โYou two are crazy,โ you scoffed, before taking another sip of your brightly coloured cocktail. It was Minhoโs birthday celebration, albeit two days later than the actual birthday, but it was the weekend and easier for your schedules to align for a night out.ย
โCome on, bubs, weโre serious,โ Seungmin said, pushing his elbows forward and inching closer to you. It was odd of the pair of them to sit together and not fight for the seat beside you on the booth, but now youโve understood they had an ulterior motive tonight. Trying to rope you into their craziness.ย
โI have no issues with not having sex,โ you start, shaking your head at Minhoโs brow raise, โyou both know thatโs not the thing I care about here.โ
โExactly,โ Seungmin grinned. โYou love us and not our monster diโโ
โโshush!!โ You quickly urged him, watching your waitress approach your table to check on your service. You order six more shots.ย
โI donโt understand the game, then,โ you looked between them, eyeing them suspiciously.ย
โWe were talking about it, and I think out of the three of us Seungminnie is least likely to make it,โ Minho explained.ย
โBut Iโm a virgo,โ
โBut heโs a virgo,โ you both echoed. Minho rolled his eyes with a small fond smile on his face, shaking his head.ย
โYes, thereโs that. And we kept going back and forth about it so we thought we should just try it and see who actually makes it a whole month.โย
โThis is incredibly stupid,โ you decide, quickly shutting your mouth when the waitress arrives with your shots. You take one immediately and down it.ย
โYouโve done stupider things,โ Seungmin said, leaning back in his chair. Heโs close to admitting defeat, you can tell. And so can Minho, so he turns his full attention to you and grabs your hands.ย
โItโll be so fun, come on. Imagine how frustrated the puppy will get when he keeps trying to hump ourโโ
โโhey!โ Seungmin slapped Minhoโs shoulder, earning an endeared giggle from the older.ย
โWhy do you two wanna do it so bad?โ You squinted at Minho, watching as he fixes his gaze on yours in determination.ย
โBecause I wanna be right,โ he rubs his thumb against your hand. โI think heโll crack first, and then you. And then me.โย
โI will last a whole month. Maybe even two.โย
โBubs, this isnโt just no sex with us. This is no touching at all. Nothing,โ Seungmin tries.ย
โNo kissing even?โ You squeak.ย
โYes kissing!โ Minho practically yells, squeezing your hand tightly. He looks between the pair of you, alarmed as his bunny teeth peek out of his gasp. โDefinitely lots of kissing!โย
Seungmin laughs almost evilly at the pair of you, his bangs hiding his eyes slightly as he shakes his head.ย
โSo just no sexual stuff,โ you try to clarify. โThatโs too easy.โ
โThen letโs do it!โ Minho exclaimed, grabbing one of the two shots placed in front of him and downing it with a dramatic head swing.ย
Seungmin rolls his eyes before downing one of his pair.ย
โI feel like you two are up to something,โ you say, tapping your fingers against Minhoโs palm. Seungmin scoffs.ย
โWhy would we be up to something, bubs?โย
โYeah, bunny,โ Minho blinks innocently, โwhat would we be up to?โย
You scrutinise Minhoโs ears, studying them carefully for any sign of rednessโbut the ambience is relaxed and luxurious around you, which for whatever reason means thereโs barely enough light to tell if Minhoโs ears are telling the truth or not.ย
โHey,โ Seungmin grabs your arm, squeezing softly, โletโs just forget about it, then. Hyung and I thought it would be funny but if you donโt want to then thereโs nothing to discuss.โย
โIโll think about it,โ you conclude.ย
Itโs then you remember the other round of shots you each have waiting in front of you, and gesture to your boyfriends for a cheers. You dedicate it to Minhoโs birthday before clinking your glasses together. Then, after three more rounds, Minho decides heโs ready for the club.ย
Itโs packed full of people, Minhoโs arm protectively wrapping around your stomach as he shields you from behind. Seungmin holds your hand tightly in front you, the three of you single file as he pushes through the sea of party goers. Itโs just the last Saturday of October, it shouldnโt be so busy, but Minho says he wants to stay so the three of you stay.ย
Seungmin pushes all the way to the very heart of the dance floor where the bass is so loud you feel it in your ribcage. You can barely see anything around youโbodies pushing you from one side to the other, but you know itโs safe since Minho is completely behind you. Like your personal shield.ย
You tug Seungminโs hand, pulling him closer to you until he stumbles, Minhoโs other arm reaching for Seungminโs spare one.ย
The three of you start dancing along to whatever overplayed club tune is on, so close no one could possibly separate you. So close you feel Minhoโs hardness against your ass. You couldnโt exactly classify it as dancing, at least not by any standards Minho would allow. Youโre basically just grinding on each other in time with the music. Itโs a very fast song.ย
โSeung,โ you have to yell in his ear, โheโs gonna get needy if we keep dancing like this.โย
Seungmin, always quick to solve problemsโor indeed, make them worseโgrabs Minho by the back of his head and kisses him as messily as he possibly can. The grip on your hip tightens, and even the music isnโt loud enough to drown out Minhoโs deep moan. You arenโt actually sure if you heard it or you could feel it vibrating against you but soon Minho grabs your jaw and starts kissing around it, Seungmin attaching his lips to yours.ย
The three of you arenโt the biggest participants of PDA, mainly because of the judgemental eyes that it brings with it, but the veil of alcohol and club induced horniness means you know you can get away with it here. Besides, itโs so dark and incredibly loud that no one is really paying attention to the three of you anyway.ย
You feel Minho sucking onto your skin, your senses clouded by Seungminโs tongueโbut Minhoโs hands are obviously inchining higher and higher, getting dangerously close to your chest.ย
โMin,โ you let out softly, detaching yourself from Seungmin for only a moment to let out your weak sounding warning.ย
โLetโs get the fuck out of here,โ Minho grumbles, grabbing Seungmin and you by the wrist as he pushes his way outside.ย
A very tense taxi ride back, and almost two hours of worshipping the birthday boy laterโthe three of you fall on the bed, naked and sweaty and spent.ย
As the one with the most working limbs, itโs your turn to get water and snakes and warm clothes to change into. You quickly wrap yourself up in your fuzzy robe before running to the kitchen. You grab two bottles and the fruit Minho cut up before you left โjust in caseโ as if you werenโt all aware your evening would end the way it did.ย
When you returned, hands full, you saw a rare tenderness shared between your boyfriends you donโt often get to see.ย
Theyโre too often caught up in their fake bickering and inability to show their feelings that it can be easy to forget just how much they love each other.ย
You try not to make too much noise, not to disrupt their bubble as you watch Seungmin, a love sick puppy look in his eyes as he combs Minhoโs sweaty hair back from his face, before he leans down to kiss him ever so softly.ย
Minho barely moves, which is expected after what the pair of you did to him, and smiles softly against Seungminโs full lips. You feel your heart bursting at the sight of them, so wrapped up with each other, and it gets harder and harder not to join them. Not to mention your full hands.ย
You slowly sit down on the bed, Minhoโs fingers blindly reaching for your hand and you wrap your fingers around his once you put all your items to the side. You were going to grab clothes too but Minho isnโt going to let go of your hand any time soonโso you simply admire the scene, your boyfriends exchanging soft kisses.ย
โHyungie,โ Seungmin giggles after a few minutes, โyou canโt fall asleep yet.โย
โButโโ he puckers his lips up, perfectly pillowy as he demands more kisses. His eyes are closed shut, a small muted whine leaving him as heโs left kissless for more than two seconds. Seungmin looks up at you with his signature shit eating grin and gestures for you to give him an apple slice, promptly shoving it into Minhoโs puckered up lips.ย
Minho only opens his eyes for a moment to recognise whatโs been shoved into his lips, before he obediently gets to eating his fruit with his eyes still shut.ย
Seungmin gestures to the water bottle, telling you in sign language heโd like to dunk all of it on the incredibly peaceful Minho below him. You laugh loudly before crossing your hands in an X.ย
Minho silently demands more, and you have to sit him up this time to properly eat and hydrate, and the three of you finish all the fruit and water in relative silence.ย
Itโs only after youโve washed and dressed (and Seungmin changed the sheets) that Minho speaks up.ย
โThat was a really good birthday,โ he mumbles, incredibly tired now that most of the adrenaline wore off.ย
โYouโre gonna be really sore tomorrow though,โ Seungmin chuckles, ignoring the pout Minho sends his way.ย
You giggle, agreeing with Seungmin before you wrap your arms around his middle and promptly fall asleep.ย
Seungmin makes your coffee the way you like it the next morning. Minho is still asleep and you decide you donโt want to disturb him yet.ย
The pair of you listen to the news for a bit and then put on a rerun of a variety show before you speak up halfway through the episode. Seungmin quickly lowers the volume.ย
โWe should do it,โ you say, sipping from your lukewarm coffee.ย
โDo what?โย
โYour stupid no sex for a month pact,โ
โWas the sex that bad last night?โ He blinks at you, mouth gaped and perfectly round.ย
โMaybe it was just that good that you broke my cunt and I need a month off,โ you raise your eyebrows at him.ย
Seungmin starts to smirk just as a grumbled voice says, โyeah, me too. Never touch me again, Kim Seungmin.โย
Minho crashes on the chair next to yours, groaning as he sits down, before nuzzling his face into your shoulder.ย
โSo you two agree I have a monster dโโ
โSeung!โ You both yell out.ย
*
November 28thย
The boys have been away for weeks.ย
They didnโt quite consider the pact they made was perfectly timed with their packed schedule and so there was no real way for you to break it anyway. Even if you were to resort to the classic solution of phone sex, they rarely had time.ย
There was always a good night text, and a good morning selfie, and the unappealing close ups of Minhoโs food for the day. Your group chat was still as active as ever with the boys exchanging stories and you sharing all your personal gossip with them.ย
But there was no time to think about the bet.ย
That was until they came back home two days ago.
You were doing perfectly fine before they had to be in your house every day, sharing your bed, walking around with just a towel after their morning showers.ย
Both of them were incredibly irritating that wayโexisting next to you without instigating anything, without sharing tender kisses with you while they touched your body.
You meant what you said then, of course the sexual aspect of your relationship wasnโt a top priority but there was an intimacy you craved with your boyfriends that you always felt during sex and with them being gone for work for the better part of a month, it was the first thing you wanted when they came back.ย
But you stayed strong, you wouldnโt let yourself be the one to lose.ย
Last night you fell asleep before the boys even came back home, but at some point you felt hands around your shoulders and a knee against yours and so you knew they were back with you.ย
And in the morning after blinking your eyes open, you were met with Minhoโs beautiful face. You smiled softly to yourself, a content sigh leaving your chest as you snuggled closer to your boyfriend. The other side of the bed was empty, but you could hear a faint melody coming from the shower, so you knew Seungmin was awake and well, too.ย
After spending the morning cuddling with a half sleeping MinhoโSeungmin only annoying you once when he walked over and kissed your shoulder in greeting, before shaking his wet hair all over the pair of youโyou had to get up to do some errands around town.ย
Your boyfriends offered to come with you but you insisted they shouldnโt, after all, Minho could barely keep his eyes open for more than ten minutes and Seungmin had a vocal lesson in an hour. You didnโt want them to go out of their way for you when you needed to take care of boring adult stuff anyway.ย
While you were still stuck in traffic, Seungmin sent you half a dozen pictures of Minhoโs sleeping face with a text that said โhelp me hide his corpseโ.ย
You knew Seungmin was obviously bored but you couldnโt possibly help him from so far away, instead you challenged him to a game of one on one trivia through an app you both liked.ย
At one point, when your phone said you were still thirty minutes away from home, Seungmin didnโt take his turnโso you concluded that either Minho woke up or Seungmin found something more interesting to do.ย
When you got back home half an hour later, you discovered exactly what it was that Seungmin found more interesting than your trivia game.ย
โIโm home!โ You announced as you walked in, quickly taking your shoes off and washing your hands. It was quiet in the house otherwise, and with the door to the bedroom closed you assumed they were both napping again. They always came home tired from their schedules and the mixture of jet leg so you tried your best to make a snack as quietly as possible.ย
But then you heard a moan.ย
โSeungminnie,โ Minho said softly through the walls, โso good.โย
You quickly snapped up from your chair, rushing towards the bedroom.ย
You had no doubt about what you heard (Minho was never good at volume control) but you still wanted to confirm it fully. Slowly, quietly, you opened the door to the bedroom. And there, sure enough, were your boyfriends half naked, kissing, their hands down each othersโ boxers.ย
They havenโt noticed you yet, Minho's eyes were closed in pure pleasure as Seungmin switched between kissing him and moaning against his cheek. You could see both their hands moving in sync as they jerked each other offโstill completely unaware you could see everything.ย
At least you won their stupid bet.ย
You always love being the centre of their attention, but watching them was a completely intoxicating experience. Getting to notice every little quirk of Minhoโs eyebrows as the pleasure took over him, watching Seungminโs uncaring facade disappear as he gets lost in the feeling his boyfriend provides. You could feel your wetness soaking through your clothes, you could feel the dull throb of arousal between your legsโbut you didnโt want to do anything other than watch them.ย You should probably make your presence known, but all you wanted to do was keep watching.
