Not My Hybrids- BTS

Chapter.13

That night Y/n was busy preparing everything for dinner, deciding to make a simple chicken stir fry as the main dish.
Now she was just figuring out how many sides to make, and how big of portions will be enough for everyone to be satisfied.

Lost in her own thoughts and calculations she didn't even notice the soft padding sound of feet walking towards her.

  "Excuse me.." an almost timid voice spoke from behind Y/n, although confused she turned to lock eyes with Jin.

"Can I help you with something Jin?" She tied an apron around her waist, quickly washing her hands.
He nodded at her, eyes flickering around nervously.

"I was wondering if I'd be able to help cook dinner with you?" Her offer from earlier had made him excited.
Never before had he been given a choice- Either he was forced to prep all the meals or he was banned from the kitchen.

  The option to cook, and be allowed to stop whenever he wanted felt almost too good to be true, but he couldn't resist asking anyway.

  He knew if he wanted the others to try to make the best of this situation, that he'd have to step out of his comfort zone. Namjoon was right, staying here together would be the safest option for the pack in the long run.
  And if worst came to worst, Jin wasn't above stealing some quick cash and going on the run with his family.

  Not that he wanted too, he didn't trust Y/n but he also didn't sense the need to be on guard around her. She was definitely better than most humans he'd met in the past, even if that didn't say much.

"Of course! Do you mind starting on some sides?"

For the next hour Jin and Y/n worked quietly together in the kitchen. Taehyung once again silently watching the two from the entryway.

He'd checked on Jungkook after Y/n left him on the couch, shocked when the younger had pulled him down to sit together.
It was the first time the two had relaxed on a couch that wasn't inside the shelter.
This one didn't have tape covering holes, wasn't scratched up, and didn't smell. It was nice, comfy. It smelled like Y/n and for some reason that didn't upset Taehyung.
He'd fallen asleep on it for a few minutes before shooting awake.
And now he was here, keeping an eye on Y/n.

"What are you doing?" Hoseok questioned Taehyung, startling him. He'd been so focussed on watching Y/n, he didn't even notice Hoseok standing beside him for the past few minutes.

"Nothing." Tae shrugged him off, going back to his room to relax until dinner was ready, passing by a sleeping Jungkook on the couch.

It had been long enough that it was fine for him to nap a bit, Tae didn't think he had a concussion, and if he did it wasn't a bad one.
He just needed to rest a little and would be good as new tomorrow.

Hoseok watched with curious eyes as Tae retreated back, then fixed his gaze at what had initially caught his attention.
Y/n and Jin were cooking together in the kitchen, and Jin didn't seem like he was being forced into doing it.

Hoseok would follow his pack to the ends of the earth, and although being cooped up in a strange house against his initial will was bringing back dark memories, he thought Y/n had a soothing presence.

He shuddered at the thought but parts of her did start to remind him of Aera, just like Jimin had said.
He'd almost wiped her from his memories, but now she danced through them on a loop.

Him along with the others knew she'd tried to persuade Jimin into leaving with her. He hated her for it. He wanted Jimin to have a safe and comfortable life, but if she was willing to risk asking if he could come with her- why hadn't she done the same for the rest of them?

Hoseok remembered the countless nights he snuck Jungkook out of the bunny enclosure to cuddle him to sleep on the couch upstairs. How much he cried and yelled when Aera left.
How angry Jungkook had been.

Jungkook fell in love, his first crush. And what had she done in return? Used him to get into their pack.To get close to their Jimin. 
  He swore if he ever saw her again; he'd tear her to shreds for all the pain she caused the seven of them.

   Hoseok pulled himself out of his daze long enough to see Jin and Y/n smiling at each other while setting out the food on the table.

He caught eyes with Jin, and with a subtle nod left to go gather the others, choosing to wait until the rest were in the kitchen to start waking up Jungkook. The maknae could do with a little extra sleep after their hectic day.

A/n: shorter chapter just to add a bit of fluff and some background hints about Aera... opinions of her so far? ;)
