Chapter Text
jungkook’s pov:
gguk is incredibly nervous. he is trying his best to sit still in the car and not fidget with his hands because good boys do not do that. gguk wants to be a good boy. if he is a good boy, maybe the new master will not be too hard on him on the first day.
his caretakers at the shelter reminded him to follow all the rules of his new master so he won’t be given away again and gguk is planning on being on his bestest behavior! tears swell up in his eyes when he thinks about his hyungs and noonas at the shelter. they were so kind to him, took him in when his old master decided that gguk was not well behaved enough for him. he even made some friends at the shelter. gyeommie and bambam who were loud and boisterous and got into trouble more often than not which gguk has always been afraid of but he’ll miss them nonetheless.
wiping the tears away with the back of his hand, gguk turns back to the front. the driver is pulling into a long driveway.
“we’ll be there soon, jungkook” comes the voice of yongsun-noona from the passenger seat.
it is really gonna happen. gguk is gonna meet his new master in a few minutes.
he was so excited when yongsun told him that someone was interested in adopting him. normally people look for cat hybrids or dogs, because they are more domestic, not a bunny. and normally people do not want to adopt a ”used” pet. bambam said, only a mad man would adopt from a shelter where all hybrids have been adopted before but were found unfit by the owner and given away.
which is exactly why gguk is so nervous now. he takes one of his long fluffy ears into his hands and leads it to his mouth before he remembers himself and lets it fall again. he is a big boy now and big boys do not stick anything into their mouth unless they are asked to. that is what his old master told him. and gguk definitely does not want his new master to think he is a baby. no no.
to occupy his hands, he takes his water bottle out of his small backpack that holds all of his belongings and drinks it all in one go. then he puts the bottle back and tries to fix his bangs, since he wants to make a good first impression.
after just a few moments, the car comes to a halt and yongsun-noona steps out of the car and opens gguk’s door. the bunny takes his bag and struggles to get out of the big suv.
once he is out (with a helping hand from yongsun-noona) the both of them step forward towards the front door of the big mansion gguk just now realizes they are standing in front of.
the house is beautiful with huge windows and so big, it looks like it could be the home of at least thirty people. gguk wonders who his new master is to live in such a gorgeous building. he has not met the man before, has never even seen pictures of him, but yongsun-noona told him that he is a very nice man. gguk really wants to believe her but he knows that his old master could also be nice if he wanted to be. and behind closed doors, in the safety of his own home-
no, gguk does not want to think of his old master now, he’s here to meet his new master and start anew.
he gets ahold of himself just as yongsun-noona turns around to him.
“jungkook” she says “i know you’re nervous but you don’t have to be. just listen to mister min and do what you learned. you’re such a good boy i’m sure you’ll be a great companion for mister min.”
with that she turned back around and rang the doorbell. gguk shifted behind his noona. he could feel his heart in his throat and his hands got all clammy. he took his floppy ear into his hands to calm himself down.
the door opens and a serious looking man stands in front of them
“good morning mister min” yongsun-noona starts to greet the man and they exchange pleasantries. gguk immediately lets his ear go and falls into a deep bow. he does not dare to look up or move out of this position until his master addresses him.
“and you must be jungkook then”
“ah... yes, master” he mumbles, still bowing.
“would you please look at me when i’m talking to you, jungkook” master says but he is not unfriendly. which is a good thing, gguk thinks.
“yes, master. ggukkie- no, i am very sorry, master” gguk replies while straightening himself up.
“i’m min yoongi. it’s so nice to finally meet you. i’ve been waiting so long, but it was worth it. you look even more adorable than on those photos on the website” master smiles at him and gguk forgets how to breathe. master looks … cute? his gums are on full display and his eyes scrunch up a little.
“i-“ gguk tries to form a response but his mouth will not cooperate. “thank you, master” he falls back into his bow. “i will do my best to be of good use for you. please take care of me” that was the sentence the caretakers at the shelter trained him to say. he has practiced it often and gguk is pleased that he did not even stutter while saying it.
“i think my duty is done here then” yongsun-noona declares, bowing shortly to gguk’s master one last time. “please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any problems or questions, mister min. but i’m sure, jungkook here will be a good boy for you, right gguk?”
“yes, noona. i promise i will be good” gguk blushes.
after a quick goodbye, yongsun-noona goes back to the car and she and the driver are gone. gguk’s alone with his master now. they are still standing in the doorway, gguk with his backpack by his feet and in his worn clothes and floppy ears and his master in an immaculate suit and shiny, blonde hair. gguk feels inadequate but he cannot do anything about it at this moment, he already chose his best clothes and made sure to comb his hair neatly this morning. he has never been able to control his unruly curls for more than a few minutes though.
gguk feels his master’s eyes on him, although he is staring at his feet to avoid any eye contact. he does not want to seem impolite but his master’s stare is making him anxious. he starts to shift on his feet.
that is when his master speaks up again.