You could tell Minho was getting close since he scrunched his eyes shut and started whimpering out Seungminโs name, and you could tell Seungmin was close since he wasnโt making any noises at all, and you watched in awe as they sped up their movements.ย
โHyung, Iโm close,โ Seungmin whimpered out.ย
โMe too,โ Minho groaned. โTogether baby, okay?โย
You had to stop yourself from moaning out loud at their words, from gushing at the small kiss Minho pressed against Seungminโs lips before the pair of them groaned out together as they came.ย
Seungmin is the first to open his eyes, and he reaches for some wipes to help clean them both up. He smiles, soft, as he kisses Minhoโs cheek.ย
โDo you feel better, baby?โ He asked, barely above a whisper.ย
Minho smiles, one thin line, as he nods quickly before shutting his eyes and snuggling into Seungminโs chest.ย
They still havenโt noticed you.ย
โYou want to sleep more?โ Seungmin asks as he plants a kiss on the top of Minhoโs head.ย
โI wanna make dinner before Y/N gets back, sheโs probably gonna be hungry when she gets here.โ
You feel your heart speed up at the mention of your name, but they havenโt even looked in your direction yet. So you donโt move.ย
โOkay, letโs rest for a bit first,โ Seungmin concludes. Minho hums in agreement, moving closer to his chest and planting a small kiss on his heart.ย
โI donโt think sheโs been eating well while we were gone,โ Minho mumbles, โyou two are exactly the same. If I donโt cook itโs only takeout for your lazy asses.โย
โThatโs rude,โ you chuckle.ย
They both gasp, and Minhoโs eyes shoot right open as he realises what heโs heard.ย
โBubs!โ Seungmin yells. โH-how long have you been home?โย
โLong enough,โ you smile, as innocently as you can allow yourself, before making your way over to the bed. You sit on the edge of it trying your best to keep a serious face as the boys look at you slightly apprehensive.ย
They both sit up, moving away from each other as if to prove that definitely nothing happened between them two seconds ago.ย
โBut how long?โ Minho asks, eyes wide.ย
โI should ask you two the same thing, no?โ You tilt your head to the side, eyebrows high on your face.ย
Seungmin chuckles nervously, looking at Minho before looking back at you.ย
โNothing happened, you know. We were just cuddling,โ Minho is quick to say.ย
โRight,โ you nod, โof course.โย
โSeriously, bubs, itโs was justโโย
โโyou two cumming at the same time?โ They both let out a sigh of defeat, realising they canโt possibly lie to you since youโve seen it all unfold.ย
Minho shakes his head softly before reaching for your wrist. He rubs his thumb against the back of your hand before sighing softly.ย
โTruth is, we made the bet because we wanted to see how horny youโd get,โ Minho rolls his eyes, โbut it just made Kim Seungmin more unbearable than usual.โ
โLee Minho,โ he says quickly, โthat is not the truth.โ
โHe doesnโt even respect his elders,โ Minho mumbled at you, a disapproving frown on his lips. You roll your eyes before turning to Seungmin with a questioning raise of your brows.ย
โHyung got horny first,โ Seungmin corrects him.ย
โI did not,โ he retaliates.ย
โYou did. You dragged me to the dressing room after MuCore and youโโ Minho slaps his hand onto Seungminโs mouth, his upper lip curling in on itself as he tried his best not to yell too much at his boyfriend.ย
โIt was a frustrating day,โ Minho explains, trying to regain some of his pride back.ย
All you can do is laugh. โSo your plan to make me horny backfired on you?โ
They both nod. โI was embarrassed about it so we didnโt want to tell you, we thought weโd just let the month end and not bring it up again.โย
โHyung,โ Seungmin sighs. They share a look between themselves, something you canโt understand, before Seungmin turns to you. He plants a soft kiss on your cheek.ย
โIโm sorry we didnโt say anything. We had a lot of sex this month,โย
โLike, a lot,โ Minho agrees with a giggle.ย
โAnd we wanted to tell you! But we also thought it would be funnier if you cracked like Minho did.โ
โI told you guys it was a stupid idea,โ you grin.ย
โYouโre not mad we didnโt tell you?โ Seungmin asks, and Minho squeezes your hand tightly.ย
โNo,โ you shrug, โitโs not like you did anything wrong. You just proved that Iโm the best out of the three of us,โ you giggleโlaughing harder when Seungminโs mouth gaps.ย
โSo itโs all good? Weโre fine?โ Minho asks.ย
You hum softly. โYou had a lot of sex this month, right?โ They nod. โAnd I havenโt had any at all.โ
โTrue,โ Minho starts playing with your fingers, a small smirk forming on his lips.ย
โSo we need to balance the scales a little, donโt you think?โย
โOh, definitely,โ Seungmin nods eagerly, jumping forward to grab your hips and plant you firmly on his lap.ย
Instantly, Minho straddles Seungminโs knees, wrapping his arms around your middle. Seungmin grabs your jaw, crashing his tongue against yours as you moan into his mouth. You didnโt realise just how much you were craving your boyfriends touch until that very second you received it and then your whole body lit on fire with the longing you had for them.ย
You didnโt even need to ask for more, as before your brain could even tell your tongue to use words, Minho was taking off your shirt and bra. He cups your tits, pinching and twisting your nipples as you moan loudly.ย
A month without touching yourself, days of your lovers cuddling up to you in your sleep, and then watching them cum at the same time has all caused you such extreme horny brain fog you didnโt even know what to do with yourself or how to react. All you could do was throw your head back onto Minhoโs shoulder and let your hips chase the pleasure you craved against Seungminโs lap.ย
โSeungminnie,โ Minho coaxed softly, โcan you suck on bunnyโs tits for us?โย
Seungmin eagerly nods, his hair jumping with the motion before he wraps his full lips around your nipple. Minho kisses your shoulder before he runs a hand through Seungminโs hair with a soft, โgood job.โย
Seungminโs lips sent waves of pleasure up and down your body, an aching throb shaking against your core as you grow more and more desperate. Luckily, neither one of them is in any position to make fun of you or hold it against you. In fact, theyโre both so eager to keep making you feel good.ย
Minho slips his hand into your underwear, quickly finding your clit and rubbing figure eights against it in a bruising pace.ย
You donโt think more than ten seconds pass before you grab Seungminโs hair tightly, and chant out that โIโm cumming, Iโm cumming, Iโm cumming.โย
Minho kisses your neck as it rushes over you, while Seungmin squeezes your thighs as they start shaking.ย
Your vision blurs for a moment or two before you refocus, and catch sight of a bewildered Seungmin wiping his lips.ย
โBubs that was so fucking quick,โ he sighs, amazed. โHow?โย
โMin, I need another one,โ is all you provide for an explanation.ย
Minho is quick to follow his orders and resumes his previous pace as he rubs your clit again. It takes a few seconds longer and Seungmin notices, so he quickly gets back to teasing your tits for the extra stimulation youโd need. It doesnโt take long after that, and although your walls flutter around emptiness itโs so much better than not cumming at all. You moan loudly as it hits your entire body.ย
Minho plants kisses all around your face as you catch your breath, but you donโt even care about breathing. You mumble out, โmore.โ
โMy turn this time!โ Seungmin rushes out, pulling your underwear off and softly rubbing your sensitive clit.ย
Minho leaves you with a firm kiss before he lays back down next to Seungmin, watching your face with laser focus.ย
โYouโve been waiting for this, bunny?โ He says lowly. You nod quickly as you make no effort to stop the broken moans tumbling out your chest. โYour cunt has been so eager for us, huh?โย
โM-Min, Iโll fucking cum againโโ Seungmin applies more pressure to your clit, rubbing as hard and as fast as he can before you fall forward with the impact of another orgasm.ย
โHoly fuck,โ you say once you catch your bearings.ย
โThat was fun,โ Seungmin grins. โWant more, bubs?โย
โYeah, yes,โ you moan, still aching for more as your clit throbs, โwant something inside me.โย
The boys exchange a look before Minho rubs your shoulder. He drags you off Seungminโs lap, slowly, before he places you between the pair of them.ย
He makes sure to spread your legs as you get comfortable on your back.ย
โIโm not ready yet,โ he says with a small kiss to your temple, โthink my fingers will be enough?โย
โPlease,โ you nod.ย
โIโm not ready either,โ Seungmin says while lacing his fingers with yours, โbut since my hand is much bigger wouldnโt you prefer my fingers?โย
โI-I-I,โ is all you manage to stutter out, your brain too slow after three orgasms. You donโt even know who theyโre trying to tease, you or the other, but thereโs only one thing on your mind. โI just wanna cum.โ
โBut you already did, my pretty bunny,โ Minho brushes your lips together softly, โare you gonna be so greedy that youโll ask for both our fingers for a fourth orgasm?โย
โHow many times has Seung made you cum in the past month?โ You manage to accuse.ย
โAbout fifteen? fourteen?โ Minho shrugs.ย
โThen you owe me twelve more,โ you whine.ย
Minho nods slowly, blinking a few times before he smiles. โMine or Kim Seungminโs?โย
โBoth,โ you groan, โjust take turns I donโt care.โย
โFuck thatโs demanding,โ Seungmin chuckles dryly. โGuess we do owe her, though.โย
โGuess we do,โ Minho shrugs.ย
Seungmin leans down to kiss your neck softly and you feel his hand sliding up your thigh, slowly circling your entrance before sinking inside you. The stretch feels so good it echoes to your thighs and you moan loudly as it deepens. You feel Minhoโs fingers crawl up your thigh before your walks tighten as more slips inside you. You blink your eyes open to see it was in fact both of them.ย
โFuck fuck fuck fuck,โ you sob out as you feel six fingers inside you, a loud and wet noise accompanying their movements as they slide their fingers in and out, perfectly synchronised with each other.ย
โMinho-hyung made me cum twenty times, so we owe you thirty two all together,โ Seungmin says simply.ย
You clench tightly at those words, at your boyfriendsโ promise, and they both smirk at each other when they feel it.ย
It was a long evening after that, the boys insisting on going until you had to tap out and say you couldnโt take anymore. They kissed you softly and apologised again but you told them they were certainly forgiven. You didnโt even actually need twenty nine more orgasms from them. But they insisted that was the only way to make it up to you that they even suggested such a silly bet just to get a reaction out of you.ย
Minho does eventually feed you, and Seungmin brushes your hair after your shared shower, and they promise to keep kissing you until you fall asleep.
They never break any of their promises to you, and by the second week of December their debt is cleared too.

โ๏ธย mlist +ย an. there's just something about Hyuck
1:ย Friday
โI just donโt see why you wonโt let me come visit you while youโre at work,โ you sigh, looking your brother up and down while you cross your arms over your chest. โAnd before you even open your mouth to tell me that โitโs not a fun clubโ or โitโs not always safe,โ Iโll have you know that itโs a top rated hybrid friendly bar, and also that it will be safer for me and my friends because you work there-โ
โI just really donโt think itโs a good idea,โ Mark groans, rubbing at the back of his neck.ย
โWell, too bad,โ you say defiantly. โYour friends keep saying I should stop by, and that wolf dude youโve been bringing over invited me too-โ
โYuta did?โ Now youโve grabbed Markโs attention, and he stops in his tracks on the way to the door. He gets finicky about being to work on time, but it seems that the mention of his new โfriendโ is enough to trump his bunny hybrid time anxieties.ย
โUh huh,โ you confirm. โYou went down to the lobby to get our dinner delivery and he mentioned that itโs odd heโs never seen me around before- something about me already knowing Jeno and Jaemin, and the club always being in need of good little bunny hybrids, with our sensitive noses.โ
โWell thatโs the last time I invite Yuta over-โ Mark groans for the umpteenth time. โLook, I just really donโt think itโs a good place for you.โ
โMark, you know how hard it can be for hybrids like us to get good jobs in this town.โ
โWho said my job is a good job?โย
โThe paycheck you get every month, and the tips, thatโs who.โ You take a deep breath. โLook- money is still kind of tight- can you imagine how good it would be if we could both be working? I hate to say it Mark, but Iโm pretty sure Iโd get more tips than you could working at a bar.โย
โIโm just-โ Mark shakes his head, โyouโd get eaten alive in there.โ
โNot with you hovering around- and Jenoโs a doberman, he could protect me!โ Your brother doesnโt look convinced so you go for a hybrid even higher on the food chain than the puppy you often find yourself enthralled with; โYuta seems like a good guy.โ
โWolves eat bunnies in the wild,โ Mark reminds you, โdonโt forget about that part.โ
From the vibes Yutaโs given off the two or so times youโve met him, you can confirm that the wolf definitely wants a piece of your bunny hybrid brother- โLet me come by tonight,โ you say again, โjust to see what itโs like.โ
โSomething tells me youโre going to do what you want even if I say no,โ Mark sighs, picking up his keys and testing them in the palm of his hand. โIf you and your friends really want to see the club tonight- just invite Jeno too, heโs not on shift, and Iโd feel better knowing heโs there with you.โ
โMark, itโs just a club, a club you work at- you shouldnโt be so worried about my safety.โ
โAnd you shouldnโt be so sure itโs a safe place for a bunny like you.โ
2: Friday con't
Although Jenoโs spent a few nights out with you and your friends, itโs always been with Mark and Jaemin hanging around too. Walking into his work place with a bengal cat, bunny and a fellow doberman hybrid - all three of whom are gorgeous girls - makes Jeno feel like heโs on top of the world, and he has to make a conscious effort to stop his tail from wagging with pride.
โThis place is so cool!โ you beam, grabbing onto Jenoโs arm as he leads you through the large open space bar. He likes the way you tuck into his arm, looking around with eyes full of bunny wonder - it had taken both Mark and Jaemin a few shifts to get used to all the lights, sounds and smells.
The happy doberman sometimes considers what it would be like to be a prey hybrid - someone at the bottom of the food chain - however, he doesnโt envy you.ย
On your left Yeji is grinning, already throwing flirty glances at a few men by the bar, and on Jenoโs right, Ryujin is walking with her hands in her pockets, a vision of doberman watchdog calmness.ย
โI thought you said this was a hybrid bar,โ Yeji comments, her cat ears flickering with interest, โIโm not seeing many hybrids.โ
Before Jeno can respond, youโre nodding. โIโd say less than half of the people here are like us.โย
He marvels at how quickly a prey hybrid like you can read a room for danger, and heโs shocked that you donโt know more about the way the club is run. โHasnโt Mark told you guys anything about this place?โ
โWhat do you mean?โ Ryujin asks, her gaze darting to him.
โThis is just the front room, humans and hybrids allowed. The real fun is in the back room, hybrids only.โ
โHybrids only?โ Your eyes have widened. โIs that allowed?โย ย
Jeno had asked the same question when heโd been hired, and his raven manager, a regal, intelligent man named Doyoung, had explained that with all the discrimination and segregation the hybrids had faced in the past- well, they all deserved a safe space too. Heโd also compared it to a gay bar, but Jenoโs not about to confuse you by making the connection himself.
โItโs legal,โ he assures you. โLook, thereโs Mark!โ
The doberman hybrid is always happy to see his bunny best friend, and Jeno almost forgets himself and lets go of you in favour of lumbering towards your brother- but your grip on his arm makes him be patient. When Mark catches his eye, Jeno can feel his tail wagging again, and an enthusiasm bubbles in his chest.ย
โYou guys came.โ Mark, on the other hand, doesnโt sound too enthusiastic, but he makes a visible effort to force a smile.
โOf course we came!โ Yeji beams, pulling Mark into a hug.
The bunny stiffens in the catโs grasp, and Jeno canโt help but grin. Mark used to have a pretty big crush on Yeji, and Jeno will be sure to put in a good word for him tonight.
โWell this is surprising.โ Jaehyun, the black lab hybrid on Markโs right, is looking the small group up and down. Jeno can feel himself deflate a little under his hyungโs gaze.
โTheyโre with me,โ Mark says quickly, letting out a small cough. โUh, this is my sister, and her two friends.โ
โI didnโt know you had a sister.โ Jaehyunโs eyes linger on you for a few moments.ย
โYeah, thereโs a reason for that,โ Mark sighs. โYou guys can all go in, but uh-โ he pulls Jeno to his side, lowering his voice, โthereโs a lot of Level Fours inside tonight, so try to be quick? I donโt want anyone to getโฆ overwhelmed.โ
By anyone, Mark clearly means you, and it warms Jenoโs heart to see his friend be so protective of his sister. โYou got it Mark,โ he nods, bringing two fingers up to his forehead in a mock salute. โIโll keep my eye on all three of our girls.โ
Yeji practically purrs at Jenoโs words, grabbing onto his arm as Jaehyun opens the door to let them into the back room of the club.ย
The doberman definitely feels like a big dicked dude now, walking into the hybrid only section of the bar with two pretty girls on his armsโฆ and Ryujin, of course.ย
โWhat did Mark mean when he said thereโs a lot of Level Fours here tonight?โ you ask, and it takes a moment for Jeno to properly register your question.
โOh uh- itโs a ranking system we have here.โ He clears his throat. โSo- prey hybrids like you and Mark are Level Ones, and the ranking goes up to Level Five. Basically, Mark was just letting me know we have a lot of Level Four big predator hybrids here tonight- wolves, bears, tigers- that sort of thing.โ
You open your mouth as if to ask more questions, but before any words can come out, Jenoโs attention is captured by one of his hot coworkers stationed at the bar.ย
โLetโs go get drinks,โ he announces. โFirst roundโs on me!โ
3: Friday con't
โI didnโt know Mark had a sister.โย
โWhat?โ Johnny looks up from his drink, leaning closer to Haechan to follow his gaze. โWho?โ
โThat girl with puppy boy Jeno.โ Haechan nods towards you.
โHow do you know sheโs Markโs sister?โ Johnny asks, taking a sip of his beer.
