Jimin is a very young hybrid adopted by Jungkook and Taehyung last week. He is a cat hybrid, a calico one. He has soft and fluffy tail and ears popping out of his blond hair. He has a healthy light skin and small build.
And all his features only making the two college boys who has adopted him adore him even more. Or maybe they are a bit too indulged with the presence of their new hybrid.
“I want to bite him!”
Jungkook smacks the back of Taehyung’s head. Jimin looks like he is still not comfortable and too stiff around them and Taehyung’s words seem to worsen the situation. Now the hybrid runs to the corner of the room and curls to make his body seems smaller that it already is.
“Look now you scare him even more!”
Taehyung pouts but doesn’t retort back like he usually does.
Jungkook huffs a tired sigh before takes careful steps to the hybrid.
Maybe what their group said about they are too young and clumsy to adopt a young and fragile hybrid is right.
Last week when Jimin first arrived at their home they were a bit too excited and practically jumped onto him, which ended up frightening the small cat hybrid. Jimin won’t stop crying and trembling the whole day. They had to call the hyungs to calm the poor hybrid. Jin was quick to soothe Jimin with his advance skill with hybrids.
After a few days they finally can keep the hybrid by themselves without the hyungs have to barge in and intervene their way in treating the hybrid.
Jimin is easily scared. He was born as the smallest hybrid in the hybrid center and his hybrid friends like to tease him about his small figure. He was so close to the owner of his hybrid center and knowing that he was adopted meant he had to leave his comfort and safe blanket. His friends told him that humans only adopt hybrids to abuse them and usually the hybrids would only end up being human’s slaves. Of course little Jimin's so scared of human.
“Hey Jimin,” Jungkook talks softly, hands reaching out carefully.
Jimin looks up with teary eyes and trembling lips.
It makes Jungkook and and Taehyung’s heart crushes to see how terrified their hybrid.
Jungkook taps oh the hybrid’s knee “You don’t have to be afraid. I am-” Taehyung nudges him sharply , “I mean we are here to protect you. You are safe with us,” He says it with genuinely and sincerity in his eyes.
And with that words Jimin throws himself into Jungkook welcoming arms, followed with Taehyung wrapping Jimin’s small body from behind.
After a minute of them just stay in that position without any word shared Jimin finally lets out a small whisper. “Please don’t hurt Jiminnie,”
10 years later…
“Bitch!” Jimin yells out.
Taehyung gasps at the teenage hybrid who’s now pouting hardly at him and Jungkook.
“Jimin, where did you learn that word from?”
Jimin only replies with jutted lips.
“Jimin baby, take that word back and we don’t need to take this case any further,” Jungkook tries to soothe the tension in the heated situation.
“Bitch!”
“Jimin”! Taehyung screams from the top of his lungs.
It’s been 10 years since their little Jimin has lived with them. Everyday is a great and happy day for them, till Jimin has started acting out a couple weeks ago. It’s all begin with him didn’t want to cuddle with Jungkook and Taehyung, ignoring them when they asked about his school, also talking back a lot. And today Jimin did curse at Taehyung which is a very rare occasion because Jimin is a very sweet, obedient, and shy kid before his sudden turn.
Taehyung’s been stressed out and worried if his Jimin befriending some punks in his school, he doesn’t want to lose his baby’s purity and innocence. Meanwhile Jungkook chooses to step back and watch how far Jimin’s rebellion will go, because well Jimin is a teenager and that’s when the puberty hits the most.
Usually Jimin was a clingy type but lately he’s been refusing Jungkook’s or Taehyung’s cuddles and kisses. It’s like Jimin trying to make gap between them and Taehyung also Jungkook seem to disapprove the idea of Jimin keeping certain distance between them.
Jimin is about to have his sixteenth birthday party in a few days. Taehyung and Jungkook have been preparing his surprise party with their hyungs, they’re even planning to take a day off from work for Jimin’s special party. But now the party doesn’t seem like a good idea anymore because Jimin isn’t excited even a bit about his birthday. Usually he would be giddy and jumpy about his coming age but now all Jimin wants to have is them leaving him alone.
