Chapter Text
Jimin had been distant recently the others all noticing, especially Yoongi. Recently in one of their V-lives, lots of people had compared Jimin to a pig. The younger laughed it off, Jungkook lightly joking about it to him as well. Yoongi was the only one to seem to actually care about the words, he had brought it up to Jimin before asking how he was. The younger simply smiling as if nothing were wrong, yet that smile hid the feelings that the words were causing him.
It’s funny how something so simple as words could affect people worst then if they were physically hurt?
It was another packed morning of rehearsals for BTS, all of them sitting at the table while Seokjin cooked.
“Morning Piggy Piggy.” Jungkook says jokingly, as he slides next to Taehyung. Jimin merely looked down at the Maknae’s words, the action only seeming to annoy Yoongi.
“Stop it Jungkook.” Yoongi warns, the younger shrugging.
“I’m only joking, geez, it’s not like Jimin Hyung cares.”
“Words are harmful Jungkook.” The elder warns, Jungkook ignoring him as they all sit down to eat breakfast.
Everyone digging into the meal, Seokjin’s cooking always brough them joy. Yoongi looked to Jimin to see the younger barely touching his food.
“Do you not like it?” Seokjin asks, slightly hurt if the other didn’t like the meal he made.
“No, it’s really good hyung! I’m just not that hungry.” He says, trying to reassure the elder.
“Probably cause piggy had a little snack already.” Jungkook teases, Yoongi slapping the back of his head. “What was that for?!” Jungkook exclaims, rubbing the back of his head.
Before Yoongi could reply, Seokjin spoke, “Jimin, did you actually already eat something? You know we are on diets right now, none of us can afford to snack.”
“I—” Jimin says, Namjoon looking down at his phone.
“We’ve got to go, our interview for today got moved up to this morning.” Namjoon says, everyone scrambling to the van.
“Jiminine, are you alright?” Yoongi asks, Jimin smiling at him.
“I’m fine hyung.” He says, Yoongi not believing him.
The interview went like many of the others, same questions, same responses, everything was going fine until the interviewer brought up Jimin’s weight.
“Now Jimin, we’ve noticed that quite a few fans have been comparing you to a pig recently. Personally, I can see the resemblance.” He jocks, Yoongi bubbling with rage.
“Excuse me?” Yoongi says, the interviewer looking at him confused.
“Yes?”
“Did you just say that Jimin resembled a pig?”
“Hyung stop it.” Jimin whispers to him, Yoongi glaring at the interviewer stopping at Jimin’s request.
“R-r-right, next question…” He says as he moves on.
The rest of the interview went on without confrontation, besides the snappy replies Yoongi was giving him. The elder was beyond furious at the interviewer, even more so that at how the others didn’t see the severity of it.
They were back at home, all relaxing in the living room. Jungkook and Taehyung were huddled on a sofa together, while Hoseok, Seokjin and Namjoon sat on a chair across from them. Yoongi was sitting next to Jimin who was quietly on his phone.
“Maybe you should stick to your diet hyung, I mean even the interviewer thought you looked like a pig!” Jungkook says, gaining the attention of everyone.
“Jungkook stop, that’s too far.” Taehyung says, Jungkook protesting.
“Come on hyung, it’s not like Jimin Hyung minds—” Jungkook says, stopping mid-sentence as he sees tears leaving the elder’s eyes.
“Jimin?” Yoongi says calls softly, as the younger runs out of the dorm.
Jimin didn’t know where he was going, only that he wanted to get away. He turned his phone off to avoid the worried calls his fellow members were giving him. It wasn’t till the afternoon rays of sun began to set did he head back to the door.
“Everyone thinks you are a pig, huh?” An old croaky voice says, Jimin turning his head to see an elderly woman in a black coat.
“Who are you?” He asks, feeling fear from the mysterious woman.
“It doesn’t matter who I am, this is about you Park Jimin. You are a very handsome young man, yet people keep calling you piggy. I wonder what everyone would think if you did resemble a pig, if you had a whittle piggy tail and snout.” She muses, Jimin’s heart racing with fear.
Ignoring her words, he quickly hurries back home. The woman smirking as her eyes briefly glow purple, muttering something under her breath as a purple light shoots into Jimin, the idol not noticing. By the time Jimin arrived home, the rest of Bangtan were frantic with worry.
“Thank god!” Seokjin says with relief as he hugs Jimin, the younger awkwardly hugging back.
“Where have you been Jimin, we’ve been so worried.” Namjoon says, Jimin about to opening his mouth when Yoongi steps forward.
“I’m so sorry for failing you Jimin, I should have followed you.” Yoongi says apologising.
“What—hyung, it’s not your fault. I was being oversensitive, I’m just really tired…I’m going to go to bed.” Jimin says, walking into his room, Seokjin about to protest when Hoseok stopped him.
“Leave him, he needs some space.”
Seokjin glumly nodding as they watch Jimin walk to his room, Yoongi knuckles turning white as he clenches his hands in rage. “Where the hell is Jungkook?” He practically growls.
“He’s in his room” Namjoon says, seeing how pissed the elder was. “Yoongi it isn’t his fault.”