Haechan cocks his head ever so slightly, somewhat annoyed that even after all this time, he has to explain himself to a bear hybrid below his rank. โI can smell the family resemblance.โย
โYou can smell the family resemblance,โ Johnny repeats with a chuckle. โYour nose never ceases to amaze me. Itโs as good as any Level One hybridโs.โ
โAre we talking about Markโs sister?โ The wolf on Haechanโs other side leans in now too, and Haechan smirks at the way his most hardworking bunny employee has Yuta wrapped around his finger.
However, thereโs a familiarity in Yutaโs words that doesnโt exactly sit right with Haechan. โYou know her?โย
โMet her a few times now- and youโre right, thereโs something about the Lee bunnies,โ Yutaโs gaze darkens, โthey always smell particularly tasty.โย
โWhy have you never mentioned her before?โ Haechan can feel himself getting aggravated, he doesnโt like it when his friends keep things from him, especially not pretty little things like you. โAnd why isnโt she working here yet?โย
โSlow down-โ Yuta gives his head a small shake, and the slight pink tint to his skin tells Haechan heโs probably already had too many drinks. โIโm the one who told her to come visit- Mark has this thing about your club being dangerous-โย
โMy club?โ Haechan scoffs. โDangerous?โย
โYou know how easy it is to scare a bunny,โ Yutaโs grin widens wolfishly.ย
Haechan takes a moment to consider his options. โHow about you go buy a round for Markโs sister and her friends. On the house. As a welcome to our dangerous club.โย
โWhy canโt you do it yourself?โ Yuta asks, but heโs already pulling himself to his feet to follow through.
โLike you said,โ Haechan sighs, โbunnies scare easy. We all remember how Mark reacted when I met him for the first time.โ All three upper level hybrids let out laughter, but Haechanโs subsides quickly. โIโm not looking to scare her off. Iโll stay here, in VIP, for now- Iโm sure Iโll get to meet her sometime soon. Something tells me this little bunny will be back.โย
4: Friday con't
You smell the wolf before heโs even fully approached you, but you give him the grace of allowing him to sneak up on your rear as you stand by the bar.ย
โFunny seeing you again,โ Yutaโs voice is as smooth as ever.
You turn to look at him, taking in his white hair and pretty wolf ears. Heโs dressed in a simple dress shirt with black pants, and the outfit compliments his pretty ashy colouring. Sharp canines glint at you when he smiles.
โYou invited me to come see the club,โ you remind him. โHow could I pass this up?โ
Instead of responding, Yuta catches the eye of the bartender. โAnother round for me and my friends,โ he announces, โand one for Jeno too.โย
โYou donโt have to-โ
โItโs on the house,โ he assures you with a dismissive wave of his hand. Yutaโs gaze shifts past you to where Jeno and Ryujin are in a heated debate over some doberman hybrid thing- โI see you have two watchdogs tonight, and a kitty running around- they seem to like the place, but how do you feel being here?โย
โIs my anxiety that obvious?โ you laugh, running a hand over the back of your neck in an effort to calm yourself. Youโve been doing your best- but the bright lights, loud sounds and the smells of the club are a lot to get used to.
โDonโt forget who youโre talking to, little bunny,โ Yuta grins. โThe pretty scent of bunny fear only adds to your allureโฆ which is why most bunnies feel more comfortable in the general section, with humans- pretty prey hybrids like you are less inclined to come back here, where itโs a little moreโฆ dangerous.โย
You blink up at Yuta. โAm I really in that much danger?โ
โWith me here, youโre in no danger at all,โ the white wolf hybrid says, grabbing at the drink thatโs placed by his hand. Then he leans in, breath teasing by your throat, โhowever- I think everyone else might be in danger of becoming quite enamoured with you.โย
When he pulls away, his gaze lingers on your face, and you can feel your heart picking up speed in your chest.
Youโve heard about predator hybrids having prey fetishes- with bunnies being an often glorified play mate option- but youโve never truly witnessed it first hand, not like you have tonight.ย ย
You can feel your throat getting dry, and the power behind Yutaโs gaze makes you fold, eyes flickering down to your own drink. Youโre glad youโve only been ordering small cocktails, as theyโre much easier to drink than the beer in Yutaโs hand.
โThank you very much for the mojito,โ you say. โI hate to disappoint you, but I was actually just planning on finding my friend Yeji and getting out of here-โ
Like the perfect bengal kitty she is, Yeji appears a moment after you say her name, a pretty grin on her face. โYou called?โ
Sheโs looking Yuta up and down, and he returns her flirty gaze with one of his own.
โYeji, this is Yuta, he bought us a round,โ you hand her the gin and tonic the bartender had left by your hand, โheโs one of Markโs friends-โ
โOne of his bosses, actually.โย
This is news to you, and you falter a little, but Yeji takes the cup from your hand, teasing the straw past her lips. โMark never mentioned he had a cute wolf hybrid boss,โ she flirts.
โHe never mentioned he had a cute kitten for a friend either,โ Yuta returns Yejiโs smile, and you catch another glimpse of sharp teeth.
Before they can continue flirting, Jeno and Ryujin join the conversation, their own drinks in hand. โThe bartender said you got us a round?โ Ryujin asks in confusion.
โOh shit-โ Jeno runs a hand through his hair, cheeks flaring an even brighter shade of pink than they already were, โMister Nakamoto-โ
โMister Lee.โ The wolf in front of you nods to the two new doberman hybrids.
โYou really didnโt have to get us drinks-โ Jeno says sheepishly.
โLike I told our pretty bunny friend here,โ Yutaโs smile returns to you, โitโs on the house.โ
ย Thereโs a beat of silence where all four of you โlower level hybridsโ wait for the wolf to continue, then he lets out a sigh.ย
โY/N was just saying you should be leaving soon. I wonโt keep you. Enjoy your drinks, and I hope to see you three lovely ladies again sometime.โ
ย โYou bet,โ Yeji says dreamily.
With one final nod, Yuta leaves you be, and you watch him retreat towards the raised VIP section.ย
โOh my god-โ Jeno lets out a deep breath, huddling you all in closer, โthat was my boss-โ
โYeah, Mister Nakamoto,โ Ryujin teases, elbowing Jeno in the side gently.ย
โStop it!โ Jeno bats her arm away. โThat was so embarrassing- do you think it was obvious Iโm drunk?โ
โNo one could tell,โ Yeji plays it cool, but when she reaches out and pinches Jenoโs chin, her grin widens mischievously, โyouโre always this lovely pink colour.โ
โFuck-โ Jeno groans. โI need to get out of here-โ
You watch him finish his beer in three large gulps, and then youโre downing your own cocktail in record time.
The alcohol helps things become fuzzier. You can almost forget that youโre in a room filled with Level Four hybrids - as Mark would say - but when you look out at the crowd, youโre met with all sorts of dangerous eyes.
A tiger hybrid stares you down and you tear your gaze away, looking after Yuta-
Your heart lurches in your chest as you lock eyes with a man in VIP. Youโre at a distance, but you could swear his irises are red-
โCome on, y/n,โ Yeji tugs on your hand, โletโs go.โย
5: Saturday
Ushering a bratty wolf out of his apartment at 8 am isnโt something Mark wants to get used to any time soon, but itโs an obstacle heโs being more and more acclimated to as he pushes and shoves Yuta towards the door.
โNo breakfast?โ the white wolf questions- he always looks for any reason to stay.
โNo breakfast,โ Mark confirms. โYou have to get out before my sister wakes up.โ
Yuta flashes a toothy grin. โHate to break it to you Mark, but I'm pretty sure that sharp-eared bunny hybrid sister of yours heard us last night.โ
โWe were quiet-โ Mark tries to insist with a shake of his head, but the wolfโs smile only widens.
โSure you were, bunny boy.โย
โI was!โย
โWhat if you come out with me and we get breakfast somewhere else?โ Yuta suggests,ย
โJeez-โ Mark lets out a deep sigh, opening the door to his apartment, โyou act as if youโre not going to see me at work in twelve hours- just go!โย
With one last eye roll, Yuta steps over the threshold and into the hallway beyond. โDonโt be late, bunny boy.โ
โI wonโt be-โ
โMark?โ Your voice makes the bunny jump- usually heโs pretty good at tracking you with his ears, but heโd been so focused on getting Yuta out of the apartment that youโve been able to sneak up on him.
He closes the door in his boss's face, and the small chuckle that sounds from the hallway beyond is enough for Mark to know the wolf wonโt hold it against him.
โY/N!โ Mark swallows thickly, one hand moving to rub the back of his neck awkwardly. โYouโre awake early!โ
โI uhโฆ couldnโt sleep.โ
The way youโre looking at him tells Mark that you definitely heard him and Yuta last night, and the thought makes his skin flush with heat. He goes for a topic change, grasping at straws until heโs able to state; โGlad Jeno got you back home last night in one piece.โ
Now itโs your turn to sigh. โYour club didnโt give that many bad vibes- of course I got home alright.โ
โSpeaking of the club-โ Mark swallows thickly. โListen, I donโt know how I feel about this yet, but it would be against my morals not to mention it- Yuta told me last night that apparently you caught the eye of one of my managers? They said theyโd give me a raise or something if I โrecruitedโ you-โย
โOooh- which manager?โ
Mark can see interest in your eyes, and it makes his skin crawl. โYouโre not going to fuck one of my managers,โ he warns you.ย
โYouโre one to talk Mark Lee,โ you look him up and down. โHypocrite.โย
He should never have let Yuta come home with him last night-
โI want to go see your workplace again,โ you insist. โTo see if I like it. It would be good to have two incomes- besides, all your friends work there- and Iโd be getting to use my bunny smelling senses-โ
What youโre saying is - by all accounts - true. It would be a good job, for any bunny- but unfortunately youโre not just any bunny, youโre his sister. Mark worries about which manager you caught the attention of- there are a few Level Fours he could handle, but if either of the Level Five managers get their hands on you-
Mark doesnโt even want to think about it.
โI guess you can go see what itโs like,โ Mark sighs. โYuta told me to give you his number- something about maybe popping by tonight when itโs busy and meet the managers and such-โ
โReally?โ your eyes widen with excitement. โYou mean youโre not going to fight me on this anymore?โ
โIโm not,โ Mark concedesโฆ heโs just hoping youโll spend one night working behind the scenes and decide to hate the club.
6: Saturday con't
Youโre not sure what youโre expecting when you walk into Markโs bar for the second time in your life, but itโs definitely not a small, timid deer hybrid by the name of Moon Taeil. From the look of his small, spiny, horn-like antlers, you think he might be a pudu, and you wonder how he ever obtained a high ranking position at a club like this one.ย
โIโm the main manager of the front area of the club,โ Taeil explains, as he walks you through the room of both humans and hybrids. โThe majority of our servers in this section are Level Twos. Mark must have walked you through the levels?โ
โRefresh me?โ you suggest, sending a pleading smile Taeilโs way.
The elder man sighs. โLevel Ones are small prey animals,โ he tells you, โHamsters, bunnies, rats, mice, that sort of thing. Level Twos are larger prey animals like myself, so deer, zebras, weโve even got a lovely cow hybrid bartender. We also have a few humans we employ to keep the โdiversityโ structure.ย Level Ones like you generally work the door to the back section, with a Level Three hybrid bouncer.โ
He takes a deep breath, and his large deer ears flick to follow other sounds in the bar. You can tell that Taeil doesnโt like going through these details, as he runs through them quickly.
โLevel Threeโs are smaller and โdomesticatedโ predator types, so dogs, cats- weโve mostly got dogs on the doors. You already know Jeno, our doberman. We also have a golden retriever, and a lab-โ
โNot to mention our resident Raven,โ a regal man appears on your left, and one whiff of him tells you heโs the bird in question. Hybrids that fly all share a uniquely airy scent, or at least, the ones you know do.ย
โThis is Doyoung- heโll be your manager while youโre here.โ Taeil seems more than happy to pass you off, not that you mind.ย
โIf you end up liking the place,โ Doyoung sighs. โAnd if we like you. We always have openings for Level Ones in door inspection like your brother, but Iโm guessing youโll fit in as more of a bottle girl.โ
Youโve heard of bottle girls; the pretty females who provide top of the line waitressing service to VIPโs and such. Youโve also heard that theyโre the ones who make big money on tips.ย
โHave you ever had any experience in a bar?โ Doyoung is quick to get to business, and Taeil scurries away.ย
โI worked in a restaurant once,โ you tell him, thinking back to the humans who had been nice enough to give you a shot.
โBottle service is easy,โ the raven assures you. โThe real test you have to pass is for manning the door.โ
โA test?โ you ask, following Doyoung through to the back room.
The bar isnโt open yet, and itโs different to see the large space without fun, flashy lighting, the dancefloor empty of guests.ย
โSounds like Taeil was walking you through the levels, right?โ Your new manager walks you through to a hallway that leads to the staff restricted zone. โLevel Fours are big predator animals, think lions, tigers, bears, wolves-โ
โAnd Level Fives?โ
Doyoung gives you a look. โWe donโt get many Level Fives in here- and trust me, when we have one, youโll know.โ
Itโs the only level that hasnโt come with a hybrid list, and youโre not quite sure what to make of it.
โHow will I know-โ you ask, as you follow Doyoung into a staff room where a white wolf is waiting for you.
โTrust us, Lee,โ Yuta grins, โwith a nose like your brotherโs, youโll know.โ
Doyoung rolls his eyes at the flirty tone in his coworkerโs voice, and heโs quick to move on. โIf you could take a seat, weโll begin the nose test.โ
โSo soon?โ You feel like you have whiplash. Yuta pulls out a chair at the small table by the staff lockers and youโre quick to sit down, looking at both men with confusion.
โTrust me, youโll pass,โ Yuta assures you again, resting one hand on your shoulder while flashing you a charming smile.
โDid you bring your blindfold?โ Doyoung isnโt talking to you, but your heartrate picks up in your chest.
โYou know I always have one on me,โ the wolf responds, reaching into his pocket.
โBlindfold?โ you squeak.
โItโs nothing weird,โ Doyoung is quick to assure you. โYouโll just put this on, and five people, one from each level, will come in, then youโll have to identify their level by smell.โ
You suppose itโs a fair trial- after all, with your eyes covered you wonโt be able to identify anyone by their hybrid marks, so you accept the blindfold and put it on.ย
With your eyesight gone dark, you take a deep breath, trying to focus on the smell of the Level Three and Four that surround you.
โAre you ready for the first person?โ the raven asks.
You nod.
In the periphery of your senses, you hear a door opening, and then a familiar smell washes over you. Youโd only spent a short time with the timid deer manager, but Taeilโs scent is already committed to your memory. โLevel Two,โ you announce, adding โMister Moonโ for good measure.ย
Yuta lets out a small chuckle at your rear, and you hear Doyoung groan at his friendโs behaviour. โVery good,โ he praises you.ย
The sound of a door opening and closing prepares you for the next smell, and even this one is somewhat familiar. Itโs a very puppy specific smell- but youโre not quite sure if itโs one of your friends, so when you say โLevel Three,โ you simply leave it at, โdog hybrid,โ instead of adding a name.ย
โYou canโt take your blindfold off,โ Yuta reminds you, โbut this is Jungwoo, heโs our resident golden retriever.โ
โSo lovely to meet you!โ comes an enthusiastic voice, and loud footfall tell you the large man is approaching you. He gently shakes your hand and you try not to jump at the sudden contact.
โGood to meet you too,โ you smile.
โItโs always nice to have another Lee in the building,โ the puppy continues. โWe love Jeno, and then we got Mark- now we have you! Everyone loves a cute Lee!โ
โSome more than others,โ Doyoung mutters, and you canโt help but think itโs a jab at Yuta. It seems youโre not the only one whoโs aware of your brotherโs shenanigans with his so called โboss.โย
โIโll see you on shift, bunny,โ Jungwoo says, and you can practically hear his grin.ย
โSheโs not officially hired yet,โ Doyoung is quick to remind everyone in the room.
