting to laugh awkwardly.

“O – okay.” She eventually stuttered between her giggles. “Thanks, I guess?”

Though it was an uncommon way to compliment someone, she somehow felt proud to hear those words from the male. Never in her life had some boy made a compliment to her. Only her mother had told her often that she was a beautiful, but that was different.

Since she had been living with the boys, she had got a lot of compliments. Jin would often tell her that she was beautiful or that she would be cute when she couldn’t reach the top shelf, because she was tiny. Jimin had told her that he liked her scent, but he had often told her that he liked to hug her, because he felt comfortable around her. Taehyung was another thing. Though their relationship had made much process, he was still more reluctant when it came to compliments. Jungkook on the other hand made a lot of compliments. What she loved that most was that they all really meant what they said, not just like telling a phrase.

When she thought about Jungkook, her thoughts drifted back towards the scene where both of them had been sitting on the bank in the park together. Jungkook had seemed to be pretty upset when she had joked about finding him a bunny girl, before he had said something about ‘finding his mate’.

“Jimin.” It was just now that he realized that she had said his name pretty often today. “What is a mate? I heard Jungkook talking about it, but I didn’t know what he meant by that.”

Jimin cocked an eyebrow up, his ears standing up high in attention.

“He told you about it?” He asked, his voice was holding a hint of surprise and confusion.

“He just told me that he already has a mate.” She quickly answered. “Whatever that means.”

The white tigers chuckled slightly, before he sighed and scratched his neck, obviously looking for the right words.

“A mate is something like – what do you call it – marrying someone?” He began, before he sat up straight across from her. “Or more like a soulmate! You met a special person you love and with whom you want to spend your whole life together. You have no influence on the time you will meet your mate, under which circumstances or who he or she is.”

Jungkook had a mate? Someone he loved? Somehow, that hurt her more than she thought. It was not like she was not happy for him, because everything she wanted was that her boys could feel happy in their lives.

“But – but –“ Her mind was suddenly filled with thousands of questions. “ – what do you mean by who he or she is?”

“It means that there are no rules for finding one’s mate.” While he was talking, a small smile was forming on his face. “Age, gender, religion, race, breed – it doesn’t matter, everyone is just equal. Boys mate with boys, girls mate with girls, Christians mate with Muslims, Hybrids mate with human. Love has no definition in that point. There are even cases where Hybrids have more than one mate.”

Her heat shot up at that statement and her heart was suddenly pounding in her chest. On the one hand, it should make her happy that it was possible for Hybrids to find their mates in a human – like her – because in her heart she had known for a long time that she like her boys very much, but on the other hand, was there actually a chance all of them would feel the same for her too?

“What if one partner doesn’t want to be the mate of the other?” Her voice got quieter and quieter.

“Usually, mates are destined for each other, but of course, there are cases where one partner doesn’t accept his mate.” Jimin began to talk again, and Hope could tell that he was pretty serious about that topic. “It’s one of the worse cases ever. Losing our mate is like someone rips out a part of your heart. It’s very hard to get over the pain.”

Hope gasped slightly. She knew how much it hurt to loose someone you love deeply, but she didn’t know if that was comparably with losing your mate.

“How do you know who your mate is?” She almost didn’t dared to ask more question, not wanting to step on Jimin’s nerves, but somehow she got more and more interested with every new detail about that topic.

“I don’t know about you humans.” Jimin lifted his hand to scratch his neck, a slight tone of red was somehow covering his cheeks now. “But we Hybrids, we can smell it. It is the best feeling ever when you find your mate. It feels like you have thousands of butterflies in your stomach every time you see her – or him! Yeah – ehm – and you just want to be with your mate all the time, hugging him, marking him and just be together. It’s great.”

“Marking?” Hope had the feeling that with every word she got more and more confused.

“Hmm.” Jimin hummed. “It means that you bite your mate somewhere on his neck or shoulder to leave a mark there. When you mark your mate, it means that you will be together forever.”

Every word Jimin was using, she could hear the passion and love he put behind it, just like he had already felt all of that. She wanted to feel that too.

“Did – did you already find your mate?” Actually, she didn’t want to hear his answer, knowing that it would probably hurt her.

Jimin hesitated for a while, before he bent his head to the side, smiling almost unnoticed by her.

“I would say that Tae is my mate in some way.” His eyes sparkled slightly when he talked about his brother. “We are just clicking with each other and I love to hug or to cuddle with him, but yes, I – I think I also have another mate somewhere.”

When he showed her his perfect smile, Hope just couldn’t destroy his happiness by showing him that it hurt her. She just leant forward and hugged the boy tightly, burring her head into his neck.

“I am so happy for you, Jimin.” She whispered.

“Okay, gentlemen.” Jin looked at the 4 boys in front of him, who were sitting on the sofa in a row. “You all know that Hope has her job interview today, which is pretty exhausting for her. Therefore, we will make this evening as relaxing as possible for her. I – “

The leopard was interrupted by Hobi, who was carefully holding up his hand in the air, gesturing that he wanted to say something. He patiently waited for the older boy to give him a nod so he could start talking.

“What is a job interview?” The younger boy asked innocently.

Before Jin could answer his question, Jimin had already bent forward from the other side of the couch to look at Hobi.

“People are asking her a lot questions to see if she is suitable to work in their company.” He simply answered.

The fox cocked an eyebrow up, but eventually, he nodded after a few seconds and turned his attention back towards the oldest boy.

“Exactly, Jimin.” He showed Jimin a smile, before he was about to start talking again, when suddenly Taehyung was interrupting him. “That’s why –“

“Why are you even talking like that.” The black tiger asked with a smirk on his face. “Are we some kind of soldiers now?”

Jin just rolled his eyes. Though Taehyung had laid off his bratty attitude some days ago, he still loved to teas and provoke the people around him.

“Because –“ He locked eyes with every one of them, before he continued. “ – I want you to understand the importance of the situation. Hope is doing everything for us. It would only be fair from us to support her whenever we can. She will be pretty exhausted when she is coming home, and that’s why we will cheer her up with the apartment already cleaned, the laundry washed and a prepared meal. Do you understand? Okay, then let’s go!”

Without any protest, all the boys stood up from the sofa and began to do their job. While Jin and Jimin went towards the kitchen to prepare dinner, Jungkook and Hoseok went towards the storage to get the vacuum cleaner and cleaning stuff, and Taehyung began to collect all the used clothes into a basket to sort and wash them.

When two hours had passed by, all the boys met up in the living room again.

“It looks pretty good.” Jungkook stated, as they were all staring at the set up table. “I think she will like it.”

The other 4 boys agreed with the youngest. They had really put all their effort in preparing a nice evening for them and especially the girl. They didn’t even had to wait long, because all of them were still standing in the middle of the living room when they heard the front door being pushed open.

“I am ba – “ The girl stopped in her mid-sentence when she saw all 5 boys turning around at the same time. “What are you guys doing? Oh no, did you break –“

“Hope!” Jungkook was the first one to break out of his staring.

He almost ran over towards the small girl and threw his arms around her, quickly followed by Jimin who pressed himself between the bunny and the girl. Jin on the other hand waited patiently for the younger ones to let go of Hope, before he pulled her into a tight hug himself.

Hobi and Taehyung watched the scene in front of them in very different ways. While the fox Hybrid stood a little awkward and dumb folded there, not knowing what to do or how to behave, Taehyung held his typical smirk on his face and his arms crossed over his chest.