“Like hell it isn’t.” He says as he storms off to Jungkook’s room.
The younger was curled up on his bed, reading all the pig comments that people were saying about Jimin.
“You’ve got some apologising to do Jeon Jungkook, why the hell would you keep up with those ‘piggy’ comments around Jimin?!” Yoongi demands, Jungkook feeling tears in his eyes.
“I didn’t know he was that upset about it, I was just joking.”
“Well, all that ‘just joking’ has made Jimin’s life a whole lot harder, did you honestly think that he wouldn’t be upset? Between you and the others, it’s like you are all blind to how Jimin really feels.” Yoongi says, leaving Jungkook alone to his regret.
Throughout the night, a tense pain spread throughout Jimin’s body. A soft moan leaving his lips as his nose felt like it was getting repeatedly punched. His ears ached as if they were being pulled up, his lower back aching with the feeling of a force at the base of his spin. Eventually the pain was too much, that it caused him to jolt awake.
Panting slightly, he realised how different it felt to breath through his nose. He was able to get air in through his nose, but the feeling of breathing felt wrong. The colds night air blowing through his open window, causing him to notice the wetness on his cheek.
“Drool? I never drool.” He whispers to himself, quickly wiping it away. It’s when his hand runs across his cheek does he feel it.
Right where his nose should be was something circular. Touching it, he could feel it scrunch up slightly. It was soft with two little holes in it. Pocking at one, he realises that the holes were his nostrils, and that the circular thing was actually his nose.
“W-w-what’s going on.” He whispers in fear, running a hand through his hair to feel something soft and floppy on his head, raising both of his hands he feels that there is two of them in his hair.
Not wasting anymore time, he quickly raises to the bathroom, all the other members of Bangtan fast asleep. Nothing could prepare him for what he saw in the mirror, instead of his small nose a light pink pig snout was on his face. Two small floppy pigs’ ear were perched on top of his head, standing out in his dyed blonde hair.
“T-this isn’t real…” He whispers in disbelief, his hand shaking as he lightly touches the nose. A small snort leaving his body with the action, Jimin’s breathing began to hitch as he started hyper-ventilated.
Instead of the normal panic noises a human would make, scared pig squeal left his mouth. They only seemed to get louder the more frantic he got, his eyes wide as he catches sight of something behind him. A small pink curled tail was peaking out of the waist of his sweatpants.
Tears spilled from his eyes as the pig squeals continued to leave his lips, a loud knock at the door making him let out a startled squeak.
“Who the fuck is making squealing noise at 3 o’clock in the morning?!” Yoongi’s cranky voice fills the silence, Jimin’s body shaking.
“H-h-hyung.” He says in between squeals.
“Jimin? What’s wrong, are you ok?” Yoongi’s voice instantly softening as he realises who it is, his hand tight on the doorknob.
“N-no! Don’t come in here!” Jimin frantically says, Yoongi become increasingly more worried.
“Jimin, if you don’t open the door, I will kick it open.” Yoongi warns, a sleepy Taehyung walking into the hallway.
Jimin couldn’t reply as he drops to the ground, tears and soft squeals leaving his body as he shakes. All of BTS gathered around the bathroom door as Jimin’s cries continued as well as the worried words from Yoongi.
“Why is he making pig noises?” Seokjin whispers softly, Yoongi’s eyes never leaving the door.
“Jimin, please open the door.”
“C-c-can’t, y-you’ll be scared.” He says in between cries.
The words piercing Yoongi’s heart as he softly says, “You know I would never judge you Jimin. If you don’t want the others to see you right away, I’ll come in there ok? No one else will see you but me.” He says the door handle rattling as the door opens slightly.
Quickly, Yoongi enters, the door slamming behind him. His eyes widened when he sees the younger. His eyes were red and puffy, soft pink pig ears were flattened to his died blonde hair. His eyes were glued to the snot that was scrunching up while Jimin cried. “Jimin, what happened?” He asks in shock.
Jimin breaking down once again, the squeals louder than before as Yoongi pulls him into a tight hug. The elder’s eyes widening again as he sees the little tail Jimin has. Whispering words of comfort, Jimin eventually calmed down. Yoongi’s white shirt wet from Jimin’s tears, the younger looking into Yoongi’s eyes. The elder’s chest tightening as he saw the despair radiating off the younger.
“How did this happen?” He asks, Jimin sniffling, the pig nose scrunching slightly as he does.
“I d-don’t know, I just woke up like this.”
“We’ll figure this out okay?” Yoongi says, tears spilling from Jimin’s eyes again as he whispers,
“Now I am really a pig”
The rest of Bangtan weren’t as calm when they saw Jimin’s new features, Seokjin fainting at the sight.
“Shit, hyung!” Namjoon says worriedly at Seokjin’s unmoving body.
“Hyung is a pig.” Jungkook says dumbly, Jimin looking down to the ground in shame.
Once Seokjin was conscious again, they all tried to brainstorm how it happened and how to fix it. They were getting nowhere, and Jimin was at his breaking point. The other members were doing their best to not stare at Jimin, Jungkook not able to stop staring at the elder.
