Part 24: The Decision and the Nitty Gritty

Yoongi sits in the office of his uncle, his leg bouncing up and down rapidly. It hadn't been maybe an hour or so since he dropped you off at your house, but he is already feeling antsy without you. To be fair, he is no longer feeling an unbelieving itch all over his body and his teeth didn't hurt anymore, so that is at least resolved for now.

The office where he sat resembled one of a principal's office that Yoongi was no stranger to in his younger days. Maybe that's why he was nervous. The flashbacks from being told off by the principal when he didn't even do anything sent shivers down Yoongi's body. He immediately crosses his arms and squeezes himself tightly as a comforting mechanism. He wishes that he didn't drop you off at your house and actually made you sit with him.

Is he getting kicked out of the pack? Technically he isn't a part of it but still. Is he actually not family and they were all mistaken? No that didn't make sense, he saw the pictures. The family resemblance is uncanny.

"Yoongi?" his uncle places a hand on his shoulder.

"Uncle, hey," Yoongi turns to him, "Is everything okay?"

"Yes, all is well with the pack but with you? There might be something else we need to do." His uncle moves from behind him to sitting at the desk in front of him. Yes this scene was all too familiar to Yoongi. Even the way his uncle leans back slightly was reminiscent of his days at school.

"You sounded pretty serious earlier," Yoongi tries to sound calm and squeezed his thighs.

"It's about your animal,"

"Okay..."

"Well, we think it trying to claw its way out of you."

"Claw its way out?"

"Yes, your teeth aching, the pseudo-heat, it's your inner animal trying to manifest itself."

"Okay, so what happens if it comes out? Do I just turn into an animal?"

"Oh no, you won't be able to turn into an animal. I think it would be easier because then that would appease your inner animal." His uncle strokes his chin and stays quiet for a moment before continuing, "I think it would turn out to be some kind of werewolf situation at one point. Your inner animal comes out a couple nights a month and then you live normally."

"That's an ideal situation?" Yoongi looks at his uncle in shock. Becoming a werewolf didn't really sound very appealing.

"Not ideal, but at least your transformations would be predictable. The ideal situation would be if you do the ritual. That way you and your animal can communicate. You can choose when to turn and you won't be feral."

"What's the worse case scenario?" Yoongi wanted to know all options.

"Like when you went through the pseudo-heat, you would become animalistic in your human body. This is one I would call a Jekyll and Hyde situation. You have no control, and you don't know anything, and we won't know when you turn back." His uncle seems to have put a lot of thought in the worse case scenario.

"Okay...so...I have to do the ritual," Yoongi concludes. He had a feeling this is where the conversation might lead to. Most days, doing the ritual and his inner animal seemed to be the main topic of his discussions. He doesn't seem as panicked about the idea as he did before especially when his uncle presented him with all the options. Being feral in your own body would definitely dampen his career as a singer. So, he had no other choice. The ritual it was. He couldn't seem to escape that fate.

"You have to do the ritual," his uncle clearly and firmly states. Yoongi breathes in and out deeply.

"Okay...I guess I don't have a choice...so sure. I'll do it,"