“Hello, human girl.” He smirked, before he stretched out his hand towards her.

“Hello, Tae.” The girl just rolled playfully her eyes but eventually, she shook the taller boy’s hand slightly. “Hello there, Hobi.”

She happily waved at the older boy, before she placed her purse and coat onto the sofa. She took a deep breath and turned back towards the boys.

“Hope, you look sad.” Jimin carefully took a step forwards, while he fiddled with the hem of his shirt. “Did you not get the job?”

Hope didn’t answer for a moment. She took another deep breath, before she looked up with her big eyes, making the boys believe that Jimin guessed right.

“I – ehm – “ She cleared her throat, before her face suddenly changed and a scream left her mouth. “I got the job! I did it!”

[chapter 13 ||| chapter 15]

„Wow.” The boy – Hoseok – wiggled his now sock-covered feet in front of him, before he happily looked up at the girl, who just came back with a cup of tea. “Thank you, Miss Hope. I have never had socks on, but I love them. They are so soft and warm.”

Hope smiled at him and placed the cup in front of him at the small couch table. All the other boys were standing around the sofa in the living room, looking at the scene in front of them. Jimin was holding his brother’s hands tightly, looking worriedly at the fox Hybrid. Taehyung on the other hand was rathe looking amused at the bubbly boy, who was talking as if they had known each other for years.

Jungkook was sitting next towards Hoseok, looking at him wide eyed as he was sipping on his tea cup. Jin had told the bunny, that they had actually met Hoseok once at a fight club, and it seemed like Jungkook indeed had remembered him, because he immediately offered to get the shaking boy some of his clothes and sat down next to his willingly.

“You don’t have to call me ‘Miss’, Hoseok.” Hope sat down on the other side of him, giving attention that she didn’t sit too close. “Just call me Hope.”

“Okay, Hope.” He sat the mug back at the table and smile brightly at the girl. “But then you have to call me Hobi. It fits better.”

Hope didn’t know what was going on right now. Someone had clearly hurt him, but he was acting bubbly and happily as if nothing happened. His personality made her smile unwillingly, but also brought more and more questions into her head. Looking at her boys, she could tell that they clearly had the same kind of questions.

“This is the strangest circus construction I have ever seen.” Hobi suddenly said, as he laid his ears back and cocked his left eyebrow up. “Two tigers, a leopard and a bunny. What kinds of tricks can a bunny do?”

It took Hope a while to finally understand what he was referring to. Jin had told them earlier that Hobi came from a circus a little bit outside of the city. If he had been there his whole life, he doesn’t knew how the world worked outside. Jungkook meanwhile seemed to suddenly realize what the fox had just said. He blinked a few times, before shaking his head wildly.

“Tricks?!” He asked confused, as he puffed his chest up and crossed his arms over his chest. “I don’t do tricks! What makes you think that I would do any tricks like I am – “

“Jungkook.” The girl just laughed at the bunny. She walked up towards him and carefully drove her hand over his fluffy hair, hoping to calm him down a little bit. “He didn’t mean it in a bad way. We are no circus, Hose – Hobi. We just live together, you know? Like friends or roommates.”

While talking towards the fox Hybrid, she let her hand carefully slide over Jungkook’s face who was pushing his head further into her soft skin. He whined a little bit when she moved her hands away to grab the first aid kit that was already laying on the table.

“What did happen to you?” Jin suddenly asked from behind the sofa. “How did you escape from the circus?”

Hobi’s bright smile dropped a little bit and he sunk his ears down a little bit. He looked up towards Jin, before he sighed slightly and looked back at the girl who was just about to put a small amount of gel onto a small cotton pad.

“It was a few days ago when I wanted to go to bed.” He began talking, holding his cheek out for the girl to put the gel on it. “There were suddenly some loud noises, so I went looking what was going on. I saw some police officers talking to the director about how the circus would be illegal and that they would confess all the Hybrids and sell them to some other people. I was so scared, because I heard stories how bad human treat us, so I run away at when they came to get us out of our cages. I hide, but when I became hungry I went to look for something to eat. I found that nice supermarket that had some trash cans where they threw away their food. I thought that they would not need it anymore, so I climbed in a took one of the food, but it seemed like they didn’t like it, because a man found me and tried to scare me away. I hit my head while tried to run away.”

His voice had become quieter and quieter as he kept talking, and the girl could hear the sadness in his tone. Her gaze fell onto Jin and Jungkook, who were looking at the with sad eyes at the thin fox on the sofa.

“Don’t worry, Hobi.” She tried to encourage him a little bit, as she threw the cotton pad away. “You are safe here. I think the boys wouldn’t mind you staying a little longer.”

She locked eyes with every single one of the boys, getting a confirming nod from them, even from the black tiger. Immediately, the smile on Hobi’s lips was back. He bowed his head politely and said ‘thank you’ all over again.

When she was done cleaning everything up, she asked Jin to show Hobi the last empty bedroom where he could rest a little bit. She also asked him to get some fresh towels and offer the fox to take a proper shower. Both older boys made their way over to the bedroom, while a whining Jungkook made his way up to the girl.

“Why are you always bringing some Hybrids home?” He chuckled, as he threw his arms around the smaller girl and nuzzled his face into her neck, causing a wave of goosebumps over her body. “it was a long time ago that just the two of us spent some time together.”

“I promise you that we will spend some time alone soon, Kookie.” She whispered into his ear, as she drove her hands once again over his soft hair. “But how about you choose some fresh clothes for Hobi to use until we have brought him his own? I bet he needs some after his shower.”

Jungkook nodded slightly and pulled his head away from her neck, before he leant forward and nuzzled his nose against hers, making their lips brush against each other as well. Too quick for her feels, the bunny pulled away and made his way over into his room, leaving just the two tigers and the girl back in the living room.

“What?” She asked amused when Taehyung shook his head smilingly, arms now crossed over his chest. “Jealous?”

“No. He is just so whipped for you. It would be cute, if it wasn’t making me throw up hearts and unicorns.” He stated, making Hope roll her eyes. Of course, she knew that he was only messing around with her.

Her eyes fell onto the smaller tiger, who was looking with big eyes at the girl, fingers fiddling with the hem of his shirt. He was looking like he was dying to say something, but was trying to hold back really hard. When her eyes met his, he quickly looked away.

“Are you okay, Jimin?” She carefully took a step closer towards him. “You can ask me anything, you know? I won’t be mad.”

Jimin just nodded, before he lifted his hand to scratch his neck, eyes were meeting here now.

“I – ehm – “ He caught, looking at his brother and then back at the girl. “I wanted to ask if – ehm – if you could alsogivemeahug.”

The last part he only mumbled towards himself, but Hope had understood every word what he was saying. Though they hadn’t known for long, Jimin was a really sweet guy who was looking for affection from the people surrounding him.

„Of course, Jimin.“ She smiled and opened her arms for him.

Quicker than she had thought, Jimin was taking a few steps forward and wrapped his arms around her body, laying his head sideways onto her shoulder. Hope wrapped her arms carefully around the taller boy and leant her chin onto his shoulder, her mouth right next to his ear.

“Are you uncomfortable with Hobi around here?” She asked quietly, hoping that she had not taken it too far.

Jimin quickly shook his head, pressing her even closer towards his chest.