“let’s get in, jungkook. it’s kind of cold today and i don’t want to stand outside the whole day. i’m gonna show you around the house if you want”
“whatever pleases you, master” gguk bows quickly before taking his backpack into his hands and following his master inside.
the entrance hall is beautiful. the high ceiling is decorated with stucco and a pompous chandelier is hanging from it. there is a great stairway leading to the next floor and big open doors on both sides of the room. before gguk can even start to appreciate the artwork on one of the walls, his master has already gone through the door on the right and gguk is rushing to follow him.
“this is the sitting room. you can leave your bag here and it will be brought up to your room for you” master points one of the sofas in the room.
gguk does not want to disagree but that does not sit right with him. “uhm… master?”
master has already walked a little further but he turns back towards the hybrid. “yes, jungkook?”
“master, gguk can just carry the bag. gguk does not want to be an inconvenience. the bag is not very heavy and also it’s a little dirty. gguk does not want to dirty master’s furniture.” his voice gets more and more quiet the longer he speaks until he’s barely whispering.
master looks at him with a frown on his face and gguk tenses. he has managed to upset his new master after not even 10 minutes of being in his house. he is quick to take back what he said before master gets really angry.
“i’m sorry, master. i will listen. gguk’s really sorry, he can be a good boy!” he quickly sets down his backpack. next to the sofa. gguk is a pet and his stuff does not belong on master’s furniture. he knows that. maybe his master wanted to test him. see how well he is trained. that must be it. there is no way master really wanted him to put his tattered old bag on the nice cream-colored couch.
“it’s okay, jungkook.” gguk dares to look up at his master with teary eyes for a second. his master does not look angry. gguk is relieved but still looks back down to his feet. “i just thought it’d be easier to move around without your backpack, but if you’re more comfortable with it, you can keep it on your back.”
gguk is confused. does master want him to take the bag with him now or leave it here? he looks back up to see master looking at his face with a small smile on his lips. “are you okay with leaving it here for the moment?” he asks.
“y-yes, master. if that pleases master” gguk mumbles.
master frowns a little again but lets it go. he turns back around to leave the room through another door. gguk hurries after him, still a little confused by his master’s behavior.
***
“and this is the kitchen. you can just take anything if you’re hungry but i want you to attend dinner with me every night so keep that in mind, yeah?” master looks at him expectantly.
“yes, master” gguk looks around the kitchen. it is just as grand as the rest of the house and he is a little overwhelmed. he hopes that he will not get lost in the long halls with dozens of doors.
“are you hungry right now? i can make you a sandwich or something”
“n-no, master. gguk a-already ate b-break-k…” he takes a deep breath to collect his thoughts. “i have already eaten at the shelter, master. and gguk can cook! master should not make food for him” never had gguk heard of a master offering to make food for their pet.
“well, if you decide that you want some, you can just ask me or make it yourself then, jungkook” master sends him a small smile. gguk does not think he will ever grow used to that. “do you want me to show you your room now? you must be exhausted after all this. you can lay down for a bit and relax”
“if master doesn’t need me right now?” gguk replies.
“no that’s alright. i need to write some emails anyways” master says while leading gguk back to the sitting room. he tries to reach for the backpack but gguk rushes to take it before him. master should not have to carry his dirty bag. he is embarrassed that master was even so close to holding it. he should do better.
master frowns at him, he is probably disappointed, too. he does not say anything though and gguk is relieved. he does not want to be punished on his first day here.
his master leads him upstairs to a room almost at the end of the hallway. he opens the door and reveals a big, bright room, furnished with a queen size bed and a few shelves with books on them. there even is a desk in the corner. the walls are a bit bare but it has the prettiest view of the garden at the back of the house. gguk is in awe.
he looks back at his master. “does gguk… is master really giving this room to me? am i sharing it? it is far too much for gguk, master”
master is smiling again. “yes, jungkook, this really is your room. no, you’re not sharing with anybody. my room is just across the hall so i’m nearby if you need anything and i’m the only other person living here. we can definitely decorate the room a little with things that you like later on, if you want”
“thank you so much, master. the room is beautiful!” gguk bows deeply.
master laughs a little “no problem, jungkook. i’ll be leaving you alone now, so you can unpack and lay down a little. i’ll be in my office if you need anything. that’s downstairs, remember?”
gguk remembers the room. it is filled nothing but a big wooden desk and a few chairs. he does not remember how to get there though. he decides not to say anything, he does not plan on disturbing his master anyway while he is working. so he nods.
“i will leave you alone now, jungkook” and with that master has left the room.
gguk turns around in the room. wow. this is better than anything he had hoped for! he decides to start unpacking his stuff just like his master suggested. the few clothes he has go into the closet and his plushie lands on the huge bed. it looks so soft that gguk cannot help but jump onto it. he bounces a little on the soft mattress before he sinks into the sheets. he feels exhaustion taking over his small body and so he falls into a deep sleep without wanting to.
***
gguk wakes up to a wet feeling around his lower body which is an uncomfortable feeling. he does not realize what that wetness means until a few moments later. instantly, he starts to tear up. that cannot be real. he has not been with his new master for a whole day and he has already wet his bed. why was he so stupid to chug down the whole bottle of water earlier in the car?
