A few minutes later he walked in, followed by seven hybrids- all with different ears and tails. "Ah- 안녕하세요!" I quickly said, bowing as PD-Nim sat behind his desk.
The seven men nodded towards me, only a fox hybrid sending a quick wink before chuckling at my flustered reaction right as he was smacked on the back of his head by the wolf hybrid.
"Behave" a hushed whisper was heard.

"Y/n, these are the seven hybrids I just showed you. Am I correct in knowing that you've come here to volunteer?" I nodded. "Yes. I've volunteered at other hybrid centres before but I recently moved near by, and don't have the time to drive up to the previous shelters anymore." I began to explain.

"I heard there was one near by, this shelter and thought it'd be nice to continue volunteering somewhere- if I'm needed that is." Timidly I bowed my head slightly, not meeting the gazing eyes on me from around the room.

"Have any proof?" The black panther, Yoongi. The one who has lurched forward and scared me only a few minutes ago asked me. I nodded "I have the numbers on my phone of where I've volunteered if you'd like them?" I offered.
He only narrowed his eyes at me before turning his head away.

"Ever volunteered at Official Hybrid Adoption, otherwise known as O.H.A?" Namjoon, the wolf who'd been pacing I recognized asked.

I shook my head, " never heard of them, sorry no."
I watched as Jungkook, the bunny relaxed a bit. His ears that had been stuck straight up slumping slightly as if some form of tension had been released from his body at my answer. Unsure of why I shrugged to myself, probably wasn't my business anyway.

"If you're all done?" PD-Nim questioned, an annoyance I found new tickled his tone as he glanced to the hybrids. All seven made eye contact with the ground while he began to continue.

"You mentioned previously you'd be interested in fostering?" All eyes snapped up quickly glaring at me immediately. Making eye contact with PD-Nim, my eyes round with confusion and surprise.

"Um.. sure I guess.. can I ask why? I kinda figured volunteering would be more cleaning or working with younger hybrids.." he nodded before explaining;
"I'd actually hoped you'd be interested in fostering these seven hybrids."
As soon as he finished talked, chaos ensued.

An uproar of complaints and disagreements could be heard, more and more thrown as I stood silently looking towards the ground.
"How can you suggest that?!" Jimin questioned, glaring at anything his eyes landed on.
The flirty, confident yet confusing demeanour he had vanished and the only thing I could feel radiating off of him was pure anger and disgust.

"She's a human- How can we even trust her?" Jungkook pointed his finger at me.

"Quiet!" Standing abruptly PD-Nim, yelled out as a stiff silence fell over the room. Once again, I could feel their eyes on me, like daggers stabbing into my back repeatedly without relent.

"Y/n?" He questioned.
With a brief glance around at the seven, who were obviously upset and against the fostering idea I shrunk back into myself. I didn't think I would be this hated by hybrids.. I'd always imagined if I grew the courage to adopt they'd be happy with me..

"I'm sorry sir, but unless they want me to foster I'll have to decline." I bowed. Everyone deserved a choice in the matter, and I'd seen and worked with too many who hadn't had a say in who they were placed with. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I took that choice away for another- let alone seven others.

"All of you but Namjoon and Jin, OUT. Now." PD-Nim spoke.His voice was stern and although I saw some give looks of protest no one said anything, simply obeying and closing the door on the way out.

"Namjoon, we've had this conversation before. The seven of you can not spend your lives here." Namjoon sent a stern glare at me before he answered.
"Sir we don't want to be around a human- especially one we don't know!" He argued.

"You don't have a choice Joon! Do you think I'd suggest anything that could put you in danger?!" PD-Nim shot back, obviously exhausted.

Jin leaned on the door, a frown painted over his features as he watched the ordeal unravel. A million things running through everyone's mind at the next move.
I slowly raised my hand, as if I was in grade school again. "Um... could I suggest something sir?"

Namjoon groaned, rolling his eyes as if the simple sound of my voice irritated him so much. I scoffed. Jin took a breath in, flicking his eyes to mine and motioning me to continue.
He seemed almost as tired as PD-Nim when I thought about it.

"Would it be possible for me to volunteer here for a bit.. that way- if you did agree to being fostered we wouldn't be complete strangers." My voice was full of doubt and trailed off at the end.

"Of course I'm not forcing any of you into this. I still believe you should get a say-" I rushed looking at the threes reaction.

PD-Nim smiled and Namjoon hesitantly nodded, knowing PD-Nim wouldn't let this go, not this time. This could buy him some more time to convince his elder they didn't need this or that you wouldn't be a good fit, and either way he would take it.

"That might work.." Jin said after a second.

The others re-entered and upon hearing the news all became visibly annoyed, or pissed off. "Look this is final. Y/n will volunteer for a week, and then all seven of you will live with Y/n for another week. After if you hate it that much I'll drop it and you can come back here to work something out.."

Everyone nodded, although before more could happen Hoseok raised his palm up, signaling he had a question.
"And if she decides to bring us back before the week ends? Then we stay here right?" There was something in his voice that threw you off.
You couldn't determine if it was sadness, or smugness. Something in between maybe? Was he already planning ways to get you to give up?

He spoke so matter-a-fact it annoyed you. "Unless you ask to be brought back, that won't be a problem." You spoke, annoyance and hurt reflected in your voice.

Hoseok, Jin, Yoongi, and Namjoon scoffed at your words.
"All you humans say the same things." Yoongi grumbled, his chest vibrating with a low warning growl, ears on high alert. It was obvious to Y/n he was pissed, and she was the cause of it.