“I think I like him, he seems funny.” He whispered back. “But – but you won’t sell us, will you?”

Her stopped in her chest when she heard the fear in his voice. Hobi’s experiences had clearly scared him that the same destiny could come after him and his brother. Hope knew that it would need some more time that they actually trust her fully, but she would show them with every action that she meant what she promised.

“I would never let anyone take you away, Jimin. Never.”

“I think it is fully health, Tae.” She said as she tossed the bandage onto the small table.

Taehyung cocked his eyebrow up when she called him by his nickname. It was the first time he had heard her call him something else than by his real name, but he didn’t mind though.

“Tae?” He teased, as he smirked at her. “Did I already allow you to call me that?”

The girl sitting next to him just rolled her eyes, as she stood up and walked into the kitchen to throw away all the used supplies. The black tiger chuckled at that gesture. She would often roll her eyes when he teased her about something, and something inside him was enjoying that.

He watched her small form walking back towards the sofa and sitting down on it. He had caught himself a few times, that he like the elegant way she was walking around, or how she would move her hair out of her face in one powerful movement.

“Where are the others actually?” She asked when she was leaning herself back into the soft cushions of the sofa.

“Jimin and Jungkook are in his room, because they wanted to play the guitar.” He replied. “Jin and Hobi are still in the bathroom showering.”

Without thinking he let his instincts come over him, and he suddenly let himself fall to the left side where the girl was sitting, placing his head in her lap and smiling up at her. Hope was taken by surprise when he did so, letting out a small yelp and lifting her hands up.

“Where did that come from?” She laughed a little bit awkwardly, before she sunk her hands back down, resting them onto his hair. “And what did you say? They are showering together?”

Taehyung didn’t miss the small shade of red that was spreading over her plumb cheeks, as her gaze over to the bathroom door, where the light from inside was shining through the keyhole. He did never mean to embarrass her in any way, but it was fun to mess around with her.

“Mhh.” He just hummed and closed his eyes, enjoying her fingers that were messaging his skull. “Do you have a problem with that? Me and Jimin are showering together, too.”

Her fingers stopped for a second, and Taehyung could sense her heartbeat stronger and faster now. He smiled inside in.

“N – no.” She stuttered, trying to steady her voice. “It is just – strange? I mean, they met literally 3 hours ago, you know?”

“I know.” Taehyung opened his eyes again, just to meet her dark eyes. “But Hybrids are different from you humans. We can tell from each other’s scents whether we can trust someone or not. We don’t make a scene out of like you do.”

The black tiger laughed again, an even louder this time, when Hope rolled her eyes again. Human could really be uptight in some points like being nude with one another. Maybe it was because they could not smell the other one’s scent, but maybe they were just lame, he couldn’t tell.

“And are you trusting the others?” She suddenly asked with a quitter voice, as if she was afraid to hear the answer.

Taehyung was still looking into her eyes from laying in her lap. The truth was that he had known from the first time they met that they were good people. Of course, one could never know, but never had a doubt that they were keeping their promises. It had more been his pride and his fear that had held him from trusting them.

“Yes, I do.” He simply said back.

“Are you trusting me?” She asked even quieter.

Human were another thing. While other Hybrids had their ears and tail that could give away a lot of information about someone’s intentions, human could act really good. They were acting all nice and safe in the beginning but would show their real personalities when you were less expecting it. That was why he had been so sceptical about the human girl.

“Maybe I do.” He smirked, teasing her once again. “Maybe I do not. Who knows.”

“You know, Tae.” She emphasised his nickname on purpose. “You don’t have to act like the cool guy all the time. There is nothing wrong with showing one’s emotions. You can show us when you are happy, because it makes us happy too. But if you are sad and scared you can show us as well, because then, we can help you.”

Taehyung purred when her fingers came close to the roots of his ear, but they were not touching them. He knew himself and his behaviours. He knew that he was sometimes overreacting, and that it took him a lot to admit his emotions in front of someone else, but he never meant to hurt someone in a bad way. It had always been to keep him and his brother safe.

He had always thought that emotions are some kind of a weakness. He had thought that showing off his emotions would make him transparent and vulnerable, but since he had been living here – with his brother and the girl – he had never felt vulnerable anymore. He had seen the way Jimin’s eyes would sparkle every time he was laughing and how the people would react on his emotions. He wanted to feel that free too.

“I – I am happy.” He almost whispered with his deep voice.

He said it. For the very first time in his life he could truly and open say that he was feeling happy. Hope didn’t say anything else. She just smiled down at him and kept driving her hands through his thick hair. As she smiled, Taehyung once again got lost in her eyes.

From the first moment he had seen her, those incredible dark orbs had caught his attention. It had never been like he was looking into his brother’s eyes, who had also dark eyes, it was more like he would look into a set of emotions that locked his heart and made it swell with nothing but love.

It was him who was turning red while thinking about that. He had no plan what was going on with his body, but he knew that he liked it and this time, he would not be the one to stop those emotions.

Hobi laid on the soft bed this evening, his arms and legs were sprawled out to either direction while he was thinking about what had happened.

Not only had he found Jin when he had been strolling around the streets of New York, he had found him with that small human girl. He had been surprised when Jin had told him that Hope had adopted him and his younger brother Jungkook.

He had never met a human as nice as that small girl who had offered him some new clothes and a bed to sleep in. Back in the circus, he had had his cage with his blanket that he had thought which was comfortable, but it was nothing to compare to this blanket.

His chest squeezed a little bit tighter when he thought about his blue blanket. No one could probably understand why he missed that worn out and dirty blanket, but for him it was his home. He had always loved to cuddle into hid blanked after an exhausting day, shutting everything out beside the warmth that he felt under the blue piece of fabric. Unfortunately, he hadn’t had the chance to take it with him when he suddenly had to leave the circus.

In that moment, he suddenly felt nothing but lonely, even though he had felt over the top just a few minutes ago. Everything was now hitting him all at once. Within just a few minutes, he had lost everything he had ever know, before he was thrown into the cruel world of New York. Of course, the circus life had also been hard sometimes, but after all, they had always provided him with a small amount of food and a place to sleep.

In New York, people had scared him away in the most humiliating ways, even though he had been hungry and cold. They had never cared.

That was why he had been more than happy when he had suddenly smelled a familiar scent. Hobi had remembered Jin immediately when he had passed the small alley he had been hiding him. He had almost not recognized the boy he had sometimes talked to at some fights, because he had hide his ears and tail.

For a moment, he really had doubted his senses, but he had clearly remembered the older boy’s scent even after that long time. To his surprise, the girl that had been standing next to him, had not looked shocked or scared at all when she had spotted his tail and ears. She had patiently waited for both boys to finish their conversation, and she even when Jin had turned around to ask if Hobi could spend the night with them, she had not hesitated a single second to agree.

“Hobi?” The fox’s ears shot up when he heard Jin’s voice coming through the door. Carefully, the leopard pushed the door open and peaked his head inside the room. “We want to eat now. You are welcome to join us.”

Hoseok just nodded his head, before he carefully stood up from the bed and walked towards the door. He poked his head around the door frame. Jin had already sat down on the table next towards his the younger white tiger, while the bunny and the girl were carrying some pans and pots into the dining area.

He hesitate for a second to leave his room. Though Jin had told him that he was invited to join them, he wasn’t sure if it was appreciated. After all, she had already given him a bed to sleep in for the night.