“you stupid, stupid bunny” gguk chides himself with tears streaming down his face. he goes out into the hallway and tries to locate the next bathroom to get a cloth to wipe down his bed with. he knows he will have to tell master of his accident to get new bed sheets and he dreads that confrontation. he really wanted to be a good boy so bad but his stupid bladder will be the reason for his first punishment under his new master. no matter how kind he seemed, he will not tolerate his pet wetting his bed, gguk is sure of it.
as it turns out, gguk won’t even have to search for his master because as soon as he is on the way back to his room with a wet towel in this hand, he can see his master standing in front of his door. gguk knows that his master is looking at the wet bed sheets now and he’s sure his master will be able to smell what gguk did.
he lets the towel drop to ground before falling to his knees himself, now sobbing loudly.
“jungkook?” his master asks.
“g-gguk is s-so sorr-ry, ma-aster” weeps gguk.
“hey, no, stop crying, jungkook” master is coming towards gguk. “what happened? are you alright?”
“gguk ha-has wet the b-bed. h-he i-is so s-sorry, master. g-gguk is n-nothing but a-a d-dumb bunny.” gguk has a hard time talking because he is crying so hard.
“okay, jungkook, that’s okay. you’re okay, baby. let’s get you out of those yucky clothes first, yeah?” master tries to console gguk.
gguk realizes that he is still wearing his wet pants and now feels that even his bunny tail is all cold and wet and starts to cry even harder. he is feeling yucky all over.
master lifts gguk into his arms and carries him over into the master bedroom.
yoongi’s pov:
the bunny hybrid in his arms is light. way too light. and with the way yoongi is holding the younger, he can feel more bones sticking out than he would like there to be. he will have to make sure the hybrid eats well to gain a little weight soon.
he sighs. the smaller boy in his arms seems inconsolable and yoongi is sorry for not being able to calm him down at the moment. the second yoongi tried to lift jungkook, the younger got all tense before continuing to sob his heart out.
for now, he has got to make sure that jungkook gets out of his soiled clothes. he takes the boy into his en suite bathroom where he sits the bunny boy onto the heated floor before starting a hot bath. then, he turns back to jungkook and helps him out of his clothes, while the younger is still sniffling but he makes no moves to stop yoongi.
when all the clothes are off, he helps jungkook into the bath. he tells the boy to wait a second and rushes towards his closet to retrieve underwear, one of his sweaters and a pair of sweatpants that are a little too small on him. he walks back into the bathroom and sees that jungkook has not moved one bit. so he starts to wash the younger’s hair while explaining what he’s doing to not startle the hybrid. when jungkook notices what he is about to do, he tries to stop yoongi but yoongi won’t relent and after a while jungkook relaxes while letting his owner massage shampoo into his hair.
yoongi honestly did not expect to be washing his hybrid’s urine off of him on the first day they met but he cannot say that he minds too much. jungkook looks much more peaceful now than he did before when they were touring the house. the hybrid seemed to be very tense and thoughtful of what he said, which yoongi can somewhat understand. jungkook is in a new environment with nobody familiar, but he would still prefer if the hybrid would feel more comfortable in his company.
he also was not angry at jungkook for wetting his bed. it was inconvenient yes, for he has to change the sheets now and throw the soiled ones into the washer, but again, jungkook must be under a lot of stress and he was told by the shelter that jungkook tends to behave a lot younger than he actually is. often even like a small child. so he was expecting this to happen sooner or later. he would still need to talk to the younger about this at some point, but not now, when jungkook just started to calm down again.
after jungkook is washed and dried off (yoongi is especially careful with his ears and tail. he has been told they are extremely sensitive), they put him in yoongi’s clothes. the sweater reaches to the mid of his thighs, but the pants fit pretty okay if yoongi ties the string in the front a little tighter and rolls them up at the ankles.
jungkook has now fully stopped crying but his eyes are still wide and glassy and his mind seems to be somewhere else, so yoongi decides to lay him down in his own bed while he will change the other’s bed sheets. jungkook does not even seem to realize where he is laying but he still snuggles under the blanket.
“just sleep a little more, jungkook, yoongi mumbles. “you seem even more tired than before, huh?”
“can ggukkie have his plushie, please?” jungkook whispers and yoongi sends him a soft smile.
“sure, baby, i will get it for you. just a moment” yoongi rushes over to jungkook’s room again to get the plush bunny that’s still laying on the bed there. he gives it to the hybrid and as soon as jungkook holds it in his hands, he falls asleep.
yoongi looks at the small boy drowning in the sheets of his gigantic bed. he is so adorable. yoongi really hopes that the younger will grow more comfortable with him soon. he sighs once again before standing up and going over to the other room to take care of the sheets. he originally came back upstairs to ask the boy if he wanted to come out with him to buy new clothes. jungkook arrived with just one small backpack and the clothes he wore were looking pretty old, but that shopping trip might have to wait. it is more important now that jungkook gets some rest.
after spending about two hours on his new song, he begins to warm up some leftovers, nothing fancy but still delicious and brings a tray with food and some tea up to where jungkook is still sleeping on his bed.
jungkook’s pov:
gguk wakes up to someone stroking his hair and whispering for him to get up. which is very unusual as gguk is not used to such soft touches. the caretakers at the shelter usually knock on his door really loud to wake him up and gyeommie and bambam pinch him in the sides which makes him jump up immediately. but as he slowly rises out of his deep sleep he remembers that he’s no longer at the shelter. he is at his new master’s house.
and then the memories come crashing back- he has wet the bed and master washed him and gave him clothes and put him to sleep in master’s bed. gguk jumps up, scrambles out of the bed and falls to his knees right in front of his master. he does not understand how master has not punished him yet for dirtying his bed but it must come soon. maybe master prefers to punish in the evening? in any case gguk tries to lessen the blow he will receive no doubt by kneeling at his master’s feet and apologizing over and over again. that helped sometimes with his old master, but only if master was tired. gguk is not sure how master yoongi will react but it is worth the try.