โSheโs a Lee- a legacy!โ Jungwoo insists. โLike I said, see you on shift.โ
You hear him leave the room, but his scent takes longer to drift from your senses.ย
The door opens again, and itโs the easiest smell to identify so far. A Level One prey is always a pleasant experience, and this one smells particularly earthy. โLevel One,โ you say with a smile.
โThree for three,โ the raven counts. โAlthough, this one might also be a bit of a cheat- I think youโve met our Hamster hybrid, Jisung?โ
Youโd nearly forgotten about the tall, quiet boy that Mark had introduced you to last month, but now that Doyoung mentions it, the meeting comes back to you. โWe have met once,โ you admit.
โNice to see you again.โ Jisungโs voice is as quiet as ever, and you wonder what an introvert like him is doing in a bar like this, but then again- what are any of your prey hybrid acquaintances doing here?ย
You listen to the hamster leave the room, and youโre left waiting long enough to start to question it. โUh, is the test over?โ you ask after five minutes of silence have gone by. You can feel your ears twitching, and your nose ruffles as you try to track any new scents.
โTwo more,โ Doyoung tells you. โThese last two like to be late-โ
โOr maybe we like to make an entrance,โ a new voice and smell nearly overwhelm your senses.ย
While most hybrids have an earthy note to their scent, this man also brings in a touch of smokiness- for a moment, part of you wants to announce that heโs a Level Five, but you bite your tongue.
Youโve not smelt something like him in a long time, but when you search your brain for a memory, you realize what hybrid he reminds you of. โLevel Four?โ you ask, feeling unsure for the first time, โa bear?โ
โWow, itโs always the bunnies with good noses, huh?โ The new voice lets out a chuckle, and you think you must have clocked him spot on.ย
โTold you sheโd be good,โ Yuta says pridefully.ย
โDoes this mean Iโve passed?โ Youโre eager to take the blindfold off- being in a room with a raven, a wolf, and a bear - without your eyes to protect you - well, itโs making your stomach fill with butterflies.ย
โThereโs one last person you have to meet,โ Doyoung explains with a sigh.
โA Level Five?โ If you go by process of elimination-
โYes, a Level Five.โ Yutaโs hand finds your shoulder again, giving you a gentle squeeze. โWhen Mark met this Level Five, he puked- so Doyoungโs put a bucket by your footโฆ if you need it.โ
โWhy-โ you swallow thickly. โI mean- if I already know itโs a Level Five, do I have to meet him? I thought you said I wouldnโt see many Level Fives-โ
Doyoung sighs, and itโs a sound youโre becoming much too familiar with. โWe donโt want the first time you see one being on the job- better to puke now rather than later. Besides, the Level Five coming in owns the club, heโs the one who gets the final say on you.โ
Now you definitely feel like youโre going to hurl- and the elusive Level Five hasnโt even entered the room yet.ย ย
โHeโs not that bad,โ Yuta reassures you, but you suppose itโs a very Level Four thing for him to say. The wolf behind you can never know what itโs like to be in your shoes as a prey hybrid, so you take his opinion with a massive grain of salt.
โUsually Iโd tell you not to trust Yuta,โ the bearโs voice sounds again, โbut in this case, heโs not wrong. Hyuckโs not so bad.โ
If only you knew anything about the bear- about how accurate his perception might be.
Your skin is prickling with anxiety, but you know youโll have to get used to being surrounded by upper level hybrids if youโre going to do well at this job, so you focus on your breathing.
A minute passes, and then comes the familiar noise of the door squeaking ever so slightly on its hinges.
A shiver runs from the tip of your toes all the way to the top of your head, and an overpowering energy overtakes you.ย
Itโs not so much a smell as it is an overwhelming sense of unease.ย
Something isnโt right- and youโre pretty sure itโs the new Level Five whoโs just entered the room.
โGood job on not puking,โ Yuta laughs, patting your shoulder again.
โSheโs got a better stomach than Mark,โ the bear adds, and as much as you might wish to defend your brother, you can hardly bring yourself to even open your mouth to speak.
โThis little bunny is a fighter, isnโt that right?โ The smoothness of the unfamiliar voice takes you back a little, and despite your eyes being covered, you get the sense that the Level Five has a pretty face to match his pretty voice.ย
You itch to take the blindfold off- to get a look at the elusive hybrid.ย
You wonder what markings he might have that would point you in the direction of identifying what, exactly, he is.ย
โCan I-โ you swallow thickly, and the hybridโs smokey scent that fills your lungs makes your throat feel dry again, โCan I take this off?โ
You reach a hand up towards your face, but Yuta is one step ahead of you, pulling the blindfold from your head.ย
At first, your eyes take a moment to adjust to the light, but your prey instincts are quick to get a gauge on the Level Five.
Heโs handsome- more handsome than you could have imagined. But heโs also young- close to your age, youโd guess, if looks are anything to go by-
Fluffy brown hair and caramel eyes match the pretty tan skin that almost shines golden in the light.
You canโt spot any hybrid marks, not even a tail, and youโre completely blindsided by what the man in front of you might be.ย
โHi, bunny.โ The Level Five grins at you, and the sharp canines that greet you are the only hint towards his hybridism- although, without visible floppy ears, you highly doubt the man in front of you is any sort of dog.
โIf youโre looking for hybrid marks, good luck finding them,โ Doyoung tells you, pursing his lips. The large, obvious, black wings that protrude from his back ruffle with annoyance, and you wonder how many other prey hybrids have been enthralled by this Level Fiveโs lack of clear hybrid marks.ย
โHyuckโs good at hiding,โ Yuta notes. โCome on, give her a hint.โ
โBut just know,โ the bear quips, โyouโre not going to leave this room with any definitive answers about what he is. That information is for people whoโve proven their loyalty here.โ
โSomething tells me sheโll be loyal,โ the Level Five, or โHyuckโ as theyโve called him, is looking at you like youโre dinner. โIsnโt that right, little bunny?โ
โYes, sir,โ you respond without a momentโs hesitation, clearing your throat. โIโm loyal. Itโs a Lee family trait.โย
While youโre talking about your brother, you suppose Lee Jeno is also quite loyal, although that might be more of a dog and doberman trait than a Lee-specific one.ย
The Level Five continues to stare at you, and then his pretty caramel eyes seem to flick with a new colour, almost like a flame, licking from his iris- within a moment his eyes are a fiery red that makes your heart practically stop in your chest, becauseโฆ youโve seen these eyes before.ย
Youโd seen them that night when youโd first visited the bar, watching you from up in VIP.
It becomes clear to you that the โmanagerโ who youโd caught the attention of is none other than the Level Five himself.
7: Sunday
โYou look tired.โ Markโs usually not the type to enjoy seeing you burnt out, but heโs hopeful that one night on the job had been enough to show you that you might not be cut out for bar life.
โI am tired,โ you sigh, taking a seat at the breakfast table.
He watches you for a moment, but when itโs clear youโre intent to just pick at the apple in your hand, he decides to prompt you for more. โArenโt you going to tell me how it went?โ
You groan.
โI mean-โ he swallows, โobviously you made it past their scent test-โ
โSpeaking of which,โ now your eyes are on him, and you shift in your seat, โyou have to tell me what kind of hybrid Hyuck is!โ
Mark nearly chokes on his coffee.ย
Youโre on a first name basis with Lee Donghyuck?!ย
โWhen did you meet him?!โ Mark gasps.
โWhat do you mean โwhen did I meet himโ?โ You roll your eyes. โHe was the Level Five in my scent test!โ
โHe was?!โ This is definitely news to Mark.
Your brows furrow with confusion. โWasnโt he yours too?โ
โOf course not! Mine was Renjun!โ
โWho the heck is Renjun?โย
Mark doesnโt answer- after all, thereโs truly no way to explain who Renjun is, not without giving you details about his Level Five status-
โLook, this โRenjunโ dude doesnโt matter,โ you insist. โI need to know what Hyuck is.โย
Markโs throat goes dry, and he rubs his thumb against the coffee mug in his hand. โI meanโฆ you know I canโt tell you that.โ Mark sighs. โWhat do you think he is.โย
โI donโt-โ You bite at your lip. โA giant snake? His eyes go red- thatโsโฆ thatโs kind of snake-like, right? And his skin has a pretty sort of golden sheen sometimes. No oneโs described what Level Fiveโs are yet, so I donโt even know what general hybrid types to be considering. A snake doesnโt seem like that big of a deal, but maybe heโs exotic or something? Are Level Fiveโs exotic predator types?โ
The bunny opens his mouth, then closes it. Heโs not sure what to say.ย
โCome on, Mark-โ you groan. โPlease?โย
โLookโฆโ he sighs, running a hand through his hair. โI really canโt tell you what Hyuck is. Heโs my bossโs bossโs boss or something- butโฆ youโll probably never meet Renjun, soโฆ if I tell you what he is- maybe it will help give you some ideas?โย
โI really donโt see how it will help-โ
โThatโs because you have no idea what a Level Five is- theyโre not even in the same ballpark as snakes, which are Level Threeโs, by the way.โย
โFine,โ you give in. โTell me what Renjun is.โ
โBut you have to promise not to repeat this anywhere. And if you end up meeting himโฆ youโll have to pretend you had no clue about his hybrid type... deal?โ
โOf course! Who am I going to tell anyways?โ
โYeji for one, or Ryujin-โ
โYeah, yeah-โ you wave a hand. โI promise I wonโt.โ
He studies you for a second.ย
Youโve never been one to go back on your word, and after a deep breath, Mark Lee goes back on his own promise not to reveal a Level Five hybrid type.ย
He supposes sending you into a monsterโs den with no clue what you could be up against isnโt the best idea in the world- and perhaps this will finally show you why heโs so hesitant to allow you anywhere near his work.
โRenjun- wellโฆโ Mark takes a deep breath. โHeโs a phoenix.โย
Thereโs a beat of silence, and then you let out a small laugh. โStop teasing me.โ
โIโm not,โ Mark tells you earnestly.
Your eyes search his face for any sign that he could be playing around, and then youโre jaw is dropping. โA phoenix?!โย
โLower your voice!โย
When you speak next, itโs in a half yelled whisper; โPheonixโs exist?!โย ย
โYeah.โ
โSo what does that make Hyuck?!โย
โYouโve got to drop the Hyuck thing,โ Mark groans. โI told you about Renjun, now just trust me when I tell you to stay away from your bosses. That includes Johnnyโฆ and Yuta.โ
โAgain with the hypocrisy, Mark-โย
โJust-โ he reaches over and places his hand over yours. โPlease.โย
Your energy dies down before his very eyes, and Mark can guess that itโs probably because heโs made a point not to ask you for much in your life.ย
Heโs glad that this โpleaseโ packs a punch.
โFine,โ you say, taking a deep breath. โBut Iโm still choosing to work at the bar.โ
โOh my Jesus-โย
โWe need the money!โ you insist.
He canโt argue there. โWhen are you on shift?โ
โYouโre not going to like this- but uhโฆ they have me on off days right now? Monday through Wednesday-โ
โYou know I donโt work Monday through Wednesday,โ Mark groans, hating the idea that youโll be at the club without him there to protect you.
Sure, Markโs a bunny hybrid, but heโs a bunny that bitesโฆ if he has to.ย
โI know, I know-โ you sigh. โBut I checked the shift chart and it looks like Jaemin will be there, Jisung too!โ
Heโs glad youโll have to familiar faces at least. โWhoโs the Level Three bouncer?โ
โThe golden retriever- Jungwoo I think his name was?โ
Mark feels himself relax a little. He knows Jungwooโs character- and despite being a puppy, the dog can hold his own. โI guess you could be working with worse people.โ
โDonโt be so hard on your coworkers,โ you laugh.ย
Itโs his bosses heโll have to be explicitly hard on if heโs going to keep you away from them, and Mark knows it.ย
8: Monday
When you arrive to the club for your first official shift, it begins very much like the training one had. Taeil meets you at the front door and hurries you through the space.ย
โDoyoungโs in a bad mood,โ he tells you, deer ears flickering with something like anxiety. โSomething ruffled his feathers this morning. Butโฆ it should be an easy night.โ
โOh, okay.โ Youโre not sure what else to say, and you instead opt for being quiet, adjusting your silky black shirt and toying with the cuff link by your wrist.ย
โItโs a nice outfit,โ Taeil continues, watching your movements with a doe like expression. โBut I wouldnโt be surprised if someone tells you to wear a dress next time.โ
You swallow thickly and look down at what you consider to be your โfancy pants.โย
When youโd gotten dressed, youโd decided to go a more modest route. Mark always heads to work in dark attire, and youโd done your best to match it, but you suppose itโs no shock that the bosses might prefer for their female bunnies to be in something a little more showy.
โIโll uh- look through my wardrobe?โ you suggest, as your eyes lock in on the regal raven man whoโs just come through the door leading to the back of the bar.
Taeil laughs, and itโs the first time youโve seen the serious deer hybrid smile. โDonโt worry, outfits will be provided. Weโve had a few bunny bottle girls, and Doyoung has stats on what attire gains the best tips.โ
Why are you not surprised that Doyoung has outfit to tip ratio statistics.ย
โI guess Taeilโs already given you my critique then,โ the raven says smoothly as you approach. โDresses will be providedโฆ if you make it through this first official shift.โย
He makes it sound like he thinks you might fail, and it only makes you more determined to prove your worth.
โTonight youโll be doing bottle service,โ Doyoung explains as he leads you through to the back section.ย
Youโre a little surprised to see a few Level Four hybrids already bustling about by the bar, and when youโre ushered into the staff room, two familiar faces make you feel more at home.
โLittle Lee bunny!โ Jaemin grins, pulling you into a hug. โMark told me youโd be working here, but I almost didnโt believe it!โ
โBelieve it,โ Doyoung grunts. โYouโll be showing her the ropes of being a bottle person. Jisung-โ your eyes shift to the other man youโve met in passing, โyouโll be on the door with Jungwoo. Y/N got an intro course in manning the door, and sheโll end the shift with you, got it?โ
โYes, mister Kim.โ The hamster hybrid nods solemnly, flashing you a shy smile before scurrying off.
โSpeaking of Jungwoo though-โ Doyoung sighs, โwhere is that dog?โย ย
โI believe we passed him at the bar on the way in here?โ you suggest, recalling the familiar scent that had briefly caught the attention of your senses as Doyoung had rushed you to the staff room.
The raven looks at you, and then he flashes you a pretty gummy smile. โYou are quick on your feet, arenโt you?โ
โI try.โ You can feel your skin heating at the compliment.
โWhat else did you smell on the way in here?โ he prompts.
โI think- a handful of Level Threes and Fours by the bar- but not a Five in sight.โ
โAnd if you see a Five?โ Doyoung presses.
โIโll assume that as door man, Jisung has made a note of it, but Iโll also come tell you- if itโs not Hyuck or Renjun.โ
โVery good,โ the raven nods at you. Then he takes a deep breath. โI should warn you both, before shift officially starts-โ his eyes shift to Jaemin, โJohnny and Yuta are planning to stop by tonight to see how our new hire is doing-โ
โWhat?โ Jaeminโs nose scrunches up with distaste. โBut they never come in on Mondays!โ
โI know, and I told them not to.โ Doyoung sighs again, โIt will just throw off our team, but- like I said, they want to see our newest bunny in action.โ
Jaemin groans. โJeez-โย
โJust remember,โ Doyoung looks at you, โLevel Fours - and Fives - can be difficult to manage. Stick close to Jaemin, and if you need anything, come let me know.โ
โOkay,โ you nod diligently.
