Encanto [HYBE Edition]

"Where did he go?" Heeseung muttered under his breath as he searched the huge ass backyard. Not only that but it's harder to find him as it was already too dark and they had no lights placed in their backyard.

"Jungwon-ah" The oldest looked at the boy.

Jungwon nodded, raising his palms as it shone light.

They continued searching in the backyard, not knowing the scene back at the house.

"H-Hyun Hyung?"

There stood a middle-aged man, not too old but not too young either.

He looked at them one by one, each representing a face of shock.

"Lee Hyun Hyung" Jin muttered, stepping forward. "I can't b-believe it. Y-You're actually here" He said, the grass near him slumping down.

Yoongi narrowed his eyes at the man. "After 6 years, you decided to f*cking show up"

"Yoongi, I'm sorry if I left you all so suddenly. But I had to do it"

"Why hyung?" Yeonjun tears fell. "What is so important that you had left us in tears?"

Lee Hyun sighed. "It's a long story and I rather want to talk to it privately" He looked at the public audience.

Namjoon nodded. "We'll talk to it after the night then. Hoseok hyung, Jimin, please bring hyung to.....his room"

The two nodded, leading the older up the stairs.

"Don't worry everyone!" Namjoon spoke loud. "You may continue. Please, enjoy the party"

The crowd murmured back into chitchats and such, whilst Yeonjun and Soobin decided to lead their new brothers, up to the new rooms that appeared 3 days ago.

"No wonder the new room was huge" Soobin whispered to Yeonjun who chuckled.

"At least there's a new addition to the family" Yeonjun whispered back.

"Heeseung? Sunoo?" Beomgyu called out. "Kai, do you see anything?"

HeuningKai leaned in as silence came for a moment. "No" He shook his head and sighed. "No movements except for birds and twigs" He widened his eyes. "Wait, twigs, that's it!" He yelped, running deeper into the huge ass trees Yoongi grew.

"Why does our backyard connect to the woods?" Beomgyu whined, hopping over large roots that grew out from the soil.

Taehyun shrugged. "I'm pretty sure we're reaching the real part of the forest at this rate"

HeuningKai ran and ran, jumping over the tall roots and even jumping from branch to branch. "Found ya" He muttered, landing right in front of 6 boys.

"Gotcha!"

"AHH!"

"HEUNINGKAI!" Jay breathed out, clutching his chest. "Not cool bro, not cool!"

Behind them they heard leaves shuffling to reveal Beomgyu and Taehyun.

"Did you find Sunoo?" Taehyun asked with Beomgyu complaining in the background about the twigs in his hair.

"Negative" Heeseung sighed.

"This forest is huge, who knows where he could've gone" Niki frowned.

"Wait, I see something" HeuningKai said, already running.

🌱

Out of all the things Sunoo could've end up to, being chased by a tiger just had to be it.

"GAH! I DON'T WANNA DIE YET!" Sunoo screamed, climbing up a branch just as the tiger past right by him.

"I just want a peaceful walk to clear off my thoughts but no" He rolled his eyes at the last word. "A tiger just had to chase me. Great! What else?" He whispered underneath his breath.

He watched as the tiger came to a sudden stop.

Sunoo tilted his head in confusion then at shock as he watched the tiger stand up only to shift into a human boy, maybe from the looks of it, a few years older than him.

The tiger/human turned around, looking at Sunoo dead in the eye. The giftless boy then spotted tiger ears up his head and a tiger tail swinging left and right behind him. "Kim Sunoo" He said in a average tone of voice, not a high squeaky voice nor a deep husky one. "You are the chosen miracle" He said, taking a step forwards to him.

Sunoo kept his guard up, holding the bark of the tree. "Me? The Chosen Miracle? I don't have any gift to start with and what is that chosen miracle anyways?"

The tiger/human just stared at him and the next thing you know, he's already right beside Sunoo, who jumped in fright.

"You scared the sh*t out of me man! C'mon!" Sunoo yelled, clutching his beating heart.

The tiger/human pinned Sunoo against the bark of the tree, staring at him. "This isn't the time to be a coward Kim Sunoo. Time is running out for you and your family" He said.

Sunoo furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you talking about? Who are you anyways?" He talked back, pushing the tiger/human off him.

The boy with tiger features growled lowly at the sudden attack, but collected himself quickly as he dusted off his clothes. "My name is Hanbin. And I am a tiger hybrid. But not just any tiger hybrid" He raised his right palm as he turned it around to reveal the back of his hand, with small stones of black and orange in his hand, as if these glowing stones were part of his hand. "I'm one of the many guardians of Magic. And you" He pointed at Sunoo. "Are the only one who can save the magic itself"

"ME!?" Sunoo yelped in disbelief. "That's impossible! What can I do?"

Hanbin held him tight in the shoulders. "Remember, being a hero doesn't involve magic powers or gifts. It's the decision they make" He said. "I'll see you soon. But for now, figure out this magic madness"

And with a snap of Hanbin's fingers, the tiger hybrid disappeared in Sunoo's sight.

Sunoo let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"Chosen Miracle? Magic Madness? What did I get myself into?"