“i am so sorry, master. it will not happen again, i swear”
master looks at him with wide eyes. “no, it is alright, jungkook. it was an accident, right? you did not mean to?”
gguk looks up at his master. “no, of course i did not mean to, i would never want to dirty master’s belongings. gguk promises it won’t happen again”
“okay, jungkook, first of all, the room and everything in it is yours now, not mine. and secondly, if you promise it won’t happen again, then it is okay. but if this is something that will happen regularly, then we will have to look for a solution together, alright?”
“yes, master. of course, master. thank you, master” gguk is still kneeling on the ground, looking down.
“jungkook, do you remember what i told you this morning?”
gguk tries to think of what his master might mean but apparently he takes too long.
“i asked you to look at me when i’m talking to you. you don’t have to be afraid of me, i won’t hurt you”
gguk wants to believe his master, he really does, but he’s still wary of the older man. nevertheless, he looks up at his master because good boys do as they are asked. and gguk can be a good boy.
“are you alright, jungkook? come on, stand up. i brought you something to eat”
“uhm.. master, i’m sorry, but i have a question?” gguk asks with a small voice.
“of course, jungkook.” master sends him a soft smile.
“what… uhmm…” gguk takes a deep breath. “how does master plan on punishing ggukkie? because sometimes he doesn’t take spankies too well and gguk’s tummy starts aching
so maybe master can do that now before gguk eats? it’s not that gguk can’t take his punishment, but just sometimes it hurts too much, especially if master uses a belt or-“
“jungkook, no!” master interrupts him. “i don’t plan on punishing you at all. i thought we determined that you had an accident. and even… a belt? i won’t ever use that on you. i promise, baby! did your old master do that? what a disgusting-“ master breaks off for a second. “you really do not have to worry about that, jungkookie” for some reason master seems really upset all of a sudden. gguk feels bad for bringing this topic up but he thought it would be good to ask beforehand and since master as been so kind before he thought it would be okay to make a request.
ggukkie always had difficulties receiving the spanks that his old master allotted as punishment. especially if they were hard like with a belt. sometimes his old master used a whip on him, the first time was when gguk stumbled while bringing master his coffee and he spilt the hot beverage all over him. that punishment did not only make his bottom hurt like hell but his stomach was so upset that he threw up afterwards and ggukkie really did not want to repeat that experience.
master gets down from the bed to sit beside gguk and strokes his hair out of his face. “jungkook i want you to listen to me closely, okay?”
jungkook nods while staring at master with wide eyes. “i will never ever hurt you purposefully, okay? i want you to be comfortable here. comfortable with me. yes, there are a few rules here but i won’t ever hit you for not following them, you hear me? i did not want you here to be a servant or a pet or anything. i honestly was in desperate need for some company and i thought you could use that, too. my friends don’t have the time to come around that often, you know, they have hybrids themselves and my job does not really require me to leave the house either. i simply did not want to be alone anymore. if you’re not comfortable with that, you can tell me now and i will make sure that you can go back to the shelter to wait for an owner that you’ll like better, i won’t be mad.” master sighs sadly. “but i would really love it if you stayed with me”
gguk is speechless. never has he heard a human talk to a hybrid this vulnerable and honest. he could not hold back but storms forward to nestle into his master’s neck. master smells really nice and warm and sweet like vanilla. gguk pushes his nose even further into master’s neck.
“master, of course ggukkie’s staying” gguk can feel the way master stiffens when he launches onto him but after just a moment master relaxes a bit and puts his arms around ggukkie. normally this situation would scare gguk a lot but the comforting scent of his master keeps him calm. he feels so good. master is so warm and strong and ggukkie feels safe.
they both stay in that position for a few minutes, reassuring one another without even knowing. after some time, master begins to pull back from gguk and the bunny is a little ashamed but he can’t bring himself to feel bad about jumping onto his master if it just felt so right.
“jungkookie. the food. i brought you japchae. do you like that? i could also get you something else. i have kimchi so i could make some stir-fried rice if you want…”
“no japchae is fine, master, thank you!” ggukkie almost yells before his master tries to make even more food for him. he still does not understand why his master has not asked him to prepare the food. that is not something a master should for their hybrid. “i could’ve made food myself, master. master is too kind to give ggukkie food when ggukkie hasn’t even helped master today. is master sure that he wants to feed gguk? ggukkie can wait until tomorrow to proof that he deserves to eat”
“yes, i am sure, jungkookie. you must be hungry, right? you haven’t eaten since breakfast and it’s not like i spent hours just to make you this, it’s just leftovers, if that helps you”
that does help gguk. he is glad to know that his master did not cook especially for him, he would have felt bad.
