Jamais Vu

What Did You Do?

"slow down. What is going on and why is Jiminie screaming like someone just murdered his cat?" Tae comes out of his room with Jungkook in tow, as the two were playing games together in Tae's room.

"nobody killed Yoongi hyung. He's right here" Jungkook jokes, dodging a swipe from Yoongi for his bad jab.

"Jimin.. what's wrong?" Tae comes over and wraps his platonic soulmate in his arms, rubbing his trembling arms.

"okay wait wait. Everyone, living room, now. We need to have a meeting" Jin says, pushing past everyone to go in the kitchen to bring some tea for everyone, even though he would prefer wine right now.

"i'll call Namjoon hyung. He's at the library" Jungkopk says, pulling out his phone.

"H-Hobi hyung was stopping to get food for everyone.. he should be here soon. That's why I got here early" Jimin says quietly, his eyes never leaving Yoongi's hands.

"we can wait" Jin says softly, bringing the cups and pot of tea out for everyone before pouring himself a cup.

-

Nobody but Jungkook and Tae eat.

Jimin is so panicked he barely even moves, stays cradled in Tae's arms while Jungkook feeds Tae and tries but fails to feed him too.

Namjoon and Hobi are too distraught over feeling how upset Yoongi is to bother. Jungkook can feel Jin's distress as well, but he never turns down food.

Jin, is too guilty to eat.

Yoongi.. well, Yoongi is so lost in thought that it isn't until Jin clears his throat that he jumps and looks up.

"start from the beginning" Jin says to Yoongi, who nods and catches everyone up.

It's silent for awhile after he finishes, but Namjoon is the first to speak up.

"and we know this dart is the same one used to shoot Ara?" Namjoon looks at Yoongi quizzically.

Yoongi nods and pulls the dart out of his pocket, shooting Jimin an apologetic look.

Jimin starts to scream that blood curdling scream again until he moves it out of sight once more.

"point taken, can I see that for a second?" Namjoon reaches his hand and Yoongi hands it over.
Namjoon studies it for awhile before he whistles.

"nifty how they designed it to have just enough dosage on the tip to accomplish what they please. You don't see workmanship like this anymore" Namjoon almost sounds.. amazed.

"is that really necessary right now, Joon-ah?" Yoongi whispers softly, noting how Jimin starts to cry into Tae's shoulder.

"sorry" Namjoon flushes and puts the dart away.

"so you saw this exact dart?" Hobi asks, tilting his head curiously.

"yes, that day I had you guys leave." Yoongi says quietly.

"you never told us about what happened after we parted, hyung" Tae says softly, listening intently to every word.

"now would be a good chance as any" Jin says from beside Yoongi.

Yoongi sighs and thinks back to after the fight with that man.

-

Flashback of after Tae and Hobi left with Ara and Yoongi ran into that man who tried to kill him:

"this damn alarm is going to make this a pain to leave" Yoongi mumbles, preparing himself for a fight.

He isn't even sure if he will make out of this alive.

Instead of an army, a beautiful fox hybrid walks into the room. She punches in a code to turn off the alarm and locks the door behind her.

"are you what they sent to fight me? Foxes are no match to Leopards" Yoongi sneers, crouching in case he needs to pounce.

"i'm not here to fight. I am Dr. Lee. You are Yoongi Min, snow leopard and- previous alpha of the snow leopards here in South Korea" she smiles, as if she knows things Yoongi does not, and Yoongi figures.. she probably does.

"so you know about me, what do you want?" Yoongi growls, not really having patience for foreigners today.

"tell me, Yoongi-ah. Does the name Ara Lee ring any bells?" she smirks when everything clicks into place in Yoongi's eyes. "yes, as I thought. You were quite... nice to my daughter"

Yoongi remembers his night with Ara and snarls.

"that was private" he growls, hos hair standing up on end with his agitation.

"nothing my daughter does is private. Nothing" She gives him a look before clearing her throat. "I know what you must think. Why would I run this place? Why would I hurt my own daughter?"

"because you are sick. You are all sick to do this to hybrids" Yoongi is so mad he can feel his tail tremble.

"some people, Mr. Min, have no choice in life but to hurt those they love" she says simply.

"No. You always have a choice. You chose to not only hurt Ara but destroy her soul by ripping her soulmate from her and then killing him. Now? Now you took her humanity from her too. You don't have the right to call her your daughter, let alone say you love her. That isn't love." Yoongi spits out. He has to flex his fingers to restrain himself from grabbing the woman in front of him.

"he left me no choice! You know nothing of what I have been through because of that man" she growls.

"THEN WHY DON'T YOU EXPLAIN IT TO ME!" Yoongi roars, his tail whipping so hard it thumps against the wall.

"I created this serum, but I meant it for good. I honestly did. Some people.. some people's soulmates are not good people. I wanted a safe way for those people to get out of their situation. It would work for bonding too, because let's face it. Evil people exist and they do evil things like force a bonding or worse and I wanted to create something good. Something to help those who are helpless"

"so how did it go from that to being used to strip hybrids of their humanity?" Yoongi crosses his arms, something not quite right about the look in the woman's eyes.

"my soulmate thought it would be good to manipulate me into changing the formula. I was powerless" Dr. Lee sniffles, but no tears come out.

Yoongi realizes she uses this for sympathy based on her way of putting no blame on herself, when in reality it is as much her fault as it is her husbands. She created this, whether good intentions or not, she let him change it.

"can you help me save Ara? You created this, you must know of a reverse"

"i- I can try.." the Dr. Whispers. Yoongi knows it's risky but he would do anything for Ara.

-

The story is interrupted by a lot of yiping sounds coming from the basement. Only, the sounds are 2 different foxes.

"I think we found what they injected her with" Hoseok whispers sadly.

"we don't know for certain" Namjoon says, everyone staring at the open basement door.

Jungkook is the first to get up, walking over to the door just as there is one loud blood curdling whine and then silence.

A few seconds go by with everyone frozen in place until they see Ara running up the stairs with wild panicked eyes... blood dripping from her chin freely.

"Ara.. what did you do?"
