Far Away (BTS Hybrid Au)

A Bad Day

Eun-Jae's pov

I woke up with a start, falling off the bed with a large thud. I'm pretty sure both of the boys heard that, especially since the thud was so loud. I grunted in pain, rolling onto my back as I stared at my ceiling fan. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything today, not even go to my one class today. I heard shouting downstairs and sighed, knowing it was Jimin and Yoongi who were arguing at this time. They got along very well, but there were times that they argued like they hated one another. At times like this, I only wanted one thing. And that was my Dad. I wanted him to hold me and tell me that everything would be okay, that he was right there and he wasn't going anywhere. He had once made me a promise during my third year of high school, when I was struggling with college applications.

"I promise to be there when you need me. I promise to hug you tight when you're lonely. I promise to wipe your tears when they fall. I promise that no matter what happens in this life, I will not leave your side and if that happens, I promise to always be there in your heart and in spirit." His words had meant so much to me at the time, but I often found it harder to cope with the fact that he was really gone when I thought of those words.

He broke his promise to me, and if you knew my Dad, he was never one to break his promises to anyone. But he did and it wasn't his fault nor was it my mom's. The two of them worked in a hybrid rehabilitation and hospital center, they loved hybrids. They helped hybrids who were from broken homes and helped them get on their own two feet. Both of my parents were trained in hybrid health and medicine, as well as human health and medicine. The two of them could medically treat both hybrids and humans, which was really cool to watch growing up as a kid. My father worked in the rehabilitation part of the center, while Mom worked in the hospital half of the center. My oldest brother actually used to sometimes work under our mom, while my third oldest brother would sometimes work with our Dad. My second older brother often stayed home with me or worked in the bookstore that my best friend's parents owned. Since my parents worked so much, I hardly got to spend time with them unless they asked for time off. That left me in the care of my older brother's, who were already dealing with their own problems. Though they never seemed to have a problem with taking care of me or watching over me when needed. I stared at the ceiling, feeling a lot more tired than usual. Which wasn't a good thing considering, I have dance practice later right after class. We always had a longer session when there was a week of no classes, which worked out well for everyone in the end. The dance team consisted of Suho, Baekhyun, Sehun, Lisa, Kai, Jisoo and I. Since Jimin was my dance partner, I often brought him with me to practice and he would join in on learning and teaching choreography. My alarm went off, making me sigh as I heard a knock on my door. I didn't bother looking to see who had walked in, "Kitten, what are you doing on the floor? Did you fall off the bed?" Yoongi came into my view, I looked away from the ceiling. "Are you alright?" I nodded, giving him a small smile and sat up. Not long after, I got ready for class and headed out.

"Ms. Eun-Jae," I lifted up my head, taking my attention off of my bag to look at my professor, who was sitting at her desk. The bell had rung, which signaled the ending of class and I was about to head out to dance practice. I had told Yoongi earlier that once my class was finished that I had to go straight to dance practice and then to work, since I had an earlier shift in the day. I would be on shift with Chanyeol and Ra-young, since Baekhyun, Sehun and Suho had taken the later shift. "Yes?" I answered, "Can you come see me for a bit?" I put all my stuff in my bag, heading over to her desk. "Yes, Professor Kim?" I asked, "The reason I called you over here is because I've noticed that your grades are slipping a bit. I can see that you have a lot going on, but I'm beginning to think it's affecting your schoolwork. I've heard the rumblings of you owning two hybrids. I know they are a lot to handle, but please, if you are having trouble understanding the lesson then come to me. Or to the academic study wing, they have tutors who can help you." She said, the two of us locking eyes. "Now, you're sitting at a 67%. If you can pass this next quiz on Thursday, then that will bring your grade up to at least a C. Please study the material. If you need help, you can always come to me." When I heard that my grades were slipping, I was surprised. Even though I struggled with math, I was fairly good at keeping my grades up. My parents were always proud that I brought home A's and B's, sometimes even the occasional C. But having a D, it ruined my mood completely. I nodded at her words, trying not to panic as I grabbed my stuff and headed to dance practice. I felt like I was letting my parents down, even though... I no longer had them around. It worsened my already horrible mood, since Jimin and Yoongi had woken me up way earlier today than my alarm because they were fighting one another. When I got to the dance practice room, I went and changed into my rehearsal clothes and still felt my mood was completely ruined.