Jimin crawls under his blanket with heavy heart. He doesn’t know that it would be this hard to act indifferent and keeping distance with his dearest Tae and Kookie, but his hormones do nothing good whenever he’s near those two humans, his lovely humans. He has learned a bit from school about hybrid and all the inconvenient things when hybrid reach puberty age. But still he didn’t know it would be this hard. All his friend told him that if he ever feel weird around his two hyungs his should just shout curses like bitch, so Jimin did but he doesn’t feel content or happy with the result.
“Tae hyung just let him be for now on,”
Taehyung lowers his shoulders in defeat. They are in front of Jimin’s room and Taehyung was about to knock or more like to barge into the room. Something is not right with Jimin but he knows that if he pushes it any further then it would end up really bad.
“He called me bitch, Kook. He didn’t even know that word even existed before! I am calling the principal!”
“No.. no hyung listen. He needs space and we give him that space. If it’s getting worse then we do something, okay?”
Taehyung huffs a heavy sigh. “Okay. But if in a week he is still this naughty and keep avoiding us, I’m forcing him to cuddle and grounded him from meeting his naughty friends,”
“Taemin and Kai aren’t naughty, hyung. And you know it,”
“Still! They have changed my Jimin! Naughty boys!”
“Come on, hyung. Jimin wouldn’t be happy if he heard you screaming his friends are naughty in front of his room,”
Lately Jimin’s been spending his time hanging out with Taemin and Kai to avoid more time spent with Tae and Kookie. He doesn’t feel good to ignore them but it’s still better than getting his ass send back to his hybrid center.
A month ago...
“Are you sure about it Taemin? Did they really send their hybrids back when they found out their hybrids had any feelings for them?”
“Yes! You know that our old library has the best trustworthy books! Of course all those books are telling the truth!”
Jimin only nibbles on his lower lips in silent feeling the lump in his throat. This conversation making him sad and afraid at the same time. ‘Tae and Kookie are gonna throw me back to hybrid center if they knew my weird attraction for them’ His frown getting deeper by his own thought.
“I’m home,” Jimin mumbles sadly. He feels exhausted from all the act he’s been pulling all these days.
Jimin is ready to enter his room with sour feeling when Taehyung catches him by his shoulders from behind, pulling Jimin’s back presses into his chest. Taehyung kissing Jimin’s crown tenderly and whispering “I miss you my baby” repeatedly. Jimin’s so taken aback the sudden intrusion. He doesn’t know how to react so he only stays still with dazed on his face. His heart is thrumming like crazy, his body giving the most reaction with the sudden heat from inside him, it feels like he’s burned by the touch from the older man.
Neither of them speak anything at that moment. Not until Taehyung tightening his hold around the hybrid that Jimin stutters out “Hyu..hyung… Jimin…” But his halted by Taehyung turning him around in swift move, making Jimin facing the older man but because their height differences Jimin is in eye level with Taehyung’s chest.
Taehyung lifts up Jimin’s head by the chin making his adorable hybrid looking right into his deep brown eyes. “Baby it’s okay,”
Jimin’s wall of self restriction to show any affection to his humans crumbles down immediately. He hugs Taehyung back tightly and buries his head in the older’s chest, he lets out a strangled cry. “Miss hyung...so so much,”
Taehyung reciprocates the gesture with the same amount of fondness. He wraps his arms around Jimin securely and tenderly. “Miss you too my little kitten,” He kiss the top of Jimin’s head inhaling the scent he’s been craving all these times Jimin distancing himself from them.
Later that night Jungkook finds Taehyung and Jimin cuddling on their loveseat with television on but no one paying attention to the poor channel they have put on.
Jungkook smiles at the view knowing Jimin has ended whatever his weird phase that had made him keeping certain distance from Jungkook and Taehyung. Even Jungkook has never voiced it out but he indeed misses his hybrid around him as the usual. He’s also almost lost his mind when Jimin making himself unreachable for him to hug and to kiss. He misses Jimin so much, more than he would admit in front of Taehyung or Jimin.
“Hey Kookie! You’re home!” Taehyung yells out from his position. He greets Jungkook delightfully but doesn’t show any intention to move a single bones, arms still hugging Jimin tightly and legs wrapping around Jimin covering the smaller’s body almost entirely.