“I know what you are thinking about.” A deep voice from behind made jump. He quickly turned around, just to see the black tiger, Taehyung, standing behind him with his hands int his pockets. “Just a few days ago, I was looking at them in the same way, I was thinking the same things. But believe me, you will regret not joining them at some point.”

The fox Hybrid was looking at the younger boy with wide eyes. The poor boy must have gone through some bad times, judging from the way he was talking. Hobi wanted to ask him about that, but he decided that this might could be the wrong situation, so he just nodded his head and walked fully out of the room.

“Hey, you two. Come and sit down.” Hope flashed them a wide smile, before she pulled herself chair back and sat down at the table.

Hobi was amazed by her kindness and her smile. Never in his life before, a simple smile had made him feel so welcome and…safe. It was not just her smile that made him feel that way. He had also seen the way she had been talking to the other boys and more important, he had seen the way how the boys had been talking to her.

They had never shown any hint of fear or hesitation, which he was glad about, because he had heard stories from other Hybrids that had caused a heavy fear in his bones. For the first time in his life, the feeling of completion was developing deep down inside him.

To honor the day of 200 followers, I decided to upload this super cute chapter. It’s one of my favorites so far. Enjoy reading it💜

[chapter 12 ||| chapter 14]

Jin looked up from his book when he smelled the girl entering the living room. Hope looked a little bit confused around the room, as if she was looking for something, before her gaze fell on Jin. Immediately, a smile played on her lips and Jin felt his heart skip a beat as she made her way up towards him.

“Hey.” She smile, before pulling herself a chair back and sitting down next to him. “Where are the other three?”

That had been what she had been looking for when she came into the living room. Usually, Jungkook would sit on the sofa at this time and practice his guitar, but with the two tiger living here now, he had found two friends to hang out with. It was surprising how fast the three of them had become used to each other. You wouldn’t guess that they had practically hated each other in the beginning, when now you would only see the together, joking along all day long.

“They are in our room.” He smiled back at her. “Jungkook wanted to show them his punching bag.”

Her soft laugh rang through his ears when he told her about the younger boys. He knew how much she wanted them to get along.

“They are inseparably now, aren’t they?” She chuckled, leaning back and shaking her head slightly. “I am happy though. I think he needed someone in his age to hang out with.”

“You are in his age.” Jin responded, placing his elbows on the table and resting his head on his hands.

“But I am not a boy.” She rolled her eyes, but held a tone of humour in her voice.

Both of them were laughing by now. Jin enjoyed those moments with Hope. He loved to joke along with her, because despite her age she was really mature in her personality which made him feel less old. After all, he was over 4 years older than Jungkook.

While talking to each other, Jin carefully lifted his tail and placed it in her lap. A few days ago, when the both of them had been cooking together in the kitchen, Jin accidently had brushed his tail against her tight while swinging it around. He had been scared for the split of a second, that she might had been felt badgered by this kind of affection, but she had just smiled and told him that she like to feel his soft fur.

It had wondered him that he suddenly was okay with someone touching his tail, because in the past he had felt disgusted by such gestured. But with the girl, it felt more than right.

“So, how have you been with Jimin and Taehyung?” Hope asked, as she carefully took his tail and began to stroke the soft fur. How he wished that she would scratch his ears too.

“I had a good time with them.” Jin smiled at the memories he had made with the two tigers. “I actually had a talk with Taehyung the other day. He is a good listener I think.”

Jin had already spent some time with Jimin before. The younger boy was a funny, but lovely person. The white tiger had quickly warmed up towards him, and was even hugging him occasionally by now. Jin didn’t mind though. Jimin reminded him much of his younger brother, which made Jin like him even more.

Taehyung was still more reluctant when it came to physical affection, but after all, he wasn’t grumpy or arrogant anymore. He would now join them for breakfast or dinner, or he would joke around with the two other younger boys. It was the right decision to take them in.

“Are you going to adopt them too?” The question came rather spontaneous in Jin’s head. He didn’t mean to sound harsh in any way, but he eventually noticed how the question had caught the girl off guards. “I am sorry. This was inappropriate of me. I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable by asking that.”

“No, don’t be.” Jin felt his cheeks redden when he hear the tone of shyness in her voice. “To be honest with you, I have thought about it for a teeny-tiny second. But it is way too soon to make a decision. Let’s just wait for another few weeks how it will be going with the five of us, okay?”

Jin just nodded and closed his eyes for a second. Could he imagine to live with those two tigers for the rest of his life? When he thought about that, he suddenly realized that he had never considered that the girl had her own life too. He didn’t mind having Jimin and Taehyung in addition here, but what was when someday, she would suddenly bring another boy back home.

His stomach pulled together when he thought about such a scenario. He didn’t want to see her hugging or even kissing some stranger boy, who wouldn’t even know how lucky he was to be with her. No one could ever see what she had done for him and his brother, and of course for Jimin and Taehyung as well.

What kind of boy would she even like? Would she think of him rather cute, because of his ears or because he loved to cook for all of them, or would she rather think of him as a real man even though he wasn’t as muscular as Jungkook?

“Are you okay? Did I hurt your tail?” He opened his eyes when he heard her worried voice. She must have seen the confusion in his eyes, because she chuckled slightly. “You suddenly growled. I thought that I might have hurt you.”

Jin’s cheeks redden. He had even realized that he had begun to growl. Quickly, he shook his head, gesturing for her to go on stroking his tail. It was just now that his gaze fell fully onto her face. The morning sun fell through the big window in the living room, right onto her face, lighting it up.

Hope had the deepest brown eyes he had ever seen, surrounded by her thick, black lashes. They would even sparkle when she was talking about something she liked or when the sun was shining onto her face like in that moment. Her plumb, full lips that would reveal her white teeth and cute dimples when she was laughing about something he said. It was the best feeling.

He had caught himself more than one time thinking about her in that way. He didn’t know what was happening with his body, but he did know that he loved the things he felt when he was around the small girl. He wanted to feel those emotions every day and every second for the rest of his life.

Back then, when his old owners had taken him to fights, he had secretly talked to other Hybrids from time to time who had told them about their lives. Some of them had even told him about their mates and how it was the best feeling in the world to finally find one’s mate.

Jin didn’t know how it felt to finally find one’s mate. He had never had contact with other female Hybrids, but deep inside himself he didn’t want to find his mate in another female Hybrid. He wished that one day he would wake up and realized that Hope was his mate. Of course, it was just a dream of his. He didn’t even knew if it was possible for a Hybrid to find his mate in a human.

But then, he thought back at the night he had talked with Jungkook about his feelings towards the girl. It was not a problem for him that Jungkook liked the girl as well. After all, Jungkook was his brother and they had naturally a closer relationship towards each other. It was more about what he had told his younger brother.

“Forget it, Kook.” He had told him. “It’s impossible. You will never be more to her than a Hybrid. And even if, what would the people think of her? They will laugh about her. Do you want the people to laugh about her?”

He sighed inside him. She had given him more than he could have ever asked for. Should he really be so selfish and ask this much from her in addition, risking that the whole world would be laughing about here? No, he would not do this to her. He couldn’t do this to her.

“I thought about quitting university for a long time now.” He immediately was ripped out of his thoughts. “I want to work at the library instead.”

“What?” Jin asked confused, as he looked wide eyed at the girl in front of him.

She looked at him for another few seconds, before she broke out into a small giggling.