โYouโre part of my team now.โ The raven hybrid offers you a smile. โAnd Iโm not about to let anything bad happen on shift tonight.โ
9: Monday con't
Yuta hasnโt been able to take his eyes off of you for what feels like hours. Sure, he might have a little something something going on with your older brother, but he thinks thereโs no harm in watching youโฆ itโs for scientific purposes, really.
Okay, maybe more like his own twisted pervert purposes, but whoโs going to judge a wolf like him?ย
โShe is cute, Iโll give you that,โ Johnny says, drawing Yutaโs attention. โI can see why Hyuck likes her.โ
After a moment to consider the bearโs words, Yuta nods, gaze shifting back to you. โAnd she seems good at the job.โ
In the two hours theyโve been sitting in VIP and watching you, youโve definitely impressed not only them, but many other Level Fours as well.ย
A snow leopard acquaintance and business partner had even approached the two owners of the club to enquire about you, and Kunโs generally not the type to get so easily enthralled, especially not by bottle girls and workers.
Even though youโre shadowing Jaemin today, youโve noticed Yuta and Johnnyโs drinks being low, and have personally brought over a bottle of champagne for refills, a bright smile on your face every time.
Yutaโs already tipped you more than heโd tipped Mark on his first day doing bottle service, and thatโs saying something.
He canโt help it though. Thereโs something about you- something that makes him want to risk it all-
But thereโs also a voice in the back of his mind that tells him not to. For one, he has Mark- and even more- youโve caught Hyuckโs attention.
Hyuckโs a collector of pretty things, and he can be quite defensive when he thinks someoneโs impeding on his territory.ย
No, Yutaโs better sticking with the elder Lee bunny, and he just hopes any man thatโs interested in you has the brains to rethink testing Hyuckโs patience.
10: Tuesdayย
Although Johnny is one of Hyuckโs most trusted confidants, the Level Five finds himself calling up the wolf in his company for details about your first day.ย
As a friend of your brotherโs, Yuta can provide insight Johnny might not be able to- and besides, Yuta always tells it as it is. Heโs not one for fancy language or tiptoeing around, and thatโs one of the things Hyuck appreciates most about him.
The wolf answers his phone on the second ring, and Hyuck pays the same respect that Yuta always does; he doesnโt bother inching around the reason he called, and goes straight to ask; โHow was our new bunny on shift yesterday?โ
โI meanโฆโ Yuta lets out a chuckle, โSheโs Markโs sister, so she took to it pretty naturally. But thatโs not too surprising, is it?โ
โI guess not.โ Hyuck canโt help but smile. He enjoys hearing that youโre already excelling at your new job, and it extends past the pride of a boss finding a new money maker. โI hear she was on bottle duty yesterday.โ
โUh huh, kept my drink full the whole evening.โ
โSo sheโs even better than Jaemin,โ Hyuckโs grin widens.
โItโs not that hard to be better than Jaemin.โ Yutaโs eye roll is practically audible.ย
The wolf has never been a fan of the lazy bunny, but Hyuck keeps Jaemin employed for his own entertainment.ย
โAnyways,โ Yuta continues, โa few VIPโs even enquired about our new hire, said she was doing a good job.โ
โReally?โ Hyuck feels the flames of jealousy licking across his skin. โWho?โ
โKun and Ten mostly, but I think everyone was pretty eager to watch her work. Scurrying around with her little grey bunny tail and those twitchy ears-โ
Hyuck will have to deal with Kun and Ten if it comes down to a turf war over his new bunny, but for now, he takes a deep breath, mind more pleasantly occupied; โWhat was she wearing?โ
โI guess no one told her about our affinity for bottle girls in little black dresses-โ Yuta sighs. โBut she still looked absolutely delicious in black pants and a satin dress shirt.โ
โWhat have I told you about preying on my bottle girls?โ Hyuck canโt let this comment slide.
โYeah, yeah,โ Yuta sighs. โI was just trying to paint a pretty picture for you.โ
As if Yuta has to verbalize that you looked good enough to eat. Hyuckโs way past that.ย
โHey,โ the wolf catches Hyuckโs mind from drifting, โjust so you know- I know that Girl-Bunny-Lee is off the table. You donโt usually go for bunnies, so a few others might get confused, butโฆ well, I know sheโs yours.โย
Hyuck takes a moment to consider his friendโs words.
What Yutaโs just said is true though, Hyuck generally isnโt one to spend too much time with Level Ones. He has a preference for Level Four big cat hybrids; panthers, tigers, heโs even had a daring lion or two-
Bunnies always get jumpy around Hyuck, and for good reason.ย
Heโll enjoy breaking you in- in more ways than one.
โI appreciate that you know your boundaries, wolf,โ Hyuck says smoothly. โTo ensure that everyone else knows not to toe the line, how about you talk to Doyoung about putting our newest little bunny on bottle service for Friday night. Mark will be working- it will give us both a chance to watch our Level Ones scurrying around.โ
โYou know, boss,โ Yuta chuckles, โI like the way you think.โ
11: Fridayย
Mark can feel his annoyance practically perfuming off his own form, and heโs not the only one whoโs noticed. While transiting to work, the few other prey hybrids on the bus have moved away from him, and you keep shooting him worried looks.
A few stops from the club, a human couple leaves, and Mark is quick to snatch the newly vacated seats.
He lets out a deep sigh as he sits down, immediately leaning against the window to cast his gaze outside.
โMark, stop being such a party pooper,โ you say in a hushed tone, gently poking at his side.
He rolls his eyes.
โSeriously. I know itโs a little fast that Iโm working a busy shift, but that means more tips, and isnโt making money the whole point of this?โย
โI just-โ he groans again. โItโs a Friday night, all the VIP big bosses will be there-โ He bites his tongue, although he has much more to say. Like how he knows Hyuckโs the reason youโre working tonight, because Hyuck has final say on shifts, and any change in schedule immediately points to the picky Level Five having his hand in it.
โSo what if all the big bosses are there?โ you ask. โIโll just work harder to swindle them for their money.โ
Youโre trying to lighten the mood, and Mark canโt help but crack a small smile.
โYou need to be realistic about this though,โ he warns you. โDo your job, be nice, but donโt be too nice. Do you understand?โย
โIโll only do what Iโm paid to do,โ you nod. โHonestly, I think youโre overthinking this. Doyoungโs been a great manager, and tonightโs going to be fine.โ
He wants to tell you that youโre too trusting. That youโre a naive little bunny going into a den of upper level hybrids - some of whom, you canโt even truly name.ย
He might have told you that Renjun is a phoenix, but you still have no idea what youโre going up against when dealing with Hyuck.
โJust-โ Mark sighs again. โDonโt be too nice.โ
12: Friday con't
Itโs a busy night, and Hyuck gets a fabulous view of you and other โbottle bitchesโ running around his club.
Youโre in a black dress, and in many other work places, it would be considered much too short. In fact, the only thing truly keeping the fabric over the rump of your cute little bum is your fuzzy grey tail.ย
Hyuck thanks god for hybrid specific clothing, and he makes a mental note to congradulate Doyoung on quickly taking care of your wardrobe. Yuta had mentioned the pants you wore to your first shift were niceโฆ but Hyuck doubts that much could look better on you than this.
You look good enough to eat, and Hyuck wants to unwrap you-
But heโs not the only one.ย
An hour goes by, then two, and as the night gets more lively, a few Level Four hybrids get increasingly cocky with you, much to Hyuckโs annoyance.ย
Hell, even a few Level Threes who should be working seem to be revolving around you.ย
Hyuckโs not sure if itโs because theyโre also seeing the way men are looking at you, or if they themselves are as into you as everyone else seems to be.
You had come to the club with Jeno your first time, and as Hyuck watches the doberman practically do laps around you while you scurry about, he wonders if thereโs anything going on between the two of you.ย
After tracking you with his eyes for half an hour more, Hyuck decides thereโs no way you could be dating Jeno. Hyuck would have smelt you on his doberman, and while Jeno often comes in smelling a little like bunny, itโs always been Jaemin and Markโs scent still lingering on his skin.
Hyuck is getting increasingly impatient watching you tend to the lower section of the bar. While heโd insisted on having you work tonight, Doyoung had been just as firm about Jisung being the bottle bitch to the VIPโs, and Hyuckโs not sure how much longer he can go without seeing you up close.
Doyoungโs not usually one to put his foot down when Hyuck gives him orders, and as Hyuck watches Doyoung watch you, he begins to wonder about even the ravenโs integrity when it comes to pretty little bunnies.ย
Itโs near the end of your shift when something happens that finally allows Hyuck to act; a tiger hybrid seated at a booth catches your arm as you rush past him with a bottle of champagne. The roughness of the sudden grip makes you stagger.
Hyuckโs on his feet in an instant, eyes fixed on you.
The tiger leans up to say something in your ear, and even with top hybrid hearing, Hyuck canโt make it out with all the noise in the room. However, by your reaction, itโs obvious that what ever has been said, wellโฆ it doesnโt sit right.
A look of shock crosses your features, your jaw dropping-
Hyuck hurries down the stairs of VIP. Heโll make it to you in less than five seconds-
The tiger hybrid stands up and everything seems to go in slow motion for the Level Five. Heโs optimized for this kind of thing, this kind of situation- and his body kicks into high gear, muscles tensing-
The champagne slips from your hand-
Before it can hit the floor, Hyuckโs fingers are wrapping around the bottleโs neck, and in one aggressive motion, heโs using it like a baseball bat and wacking the shit out of the tiger hybridโs shoulder.
Glass and booze explode at the contact, shards and bubbly spraying every direction.ย
The tiger hybrid recoils and others jump at the sudden eruption of anger that had come from a VIP who hardly leaves his section. If the big cats and other predators in the vicinity hadnโt smelt Hyuck for what he is before, well- itโs obvious to everyone who the big boss is now.
โDonโt you know anything about being in a club?!โ Hyuck rages at the tiger, who practically shrinks under his fiery gaze. โYou can look, but donโt you ever think about touching one of my bunnies like that again!โย
โIโm sorry-โ the manโs eyes are full of fear, and the smell of it makes Hyuckโs lungs burn.ย
In his periphery, Hyuck sees Jeno, Jungwoo and Doyoung rushing to surround him. He sees Jeno reach for you, protectively putting you behind his back-
โThrow this guy out,โ Hyuck announces to his subordinates. โAnd tell Mark to make a note by his name.โ His gaze lands on the cowering hybrid. โIf you comes back here, Iโll do worse than break a champagne bottle.โ
Hands grab at the tiger, and heโs hauled off by the two dogs who do Hyuckโs bidding.ย
The Level Five inhales deeply to calm himself, running a hand through his curls before turning to look at you. โAre you okay?โ
โIโm fine-โ you assure him, but you sound breathless, and your eyes are wide.
โWas that really necessary?โ Doyoung asks. โCleaning the champagne and glass up is going to be a shit show-โ
โYes, it was necessary,โ Hyuck snaps. โEveryone here needs to know-โ he casts his eyes around at the predator hybrids that frequent his club, โemployees at my club are off limits.โย
โIโm sure they know that now.โ The raven isnโt even bothering to hide his exasperation. Surely he wouldnโt have handled things this way, in such an abrupt and aggressive manner- but heโs not Hyuck, and heโs not a Level Five.
Hyuck looks at you again, assessing you for any sign of injury. Up close, youโre even prettier than he could have imagined, and you meet his gaze with those wide, wonderous eyes of yours-
โYour shift is over,โ Hyuck declares. โItโs been an eventful night. Iโve been watching you scurry around for hours.โ
โBut-โ you and Doyoung both go to argue, and Hyuck holds up a hand.
โItโs her first night working a busy shift,โ Hyuck states. โI think sheโs had enough.โ
โI-โ you bite on your lip. โThank you- butโฆ I mean, I have to stay here until Markโs shift is over in half an hour anyways-โ
โThen how about you join me in VIP while you wait for your brother.โย
Doyoung lets out an annoyed sound in the back of his throat, eyes rolling before he turns to leave. No doubt heโs had enough of this conversation, enough of Hyuck- and the Level Five doesnโt mind. This is a conversation best had without the stickler raven hanging around.ย
โThanks for the offer- but I really shouldnโt. Mark wouldnโt like it, and I meanโฆ youโre my boss after all.โ
Hyuck lets out a chuckle. โThatโs never stopped Mark from joining Yuta when his shift is over. Your brother sounds like a hypocrite if heโd get upset at you joining me.โย
You blink up at him- and then youโre smiling and Hyuck feels like heโs on cloud nine. โThatโs what Iโve been saying! Heโs been very hypocritical lately!โ Then you do something no bunny before has ever done, you lean closer to Hyuck, lowering your voice; โHe sort of told me to stay away from you.โ
Hyuckโs grin widens. โSo you and your hypocrite brother have been talking about me, huh?โ
Your pretty bunny ears twitch, and you cast your eyes down with embarrassment. โNot at length- he still wonโt tell me what type of hybrid you are-โ
โCome have a drink with me, and maybe youโll find out.โ
You look up at him again, and Hyuck can tell youโre searching his face for a sign of deception. Then you give in; โFine. Iโll have one drink while I wait for Mark, but not in VIP.โ
Itโs almost like youโre taunting him, and when you turn to head toward the bar, Hyuckโs natural predatory instincts kick in. He gives in to the chase, following close on your heels.ย ย
People part for Hyuck as he walks through the busy dance floor. He supposes they could just be being careful from the champagne bottle incident, but thereโs also the fact that he gives off intense vibes. Even without knowing what Level Five hybrids are, many of the Fours in the room have no problem identifying him, once in a blue moon when he comes down from VIP.ย
Yuta had told Hyuck when theyโd first met that he simply smells and feels like an other- something not of their normal hybrid world. And Hyuck supposes thereโs some merit to that.ย
He joins you at the bar, and within an instant, his persian kitty bartender, Taeyong, is rushing up to take his order. Doyoung eyes Hyuck from the end of the bartop, but keeps his distance.
In record speed, two drinks are being sat in front of you, and Hyuck can finally give you his full attention. โSo howโd a bunny like you get into working restaurants?โ
โHmm?โ
โYour resume,โ Hyuck clarifies. โIt said youโve worked in the industry before.โ
โOh, uh-โ you fiddle with the straw in your drink, โI mean- growing up, Mark used to call me Little Miss Energizer Bunny, you know, like the battery? And I guess, Iโve always liked being helpful, so running around a room and making sure people are happy seems like a no brainer.โ
Hyuck watches you with a smile. He likes the idea of you being a little Energizer Bunny- his little Energizer Bunny.ย
โHow about you?โ you ask, lifting your chin to appear confident in your question, but your eyes and twitchy ears betray you. โHow does a young Level Five like yourself end up owning a club?โ
Hyuck chuckles. โIโm not as young as I look.โย
โReally? Is this a hint as to your hybrid type? I will figure it out, you know.โย
Youโre his little Sherlock Holmes the Energizer Bunny. Itโs cute.ย
โSure you will,โ Hyuck says, although there are doubts in his mind. โHow are you liking the work here?โ
โIโm enjoying it,โ you tell him. โAll my coworkers are really nice, and Doyoung is a great manager.โย
Hyuck canโt help but crack a smile at this. The raven has had many complaints against him in the past, mostly from Jaemin and Jeno, who think heโs much too strict and bitchy- but Hyuck guesses thereโs no surprise that Doyoung puts his best foot forward with you.