“w-will master eat, too?” gguk asks shyly.
“oh, uhm, i didn’t really plan on, but i could if that’d make you happy. would you like me to eat too, jungkookie?” ggukkie nods. his old master only let gguk eat after he had finished his own meal and while gguk knows that master yoongi is different, he would prefer to know that master yoongi has eaten too.
“then let’s go down and i’ll make myself a bowl, okay?”
master stands up and takes the tray with gguk’s meal and the tea and goes to the door. he waits for gguk to come, so ggukkie rushes to straighten himself and follow his master. once he is upright, he notices that he is still wearing master’s clothes. he almost forgot about that. ggukkie should probably change before eating, the bunny boy knows he is clumsy and drops food on himself more often than not. he would not want to dirty even more of master’s belongings than he did already. but master is waiting for him to get downstairs with him. he is pondering.
“jungkook? are you coming? or is anything not right?” master looks at him worried.
“uhmm, it’s just that ggukkie’s still wearing master’s clothes” ggukkie pulls on the sweater’s hem nervously. before he can continue, master comes back towards him.
“i know, jungkookie, yours were dirty, remember? you can keep these if you want, i don’t wear them that often anyway. or are you uncomfortable? you can go change if you want to. i’ll just go ahead and get the table set”
“ah, no need, master, i will help you set the table” gguk would also like to take the tray from his master’s hands, it doesn’t feel right to see his master carry his meal for him, but it would be impolite to just take the tray. so he just turns to face the stairs and waits for master to take the lead.
with master leading the way to the kitchen, gguk is glad that he decided to not change his clothes. he is not sure if he had been able to find the way, would he have gone on his own. the house is gigantic.
“is it okay if we eat here, jungkook? i don’t feel like eating at the dining room” master set the tray down on the table in the small breakfast booth on the side.
“of course, master, whatever you’re most comfortable with” gguk bows.
“you wanna drink anything else but the tea?” master asks while taking more leftovers from the fridge to heat them up.
“ehm, no, thank you, master. the tea is more than enough” ggukkie never really gets anything other than water. he is excited at the prospect of drinking some tea with his meal.
“does master want to have some tea, too?” gguk is pretty sure he knows how to make tea, despite the fact that he has never done it before, he is a smart boy and it could not be that difficult, right?
“no thank you, jungkook, i’ll take a glass of water. but i can get that myself” master smiles at gguk before turning back to the food.
“no no, ggukkie can get it for master!” gguk perks up. he takes a look around the kitchen when he notices the cabinet with glass doors that holds the glasses. it looks pretty high up but if gguk stands on his tippy toes, he should be able to reach them.
“jungkookie be careful” ggukkie cannot help but flinch when he feels his master’s presence close to his back suddenly. “sorry, i didn’t wanna startle you, but the cups are a little too high up, don’t you think? i don’t want you to hurt yourself. come sit down at the table and i’ll get everything ready, okay?”
master leads ggukkie back to the breakfast booth and gestures for him to sit down on the bench. gguk feels bad that he did not do anything yet for his master but he is not one to deliberately ignore orders, so he sits still and secretly watches his master while the man readies the food, fills a glass up with water, sets the table. when master gives chopsticks to gguk, the bunny feels a little uneasy. he really is clumsy and he never was a pro at dealing with chopsticks so he normally ate with a spoon at the shelter or just went without it at all and ate with his hands. it is not like anyone at the shelter really cared for that.
when master finally sits down across from gguk, the bunny is relieved because all the delicious smells caused his tummy to start rumbling. he did not even notice that he was this hungry before.
“thank you for the meal, master. i will eat well” he says after master tells him to hurry before his food will be cooled down completely.
gguk does not feel a hundred percent comfortable sitting across from his master to eat his meal. in the past he only ever ate alone or in the company of other hybrids, never with a human before. he supposes he will have to get used to it now, with his new master.
the thought of eating the delicious food in front of him stop him from musing further. he cannot wait to taste it. but the chopsticks are a true challenge for gguk. he cannot seem to be able to grab food with it or at least not even one bit of it actually makes it to ggukkie’s mouth. the bunny is getting frustrated.
master seems to notice his struggle and after watching the bunny for a bit, he apparently decides to help the small bunny boy.
“jungkookie, do you need help?” ggukkie looks up at his master embarrassed.
“it’s just that the chopsticks are so slippery, master” the bunny pouts. at that moment, the chopsticks completely fall out of gguk’s hands and clatter onto the floor tiles. ggukkie startles. “oh no, oh no. master, i’m so sorry!” gguk begins to breathe harder. he cannot believe he messed up again. why is he such a dumb bunny.