“I was just joking. I wanted to see if you are still with me.” She chuckled and Jin felt his heart beating faster. “You snoozed out for a few minutes. Did you think about something beautiful?”

Jin blinked a few times, before he carefully nodded, hoping that she wouldn’t notice the small shade of red on his cheeks.

“Some really beautiful.”

Hope laid backwards on her bed, arms spread out to either side of her. It was the day of all days she just wanted to go over as fast as possible. The whole morning, she had already tried to avoid going out of bed, staying as far away from her laptop and phone as possible.

While trying to think of anything but the one topic surrounding her, Jimin and Taehyung slipped into her head. Both of them had lived with her and the boys for several days now, and it had been nothing but amazing. Jungkook was having the time of his life with his both new friends, and there was nothing that made the girl happier.

Sometimes, it felt so weird having four people more in the house. It all happened so fast. One day, she found Jungkook starved and injure in an alley-way, and now she was living with four Hybrids. Though she wished that they all would had met under other circumstances, there was nothing she regrated since she had taken them all in. They had –

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at her door.

“Hope?” She could hear Jungkook’s soft voice coming from the behind the door, before he pushed it open and stepped inside.

The bunny Hybrid didn’t hesitate anymore to just step in and laid beside the girl on the bed. He crawled over towards her and rested his head onto her stomach. His floppy ears were now sprawled over her chest. The girl lifted her fingers and carefully drove her hands through the boy’s full hair.

“It’s 1 pm.” The boy mumbled against her shirt, turning his head to look up at her when the girl growled slightly under her breath. “You have to check if you have won.”

“I can’t win there.” The girl slightly chuckled at Jungkook’s words. “I am – I am a little bit scared, you know? I mean, I worked all my life for this moment. What if I messed up?”

Jungkook lifted his head from her stomach and leant himself onto his forearms, facing the girl directly. Because he had laid with the left side of his face onto her, his right ear had flopped over towards the left side of his face, making him look silly. Hope chuckled at this side and lifted her hand without thinking, flopping his ear back into the right place.

When she realized what she just had done, a heavy shade of red covered her face immediately. She thought that she might had just gone too far, but to her surprise, Jungkook just bobbed his ears up and down a few times, before he began to laugh, making her laugh as well.

“I don’t think you messed up.” He eventually whispered when they both had calmed down again. “You are the smartest girl I know. And the only girl I know, but still the smartest, and we need you to fight for us.”

For a few seconds, both young adults were just looking into each other’s eyes, and it was just now that Hope realizes how close their face had actually been all the time. Her eyes flickered towards the bunny’s full lips, that seemed to glow as the light of the sun fell onto his flawless face. It would be so easy to just lean forward, making their lips touch.

When her gaze met Jungkook’s eyes again, she saw his giant, big, brown orbs that just flickered back up from her lips. He was still leaning on his forearms in front of her, and like in slow-motion, both of them leant into each other. None of them had ever make such an experience before, but it was like they were just guided by their instincts.

They were still staring into each other’s eyes when their noses were already touching, nuzzling against each other, before she closed her eyes and was about to close the last few inches between their lips, when suddenly –

“Hope! Jungkook!” The sound of Jimin’s voice made them pull apart immediately.

Hope’s face felt like it would burst in heat when they both giggled with each other like teenagers. Jungkook’s big, brown orbs were staring directly into her eyes once again, gesturing her to come over into the living room. Hypnotised by his begging eyes, she nodded and pushed herself up from the bed, following the excited bunny into the living room.

There was no going back now. In the next following minutes she would find out whether she passed her final exams, or if she had just wasted several years of her life. Just in that moment, the question what she would do if she would not have passed it hit her hard. Immediately, her breathing got harsher and louder. There was no plan B.

If she would not have passed, she would not earn money anymore to afford this apartment. She would have to move into a smaller apartment with the boys and – the boys! How should she get five people through without –

“Hey.” Two strong arms wrapped themselves around her from behind, making her snap out of her thoughts, just to see that all 4 Hybrids were looking at her wordily. “Your heart beat can be heard from 5 mile away. You need to calm down.”

Jin laid his head onto the girl’s head and wrapped his long tail around her waist, pulling her closer towards his chest and trying to calm her down a little bit more. Of course, he didn’t knew that her heart was also still beating so fast because of what had happened with Jungkook a few minute ago.

She tried to push the memory out of her mind for a second to hide her blushing face. Jin eventually let go of her when she took her seat in front of the laptop that was already placed on the dining table.

“Do I really have to –“ She turned herself away from the laptop, just to be pushed back by the leopard.

“Yes, you have to madam.” He pushed the whining girl in front of the computer and opened it.

Jungkook meanwhile had taken a seat next to the girl and was now reaching for her hand. His brown eyes were locked with hers as he carefully squeezed her smaller hands to encourage her. For a moment, she got lost in those dark orbs, before Taehyung’s voice made her look away.

“Why are you guys so nervous?” He looked between the girl and Jungkook.

She didn’t even listened to what Jimin answered his brother. Her fingers were literally shaking as she let the slide over the keyboard. Those questions, what if, were still running through her mind. It was not even about her in the first place. She would always find something else to get herself through, but the boys wouldn’t.

The website suddenly opened up. With a last glance to Jin, who stood behind the computer, arms crossed and feet taping on the ground, she took a deep breath and entered her password. She pushed enter and immediately a list of hundreds of named popped open. She didn’t had to scroll far down, because her name stood almost at the beginning. Her heart stopped when her eyes slide over the row

“And?” Jimin asked nervously, his ears standing up highly.

Hope couldn’t talk. Her emotions were running wild, kicking into her system and spreading off all the adrenalin she had. She slowly pulled her hands away from Jungkook and brought them up towards her mouth, before she closed her eyes and a loud sob left her mouth.

The room fell into a silence and the only sounds that could be heard where her small sobs. The boys were just looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

“Hope?” Jin walked up towards her and wrapped his arms around her trembling body, before rubbing his head into the creak of her neck.

“I did it.” She finally piped, her voice was shaking slightly. “I did it.”

When she spoke the words out loud, it was the first moment that she actually realized the situation she was in. She passed her exams, those exams that authorized her to become a lawyer.

“Why are you crying then?” Jimin asked confused, taking a step closer as well. “Aren’t you happy, Hope?”

“I think she is crying because she is happy.” Jimin looked at his brother, even more confused than before.

“Human cry when they are happy?” He asked again, cocking his left eyebrow up.

The tears were still running down her cheeks, soaking Jin’s white shirt as she chuckled at Jimin. She was still too shocked to answer him, but luckily Jungkook already got her back. While he tried to explain her outburst of tears towards the white tiger, Hope’s eyes were still clued onto the passed-button.

In that moment, she felt nothing but pride and happiness inside her chest. She now had anything she could have ever asked for. She had great friends and roommates, that she already loved with all her heart and finally she also could chase her dream and help those who couldn’t help themselves. Could she ask for more?

“Milk, eggs, noodles….” She mumbled to herself, as she strolled through the supermarket.

Jin was walking closely behind her, shoving the shopping cart in front of him. Jin was obsessed with going to the supermarket. She could see the sparkle in his eyes when she asked him to get the sugar all by himself or when he was allowed to pay for their groceries.