Jimin directs his eyes to the new coming Jungkook and after couple seconds in hesitation Jimin decides to unwrap Taehyung from his body. Taehyung’s eyeing him questioningly trying to convey the situation but Jimin hides his blushing cheeks by running to Jungkook. He puts his redden cheeks on Jungkook’s chest and whispers a little “I miss you,”
Jungkook and Taehyung laugh at the scene. Their lovely hybrid, Jimin really is something. They always knew whatever will happen in the future Jimin will always be Jimin. Cute, innocent, honest, adorable, pure,and so so so shy. They understand Jimin is too shy to say he is sorry but nevertheless his hugging and whispering ‘i miss you’ are more than enough for them to catch the meaning behind it.
“I miss you too baby,” Jungkook says and kisses Jimin’s temple delicately.
Jimin mumbles something that Jungkook can’t catch.
“What is it baby?” Jungkook asks curiously, hands busy petting the hybrid’s fluffy hair affectionately.
“Not mad…” Jimin whispers quietly. “Kookie not mad?”
Jungkook can feel the warmth spread inside him at the innocent question. His hybrid is never a naughty one even he was acting as one but looking at how he acts now there’s no way he doesn’t feel guilty upon it.
He lifts Jimin’s head to place little kisses all over his face. There’s no amount of kisses can conquer his adoration for his little hybrid. “Never! And would never mad at you my little one,” He pecks at Jimin’s little nose as the very last kisses.
Jimin’s cheeks are so cute. Chubby and easily reddened. Like now Jungkook is enjoying the view. The applecheeks have turned into a really red one. Jungkook wants to eat it so badly. But he has to stopped the thought. That unnecessary and dangerous thought for his innocent Jimin.
Taehyung clears his throat to make them notice his presence. “You two can’t just pretend like i’m not here right? I’m alive for some reasons!” He whines childishly. “ Come here Jiminnie! Hug me for forgiveness!”
They spend the night watching Jimin’s favorite anime. The youngest one snuggles in between his favorite humans. He’s never felt this happy these few weeks and now he gets to cuddle with them. Taehyung has his hands wrap around Jimin’s slim waist. And Jungkook keeps petting his hair softly. Tonight absolutely is his best night. He can’t even stop smiling through the movie.
But not until Jimin’s phone beeping loudly in the middle their movie time. The three of them have no attempt to answer the phone but it wont stop ringing loudly making Jimin has to move from his best position to look up who’s that his peaceful breaker.
“Is it Kai?” Taehyung peeks from his side. He can’t hide in the annoyance from his voice. He really doesn’t favor that kid for this moment. He ruins the mood they have with their precious Jimin.
But Jimin’s looking up at him with puppy eyes and a little scared by Taehyung’s annoyed expression. “Can i hyung?”
Of course whatever Jimin’s doing is going to do something to Taehyung’s heart. He can’t stand acting mad or cold to him, his only exception. “Of course honey you can. Hurry pick it up,” He pinches Jimin chubby cheeks playfully while flashing his usual boxy smile.
“Hello Kai. What is-”
“Jimin! This is important and you have to listen to me carefully. I just read this really old book and look what i’ve found! This is horrible Jimin, 10 years ago a hybrid had disowned and kicked out by his owners when they’ve found out that their hybrid was attracted to them. I mean i don’t say this to scare you but be careful okay? They can’t find out Jimin...Jimin? Are you still there?”
Jimin’s face has turned paled and tears threaten to fall.
Both of his humans are looking at him worriedly. Jungkook decides to snatch the phone from him and scold that kid “Hey Kai i know you are not a bad kid but whatever you’ve told Jimin it’s making him sad and i’m going to hunt you down if you ever hurt Jimin!” He hangs up quickly because Jimin is already bawling his eyes out with loud cries with Taehyung trying his hardest to calm the boy down.
“Jimin listen to me,” Jungkook tries to cup his cheeks to make Jimin look into his eyes but the hybrid closing his eyes still hiccuping from how hard he’s cried.
“Kick...me..out,” He says through his sobs.
Taehyung and Jungkook are throwing confused glance to each other. Still can’t grasp the whole situation. Because for a minute Jimin is totally fine and happy and full of crescent smile but seconds after he has cried harder than the first time he had stepped on their house.
“Baby, is that bad kid hurting you? Is he bullying you through phone call too? I thought he is a good friend of you. I will-,”
“Don’t kick Jimin out”
“Wha- What?”
“Jimin don’t want to leave home,”
“Baby please tell me what is it about? Because i can’t wrap my head around all this. Will you trust us baby,”
“Jimin’s scared…”
“Of Kai?” Taehyung prompts with anger lingers in his voice. Jimin shakes his head. “Of us?” He asks with a little fear that Jimin will nod his head as confirmation. Fortunately Jimin shakes his head vigorously. “Then who is it, sugar?”