"Alright!" Suho called out, clapping to get everyone's attention. Yes, Suho is indeed the team leader for our dance club. He and Sehun were the first members to create the club, then joined Baekhyun, Kai and Chanyeol and eventually three others besides me. "Today, we're gonna be learning a new choreo. So Sehun is gonna demonstrate it first, he's learned the whole dance in advance. So he'll be teaching us the choreo." He looked over at Sehun, who bowed at us and smiled. "Shall we get started?" He asked, turning back to us.

"Ne!!!"

Within an hour into practice, I kept messing up every single move and it was pissing everyone off. Suho and Baekhyun looked extremely concerned, especially because I kept bumping into Chanyeol or stepping on Kai's foot by accident. This time, I bumped into Chanyeol who then bumped right into Kai, who was already agitated enough with me messing up. "Yah!!!! What is wrong with you?! Why the hell do you keep messing up every step?!" Kai snapped, turning to me as I heard the music cut off. "I'm sorry." I apologized, looking down at my fingers. "I'm sorry, Kai.. I'm.. I just.." I felt the tears welling up, feeling more frustrated with myself than anything. "Alright, everyone take a break. We'll resume in ten minutes." Kai stormed off to calm down, while Chanyeol headed over to his bag since we had to leave soon.

"Jae, what's going on? This is not like you." Sehun came over to me with Baekhyun and Suho in tow, the three of them looking concerned.

"I'm.. I'm sorry.. I should get going, my shift starts soon." Without another word, I spun on my heel and grabbed my bag. I took a quick shower, slipping into my work uniform and grabbed all my stuff before leaving the practice room without Sehun or Suho following me.

~Hours later~

I unlocked my front door, slipping inside as I smelled the most delicious scent coming from the kitchen. Yoongi must have cooked something, there were times where the panther hybrid wasn't lazy and would cook lunch or dinner. I slipped my shoes off, placing my keys on the key ring and headed inside to put my stuff down. I heard rushing footsteps, knowing that it was Jimin. But I just wasn't in the mood to smile, all I wanted to do was cry. Work had been harder today than usual, because we had gotten some problematic customers who caused a scene. The rushing footsteps, however stopped as I set my stuff down on the couch. On the other couch, was Yoongi who was sleeping soundly.

"Kit, what's wrong?" Jimin asked, standing still with concern written all over his face. I looked up at him, slumping my shoulders as the urge to cry became stronger. Tears welled in my eyes causing Jimin to let out a small gasp as Yoongi opened his eyes. Before I knew it, I just started walking towards Jimin. I picked up my pace, throwing myself at him as he held his arms open. The minute I wrapped my arms around him, I just let all of it out. All of the frustrations from today and the fact that I missed my parents, I let all of it out and started sobbing in his arms. Yoongi was a bit startled by my sudden crying, but Jimin merely just wrapped me in a hug and held me tightly.

"It's alright. Let everything out. It's okay." He whispered in my ear, my sobs shaking his body and mine. Yoongi sighed heavily and dragged himself off the couch, and came over to the two of us. He then wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, resting his head on top of mine as I just cried into Jimin. Jimin continued to whisper in my ear, trying to calm me down. At some point, they had gotten me over to the couch but my tears didn't stop. I didn't realize how tired I was until I had stopped sobbing, my eyes slowly fluttered shut as I held onto Jimin with Yoongi still holding me. I heard Yoongi whisper something, but I couldn't catch what he said.