He always looked so proud and happy, and she knew that he just loved the feeling of being able to do anything he wanted to do, as long as his ears would stay hidden by his beanie and his tail hidden by the wide trousers. One day, he would never have to hide himself again, she would make sure of that, now that she had the power to change something.

She smiled when she remembered the previous day. The boys and her had celebrated her passed exams with a self-made meal and a movie night. It had been the first time that her and all 4 boys had spent time together without someone fighting with each other.

Jungkook had really got used two those two tigers, especially because they were also so obsessed with those video games. They would sit hours in front of the TV, swirling their fingers over the controllers with their eyes fixed on the screen. She even had to stop them a few days ago, since they had started playing in the morning until almost afternoon.

“What are you actually going to do now?” Jin appeared from behind her, pushing the cart faster to walk up next towards her. “Since you passed your exams, I mean.”

“For now, I will just try to gain some experiences in the lawyer business.” She sighed, as they took one last turn, making their way up towards the checkouts. “I already did some researches and there is indeed a small company for Hybrid rights here in New York. I will try to get a job there and once I saved enough money and gained some experiences, I am planning on maybe open my own business, you know?”

Jin knitted his eyebrows together for a moment, looking like he was thinking really hard.

“Will you let us work in your company?” He suddenly asked after a few seconds, stopping on his track.

Hope stopped in her ways as well, tuning fully back towards the leopard Hybrid. She had never thought about letting her boys work in her company, but it was actually a really good idea. She wanted to fight for Hybrid rights, so why not making a sign and hiring Hybrids as her assistants?

“I mean –“ She took a step closer towards Jin. “ – there is no law that Hybrids can’t go to work. I - I would love to have you guys helping me to build up an own business. It would definitely make point. But I don’t want you to be a means to an end, so if you want to help me I would be more than thankful for that and I would definitely treat you to be free in what you want to do. But I would never force you.”

Jin just stared into her eyes, making the girl think that she maybe said something wrong. But to her relief, a smile spread over his face and he started walking again.

“I would love to work for you.” He said happily. “I want to help you as much as I can. Do you think we would be the first company to have Hybrids as employers? ”

“I actually know some shops where Hybrids are working.” Hope chuckled. “Do you know that small bakery I usually get our bread rolls from? That old lady who owns the bakery adopted a cat Hybrid. He sometimes helps out when the old lady can’t go to work. He is a nice boy, I talked to him a few times. They don’t have much consumers, but I love their shop anyway.”

“As nice as we are?” Jin joked, but tensed up a little bit.

“No.” She replied, sinking her head as a small smile played on her lips. “No one could come close to you guys.”

They both broke out in small laughers, before they eventually reached the checkouts and put their things onto the band. Jin paid for their groceries, and the two of them walked out of the supermarket. Hope tried to convince Jin to let her carry at least one of the bag, since the boy had taken those two large bags. But Jin refused to let go of them and just started walking, so she had no other chance than to walk next to him.

From the first moment she had met Jin, he had always be a gentleman towards her. In the beginning more because he had been afraid to do something wrong, but by now Hope knew that it was his personality.

She didn’t mind though. It was a nice feeling when he would hold the door open for her to enter first, or when would hold her jacket so she could slip in easier. Many people in this world had unlearned what it means to be polite or courteous, which made her boys even more special.

When they were walking through the streets back home, the sun had already started to setting behind the walls of houses, making the sky sparkle in a beautiful red and orange colour. She closed her eyes for a moment and called an almost faded memory into her head.

“You know, when I was younger – “ She started and opened her eyes again. “ – I enjoyed watching the sun set. Me and my mother, we often sat down on that small hill behind our house and – “

“Jin?”

An unknown voice made her stop in her mid-sentence and in her tracks. Jin stopped walking too, turning his head around in surprise as he heard his name being called. A gasped left his mouth when he saw that person standing int front of them, making the girl wonder who this might be.

It was a boy, maybe as old as Jin or even a few years younger. The boy was smiling like crazy, showing off some slight dimples on his cheeks. He was pretty thin with just a baggy grey shirt and some dirty and ripped sweatpants but no shoes. Hope gasped slightly when she spotted the pair of beautiful, white furred ears on the top of his dark hairs and the fluffy, white tail behind his back, that he was shyly holding in his hands.

His eyes flickered happily between the girl and Jin, as if it wasn’t bothering him at all that he had no shoes one in the cold autumn evening or that a larger bruise was forming at his cheekbone. Luckily, she could not see any more of them on his arms or legs, as he took a step forward towards them.

“Don’t you remember me?” He asked in excited voice, as his ears twitched wildly around.

Jin seemed to remember whoever this was, because he placed the two grocery bags carefully on the ground and took a step forward as well.

“Hoseok?”

[chapter 11 ||| chapter 13]

“I am sorry, but you have to leave.” The girl had shoved both, Taehyung and him, towards the door of her apartment. “Here is no longer room for you.”

That was the last thing they heard from her, before she slammed the door shut in front of them. Jimin’s heart broke at her words. Now, the both of them were on their own again, alone and scared, like Taehyung had predicted.

If it was for Jimin, he would have stayed in front of her door and begged for her to let them in again, but Taehyung had lead him out of her building, pulling him down the streets, always careful that they would not be seen by any other human.

But luck had not been with them. Before they could had reached the small forest, they had been caught and taken away. The men had locked them up in cages and were now driving them god knows where.

“I am so sorry, Hyung.” Tae suddenly sniffed from the cage beside him. “This is all my fault.”

Never before had Tae cried. He had always been the one to be strong and rational when everything would fall apart, but not now. Jimin wanted to crawl over and hug him, but they were still separated by the heavy metal bars.

“No, Tae.” Jimin squeezed himself as far as possible through the metal bars, so he could touch Tae’s shoulder with his hand. “Nothing of this is your fault.”

“Yes it is.” He lifted his head to look up at his brother. “I should have never let her get our trust. I should have make sure we leave as soon as possible, but I was blinded by her, and now we have to go back there. I failed to keep you safe.”

The clicking of the car door was ripping Jimin away from his brother. They were coming, and there was no chance they could escape one more time.

“Jimin!”

Jimin shot up from the bed. His normally fluffy, dark hair was now wet and sticky from his sweat, clinging onto his forehead. His heart was beating so fast, he was scared that it would jump out of his chest soon, ad his hands were shaking.

“Jimin!”

When he heard Tae’s voice coming from the darkness again, he quickly turned his head around, just to see him sitting next to him. A small lamp was lighting up the room behind him, and when he realized that they were still in the apartment of the girl, he felt his heart skip a beat out of relief.

“Jimin, are you okay?” Tae crawled closer, laying his hands on Jimin’s shoulders. “You mumbled ‘no’ and strange words over and over again, and you are sweating like crazy.”

Jimin, who was still shocked from his dream, just stared at Tae, before the tears the tears were sliding down his face. He threw himself into his brothers arms, pulling him close and holding him for a few minutes, while telling him about his dream.

He felt Tae’s body stiffen, as he told him everything he had seen in his dream. He knew that it wasn’t reality, but the experienced felt so real to him anyway.

“I would never let anyone hurt you again, Chim.” Tae eventually whispered into the smaller boy’s hair, wrapping his arm tighter around his slim body. “Never.”

Jimin needed another 10 minutes to finally calm down again. He pulled away from his brother, looking him into the eyes. Both of them knew that the other one was thinking, the dream was just a reminder on that.

“You know that we will have to leave, Jimin?” Tae said in an almost stern tone, trying to cover his emotions.

