Hybrid

Nanon called ohm with a worried expression.  He was supposed to come to pick him up From his cafe to go on a date but ohm is running late. Nanon sat inside the staff room and constantly called ohm. He was getting anxious. 

"dude calm down. He is fine. He must have too much work."

" no dew... You don't understand... He always picks up my phone. He even replies to my texts fast."

"stop worrying." nanon kept pacing around the room. His mind keeps chanting ohm's name. He was already 1 hour late. Nanon had enough of waiting. He decided to go out of the cafe to look for ohm.

"dew. I'm gonna go now. I need to find ohm." he was about to walk out the door.

"wait! Ohm told us to never let you leave alone. He will come just wait"

"no, I can't wait anymore" nanon started walking forward without looking in front of him. Suddenly his nose hit a familiar smell as well as a firm chest. He looked up to see his cousin tay standing in front of him. New was beside tay and holding ohm by his shoulder.

"so hello brother. Nice to see you alive and working." nanon couldn’t feel happy seeing his cousin after so many weeks. He knew his cousin wanted to take him back. He was thinking about sending a letter but It's too late.

"hi, p'tay... P'new leave him. You are hurting him. " nanon tried to save ohm

"NO! He should get hurt don't you think? " tay glared at ohm and ohm glared back.

"What are you talking about" nanon snatched ohm out of new's grip and started to examine his face. He was beaten up. His lips were bleeding and he had several bruises on his face.

"Are you okay baby? I'm so sorry." nanon wiped the blood from ohm's lips and fixed his messy hair.

"nanon... Let's go back. " tay pushed ohm aside and held nanon's hands.

"excuse me gentleman" dew jumped in as soon as he heard this sentence. He was confused about who they were but that sentence made every confusion clear.

"Who are you to take him? He wants to stay here" dew tried to talk it out with tay.

"oh, another hy-" dew cut him off because no one knows about hybrids.

"let's take this outside shall we?" dew pulled them out of the cafe because he didn't want them to say unnecessary stuff. When they were outside of the cafe tay pulled nanon by his hand and held him close firmly. Ohm held nanon's hand to stop him from going away from him.

"leave him" tay commanded.

"no. He wants to stay with me." ohm stated with a firm voice. He knew nanon was not gonna leave him.

"you manipulated my brother. Do not talk about his will" tay yelled at ohm. Ohm didn’t even flinch. He was ready to fight for nanon. He glanced at nanon and saw him holding his tears back.

"but I can confirm that he wants to stay with ohm. He even got a job because he wants to stay with ohm-" dew tried to make things clear. He thought maybe they will understand if a third party tells them.

"See new? This is how they use hybrids. You are a hybrid yourself right? Why are you using him-" tay started pointing at dew accusing him.

"enough p'tay. They are telling the truth-" nanon tried to talk.

"shut up nanon... You are lucky others didn't come today. Or else this little friend of yours would've died. Now let's go back" tay yelled at him for the first time in his life.

"no p'tay. I cannot leave ohm" nanon protested but tay started dragging him. Ohm held nanon's hand and looked at him with teary eyes.

"Please don't go meow"

"p'tay let me go"

"p' please understand nanon. He doesn't want to go" suddenly new slapped ohm and started punching him. Ohm's grip got loose and tay dragged nanon to the car. Nanon tried to fight back and go to ohm but he couldn't do anything. He only saw new hurting his friend. Dew tried to stop but he was afraid of new. New hurt ohm pretty badly. He was laying on the street looking lifeless and dew started calling an ambulance. Ohm looked at nanon for the last time.

"I will come for you nanon. Nothing will separate me from my meow"

Ohm was walking to the bus station. Today he was taking nanon out. They called it a date but is it a date? Ohm couldn't stop thinking about nanon the whole day. He planned everything. He was gonna hold nanon's hand the whole day. He was gonna love nanon the whole night. He was gonna make nanon so happy today. He even bought a book for nanon. He was waiting when two guys came up to him.

"excuse me. Have you seen a cat like this? Or a man like-" that man looked at the man beside him. It seemed like they were talking with their eyes.

"you know nanon don't you?"

"wha-" ohm didn't get a chance to talk. The older one grabbed his collar and punched him.

"tell me where he is. Why do you have his scent all over you?"

"Who are you guy?" another strong punch landed on his face. He could taste blood now. The guy seemed furious and the other one tried to calm him down.

"let's talk to him first tay"

"no... New... I'm sure he took our nanon" tay started punching him nonstop. When ohm was about to pass out they pushed him inside the car and told him to take them to nanon. Ohm had an idea. He bought some time by telling them the wrong direction. Ohm knew these hybrids don't know this city street. He prayed that nanon left the cafe and went home. After an hour new got mad at ohm for telling them the wrong direction and slapped him across the face.

"tell us where he is or we will kill you right now"

"Okay okay," ohm took them to nanon's cafe. Ohm's heart dropped when he saw nanon still at the cafe. He knew he was about to lose him.