The Level Five opens his mouth to ask another question, but before he can, he notices your brother weaving through the crowd behind you.ย
โUh-โ Mark coughs awkwardly, gently tapping you on your arm, โDoyoung said there was an altercation- said I should take you home early?โ
Maybe Hyuck will have to file a complaint against Doyoung too, for being a royal cock block.ย
โOh, yeah-โ you nod quickly, โlet me finish my drink-โ
Hyuck watches the way you suck on your straw, and his mouth starts to water. It takes all his energy to force his eyes to your brother. โYou usually bus, donโt you, Mark? I could get someone to drive you both home.โ
โWeโll be fine,โ Mark states, and thereโs a stubborn set to his jaw even though he canโt truly meet Hyuckโs gaze. โIโm sure y/n made enough tips to pay for a cab.โย
Hyuck would be entertained by Markโs big brother protectiveness, if it wasnโt directed at warding him off. But Hyuck also supposes that, if he were in Markโs shoes and had a sister, especially one as cute as you, heโd be doing the same thing Mark is doing right now.
โYour call, Markie.โ Hyuck raises his glass, nodding at the bunny whose cheeks are now a pretty shade of pink. โGet home safe, and Iโll see you-โ his eyes meet yours, โsometime soon.โ
Itโs a promise, but it also might just be a threat.
13: Friday con't
At first, the atmosphere in the cab is tense, silent. Mark is like a brewing volcano on your right side, and youโre just waiting for him to say something. Yet, your brother throws none of his anger your way.ย
It almost feels like youโre going to get home unscathed, and then all of the sudden Mark is throwing his hands up and looking at you with an exasperated expression; โI thought I told you to stay away from him!โย
Youโre too stunned to speak. Mark hardly ever raises his voice at you, and the fact that heโs doing this in front of your driver when youโre already so close to home is just as shocking as the outburst itself. โI-โย
โIโm serious, y/n-โ Markโs eyes flicker to the taxi driver. โI donโt want to talk about levels too much right now, but- trust me- if you think Yuta and Johnny might be dangerous based on their hybrid types- just know that Hyuck is ten times worse than that!โย
โHe doesnโt seem that bad-โ
โDoesnโt seem that bad,โ Mark repeats, and you canโt tell if heโs about to laugh or cry.ย
Your brother opens his mouth to say more, but the taxi comes to a stop in front of your apartment, and the obviously uncomfortable driver quietly tells you how much you owe him.
You grab money out of your work fanny pack, tossing it into the front of the cab before exiting the vehicle. Thereโs much more you want to say to your brother, but itโs not going to be said in front of some innocent bystander whoโs just trying to make a living.
โMark, I hate to say it,โ you follow him towards the entryway of your building, โbut youโre being extremely hypocritical right now.โ
โMe?! How?!โ Even in the middle of an argument, Mark holds the apartment lobby door open for you.
โDonโt act as if youโre not involved with Yuta. Heโs a Level Four, and I see how much calmer you are when heโs around. Heโs like a protector, maybe Iโd like a protector too.โย
You think back to how Hyuck had appeared out of nowhere when the tiger hybrid had been aggressive to you, and you feel dirty at the way your panties begin to stick to your core-
โThen go for Jeno or something! Why does it have to be Hyuck?! Heโs a Level Five!โ Mark insists as you enter the elevator. โAnd heโs probably got a bunny fetish-โย
โMark Lee-โ you say, shocked beyond belief, โfor someone whoโs paid to pay attention, you donโt seem to notice the hybrid types that usually surround Hyuck in VIP. Theyโre all cats, Mark- big cats!โย
Your brother doesnโt seem to have a rebuttal for you, so you continue; โBesides, he might not even like me that wayโฆโ
โJeno said that the guy practically swooped down from VIP and smashed a champagne bottle over a tiger hybridโs head just to protect you.โ
โHe smashed it over the guyโs arm and shoulder area,โ you correct.ย
โStill!โ Mark insists. He takes a deep breath, and when he speaks again, his tone has calmed down substantially. โPlease,โ your brother sighs, โtrust me on this.โ
Doesnโt he know rule number 3 of the imaginary sister code? Never take your brotherโs advice, especially when it comes to love.
And you donโt intend to.ย ย
14: Saturday
โSo I heard that then, Donghyuck comes down from VIP and straight up kills this tiger-โย
Markโs been listening to Xiaojun and Hendery discuss last nightโs events since he came into the staff room five minutes ago. Usually their gossip isnโt something that interests him, but tonight, he feels the need to step in.
โHe didnโt kill the tiger-โ Mark groans, drawing the eyes of the other Level Ones who have just finished their own shifts.ย
โHe didnโt?โ Xiaojun blinks.
โHe just- whacked him on the arm or something.โ Mark shakes his head. โJisung apparently spent an hour cleaning up all the shards.โ
โThatโs crazy, dude,โ Hendery's large rat hybrid ears wiggle with distaste. Heโs never been one to enjoy actually working at work, and even Mark had been a little shocked at how much their resident hamster friend had been forced to do to make up for their bossโs outburst.
โAnd it was over your sister, right?โ Xiaojun presses.
Mark had entered this with a sneaking suspicion that the two of them were talking so openly about the incident to get more information, and the bunny decides heโs not about to fall into their feeble minded trap again.ย
Especially not when there are more important matters to attend toโฆ like the schedule heโs currently looking at.ย
Just then, Doyoung walks into the room, and Mark jumps at the opportunity to discuss things with his manager.ย
โHey-โ the bunny grabs the attention of the raven, โit says here that my sisterโs working Wednesday night, I thought you had her on afternoon shifts?โ
โOh-โ Doyoungโs broad wings ruffle behind him, โyeah, there was a schedule change.โ
โI thought I told you that I only wanted her working evening shifts when I can be here,โ Mark sighs. Wednesday is the one night a week he has classes at his local college, and heโs pretty sure everyone here knows it, especially Doyoung.
โUnfortunately, Mark,โ Doyoung adjusts a stray piece of hair thatโs fallen haphazardly over his brow, โyouโre a Level One, and this schedule change was recommended by someone much higher in the food chain than you.โ
โHyuck,โ Mark states. Doyoung might not have said their head bossโs name, but Mark can feel the culprit in his very bones.
โHe told me to offer to schedule you in as well,โ Doyoung breathes, โbut we both know you have class.โย
Mark would bet all his savings that Hyuck knows it too.
Thereโs nothing he can do about it though. He canโt miss class.
He hates how easy it is for Hyuck to be a puppeteer, pulling on everyoneโs strings. And above all, Mark especially hates how youโll probably play right into the Level Fiveโs hands.ย
15: Wednesday
While Hyuck has always been the kind of guy to love watching his club make money, thereโs something to be said about slow nightsโฆ or maybe itโs just the fact that you look calmer.ย
There arenโt fifty plus Level Fours surrounding you, just a handful of Wednesday night regulars, and itโs obvious to Hyuck from his vantage point in VIP that things are easier on you tonight than last Friday.
Heโd also be lying if he said he didnโt enjoy the way you pay particular attention to him. With only a few VIP clients in tonight, you have much more ability to watch his own cup, and you frequently pop up with a bottle of whisky to refill his glass.
On top of all of this, maybe it also has something to do with Mark not being present. Your brother's watchful gaze is understandable, but yet another barrier between you and Hyuck, a barrier heโd been quick to deal with.ย
Tonight, the door is manned by Jaehyun, the stoic black lab, and Jaemin, who looks down at his phone absentmindedly between guests arriving. Neither of these men are intent on watching you, and Hyuck hopes it stays that way.
He enjoys the way your gaze so often shifts to his table, even if itโs just to check on his drink, and for the countless time tonight, you hurry up the steps with his favourite whisky in hand.
โCan I refill that for you?โ you ask.
Hyuck gently pushes his cup forward, remaining silent and watching you.
โI hate to ask this,โ you say, as the amber liquid pours, โbut should I maybe grab you some water? Iโve only been keeping this bottle out for you tonight, and youโve already gone through most of it-โ
โYouโre concerned I canโt handle my liquor?โ Hyuck grins. Youโre such a funny, amusing, little thing.
โYou can definitely handle this, much better than I could, at least,โ youโre quick to assure him. โI just- technically my shift ends soon, and I think Iโm the only one whoโs really been paying attention to you. If I donโt go grab you some water, something tells me youโll be neglected till closing.โ
As if he couldnโt easily wave down Doyoung- but still, Hyuck enjoys the sentiment.
โIf it would make you happy, you can go grab me some water,โ he concedes.
You flash him a small smile, and then youโre scurrying off, his little bunny errand girl.ย
You return with water not two minutes later, and Hyuck has already pulled out a few bills. โHere,โ he says, holding them out to you, โfor paying special attention to me tonight.โย
You blink at the wad of cash. โSir, you donโt have to-โ
โOf course I donโt have to,โ Hyuck interrupts. โI own the place. I can do what I want. And what I want, is to give you this. As a token of my appreciation.โย
He hasnโt bothered to count the exact amount, but he knows itโs somewhere in the hundreds, which is probably why youโre being so nervous about accepting it.
โHere,โ Hyuck sighs, standing. He reaches out, tucking the cash between the waistband of your fanny pack and black dress that's been capturing his attention all shift. โMake sure you donโt lose this.โ
โThank you, I-โ you blink up at him, and Hyuck sees something like stars in your eyes- or maybe thatโs just the light reflecting from the disco ball. โAre you leaving?
โYup,โ Hyuck runs a hand though his hair, smirking and offering you a wink. โIโll see you soon though, yeah?โ
He likes the way you mutter โyeahโ as if you have any choice in the matter, and then he heads down the VIP stairs, ignoring the glare that Doyoung casts his way.
16: Wednesday con't
โYou should take a cab,โ Mark tells you, and part of you wishes youโd never even called your brother while waiting at the bus stop.ย
โIโll be fine,โ you assure him. โItโs late so the bus will be empty.โ
โYeah, itโs late, which makes it more dangerous out there,โ Mark insists.
You open your mouth to argue back, absentmindedly watching a black sports car slowly approach- and then the window is being rolled down, and Hyuck is looking out at you.ย
โNeed a ride?โ
โMark, good news,โ you say into your phone, โHyuck just offered me a lift.โ
โDonโt get in his car,โ comes your brotherโs stern response.ย
โSorry, I canโt hear you, lineโs breaking up-โ you lie, โSee you in ten!โ Then you hang up on Mark, addressing Hyuck for the first time. โYes, thank you, Iโd really appreciate it.โ You grab the door handle, getting into the car and quickly telling him your address. โMark was just hassling me about busses being dangerous-โ
โGood thing youโre safe in here with me now, huh?โ Hyuck grins, waiting for you to have your seatbelt on before he pulls away from the curb.
โVery safe,โ you confirm, even as your bunny senses take a moment to adjust to his overpowering scent. The fiery nature of his presence is something youโve gotten more and more used to, and in the back of your mind you wonder if he - like his business partner Renjun - is a phoenix of some sort.
โYou did good today, on shift,โ Hyuck says, and the praise makes your heart sing in your chest.
โThank you.โ
โAnd youโre doing good now, too, you know. Not many Level One hybrids like to be near me, let alone locked in a car with me.โ Hyuckโs fingers gently tap on the steering wheel. โDid your brother ever tell you how he puked the first time we met?โ
You laugh. โMark hasnโt talked about it, but Yuta mentioned it during my scent trial.โ
โIf you feel sick, let me know and weโll roll down a window,โ Hyuck teases.
โI mean,โ you feel your skin heating, โIโve got butterflies in my stomach, but itโs not puking related.โ
Hyuck sneaks a glance at you. โReally?โย
โUh huh.โ You look away shyly.
A moment later, his warm hand is finding the middle of your thigh, and he gives you a gentle squeeze.ย
โYouโre cute, bunny,โ he tells you, and just as you think things might get even hotter, he pulls away, fingers returning to the wheel. โItโs good to have you on the team.โ
โItโs good to be on a team.โ Good to feel appreciated.
Hyuckโs a fast driver, and the roads are dead on a Wednesday night, so youโre turning onto your street much sooner than youโd wish to be. To your surprise, you can already see Mark waiting on the curb for you.ย
โAnd thereโs your brother,โ Hyuck sighs. He pulls over a little distance away from your apartment, and Mark begins approaching. โI guess Iโll see you at your shift on Friday night.โ
โI guess so.โ
โYou should plan on ending early again, Iโll want your company in VIP.โ
โIs Doyoung going to be okay with that?โ you question. โAnd besides, who says I want to come to VIP? Havenโt I told you already that youโre my boss-โ
โLook,โ Hyuck cuts you off, โIf you werenโt up for it, you wouldnโt be in my car right now.โ
Heโs right, but you wonโt admit it. You just stare at him as Mark comes all the way up to the car with a mildly frustrated scrunch to his nose-
โLike I said,โ Hyuck laughs, watching you reach for the handle to exit his vehicle, โIโll see you at your next shift.โย
17: Saturday
โYouโve gotta stop eye fucking my new hire.โ
Hyuck assesses Doyoung over the rim of his whisky glass. Itโs a busy Saturday night and Hyuck canโt believe the raven hybrid is broaching this subject now of all times.ย
โUh oh,โ Hyuck grins at Yuta next to him. โLooks like Iโve ruffled some feathersโฆโ His gaze shifts to Doyoung again, โIโve gotta stop eye fucking your new hire.. Or what?โ
โOr weโre going to lose Mark, his sister, and Jaemin and Jeno, because those two losers do everything Mark does-โย
โThey might be losers, but neither Jaemin or Jeno is stupid enough to quit working here,โ Hyuck scoffs. โBesidesโฆ why is it so wrong for me to want to get to know the cutest Lee bunny?โ
โWell for starters,โ Doyoung sighs with exasperation, โYouโre her boss?!โ
โGet on Yutaโs back then,โ Hyuck chuckles, nudging the wolf seated next to him.
โAnd second-โ Doyoung continues, โbecause itโs just some weird bunny fetish, and itโs not good. Your intentions arenโt pure.โย
โBunny fetishes can be fun,โ Yuta notes, and although Hyuck agrees with his friend, this is definitely not a case of Bunny fetishizationโฆ or at least, he doesn't think it is.ย
โIโm getting awfully tired of you questioning me,โ Hyuck sighs.ย
Doyoung lowers his voice, but his words are still laced with venom when he says โAnd Iโm getting tired of you watching y/n work her butt off to pay rent while you sit up here at VIP drinking expensive whisky!โย
โYou know what?โ Hyuck stands up. โFine! If you want me to be a gentleman about it, Iโll go and ask her on a real date, howโs that sound?โ
โThatโs not what I meant-โ Doyoungโs pale skin flushes a deep red colour, and it only pushes Hyuck to act quicker.
โToo late, Iโm going, right now.โ He brushes by the dumbstruck raven, heading down the VIP stairs.ย
His eyes are on the prize; you. Specifically, his gaze is fixed on your cute little tail and perfect ass. Your back is to him as you stand at the bar, waiting for Taeyong to grab you a bottle of wine, and for a moment, Hyuck thinks it might be fun to ambush you-
Then he sees a shiver run up your spine, and you turn to look at him, lips parting in a silent question.