Jimin had known his brother for long enough. Tae was struggling to deal his emotions or to open up about them. He would rather keep them to himself so no one could hurt him.

“I know that, Tae.” He whispered back, squeezing the black tiger hand under the soft duvet.

He mind drifted again. He would miss the soft fabric of the bed. They never asked her to give them this much comfort. All they asked for was that she helped healing Tae’s arm. Jimin would have slept on the floor, he would have starved himself if it was what it would have cost them to make Tae healthy again.

But Hope offered the so much more. She gave them food, a bed and a safe place to stay for that period of time. Not once had she asked for anything in return, which made Jimin sometimes feel bad, because he didn’t want her to think that they weren’t thankful for her help. They were. Both of them.

“But where do we go?” He almost didn’t dare to speak it out loud, too scared of the answer. “We have nowhere to go.”

The younger tiger closed his eyes for a few seconds, nodding his head in response.

“We will hide somewhere.” He eventually replied. “We will be carefully, Jimin. No one will catch us, I promise. Do you remember that old building we stay for a couple of weeks after we escaped?”

Jimin nodded. They had found an abandoned house with a couple of furniture left. It was not comparable to this apartment, but it was more than that old parking garage they stayed in before Hope had found them. There had even been some blankets left, which were good to hold out the cold from the winter air.

Sadly, they couldn’t stay long. One day, they had been surprised by people coming up, looking all over the house, talking about something like ‘renovating’ or something. They had seen the traces both tigers had left and had immediately called the police, forcing Jimin and Taehyung to leave and look for something else to stay.

“I saw many abandoned buildings in that area.” Taehyung continued to talk. “They even had a small supermarket there. Every day in the evening, they throw away a lot of left overs into the trash bins behind the building. If we are careful, we can take something from there.”

Jimin didn’t say anything. He just nodded at his brother’s suggestion, knowing that there was no other option for them. He would miss the delicious meals Jin would make in the evenings. He even helped preparing them a few times.

Jin was the oldest one around here. Jimin was amazed by his cooking skills and his way of talking. The Leopard had given him a welcoming feeling from the first day they met. But also when he got to know the bunny Hybrid more and more, it had felt right. He couldn’t blame Jungkook for his concerns about the two tigers. Jimin would probably be reacting the same way.

“Hey, Jimin.” Taehyung turned Jimin by his shoulders, forcing him to look into his eyes as he put his forehead against Jimin’s. “I will not let anything happen to us again. We will be okay. I promise.”

“Do you really have to leave, Hope?” Jungkook whined as he dropped his ears beside his head. “Can’t you just write your professor an email or something?

The small girl stopped fiddling with the strap of her bag, before she turned around a gave Jungkook the ‘are you serious’ look, slightly shaking her head.

“I am sorry, Kookie.” She said as she swung the bag over her shoulder, looking back at the four boys that were standing in front of her. “I need to discuss this with him in person. But I will be back soon, I promise.”

She made a step forward and stepped up to her tippy toes, before she presses a quick kiss to the bunny’s cheeks. Immediately, Jungkook felt his face redden at this innocent gesture.

“The last time you said this, you came back with those two.” The bunny muttered, slightly pointing behind him with is thumb, where a clearly annoyed Taehyung just rolled his eyes.

The girl just smiled but ignored his comment. She went over to Jin and gave him a small hug as well, before she carefully waved at Jimin and Taehyung. The white tiger was the only one who happily waved back at her, while his brother just rolled his eyes again.

“I will be back soon.” She said and stepped outside. “Alone.”

She had turned back and said the last part directly into Jungkook’s direction, before she slightly waved again and closed the door to go to university.

When the door fell shut with an loud tuck, the apartment suddenly fell in salience, as the four boys stood awkwardly in front of the door. No one said anything, everyone was just staring at each other, as it was the first time they had seen each other.

Indeed, it was the first time for Jungkook that he actually saw Taehyung properly for the first time. Before, he had only seen him when Jimin and him had been here for the very first time, but the bunny had been too busy processing everything so there had been no time to look at him properly.

Taehyung objectively was a beautiful man. He had natural, wavy brown hair that fell fluffily over his forehead, almost covering his eyes. On top of them, there was set a pair of deep black ears, that even had a small patch of white fur at the tip. His deep brown eyes matched his hair, and with his straight nose and fully lips, he looked like a model. He even got that annoyed look all the time.

Jimin was not much different, beside that he was smiling way more often than his brother and the pair of snow white ears with a black tip. Jungkook actually like Jimin. The white tiger was fun to hang out with. Him and Jungkook had played a few video games together, and Jungkook had to admit that it was nice to have some other friends beside his brother.

The tension in the room seemed to increase with every second. None of them knew what to say to each other, because usually, it was Hope who would start a conversation. But Hope was not here in the moment.

“Hmm.” Jin cleared his throat, before he hesitantly looked at Jungkook, giving him the behave-look. Then back towards the other two Hybrids, smiling at them. “I will go and prepare something for lunch. Don’t make a mess here.”

The oldest boy turned around and walked into the kitchen, leaving the three young boys alone in the living room. Jungkook watched as his body disappeared in the kitchen, before he turned back and looked at Taehyung and Jimin, who were just looking as confused as himself.

“What – What are we going to do now?” Jungkook asked, rather talking to Jimin than towards Taehyung.

Jimin slightly scratched his neck, as his gaze flickered over towards the small table in front of the TV, where two controllers were laying.

“Can we – “ He hesitantly begin. “Can we play that game on the TV again? It was fun when we played it the other day.”

Jungkook just nodded in silence, before he moved over and dropped himself onto the sofa. Jimin quickly followed him and sat down next to him, before his gaze moved back towards his brother who was still standing at the same spot. The white tiger gestured him with is hand to come over as well.

Taehyung just rolled his eyes again, but he eventually walked towards the sofa, standing crossed arms next to it. He looked with cocked up eyebrows as Jungkook turned on the TV.

“What are you doing?” He asked suddenly, his tone held a small hint of curiousness.

“This is fun, Tae.” Jimin said happily, as he took a controller. “With those controllers we can make car races. Look.”

Jungkook watched as Taehyung looked wide eyed at the TV screen where now many cars were racing over the rode. Inside himself, he chuckled at the black tiger, knowing how confusing those human things were when seeing it for the first time. He remembered the first time Hope had turned on the TV and those yellow, funny figures had appeared. Of course, he had seen a TV before, but never had he been watching it before.

Jimin next to him was already absorbed in the game. He moved both of his thumbs wildly over the buttons, sticking his tongue out at the same time. Taehyung at the other hand was absorbed in the game as well. His mouth hung open slightly, as he carefully sat himself down at the edge of the sofa, never taking his eyes off of the TV screen. In that moment, it was the first time that Jungkook didn’t see a grumpy or annoyed expression on his face.

Jimin and Jungkook continued playing their car race for several more rounds, warming up more and more to each other. They laughed together when one of them drove his car into the ditch, or when the pushed each other around the roads. Even Taehyung sometimes cheered for Jimin when he was about to win a round, completely forgetting their incidents with each other over the past days.

“Do you want to try it too, Tae?” Jimin asked after the 8th round, holding his controller out towards his brother.

The black tigers eyes flickered from Jimin’s hand towards Jungkook, before he carefully nodded. He moved over next to his brother, taking the controller out of his hands. Jimin was already explaining him how to use all the buttons.