“Um hyung…can I talk to you?” Jungkook asks hesitantly, Jimin nodding slightly as they leave the kitchen.
“I want to apologies hyung.” Jungkook says softly, “I shouldn’t have kept joking around like that, I thought you saw it as a joke, but I was really being insensitive. I c-can’t help but think that this is my fault, if I had just stopped saying piggy, then maybe this wouldn’t have happened.” Jungkook says, his voice breaking as he cries.
“It’s n-not your fault Jungkook, you didn’t know.”
“I should’ve hyung, I should’ve.” He whispers, Namjoon calling them back in.
Jimin silently sat next to Yoongi, the elder squeezing his hand in reassurance. As Namjoon entered leader mood.
“Well…we have absolutely no idea what to do.” He says
“That’s helpful.” Yoongi replies, Namjoon nervously looking at Jimin.
“Are you sure there isn’t anything else that happened Jimin? I mean it’s not everyday you change species.” Hoseok says, Yoongi glaring at him.
“No…..well there was this woman.”
“What woman?” Yoongi inquires, as the younger fiddles with his fingers.
“She said some stuff about how I was handsome, but everyone thought I looked like a pig, she said she wondered what it would be like if I did resemble a pig…”
“So, obviously this woman cursed you.” Taehyung says, the word ‘curse’ causing all of them to feel fear.
“How are we supposed to find her?” Hoseok asks, Yoongi thinking.
“If Jimin saw her in the afternoon, our best beat is to go there at the same time. We have hours till then, the best thing we can do it wait.” Namjoon says, all of them agreeing.
Jimin was learning over the hours at the dorm, that having a pig snout made a lot of things more difficult, especially eating. All of Bangtan were eating sandwiches for lunch, and Jimin had no idea how he was supposed to go about it. Sure, he could bite into it, but his snout would be pressed against the bread.
“Jimin?” Yoongi says gently, Jimin looking up to him sadly.
“I don’t know how to eat it without it being messy…” He whispers, Yoongi nodding as he stands, grabbing his half-eaten sandwich and Jimin’s full one.
“We’re eating in Jimin’s room.” He announces to the others, walking away, Jimin rushing after him.
Once Jimin was in, Yoongi shuts the door, handing him his plate.
“There, you don’t have to be embarrassed now.” Yoongi says with a gummy smile, Jimin looking at the sandwich unsure. The elder encouraging him, Jimin sighing as he bites into the sandwich.
Even with pig features, Jimin was still the most beautiful person Yoongi had ever seen. His crush on the younger had grown so much over the years, now it was almost bursting out of his chest.
Once Jimin had finished, Yoongi couldn’t help the small smile on his face as he saw the crumbs on his nose.
“Here.” He softly says as his fingers dust off the crumbs, Jimin blushing.
It was finally the afternoon, Jimin wearing a face mask as well as a hat in an attempt to hid his new features. Jimin retraced his steps with the rest of the BTS members, surprisingly the woman was in the same spot as she was yesterday.
“Ah, Park Jimin! Did you have an interesting day with your piggy features?” She asks, Yoongi standing protectively in front of Jimin.
“Turn him back.” He demands, the woman smiling at him.
“Why? Do you not accept him like this?”
“Of course I accept him like this, he doesn’t want this.” He replies, the Woman’s smiling growing.
“I like you young man, come here and I’ll whispers how you can help transform Jimin back.” Nervously, Yoongi walked up to her, his eyes widening as she whispers the cure.
“Hyung?” Jimin whispers scared, Yoongi taking a deep breath as he walks over to Jimin.
Before Jimin can react, Yoongi is pressing his lips onto his own. His small snout pushed against the bridge of the elder’s nose. It was a short but sweet kiss, a light tingling sensation brushed over Jimin’s while their lips were locked. As the two broke the kiss, Jimin was fully back to his normal self.
“Aww, I love happy endings.” The woman says clapping, the rest of Bangtan looking at her in disbelief.
“Is it really gone?” Jimin asks, his hands touching all over his face.
Yoongi smiling as he nods, Jimin’s eyes turning to crescent moons as he throws himself onto Yoongi. Hugging the elder so tight, the elder laughing as he returns the hug.
“What the fuck?” Jungkook whispers, the woman’s eyes glowing purple as she stares at Jungkook.
“You were part of the reason Jimin felt so sad Jungkook. You apologised, but I always felt actions spoke louder.” She says smirking, Jungkook looking at her confused. “You know, people say that you look like a rabbit. I wonder what it would be like if you had rabbit features, if you had a whittle cotton tail and fluffy ears.”
Jimin’s eyes widened as he realised what would happen to Jungkook, Yoongi smirking slightly. The younger lightly pushing him as he saw the smirk.
“Hyung, it’s not funny! Jungkook is probably going to wake up with rabbit features tomorrow!”
“He does deserve it a little.”
“Hyung~” Jimin whines, Yoongi stopping his words as he presses a kiss to Jimin’s lips again.
“Stop worrying, let’s go home.” He whispers as he intertwines his hand into Jimin’s.
Sure enough, during the middle of the night all of Bangtan woke up to Jungkook’s screams. All of them were sure of what happened to the younger…