“hey, no, jungkookie. it’s fine, that can happen. it’s my fault okay? i didn’t know you’d have such trouble” master rounds the table to not only pick up the chopsticks but also ruffle gguk’s hair. ggukkie looked at him surprised but master only smiled at him. “i’m gonna cut the noodles up for you, then you can just eat with a spoon. can you do that, baby?”
ggukkie nods. he is a big boy. he can use a spoon all by himself.
yoongi’s pov:
yoongi really feels bad for the bunny hybrid. he had just assumed that the smaller would be fine using the chopsticks to eat and it seems like the other was too shy to say anything. yoongi knows that making jungkook feel comfortable in his new home would take some time and effort but looking at how happily the bunny was now eating his veggies made him believe it would be worth it. maybe talking to his friends would help him. joon’s hybrid jimin also had a few difficulties at first but now they are both so happy with each other. and that is really all yoongi wants, too. for him and jungkook to be happy.
“well jungkook, what would you like to do after we’re finished with eating?” the easiest way for the hybrid to be happy would be to do what he wanted, right?
jungkook abruptly looks up at him with his big shiny eyes and the spoon full of noodles and veggies still in his mouth. his cheeks get bright red while he tried to swallow his mouthful as fast as possible. “ggukkie… well, m-master, what does master w-want ggukkie to do?”
yoongi groans internally. he does not like how jungkook seems to never make any decisions for himself but just goes along with whatever yoongi suggests. he did that earlier too. yoongi would have to work hard to let the bunny know that it is okay to have an own opinion or idea. but for now, he would have to live with the fact that jungkook just would not slip up.
“well, let’s see. i would appreciate if we spent some time together this afternoon, but i can totally understand if you’d rather be alone to get accustomed to the house- “
“no, master!!!” jungkook interrupts. “that’s fine, i would like to spend more time with master if that’s really okay. gguk does not want to be a bother and master must be busy” he fidgets with the spoon in his hands.
“of course that’s fine, jungkookie. would you like it if we watch a movie together? i feel kind of sleepy right now, so maybe we can just do something chill, yeah?” yoongi is not that tired actually, but he thinks that the day has been exciting enough not only for him but his bunny, too. so simply relaxing with a nice movie sounds perfect to the producer.
“really?” jungkook has a hopeful look on his face. “ggukkie would love to watch a movie but if master is tired, ggukkie can just go to his room and master can sleep and ggukkie promises he won’t disturb”
“it’s fine, if i get too tired i can just nap while the movie’s playing” yoongi chuckles.
“yes, master. then gguk will clean the dishes now and master can already start the film if he wants to?” the hybrid starts to stand up.
yoongi’s plate has been empty for a few minutes already but there is still food on jungkook’s since he started a little bit later because of the whole chopsticks debacle.
“do you not want to eat the rest of the meal?” yoongi asks concerned. the bunny is so skinny already.
“did, did master not want to watch a movie now?” jungkook seems confused, but sits back down.
“we can do that after you’ve eaten up, jungkookie” yoongi smiles warmly at the hybrid. the bunny looks excited about the movie. “there’s no rush, take your time, okay?”
“yes, master” the bunny answers and takes his spoon back into his hand. his cheeks are decorated with a pretty blush.
the conversation dies down again while the hybrid tries to eat his meal as fast as possible without choking so his master does not have to wait too long, while yoongi just looks at jungkook. he is so pretty with his big eyes and big nose and the floppy ears. yoongi will give his best to take good care of him.
yoongi is still lost in his thoughts when jungkook finishes up. he gathers the dishes and stands up to go over to the sink to wash them, but yoongi is faster and takes the dishes from him.
“there’s no need to wash them, jungkook, but thank you. see, i have a dishwasher here” he puts everything into the machine and turns it on. he turns around and sees jungkook staring at the dish washer with round eyes. “have you seen one of these before?”
“no, master” jungkook’s head snaps up to look at yoongi and starts playing with one of his long ears. “ggukie’s old master did not have one, so ggukkie just washed them in the sink. and at the shelter the ggukkie was not allowed into the kitchen”
“oh, well, it’s nothing special really. it is kind of like a washing machine, but for dishes. i have one because i am really lazy when it comes to washing dishes so they always piled up in the sink” yoongi laughs while rubbing his neck a little sheepishly. “anyways, you won’t have to do the dishes, alright?”
jungkook just nods at him with his floppy ears flying around.
“are you ready for the movie then?” yoongi smirks and starts walking out of the kitchen.
jungkook’s pov:
ggukkie follows his master into a room in the back of the house. it has a huge window through which you could see the garden, but master presses a button near the door and huge curtains darken the room. it looks really cozy with a few couches scattered throughout as well as two armchairs. the furniture is held in warm brown tones while the fuzzy carpet is a lighter cream color. ggukkie just stands in the doorway taking in the room. master had shown it to him earlier, but he had not taken a closer look, since there are so many beautiful rooms in the house!
“jungkook, come sit on the couch” master invites him into the room “i’m gonna get us some blankets, yeah?”
master goes over to one of the cabinets and takes out a few huge cozy looking blankets while ggukkie sits down on the edge of the couch closest to him.
