Chapter 9

Bong-Soon happily skipped around the woods calling out to her self-proclaimed future mate. You followed her a few steps behind, trying to be careful not to make too much noise on the dirt path. Your eyes looked left and right for any signs of a hybrid that might approach you but you don't notice anything. Suddenly you heard Bong-Soon squeal. You immediately ran towards the sound when you found her nestled into the arms of a pale man with black, greasy dark hair and dark cat ears that drooped. His tail laid flat on the ground which was suspicious. Usually hybrids didn't like their tails dragging along the ground since it got dirty. Cat hybrids as you were told, were especially prideful about their tails.

Yoongi caught sight of you and immediately shoved Bong-Soon behind him. He lowered himself, ready to pounce. He flashed his canines. You stood, paralyzed, not ready for what would happen if he decided to attack you.

Yoongi jumped forward, but instead of hitting the ground and running at full speed at you, he tumbled forward and rolled. He landed flat on his back, coughing and groaning. You stepped closer and noticed that his paleness seemed unnatural. The lack of color extended to his lips and beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead. All around his arms were scratches and there seemed to be some bits of some dried crumb on the corner of his mouth. Then he twitched.

"Yoongi oppa!" Bong-Soon ran to him and spread out across his chest.

"Bong-Soonah," Yoongi coughed and wrapped his arm around the young girl, "Stay back there, there's a human..."

"It's okay, I don't mean harm," you boldly stepped towards him.

"As if! Humans claim they're nice and don't mean harm but that's only to lure you into a false sense of security. I see through your act," Yoongi tried to stand up but there didn't seem to be enough strength in his legs. There was something definitely wrong. You quickly strode towards Yoongi and dropped to your knees beside him. You pressed your palm to his forehead. Yoongi grabbed your wrist to stop you but he was too weak.

"You're burning up," you told him then turned to Bong-Soon, "Go get Namjoon, we need him to carry Yoongi inside."

"Okay!" the girl stood up and ran.

"Okay, Yoongi, we're gonna take care of you so you can go with Bong-Soon and Bo-Young to area six thirteen. You don't need to pay us, just go with them,"

"D-Don't touch me," he coughed, trying to push you off.

"I usually would respect your wishes, but for the sake of your health I'm going to ignore you."

"Fuck off," he grunted, pushing you away again and standing up, "I don't need a fucking human to help me,"

As he stepped back, he wobbled and fell forward. You darted forward to catch him and before he passed out, he whispered,

"Marshmallows."

[TW: Mentions of drugs]

[ A/N: Yoongi is a Cougar Hybrid but when he's referred to as a "cat hybrid" it's to demean him]

The next time Yoongi comes to, he felt a soft brushing of his hair. It was gentle and soothed him. He hadn't felt this safe or comfortable ever. For most of his life he had been a prized pet. A black cougar hybrid. One of the rarest colors on a cougar specie ever. Because of this he lived in the lap of luxury or at least that's what he thought his life was. His owners liked to party with him, they took him everywhere and gave medicine to keep him healthy. They got him great partners for his heat, he never had to use suppressants. He ate only high quality food. He had any car he wanted, any hobby he wanted, he could have anything, he just had to ask. It was every hybrid's dream.