โHey you,โ Hyuck grins. โGot a second?โ
โFor you, I have two or so minutes.โย
โThereโs my funny little bunny,โ he says affectionately. โListen, Doyoungโs mad that I keep looking at you. He thinks my intentions are- well, letโs just say he thinks Iโm going to be a dick about this. To prove him wrong, I thought Iโd ask you out. How do you feel about brunch?โ
โI meanโฆโ he watches you swallow thickly, โI love brunch- but, you donโt really seem like a brunch kind of guy?โย
โThatโs just because you donโt know me yet,โ he winks at you. โBrunch is good because I work in the evenings.โ
โOh, right-โ
โI know youโve gotta quickly run away like the little Energizer Bunny you are, so Iโll make this quick. I know a place with a great view and the best mimosas in townโฆ what do you say about tomorrow?โ
You look up at him with those big pretty eyes of yours, and then your gaze shifts over his shoulder. He wonders if youโre looking for Mark, but then youโre nodding. โPick me up at noon?โ
Hyuck nods. โYou got it, bunny. I do know where you live.โย
18: Sunday
When Hyuck drives you to an expensive apartment building, youโre a little confused. But you play along as he parks in the underground and takes you to the elevator.
โThe best mimosas in town,โ he assures you. โI guarantee.โย
โI trust you,โ you laugh, leaning back against the wall of the lift and watching him with a smile.
He looks good today, but when does he ever not look good?
In black dress pants and a silky charcoal shirt, with its sleeves rolled up to expose tanned, veiny forearms-
Well, thereโs a lot you want to do with the Level Five hybrid in front of you, things youโd never do with a boss.ย
You admire the golden tint to his skin, and think through a list of things he could be. Thereโs the phoenix, kitsune, dragon, griffin, chimera, unicorn- youโre pretty sure heโs not a unicorn, but at this point, he could be just about anything.ย
The elevator dings and the doors open. You find yourself walking into a lovely entry way, and youโre certain now that this location couldnโt possibly be a restaurant.
โWelcome to my home,โ Hyuck tells you, flourishing an arm. โAlso known as the place with the best mimosas in town.โ
โWell arenโt you confident in your cocktail abilities,โ you quirk a brow.
โSure, but Iโm actually talking about my private chef,โ Hyuck laughs, leading you through a lush living room to the open concept kitchen, were low and behold, a human is standing there preparing food.
You can tell heโs not one of you by the way he smells, and the fact that, while still focused on his craft, his eyes are slow to find you. โHi there,โ the chef smiles.
โY/N, this is Jin. Jin, this is our lovely brunch guest.โ
โPleasure to meet you,โ Jin waves his knife around as if it were his own hand giving you a greeting.ย
โI was thinking,โ Hyuckโs palm finds the small of your back, โwe could sit on the terrace, have some food, and I could give you a full tour later.โ
โWorks for me,โ you agree, giving one final nod to the chef before allowing the Level Five to guide you through his home once more.
The terrace is lovely. The view is no joke, and itโs decorated modestly with a table and chairs, with many plants livening up the place and enjoying the sun. Hyuck pulls out a chair for you and you sit with your eyes still taking in all the lavish wonder his home has to offer.ย
โWow,โ you muse, smiling as he takes his own seat, โyouโre really pulling out all the stops today, arenโt you?โ
โI told Doyoung Iโd be a gentleman, so here I am,โ he shrugs.ย
โItโs nice that heโs so protective of me,โ you muse.ย
โIt feels like everyone who meets you feels protective,โ Hyuck nods. โIs that just due to your bunny charm, or is it something deeper?โ
โLetโs just leave it at bunny charm, donโt you think?โ you laugh.ย
โSo youโre not a little flirt then?โ
You take a moment to respond, grinning before you tell him, โonly for you.โย
โGood. Thatโs what I like to hear.โย
Jin arrives with mimosas a moment later, and before you know it, youโre sipping on your drink and laughing with Hyuck in the afternoon sun.ย
Itโs easier to talk with him in this non work setting, and the view gives you a constant thing to marvel at- aside from the beautiful man youโre conversing with. You find it easier and easier to hold his gaze, but youโre still not fully comfortable with him yet.
The chef interrupts for a second time, holding two platters of food. On one is every veggie and fruit you could possibly imagine, and on the other are more suitable brunch foods.
โI wasnโt sure what you liked,โ Hyuck says, scanning the eggs, bacon and sausage links, โso I told Jin to make whatever heโs best at. I hope thereโs something here for you to eat.โ
โThis is wonderful,โ you look to the chef, โthank you.โ
He simply nods. โIs there anything else you two might need before I leave for the day?โย
Hyuck waits for you to respond, and after another look at the food in front of you, you shake your head. โThis will be perfect.โ
Hyuck nods to his chef, and Jin excuses himself.ย
When you begin to put things on your plate, you keep your bunny ears open, listening to the chef grab his things and depart. It feels like a weight has been lifted as soon as you know youโre alone with Hyuck, and he visibly relaxes also.ย
โSomethingโs on your mind,โ he says, toying with a piece of bacon. โTell me.โย
โIโm just thinking about what kind of hybrid you are,โ you confess.
โAny guesses?โย
โA few.โ
โLetโs hear them then. Come on Bunny, spill.โ
You smile at the Level Five. โAt first, I thought you might be some kind of snake-โ
โDefinitely not.โ
โYeah, donโt be mad, but Mark told me I was way off. He also may have let it slip that one of your friends is a Phoenix-''
โHe did, did he?โ Hyuck arches a brow, but you donโt see any anger in his expression, only amusement.
โHe did,โ you confirm. โSo I figure, if weโre in the realm of mythical beasts, well, I donโt see any hybrid marks on you-โ
โItโs a Level Five adaptation,โ he tells you. โSo we can blend. Renjun canโt have fire wings protruding out of his back every day now can he? Thatโs a fire hazard if Iโve ever heard of one.โย
โI guess not-โ you laugh at the joke, โbutโฆ he does have wings?โ
โThey retract, back under the skin,โ Hyuck nods.ย
โSoโฆ theoretically,โ you put a fruit down on your plate, giving Hyuck your full attention, โyou could be anything.โย
โTheoretically.โ
You assess him for a moment longer. โOkay, this information totally derails all my theories, but I guess, I was sort of thinking you could also be a phoenix, due to your eyes flaring red. Or maybe a kitsune because youโre kind of fox-like and mischievous-โ
โAm I?โ
โYou definitely are,โ you laugh.ย
โAny other theories?โย
โI mean, you could always be a dragon or something-โ you mean it as something of an off hand joke, but the way Hyuckโs chin tilts down ever so slightly- his eyes suddenly going serious- you think you may have just guessed your way into a truth โWait, no, you canโt be-โ
โDoes it scare you?โ Hyuck asks, cocking his head to the side.ย
You take a breath, trying to ground yourself in your own body. Itโs hard to say exactly what you feel, but itโs definitely not fear. โDo youโฆ do you have retractable wings too?โ
โBig ones,โ he confirms, โand theyโre a pretty golden colour.โ
Part of you wants to see them, but you bite your tongue, considering what heโd said about Renjunโs own wings. โDoes it-โ you swallow thickly, โdoes it hurt when you retract them?โ
Hyuck watches you, and itโs a few moments before he answers. โNo oneโs ever asked me that before,โ he confesses. โBut yeah. It hurts.โ
Thereโs silence at the brunch table. Your mind is going a million miles a minute, trying to process what heโs just revealed to you.
โMost people want to see my wings when they find out what I am,โ he states. โDonโt you want to see them?โ
โNot if it hurts you!โย
Hyuck chuckles. โYouโre a funny little bunny, has anyone ever told you that?โ
โIโm sorry-โ
โDonโt be,โ he waves his hand. โYou have nothing to be sorry for. In fact, Iโm impressed. You guessed what I am, and like I said, most people just want to see my wings. They donโt care about the pain of skin tearing to reveal the mark of my hybrid self, but you do. Iโve gotta sayโฆโ the dragon sips his mimosa, โI like you, bunny.โ
โYou do?โ your voice is practically a squeak.
โIt might be stupid, but Iโve been around a long time- and I donโt think Iโve ever met someone quite like you, let alone a Level One.โ Hyuck cocks his head to the side again, eyes scanning your form. โYouโre something special, arenโt you, bunny?โ
You open your mouth to respond, but before you can, your phone rings loudly in your purse.
โShit,โ you cuss, immediately knowing whoโs calling; โit must be Mark-โ
โIโm going to take a wild guess and say you havenโt told him who youโre with right now.โ
โOf course not-โ you swallow thickly. โIโm really sorry, but I have to answer this-โ
โGo ahead.โ Hyuck leans back in his chair, eyes never leaving you.ย
With one last sigh, you answer your phone. โMark?โ
โWhere are you?โ
โUh-โ you lick your lips, โYeji wanted to meet up for a bit-โ
โAre you coming home soon?โ your brother presses. โJeno said heโd help me move this new shelf into my room that we found down at the thrift store, but he bailed.โ
โI can come help,โ you say without a second thought.ย
โAwesome! See you soon then!โ
โBye!โ You hang up, gaze lifting to meet Hyuckโs. โIโm really sorry-โ
โAgain, donโt be,โ he tells you. โYouโve told me that youโre a bunny who likes to help, and it sounds like Jeno fucked Mark over. Of course you need to go help your brother, although- I have to admit, the idea of two bunnies carrying a bookshelf is a little amusing-โ Hyuck downs the rest of his mimosa. โSo our secret brunch gets cut shortโฆ come on, Iโll give you a ride home.โย
19: Wednesday
Watching you work your Wednesday evening shift, Hyuck canโt get the thought of kissing you out of his head. When heโd dropped you off a block from your home on Sunday, heโd known it wasnโt the right time to make a move, and for two nights heโs been dreaming about what ifโs.
What if he had kissed you. What if he had cupped your jaw and pressed his lips to yours, moving gently and taking things at your pace. What if his tongue had just happened to glide across your own, earning a pretty moan-
Every time you come to refill his cup, Hyuck finds his patience running thinner and thinner- by the time your shift is officially over, the dragon practically pounces, following you into the staff room.
To his dismay, Taeil is also there, and the Level Five has to push his instincts to the side. You canโt have your first kiss at work, and he hates it- but he knows it too.ย
โHi, Hyuck,โ you smile at him while pulling your bag from your locker, wrapping your hot little body in a jacket appropriate for the weather outside.
โHi, Bunny.โ He leans against the lockers, looking you up and down. โShiftโs overโฆ how do you feel about coming over to my place,โ his gaze moves to Taeil, โI need to talk to you about your resume.โ
Taeil scoffs loudly, and it seems the lie hasnโt worked on you or the Level Two who hurries to exit the space.ย
โI canโt,โ you frown. โAs much as Iโm sure my resume needs to be discussed, Markโs waiting for me at home.โย
โHow about tomorrow?โ Hyuck presses.
You cock a brow at him, and Hyuck wants to throw you against the lockers and have his way with you-
โAre you really that eager?โ you question.
โYes.โย
You smile up at him, and each second you wait to answer is practically painful for the dragon. Heโs used to getting what he wants, and what he wants right now, is you.ย
โI can see you tomorrow,โ you confirm. โYour place again?โ
โUh huh,โ Hyuck nods. โBut this time, no private chef.โ
โI wasnโt aware you wanted to get me alone so badly.โ
โThen you havenโt been paying attention.โ
You laugh, and Hyuck only wishes you knew how much energy itโs taking to hold himself back from you right now.ย
โLet me give you a ride home,โ Hyuck insists.
โYou know,โ you grin, โIโm finding it harder and harder to say no to you.โ
Not only does Hyuck know this fact, heโs banking on it.ย
20: Wednesday con't
When youโd arrived home on Sunday, one whiff of you had told Mark that youโd been with Hyuck. The Level Fiveโs dragon scent had clung to you like the smell of weed on a stoner, and despite every fibre of his being telling Mark to cause a fuss about it, heโd tried to play things cool.
The more he argues with you about Hyuck, the more he realizes he has to come to terms with the fact that youโre going to do what you want to do, advice be damned.ย
To be fair, other than the overtly horrible way Markโs body had reacted when he first met the dragon, Hyuck hasnโt ever actually done anything bad to Mark personally.ย
When you and he had been children, your mother had told you to follow your noses, and Mark had taken that as personal gospel. One wiff of the dragon had been enough to send him in the opposite directionโฆ but his nose is not your nose.ย
If your nose is directing you towards the Level Fiveโฆ then Mark supposes thatโs your own truth, and maybe he has to respect that.ย
With all of this in mind, however, Mark still gets annoyed when you show up home from your shift wreaking of dragon. And he hates the way you walk down the street as if youโd taken the bus, as if you hadnโt gotten a ride home.
Mark holds the door open for you to enter your apartment building, and in the elevator, he finally finds his nerve to address the problem. โI really wish you wouldnโt hide things from me.โ
โWhat do you mean?โ
โI mean,โ Mark sighs, โif Hyuck drove you home, thatโs fine. Next time, just tell him to drop you off where I can see you instead of parking around the corner.โย
โWell what if he drops me off out of your sight because he wants to kiss me?โ
โHas he kissed you?!โ Markโs hands ball into fists, an innate reaction when it comes to hearing a dragon may have done bits with his sister-
โNo,โ you confess. โBut in the future he might.โ
โSo you guys are getting serious, huh?โ Mark tries to control his breathing.ย
โI think so.โ The elevator is quiet for a moment. โIโm sorry Iโve been lying to you about seeing him.โ
Some of the tension in Markโs shoulders dissipate, and he lets out a sigh. โIโm sorry I put you in a situation where you felt the need to lieโฆ but, with that being saidโฆ if Hyuck ever hurts you, I donโt care if Iโm a Level One bunny, Iโll kick that dudeโs ass.โย
โSure you will, Mark,โ you smile fondly at your brother as you leave the elevator.
โIโm serious.โ
โI know you areโฆ and if Iโm being honest, I donโt think anything โbadโ will happen, at least, not the type of things I think youโre expecting. Hyuck seems like a good guy. I donโt think he goes on real dates often, and that has to count for something, right?โ
โI guess,โ Mark sighs.ย ย
โBesides, stranger things have happened.โ
โStranger than a bunny falling for a dragon? Her biggest and most vicious natural predator?โ
โHonestly,โ you laugh, โthe fact that Level Fiveโs even exist is pretty strange, even in a world full of hybrids.โ
Mark canโt argue with you there.ย
21: Thursdayย
You definitely know what to expect when you get to Hyuckโs apartment, and the matching bra and pantie set under your dress is proof of it. What youโre not prepared for, however, is the way the dragon keeps his hands off of you even in the elevator.
Sure, his eyes are practically burning a hole into you, but he stays on his side of the lift.
โHyuck?โ you say his name as you step into the entryway of his penthouse.
โShould I give you a tour now?โ he asks. โSeeing as we missed doing that last time-โ
โI meanโฆโ you play with the hem of your pretty dress, โsure, you can give me a tour.โ
โBut?โ He smirks at you. โIt sounds like thereโs a but in there somewhere.โ
โI was justโฆโ you bite on your lip, โarenโt you going to tell me Iโm pretty?โ
His eyes visibly darken, and they take their sweet time looking you up and down. โYou look good enough to eat, bunny.โ
โThen why donโt you?โ you ask. โEat me, I mean. But in a sexy way, not a dragon way.โย
Hyuck lets out a shaky breath, and then his hands are reaching for your waist, tugging you tight to his chest. โIs that really what you want?โ
โIsnโt it what you want?โย
โI need to know youโre not just doing this because youโre a people pleaser,โ Hyuck says. โOr because Iโm your boss.โ
โActually, I think Iโm doing this despite the fact that youโre sort of my boss.โย
โYeah?โ He grins, and you practically melt getting an up close and personal look at his pretty, sharp, canines.ย
โPlease, Hyuck-โ you ball your hands in the fabric of his crisp white dress shirt, โjust kiss me.โ
โBunny,โ his hand comes up to cup your cheek, โI thought youโd never ask.โ
Heโs surprisingly gentle as he presses his lips to your own, and for a moment, you wonder if heโs even a dragon at all. Youโd expected him to be rough- as needy as heโd seemed last night. Instead, heโs controlled, thumb stroking your cheek bone while he kisses you with intention.
