Peaches And Cream : A BTS Hybrid AU

5: A Bear hug

Taking out a syringe and a vial Y/N carefully filled the contents in it. Her hands adorned with sterile gloves moved like a professional. She made Jin wear gloves too. Disinfecting an area near where the bullet had struck Hoseok's leg, she carefully inserted the syringe to not hurt the man, who was already in excruciating pain.

"This will numb the area, if you still feel pain, let me know, I'll give you a sedative to sleep while we treat your wound," Y/N said, like a professional. Taking a force from Jin, she slowly inserted the tool, coated in drops of ethyl alcohol. Holding the butt of the bullet she pulled it out. "Thank God it did not rupture any major veins or arteries. The nearest hospital is an hour's drive." Y/N said. Jin and the rest of the boys watched her work in awe. She dropped the bullet in an empty cup. Taking a suture needle, she stitched up the bullet wound. Covering it with gauze And a bandage, she stood up.

Discarding her gloves, she said, "He needs rest. He couldn't walk for a month to recover completely. Any stress on the wound can cause the stitch to rip and the wound to open. Don't put water on the wound for at least 2 weeks" saying that she took the discarded medical supplies and Jin followed her with the rest of the medical kit. "We are sorry for intruding like this. If you may, would you like to talk to us? We would like to formally introduce ourselves" Jin said.

The living room was particularly silent. There was a strange tension among the people occupying it. "So" the man with the red bandana spoke.
"Why were you being chased?" Y/N deadpanned
"Uhh. That is where I was getting at" he said somewhat fidgety. Y/N nodded.
"My Name is Kim Namjoon. The guy on my left is Park Jimin and the one on my right is-"
"Kim Seokjin" Y/N interrupted.
"Yeah. The guy standing beside Hoseok is Min Yoongi and The one sitting down is Jeon Jungkook. The guy beside you is Kim Taehyung". He said. Y/N nodded trying to memorize their names and faces.
"Pardon me for being so insolent," Y/N said with a sigh. The look on Yoongi's face made her speak. "I do not have the greatest history with guns and strange men," She said adding a half-hearted smile towards Namjoon.
"Can I ask you something?" Jin said. Y/N nodded.
"How do you know so much about treating wounds? Not many people would know how to treat one. Especially a bullet wound" He asked.
Y/N's breathing hitched. "I- Uhm. I used to be a paramedic for the 119 emergency service back in Seoul. That was before my current job at the publishing House" She said. "Holding her hand in a tight fist inside the pocket of the jumper she was wearing she continued. " We were trained to do these. Help injured victims, and treat bullet wounds, any kind of wounds. That's how." She said looking at Jin.
"What do you think of hybrids?" The guy named Jimin suddenly asked. He visibly sank onto the sofa after asking the question. "I am sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. It's okay you don't have to" Y/N cut off his rambling. "I think they are amazing." She said softly. Everyone looked at her. " They are strong, agile, intelligent, smart and have the best qualities of both human and the animal counterpart. I applaud them for the bravery they show in putting up with atrocities committed by humans. They have to face so much discrimination yet they are strong in the face of adversity" she said with an adoring smile. "Then would you mind this?" Taehyung said from beside her and removed his bandana. Y/N looked in awe as two round brown ears popped up against his brown hair making him look even more adorable. "Awww" she cooed loudly and then slapped a hand over her mouth. "Sorry" she mumbled. Taehyung giggled.

Slowly every one of them uncovered their head. Jin hair colourful feathers behind his head, Namjoon had Black wolf ears. Jimin had orange cat ears and Yoongi had yellowish-orange feline ears. Tiger or cheetah. Jungkook had black round ears. Probably panther or bear. Hoseok was sleeping. Head covered by a bandana.

"It's, nice to see hybrids again," Y/N said with a smile of nostalgia. "What do you mean?" Namjoon asked. Y/N smiled. A gloomy expression came over. "My brother, he was adopted. He was a ragdoll cat hybrid. He was nine and the most adorable kid you would come across. He would light up the room every time he entered. My-" Y/N closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "My Fiance. He was a Cheetah hybrid. He was a paramedic like me. He worked as a paramedic to pull himself through medical school. He was the brightest student in the university and was about to graduate" she paused. "Y/N, why are you talking about them like they are not there?" Jungkook asked, as silently as he could. A lone tear escaped her eye. "Because they are no more," Y/N said looking at them. Everyone gasped. "They. My whole family, Mom, Dad, my elder sister, my Younger brother, my Fiance. Everyone was murdered. In front of me. While I hid like a coward" Y/N said, more tears slipping down her eyes.

She felt a warm hand on her back. Taehyung patted her to comfort her. The bear had really warm hands. Slowly, gathering herself she picked up a glass of water and spoke. "So, who shot you?" She asked. The hybrids looked amongst each other. "Hybrid Hunters," Namjoon said.

Crash

Y/N felt like her world stopped. The colour on her face drained. The glass slipped from her hand and broke on the floor.
"W-What?" She choked out. The familiar word plagued her memories and brought back every traumatic incident in her life.

"Hybrid Hunters? They are here?" She asked with wide eyes.