“here you are. make yourself comfortable” master sends him a small smile.
ggukkie knows that he was washed and that he is wearing his master’s clean clothes but it still feels weird sitting on the soft couch with the huge, yellow blanket on his lap. he would have never been allowed to do that with his old master. and at the shelter they did not have couches this nice in the hybrid’s quarters nor blankets this comfortable. nevertheless, he scoots back until he is able to lean on the back of the couch because master asked him to.
meanwhile, his master has taken a seat on one of the armchairs. it has a footrest and the back reclined so that master is almost lying on the chair. he has a remote control in his hands and after he pushed a few buttons the tv on the wall in front of them lit up.
“do you have a favorite movie, jungkook?”
“uhm, n-no, master. ggukkie doesn’t know a lot of movies” ggukkie stares down at his lap while his hands play with his ear.
“that’s fine don’t worry.” master smiles at him again. “which movies do you know?”
ggukkie does not know if he wants to answer that question. with his old master, he was not allowed to watch tv with him, he only ever saw snippets through the door gaps and at the shelter gyeommie and bambam only wanted to watch action movies but ggukkie did not like all the violence and explosions so he did not join their movie nights all that often. still, gguk is a good boy and good boys answer when they are asked a question.
“ggukkie… well, i am not too sure about the titles, master. one was with uhm- people in space and they were fighting and they had light sabers. and another one was with a special agent? i think he was called 007. and the one where they robbed a bank but i don’t remember a lot of that movie, sorry master”
“oh, i didn’t expect that you watched those. and did you like them, jungkook?” master looks at him curiously.
“n-not really, master” ggukkie is wringing his hands extremely hard now. he is not sure what his master wants him to say. does master like those movies? is it bad to tell master that he did not enjoy those movies? does it make him seem ungrateful? stupid, stupid bunny. “but, but if master wants to watch one of them it’s fine. don’t mind ggukkie please, master”
“jungkook, we won’t watch anything that you don’t like okay? let’s just see if we find anything that looks good” master turns back to the screen and starts pressing different buttons until a bunch of movie covers appear. “just let me know when you see something you might like”
gguk stares at the screen with wide eyes. he never knew that soooo many movies existed. bambam and gyeommie always seemed to watch the same ones over and over again. and the pictures are so pretty! there are some with people on them, some mean looking men and beautiful women. some are really scary with clowns and ghosts and vampires and all of that and ggukkie has a hard time not looking away in fear and hiding under his big blanket. and then come cute ones with animated, cartoon characters and ggukkie feels himself get excited but he does not dare tell master. what if he thinks that ggukkie is too childish? he wants to make a good impression. so he keeps still. but maybe master had seen him wiggle a little in his blanket cocoon because he stops scrolling for a moment and turns to look at the hybrid.
“how about one of these, jungkook? i could go with some disney for now i think” he clicks on one of the movies and the picture shows a bunch of animals in different outfits. up front is a fox in a green shirt as well as a bunny in a police uniform.
“yes, master” ggukkie responds with a bright smile on his face that shows his big front teeth. he is so excited that master also wanted to watch one of the animated movies and he even chose one with a bunny, like gguk!
master starts the movie and ggukkie is immediately immersed in the story. he thinks that he feels his master’s eyes on him but ggukkie is not sure since he does not look away from the screen so he does not miss even a second.
about half an hour after they started the movie, ggukkie can hear master’s quiet snores from the armchair. ggukkie tears his glance away from the tv and towards his master. he is not sure if he should stop the movie since his master was the one to choose it and now he would not even know what happens. but ggukkie cannot get the remote because that is still in his master’s hand, so he simply watches the movie, but keeps quiet so he does not wake his master. gguk really enjoys the story, nick and judy are so funny and brave and when the scene with flash the sloth comes on, ggukkie cannot help but giggle a little when he sees how frustrated the bunny girl is. he is cheering for the bunny and the fox when they find out that the sheep is the real villain and then the movie ends and ggukkie is sure that this is his favorite movie of the whole world. he would have to ask master if he could tell ggukkie the name, but it is brilliant! he is gonna tell bambam and gyeommie that there are movies that ggukkie enjoys and they even feature animals!
when the credits role, ggukkie yawns and cuddles up into a tight ball. unconsciously he takes one of his bunny ears into his mouth to suckle on while his eyes fall shut and he falls asleep, still hearing his master’s quiet, deep breaths.
***
ggukkie wakes again to somebody stroking his hair. this time he is not as surprised and when he opens his eyes, he has already expected his master to be in his view.
“hey bunny” master has this soft smile on his face that make his eyes crinkle and he looks so pretty. “i didn’t want to disturb you since you looked so peaceful sleeping, but it’s getting quite late and i thought you might wanna eat a tiny bit before we go to bed?”
ggukkie just looks up at his master in wonder. the hand has not stopped petting his locks and he just feels so warm and cozy. the blanket which smells like vanilla is still tightly wrapped around him makes him feel all soft and floaty. he blinks a few times.
“aw, are you still sleepy, bunny? it’s okay, we’re just gonna eat some soup and then you can get right back into bed, alright?” master’s pets are so nice that ggukkie just lets his eyes close again. “no no no, jungkook, you gotta get up for me now. you can take the blanket to the kitchen if you want to, though”
that sounds like a nice idea to ggukkie but he really does not want to get up, so he just looks at master with big puppy eyes. “jungkook, if you won’t stand by yourself i’m gonna carry you to the kitchen. do you want that?” ggukkie thinks about it. he does not want to walk by himself but he does not want for master to have to carry him, so he sighs a tiny bit before he slowly stands up, his blanket still wrapped around the shoulders which makes him feel small and safe.
