Tw: strong language, mentions of people getting crammed into fridges by an unknown entity, implied human experimentation, past selling of a child. 

In the city of Cinnaberg, everything was quiet. Everything was finally peaceful. The sun peeked hesitantly over the horizon, unsure whether today was going to be another day smothered by suffocating dark clouds of rain. The morning dew dripped from leaf to leaf, insects unbothered as Yeonjun ran for what he was sure was his life. At seven o'clock the fucking morning, he would have preferred to be tucked cosily in his room. But no, 'training', as his boss put it, had to commence every day. The institution that seemed to slurp up every second of his spare time required him to be out of bed at 4:30 am and then train for four hours straight (WITH NO COFFEE!! He could not live without his coffee). The best part? He lived at the damn place, so training really was inescapable. Honestly, Yeonjun kind of regretted being born at this point. He wished that his stupid parents hadn't sold him to this stupid company to perform their stupid tests on. He was practically their lab rat at this point. 'More like lab panda...' Yeonjun laughed morbidly at his own (very unfunny) joke. 

Yeonjun was an experiment. He was a person who could turn entirely into a red panda, which... does sound strange. His very existence was highly illegal, a fact the 'government agency' he was created by had tried very hard to hide. They said he was doing a good thing, that he could revolutionise the world. Yeonjun was old enough to recognize what this meant. It meant that he could be used as a weapon. 

He had been trying so hard- so hard -to stop that from happening. When he was first told to kill someone, (someone innocent, that is), Yeonjun had refused and had continued to do so until his trainer had fed him lies that sounded logical to his tired ears. Their reason? Well, this normal civilian was apparently part of a 'master race' that was 'doomed to lose themselves piece by piece until they go insane and destroyed everything within the general vicinity, which is actually a whole lot of shit' and it would 'destroy the entire city and kill more people than you save by not doing this damn job, Yeonjun'. Yup. Bullshit. 

Oh, he and his friends' first day of college was tomorrow. The lab thought that he should 'continue his education'. Yeonjun knew this was a ploy to get him to kill more innocent fucking civilians, though. He had heard their whispers behind closed doors, mentioning a 'private school' and 'concentration of the master race.' He didn't want to do this. He couldn't, not even for the sake of his country. He said as much.

They never used violence against him (it went against their 'morals', but really they knew Yeonjun was unlikely to listen even if they inflicted pain upon him), a fact that he was always grateful for. They did, however, threaten to harm his only friends. They had never actually done it, but it worked. Every. Damn. Time. 

Oh! On a lighter note, his friends! Beomgyu, Taehyun and Huening Kai. Beomgyu, the... magpie hybrid; he's very protective, divebombing anyone who gets near his family (sometimes). The one and only Taehyun (literally. He was the only experiment of his kind. They all were) is a pufferfish hybrid! He has designated places on his body where (very poisonous) spikes can pop out, not to mention his tendency to inflate when he feels threatened (fetish people please stay away). Of course, there's no forgetting Huening Kai, due to his unique personality and his ability to be a dinosaur sometimes.

Ah, speak of the devils! They came jogging over, plonking themselves down next to him on the worn bench, chatting idly about their upcoming assignments. "Damn. There must be a bunch of that weird master race at this fancy-ass school for them to send us all there. Not that I'm surprised, of course." said Huening Kai, swishing his spikey tail. "I can't believe they told us to keep an eye on Glitter Pop, of all people! Like, I know we gotta keep an eye on anyone who has a big circle of influence, but I really don't wanna kill her. She's like, my favorite Idol!" whined Taehyun childishly, flexing his spikes. "What kind of race even is born from too many people looking up to you, anyway? Seems like mother nature just wanted to kick us in the balls here." grumbled Beomgyu, puffing out his greasy feathers. He really should have a shower, just saying.  

Nothing will break their bond, they swore once. Heh.

........................................................................................

Soobin was, well, Soobin. Shy, very much addicted to coffee, a virgin and also a gamer (virgin, gamer, same thing). He liked pretending to have the personality of cold bread and the backbone of a limp towel, even though this anaemic angsty motherfucker (fatherfucker, actually. He was too gay to fuck woman) could probably break someone's arm without much effort. Yeah, he worked out.

 Also, Soobin's fashion was en-pointe. He wore crop tops and matched the colours of his outfit together stunningly; it was enough to make a grown man cry. Occasionally, he wore pencil pleat skirts (picked out of his skirt arsenal after many minutes of careful deliberation) that left (some) women flustered (most of the time, this was accompanied by shrieks of 'oh, OH MY GOSH IT HAS POCKETS?! TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT THIS. TELL ME RIGHT NOW') and (some) men also flustered and impressed at the extra pocket space due to his stylish strap-on leg pouch. Everyone else was left gasping for breath as he walked by (even the aros and the aces. Even if they aren't into the bod or the dude, they can't deny true outfit craftsmanship when they see it).

Of course, Soobin had to be an Idol part time (he cross-dressed. His stage name was Glitter Pop. It was practically a right of passage for someone so snazzy. Many normal citizens admired him for his exceptional looks, his dandy attitude and his sexual prowess (her, when he had gigs). It was a good life, inspiring so many people.

Even though he was so handsome (and beautiful), he was very single (single, gamer, same thing), but it wasn't just his status as a gamer that left him fumbling when it came to men. a year or so ago, Soobin had made the mistake of falling for the school bad boy. The guy had asserted that he was fine with Soobin's stand on sex- until he wasn't. He had left Soobin sobbing in a filthy alleyway having just broken up with him, and Soobin hadn't found love since. 

Soobin was very proud to have the same backstory as his cold bread brethren: he was crammed into a fridge one day and here we are. Only difference is he destroyed that fridge. Haha, fun times, am I right? He was living alone at that time, too. I wonder how he got stuck in the fridge? There wasn't anything on the security cams. Oh, what a mystery. I guess we'll never know!