When the black tiger was ready, Jungkook pushed the ‘start’ icon and the race started. Immediately, the loud and wild clicking of pushed buttons was the only thing that could be heard in the room. The game was no longer about an innocent car race. Both Hybrids were rather triggered to win against the other one in proof to be stronger. What none of the realized, that they were unwillingly laughing together all along.

“I won!” Jungkook yelled when his car raced over the finish line.

He threw the controller next to him on the sofa, before he turned his head towards the black tiger, sticking playfully out his tongue. Taehyung just rolled his eyes and breath out hardly, not being able to hide the small grin that played on his lips.

“This is because I let you win.” He said, laying the controller next to him as well. “I didn’t know that human things can be this much fun.”

He crossed his arms and leant back against the soft cushions, flickering his eyes around the room. Suddenly, his gaze held no longer that happy look but once again, his eyes sparkled with arrogance.

“Tell me, bunny.” He said, looking Jungkook into the eyes, cocking his eyebrows up. “Does that girl let her pets do all human things, or are you only allowed to turn the TV on and off.”

Jungkook pressed his eyes together at the black tiger’s words.

“Her name is Hope, and we are not her pets.” He hissed at Taehyung. “We can do anything we want to do.”

“Aww, how cute.” Taehyung fake-awed. “Are you defending your human girl? Do you like her that much?”

Jungkook’s heart skipped a beat when the black tiger mentioned that topic. He slightly clenched his fists, pressing his ears flat towards his head. It was not the way Taehyung was calling him ‘pet’, but it was that he was talking about Hope in the respectless way which made him mad.

“Stop calling her that.” He pressed through clenched teeth. “She gave us anything we could have ever asked for. She gave you anything without questioning it for one second, but you do nothing but being respectless towards her. Do you think I didn’t see how you are always showing off your fangs towards her?”

The smirk on the black tiger’s face suddenly dropped.

“You are always trying to scare her away, but I never said anything because she didn’t want me to make you feel uncomfortable.” He continued and by now even Jin was looking out of the kitchen. “You are threatening her and still, she treats your arm. You are growling at her and still, she came to us crying, telling us that she doesn’t want you to go, because she is worried about your safety. But you don’t care you are just talking about her as if…”

Jungkook kept rambling, not noticing that the two tigers’ faces were speechless from what he was telling them. They looked at the bunny with eyes and open mouths until he finished his monologue. When he did, the room was silent again.

“Does – Does she really want us to stay?” Jimin asked after a few minutes of silence, fiddling with the hem of his shirt.

It was just now that Jungkook realized what he just had told them. They actually were not supposed to hear that from him, because Hope wanted to tell them by herself when she thought it was the right time. Well, now the cat was out of the bag.

The girl took a deep breath, before she carefully knocked at the door.

She had been out to discuss her term papers with her professor who was the first one that had been allowed to read them before the committee would. He had told her that he had proofed her terms for any holes that could possibly be a risk for passing that final hurtle, but he had said that it was bulletproof.

When she had come home a few hours ago, she had found the apartment in some kind of a mess. Jimin and Taehyung had been in their room again, while Jin had admonish Jungkook at the dining table in the living room.

When she had asked them what had happened, Jungkook had been near to cry when he told her what he had done. He was blaming himself that it had slipped out of his mouth when they had their small fight a few hours before she had come home.

She was not mad at him though. They would have found out at some point anyway, and that’s how she found herself in front of Taehyung’s and Jimin’s door, hoping to get the chance to talk to them again.

She waited a few more seconds when there was no answer, before she knocked again. Still, there was no answer from inside the room.

“Taehyung, Jimin?” She carefully pushed the door knob and opened the door, not waiting for another answer.

When she peaked her head around the door, she spotted both tigers sitting on the bed together, but something was wrong. Through the silent room, she heard small sobs coming from the bed. She immediately knew it was Jimin.

Though, no one had allowed her to step in, she took a step forward, pushing the door open with a small squeaking sound, making Taehyung’s head shot around. His exes formed to small slits, before he shot up from the bed, facing the girl directly.

“You don’t need to kick me out.” He hissed through clenched teeth. “I will be gone by this evening.”

Hope didn’t know what to response to that. Hadn’t Jungkook told them that they could stay? Why would they think that she would kick them out all the sudden? Jimin’s small sobs ripped her out of her thoughts.

She decided to ignore Taehyung’s statement for now, before she made her way over to the sobbing white tiger who was still sitting on the bed.

“Jimin.” She almost whispered, carefully laying her hand on his. The boy’s hand twitched for a moment, but he didn’t pull away, as he kept on keeping his head sunk low. “Jimin, why are you crying?”

Jimin sighed slightly, before he lifted his other hand to whip off the stains of tears from his cheeks, before he eventually lifted his gaze.

“I am so sorry.” He whispered, still sniffing slightly. “We never wanted to make you feel uncomfortable. Please, don’t make Tae go. I can’t be without him. Please.”

When Hope heard Jimin’s begs to not kick out his brother, her heart broke. She would never kick one of them out, while the other one was allowed to stay. She carefully wrapped an arm around the white tiger’s shoulder, pulling him close so that she could lean her head against his.

“No one will kick Taehyung out.” She said, feeling the tension falling off of the boy’s trembling body. The next part she spoke more towards the black tiger who was still next to the bed, watching the scene in front of him closely. “Taehyung, I know we hadn’t had the best start, but you don’t have to go and neither does Jimin. We can figure things out of you want, so please, stay with us.”

Taehyung’s eyes flickered between the girl and his brother, before his ears dropped in shame. He loved his head and carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, still keeping his distance between the girl and him.

“I am – “ He cleared his throat, his deep voice was holding a tone of shame. “I am sorry that I threatened you.”

He didn’t look up at her, as he fiddled with the hem of his shirt. Hope knew that he meant what he said. There was not a single hint from arrogance or irony in his tone.

“I – I just wanted to protect us.” He began to say again, looking up this time. “I – when we fled from those people, I promised myself that I will always protect us from any human, and I was so – so confused when you suddenly helped us. I thought you had some bad intentions, and that you would hurt us again at some point. I never wanted to hurt your or Jin or Jungkook.”

Hope could image how hard it was for the boy to bring up some trust against her. Humans had hurt them so many times, they had misused their trust and now, they were stock up with a human girl they didn’t knew at all. It would take time for them to trust her fully, and also for her and her boys to trust them.

It was also the first time that she noticed that Taehyung had actually called Jin and Jungkook by their real names. Another proof that he really meant what he was saying. She was still rubbing slight circles on Jimin’s back who had stopped his crying meanwhile and was instead looking at the girl wide eyed.

“And you did a good job doing that.” She smiled slightly at the black tiger. “Look, you both are all safe and sound here. No one will hurt you again, because now, you are with us. We protect each other.”

Taehyung nodded at her words, still trying to process what she was saying. He looked like he was about to cry, but was trying to hold it back at any costs. Hope carefully laid her hand palm up onto the space on the bed between them, hoping that he would take it. The black tiger looked at her for a few seconds, before he finally laid his hands on hers, squeezing it carefully.

It was a first step into the right direction for the three of them. They all had to get used to living with each other, but Hope had no doubts, it would turn out for good at some point.

“Thank you – Hope.” Taehyung whispered, squeezing her hands once again.