“okay, bunny, let’s go so you can go to bed as quickly as possible” master says before ruffling his hair one last time. the tv is turned off already and so ggukkie simply follows master back through the house to the kitchen where there is a pot on the stove already and it smells delicious!
“i made soybean sprout soup, i hope you like that. you can just sit down at the table, jungkook” master is already busy taking out two bowls and filling them with the deliciously smelling soup, so ggukkie does just what he has been asked to and sits down the same seat he occupied earlier during lunch.
once master has set down the bowls of soup as well as a bowl of rice for each and some kimchi, he sits down as well. “i hope you enjoy your meal, jungkook”
ggukkie smiles at master with his bunny teeth showing before taking the spoon master has given him and digs in. the soup tastes just as amazing as it smells and ggukkie eats spoon after spoon, so happy that his master woke him up for this. he looks up at his master and sees him already looking at him, with his own spoon in his hand.
“do you like it, bunny?” ggukkie just nods with a big smile. “i’m glad”
yoongi’s pov:
yoongi cannot help but notice that his hybrid has not spoken a single word since he woke him from his impromptu nap. the bunny just sat opposite from him, still cuddled into the yellow blanket yoongi gave him earlier. he does not seem uncomfortable. quite the opposite, jungkook seems to be the happiest and most comfortable now ever since he arrived at yoongi’s house. yoongi still wonders if everything’s alright and so he decides to ask.
“are you okay, jungkook? i haven’t heard your pretty voice since you woke up” he softly says with a small smile on his lips so he does not scare the hybrid.
jungkook looks at him with wide eyes and furrows his brows. he seems to think about why exactly he has not spoken. after a few moments of jungkook apparently struggling to find his words, yoongi decides to intervene so he doesn’t have to leave his hopefully comfortable head space.
“that’s totally fine, bunny. you don’t have to talk if you don’t feel like it as long as you’re feeling good. do you feel good, jungkook?” the bunny visibly relaxes and nods with a dopey smile. “i’m glad. are you okay with just going to bed after we’re finished here? i think we could both use some good night’s sleep after this eventful day, no?” jungkook nods again. “okay, then let’s eat up” and with that they both lower their spoons into their soups and resume eating.
when yoongi has cleared his bowls, he looks up to jungkook who has already set aside his spoon. the bunny has eaten all of the soup but left a little bit of the rice.
“are you full, jungkook?” a very guilty-looking bunny nod. “okay, then i’ll clean the table. you can stay here and wait for me to go up together or you can already go up to your room if you want” yoongi throws a quick smile towards the sleepy hybrid before putting away all the dishes into the dishwasher he had emptied earlier while the bunny was napping. when he’s finished with that and goes to wipe off the table, he can see that his hybrid is already dozing off again. he looks so cute with his long lashes fanning over soft cheeks and his fluffy hair surrounding the floppy ears.
“hey, bunny. is it okay if i carry you to your room?” yoongi is standing right in front of jungkook, the kitchen looking clean and the bunny halfway into dreamland already. when he hears yoongi’s voice though, he opens his eyes and tries to stand. however, he sways dangerously and yoongi decides to just carry him lest his bunny seriously injures himself on his very first day in his new home.
he picks up the small male, who does not even try to fuss, plus his blanket and then he is on his way upstairs to their rooms. he carefully sets him down onto the toilet lid in his own en suite bathroom where he takes out a new toothbrush which he hands to jungkook. the bunny sleepily starts brush his own teeth. yoongi continues with his own night routine and when they are both finished, he takes jungkook to his own room where he sets him onto his bed before going over to the closet. he figures that jungkook would be a lot more comfortable sleeping in his own clothes that smell like him rather than yoongi’s since the producer’s smell must still be new and unfamiliar to the hybrid.
he finds some worn-out, soft sweats and a t-shirt that seems at least 3 sizes too big for the bunny. he helps the hybrid change and puts him in bed. the whole time the bunny has not let go of his blanket and even now he still grips it with one hand. the other hand though, is wandering around, searching for something and when jungkook does not find what he is looking for he whines and his large eyes fill up with tears.
yoongi panics for only a second before he remembers jungkook’s plushie, a bunny, that he had requested earlier before falling asleep in yoongi’s bed so he rushes over to get it for him. once jungkook holds his plushie in his arm and is covered with his blanket, he immediately calms down and his breaths even out and deepen.
when he is sure that jungkook is asleep, yoongi makes his way over to his own room. he lies in bed and thinks about the events of the day and cannot help but be happy about his decision to adopt the small bunny hybrid. the younger is so charming and yoongi cannot wait until he has warmed up a little to the producer and his new surroundings.
yoongi plans to call namjoon and jin in the morning to ask them for some tips on how to make sure the bunny will settle in quickly. just when he thinks, that he will definitely have to buy some new clothes for the younger, he falls into a deep slumber.