His tongue swipes past your bottom lip and you stifle a groan, shifting to wrap your arms around the back of his neck while you open your mouth for him.
Hyuck lets out something of a growl, and the sound nearly rattles your bones. It reminds you who youโre dealing with, and you find yourself clinging to him even tighter.
ย A whimper of pleasure escapes you and thatโs all it takes for Hyuck to snap.
In one fluid motion, he reaches down and grabs your bum, lifting you up so your legs wrap around his waist. Heโs strong, and you love it.ย
Nothing has ever felt as good as kissing him does, and you get lost in his lips- so lost, that you hardly even realize heโs carrying you through his home.
You break the kiss to catch your breath, and thatโs when you notice heโs taken you to his room. His mouth is hot on your throat while you look around, soaking in the ambiance of his most personal space.
โYour room is nice,โ you tell him, but your words come out in moans when he finds your sweet spot and his sharp teeth drag against your skin.ย
โNicer with you in it,โ comes his quick witted retort, and it makes your panties stick to your core uncomfortably.ย
โI like it when you praise me,โ you whisper as he moves you closer to the bed, laying you down on the silky covers.
โYeah?โ Hyuck looks down at you, breaking your body contact enough for him to tear off his shirt. โMy little bunny likes being told what a good girl she is?โ
You whimper, eating up each piece of newly exposed skin with your eyes, which drift down-
Thereโs a bulge in the front of his pants, and it makes your mouth water.
โHyuck, youโre so big-โ you reach out, and youโre almost surprised he doesnโt bat your hand away. He lets you touch him through his pants, throwing his head back to let out a moan that does wonders for your pussy.
โProbably the biggest youโll ever have,โ Hyuck breathes. โDragon perk.โย
His gaze finds you again, and he lets out something between a chuckle and a groan. โFuck, Bunny- you have such tiny hands-โ
โAnything compared to your huge dragon cock would look tiny,โ you defend yourself, and it makes Hyuck laugh.ย
โI canโt believe-โ his hips push forward as you trace him, โcanโt believe we just kissed for the first time and now youโre going to let me fuck you. I guess the term โfucking like bunniesโ came from somewhere, huh?โย
You can only whimper in response, too busy oggling his massive cock to think coherent sentences.ย
โTell me you want me to fuck you.โ
โI want you to fuck me,โ you moan.
โTell me youโre my good little bunny.โ
โIโm your perfect little bunny.โ
โYeah, you are-โ Hyuckโs hands find his belt. โTake off your dress. I wanna see you.โ
โCanโt you take it off of me yourself?โ you suggest, and the dragonโs motions stop.
He looks down at you. Then heโs on top of you, pressing you between his hot body and the mattress while his hand wraps around your throat. He applies just enough pressure to make your eyes widen, and he grins. โFor a people pleasing little bunny, sometimes you can be a bit of a brat.โ
โI just thought youโd want to unwrap your present.โย
Hyuck lets out a deep groan, and then heโs kissing you again. His lips are desperate against your own now, and his tongue invades your mouth with newfound fervour.ย
You tangle your fingers in his pretty hair, and Hyuck grinds down against you, dragging the front of his pants across your panty covered core.
โMmm-โ you whimper. โHyuck-โย
โThatโs it, pretty bunny, say my name,โ he growls, pressing feverish kisses down to your throat again while he ruts his hips-
โPlease, I need you so bad-โ Youโve been needing him since that first day you met, and youโre only truly realizing it now. โIโm so wet-โ
โDirty bunny,โ Hyuckโs lips continue downward, and he lifts up your dress, exposing your belly for his hot mouth. Then his fingers hook in your panties. โAsk nicely for me to eat you out.โ
โPlease, Hyuck, Iโd be yours forever-โ
โYouโre already mine,โ the Level Five growls, tearing your panties off your body in one rough tug that leaves you gasping. โDragonโs covet pretty things,โ he tells you as he settles down between your thighs, his breath teasing your pussy- โand you, my perfect little bunny, are the prettiest thing Iโve ever seen.โย
โHyuck-โ you whimper desperately, pushing your hips up in the hope it will entice him-
His hands firmly hold you to the bed. โIโve never needed anything more than I need you,โ he presses a kiss to your inner thigh that has you crying out-ย
Heโs so close- so close to giving you what you need-
โPlease-โย
Red eyes meet yours as he brings his mouth to your pussy, and a squeal of delight erupts out of you.ย
Your hands reach down to tangle in his hair, looking for an anchor, and to your surprise, Hyuck offers you his own hand, linking his fingers with yours and giving you a gentle squeeze even as he buries his tongue in your wet hole.
โYou feel so good,โ you praise him, and youโre rewarded by his lips wrapping around your clit.
More cries of pleasure escape you, and with one of his hands still holding you down, thereโs nothing you can do but close your eyes and enjoy what heโs giving you.
โOh my god-โ your stomach is twisting into knots faster than youโd ever imagined it could, โIโm gonna cum-โ
Hyuck pulls away from your pussy and lets go of your hand, causing you to whine loudly- only for one of his fingers to slip into you.ย
โAlready?โ he taunts. โFuck, youโre so tight, bunny. Hasnโt anyone fucked you properly?โ
โNo,โ you shake your head, โnot properly, not like you-โ
โYou havenโt even had me yet,โ he chuckles, and his breath on your pussy makes you twitch.
โI just know-โ you insist. โYour so big, so good, gonna stretch me out so good-โ
โListen to you blabber, my cute little blabbering bunnyโฆโ He adds a second finger and you whimper loudly. โI guess you can cum.โ His lips return to your clit, and the feeling of both his digits and his mouth has you seeing stars.
โHyuck-โ you gasp, body tensing on the precipice of euphoria-ย
Then itโs slamming into you, and try as you might to buck your hips, Hyuck holds you down through your high. His tongue flicks your clit while you nearly scream with pleasure.ย
Without his hand to grab onto, youโre left grasping at the sheets, but try as you might, nothing keeps you anchored to earth. You can feel your body ascending to something akin to heaven, and your mind goes completely blank except for the wonderful tingles that jitter through your form.ย
โThatโs it, bunny,โ Hyuckโs breath is hot when he pulls away from your clit, but his fingers continue inside your wet core, โlook at my pretty girl cumming for me. Youโre so perfect-โ
โHyuck-โ youโre nearly crying now, on the cusp of beginning to shake from overstimulation-
The dragon lets up, and when he takes his fingers out of your pussy, the smell of you engulfs your senses.
Youโre too tired to open your eyes just yet, but you hear Hyuck lick his fingers clean, and he groans. โYou taste as good as you look, pretty bunny,โ he tells you, โjust like I always knew you would.โย ย
If you had the energy, you might ask him how long heโs been thinking about doing this to you- but you can hardly find the words to speak as you attempt to catch your breath.
โAw, is my bunny crying?โ The bed dips as Hyuck settles his hips flush against your own again, an elbow pressing into the bed beside your head while his hand cups your cheek.
โNo,โ you whisper.
โLiar,โ Hyuck chuckles. โShould I fuck you now? Would that make everything better, bunny?โ
โYes, butโฆโ you take a breath, still recovering from the intensity of your orgasm, โyou should knowโฆ if you ever hurt me, Mark will kick your ass.โ
โNot you thinking of your brother right now.โ
โIโm serious,โ you swallow thickly. โYouโll have like, two bunnies, a bengal cat, a hamster, two dobermans- a whole hoard of people coming to kick your ass-โ
โOh, Iโm so scared of a hoard of Level Ones and Threes,โ Hyuck laughs, pressing a kiss to your throat. โI promise not to hurt you. Unless you ask me to.โย
โSplit me open.โย
โYou got it, bunny.โ The dragon sits up again, and he removes both of your clothes faster than you can keep track of. โI tried to stretch you out with my fingers, butโฆ wellโฆ it might not have helped much,โ he tells you, and you open your eyes to watch him spit on his hand, lubing his cock up.
Heโs big. Even bigger now that his pants are off, and part of you wonders how heโs even going to fit inside of you. However, you know heโll make it fit.ย
โYou ready?โ he asks, laying over you again and pressing a gentle kiss to your lips.ย
You can feel his cock throbbing on your thigh, and another gush of wetness between your legs makes you nod enthusiastically. โPlease-โ
He wraps one hand around the base of his cock, guiding the head to your hole- you gasp at the feeling of the intrusion as he slowly pushes into you.ย
โOh my god-โ you wrap your arms around the back of his neck, eagerly seeking out his lips as some form of distraction-
You know it will feel good once heโs inside of you properly, once he starts to thrust-ย
โThatโs it,โ Hyuck groans against your mouth, โGood bunny-โย
โYouโre so big-โ
โI know,โ he assures you, โand youโre taking me so well-โ
His praise definitely makes you relax, and he slips deeper and deeper into your core until his hips are flush with your own. You both let out groans of pleasure, and Hyuck breaks your kiss. โIโm gonna fuck you now,โ he tells you. โBe my perfect little bunny and let me know when youโre going to cum.โ
You love how certain he is that youโll reach your high again. A few of your past lovers had missed the mark completely, but Hyuck doesnโt seem like the kind of guy who misses.ย
He certainly doesnโt miss your gspot, his cock dragging against it with each thrust-ย
You can feel your pussy squeezing him, can feel your toes curling with pleasure as he finds an increasingly rough pace.ย
โFuck-โ Hyuck groans, lacing his fingers with yours and pinning you to the bed while his lips press kisses along your throat. โYou feel amazing-โ
Youโre pretty sure heโs the one who feels amazing- any hole would be tight around a cock like his, youโre just glad you get to be his hole tonight- and hopefully something more afterward.
ย โAnd listen to your pretty whimpers-โ the dragon hybrid fucking you moans loudly. โYou sound so fucking good for me, whoโs my perfect bunny?โ
โI am!โ
โAnd who loves this big cock stretching out her tight fucking pussy?โ
โI do!โ Youโre nearly crying again. โHyuck, Iโm gonna cum- Iโm gonna cum so hard- please-โ
โHold it for me, bunny,โ he gasps against your neck. โIf you cum, Iโll cum, and Iโm not quite done with you yet.โ
You squeeze his fingers, focusing all your strength on holding off the orgasm thatโs beginning to tingle up your toes-ย
โSo tight, so warm, so good for me-โ Hyuck groans again.
โPlease-โ you feel a tear slip down your cheek. โI canโt hold it- I need to cum- need to cum so badly- please, Hyuck-โ
โFuck, I love it when you beg-โ The dragon fucks you even harder, and you know that thereโs no way youโll be able to hold off your orgasm now- โYou can cum. Cum for me. Come on bunny, cum on this cock.โ
โHyuck!โ His name feels like a prayer, tumbling our of your lips as your orgasm takes over your body. If youโd thought the first one had been heavenly euphoria, you donโt even know how to describe this high.
Itโs pure ecstasy, all encompassing and white hot. It sends electric tingles of pleasure up and down your form, making you cry out, muscles tensing as literal contractions wrack your body-ย
โFuck-โ Hyuck lets out a low groan, and then heโs cumming inside of you, filling you up with everything heโs worth- thereโs no fear of you getting pregnant, as cross species hybrids canโt mix, so youโre left to simply enjoy the feeling.
The sounds he makes are music to your ears too, and you swear you could listen to him cum all day long-ย
He works you through your high, squeezing your hands as his pace begins to slow. When youโre both done, he presses his mouth to yours, kissing you while you both gasp and struggle to catch your breaths.ย
โYouโre so good-โ he tells you. โSo good for me, bunny-โย
Youโve never felt this good in your entire life, and when Hyuck releases your hands, you wrap your arms around the back of his neck, holding him close. You can feel his heart thundering in his chest, and his smell engulfs you. Itโs comforting in a way-ย
He might be a big scary Level Five dragon hybrid, but heโs your big scary Level Five dragon hybrid.ย
You feel safe with him, like youโve never felt safe with anyone in your entire life.
โItโs cute,โ Hyuck sighs, โwhat you said about your hoard of friends earlier.โ
โCute?โ you echo, opening your eyes to blink up at your new lover.
โIf it makes anyone feel safer about this situation, I could work on getting to know them better.โ
You canโt believe heโs offering this, while still buried balls deep in your pussy. A laugh bubbles out of you, and you find yourself nodding. โI think Iโd like that.โ
Hyuck grins down at you, pressing a kiss to the tip of your nose, and when he looks at you, thereโs nothing but adoration in his pretty caramel-coloured eyes. โAnything for my Little Bunny.โ
And you can tell that he means it.

bonus
When youโd started seeing Hyuck, youโd thought youโd have the end of unwanted attention while working. Surely his outburst with the champagne bottle and the tiger hybrid was enough of a warning to others, and if not that, then his predatory scent marking you as taken should ward off other would-be suitors-
But nothing, as it seems, is ever enough to keep a Level Four away from a little bunny.ย
A particularly proud lion hybrid has been trying to capture your attention for over an hour, and you can feel Hyuckโs eyes burning into the back of your head from VIP. Yet, your dragon lover stays with his friends, and you wonder if heโs given the lion grace because the man has kept his hands to himself.
โI dont want another scene,โ Doyoung says when you head to the bar to fill a drink order. His gaze is aimed towards VIP, and you think he must be in one of his staring matches with your boyfriend, they do this much too often.ย
โIโll try not to make one then,โ you promise, โbut I canโt help it if the lion decides to test his luck.โ
The raven looks at you with a flicker of amusement in his eyes. โWhich is why Iโm sending you to the keg room on an errand. The Guinness needs to be refilled, think you can handle that?โ
While Jungwoo had shown you how the keg room in the basement worked when you first got hired, youโve never been asked to do it yourself. You turn to look at your manager with confusion. โArenโt the kegs really heavy?โ
โTake Jeno with you,โ comes his quick response. โI just need you off the floor for a bit. That lion whoโs been flirting with you is getting drunk enough for me to cut him off. Iโll go settle his tab and when you come back up, he should be gone, if he knows whatโs good for him.โ
While Doyoung is quite thin and birdlike in appearance, heโs still a Level Three predator, and you sometimes forget that the raven can hold his own. Heโs a manager for a reason, after all, and you respect when he makes decisions like this.
โIโll go grab Jeno and get that keg fixed for you then,โ you agree with a nod.ย
โTake your time.โ Doyoung assesses the tray of drinks that his Persian hybrid bartender has just set in front of you. โIโll get Jaemin to take these out for you while youโre away.โ
With another quick head motion of agreement, you dart off to find Jeno.ย
The doberman is never that difficult to locate, and tonight you find him monitoring the steps to VIP. The club is packed on a Saturday night, and despite red ropes keeping unsuspecting partygoers away from Hyuck and his friends, the crowd has been encroaching on the sanctity of VIP for over an hour.
โHey!โ you say, raising your voice so your friend can hear you over the loud house music blasting through the speakers. Jeno leans in and you steady your hand on his shoulder so you can relay the information in his ear, โDoyoung wanted us to go deal with a keg!โ
Jeno gives you a quick nod, and then heโs pushing through the swarm of people. Before you follow, your gaze shift up to VIP, and you notice Hyuck has stood from his table. His red, dragon eyes are fixed on you, and he looks to be on high alert. When you send him a smile, his shoulders relax ever so slightly, and then youโre turning to race after the doberman hybrid.