After seconds that feel like years for Taehyung and Jungkook, Jimin finally calms himself a little and breathes properly before he whispers hesitantly.
“Jimin like hyungs,”
“Oh baby of course you are! I am so happy! But where’s the problem?”
“Jimin like hyungs a lot,”
“I know. Hyungs know Jimin is a sweet kid,” This time Jungkook is the one who answers it with endearment on his face. He pets Jimin soft hair with so much adoration.
“No! Kookie doesn’t understand! Taetae too! Jimin loves hyungs! Like a lot! More than i should! You’re going to kick me out because i love you when i shouldn’t… Jimin is just a hybrid. Jimin shouldn’t have loved hyungs like that…”
Jimin’s waiting for the harsh words and ready to get his ass kicked out from their home. He knows Taetae and Kookie are too nice to him but there’s still a boundary between human and hybrid that Jimin has crossed by falling in love with his two humans. Jimin waits and waits but he only receives silent.
After a while he braves himself to raise his head to look at his humans. He’s so afraid to see them getting mad at him but there’s nothing close to anger on them but instead they have that crazy smile on their face.
“Baby!” Taehyung is the one who breaks the silent. He throws himself on the smaller boys making both of them fell on the fluffy couch. He’s about to shower Jimin with kisses but Jungkook easily pulls him off Jimin.
“Hold up right there, hyung! We still need to talk. Hold your fucking hormones down you pervert old man,” Jungkook pushes Taehyung to the floor then picks the confused Jimin before placing him on his lap.
Taehyung’s pouting hard for the unfairness. “Not fair! You take him for yourself! You selfish motherfucker!”
“Language hyung!”
“Hyungs won’t kick me?”
Jungkook is so amused by the confusion which written on the younger’s face. He can’t help but kissing the top of Jimin’s button nose. He is too cute to be true.
“Never baby. I will never kick you out or hurt you. You are too precious for me. Also for Taehyung hyung. We can’t live without you baby” Jimin’s face lightens up a bit upon hearing Jungkook’s sweet words.
Jungkook is about to continue his sentence but Taehyung snatches Jimin away from him before smooching wet kisses all over Jimin’s face like he usually does but this time more vigorously and more passion. Jimin can help but giggles at the tickles feeling from Taehyung’s kisses. “You should rather be afraid of getting attack by us instead,”
“Attack?” Jimin asks with little furrow on his eyebrows.
Taehyung nods with cheeky grin.
“Because we love you so so so much that sometimes it’s almost too hard to hold ourselves down. But now you already declared your love to us so we won’t back down anymore” He ends his sentence by biting Jimin’s soft cheek which making the smaller boy screams at the sudden attack.
“Hey don’t start without me!” Jungkook yells from the side and starts biting Jimin’s other cheek.
Jimin is screaming and laughing through the playful bites and kisses they give to him. He is so happy that he’s going to cry not because the pain from the small bites they give him but more because he feels so full and loved at the moment that he thinks he’s going to burst out because of the fullness inside his heart.
It has never ran through his head that Jungkook and Taehyung would love him the same as he loves them. And from the way they acted toward him, even Jimin always tends to be a pessimist about things and insecure of himself he can’t help but believe them fully. Their love is too real to be faked. Jimin can’t even doubt a little even he wants to.
“Kookie, Taetae, thank you for loving Jimin,” he whispers shyly. Almost inaudible but Taehyung and Jungkook have always attentive to their shy hybrid words.
They can’t stop their lips from stretching widely after hearing those words. Jimin is always the sweetest with his words. He is always the shy and short with word type but never failed to melt his two humans heart whenever he opens his mouth. His words always sound so genuine and pure that Jungkook and Taehyung has always casted under his spells.
“Nooo Kookie you can’t hold me back anymore now! He’s too cute for his own good,” Taehyung screams while preparing himself to peppering kisses all over Jimin’s face and body.
Jungkook is not the one who can lose a competition so he also about to join the kiss peppering war with Taehyung. “You are not the only one hyung,”
Now Jimin is cornered by his two humans that he innocently doesn’t know what’s going to happen but from the look of Kookie and Taetae it must be something exciting right?
