Less than an hour later, Yoongi- as he finally introduced himself- exits the room as Jin finally arrives. At this point you're no longer hiding under the covers, having come out soon after Yoongi tried reassuring you. He kept you company the entire time, remaining silent the entire time instead of trying to make pointless small talk.

You try to refrain from burrowing back under the soft covers once you hear them approaching your room. Even through the door, you can smell Yoongi and his friend. Jin smells like a hybrid though you can't quite place what kind. He smells like pine and vanilla, a rather soothing scent compared to Yoongi's mint and coffee smell. Both of the scents are quite nice either way and they're both growing stronger.

There's a light knock at the door before Yoongi enters the room with Jin following after him. Your body automatically stiffens upon being met with a stranger, an instinct you can't quite control. Every time you met someone new before you were greeted with harsh words and even harsher hands. Granted, none of them were hybrids but that doesn't really mean anything.

"Jin, this is the hybrid I found." Yoongi motions towards your smaller form trembling on the bed before turning towards you. "This is Jin, an alpaca hybrid. He's the best hybrid doctor we've got so he'll be taking care of your injuries like I mentioned before. Does he have permission to touch you?"

You warily glance over the hybrid, subtly breathing in his scent. Usually when someone has ill intentions or are just horrible in general they give off a rather bitter scent. Jin only smells of pine and vanilla, not even the smallest hint of anything bitter. Making up your mind, you nod your head.

Jin gives you a soft smile as he moves closer, taking a seat on a chair that has wheels. "I'm going to look you over for any injuries now. Are there any that you can point out to me?"

You keep your gaze locked on him just in case he makes any sudden moves as you lift your back paw that is still filled with glass. Jin snaps some gloves on before scooting closer, leaning in to better examine the wound. Frowning, he gently takes hold of your leg, turning it just slightly to get a better view.

"I'll need to remove the glass first before cleaning and stitching the cuts. Unfortunately, it'll be better for me to do the stitches if you're not in your animal form. That way you don't have to stay like this for the few weeks it'll take to heal. If I give you the stitches while you're like this, changing forms will make them tear apart and I'd have to redo them. Is that okay?"

The thought of shifting after being like this for so long is a little scary, especially since the first people who will see the real you are two strangers that you've only just met. Any time you even remotely attempted to shift back while at the fighting ring you were beaten until you were physically too weak to even move. Yoongi and Jin don't seem like they would do anything to you but even the slightest chance makes you nervous.

"Alright." Jin's voice brings your attention back to him. "I've gotten the glass removed so all that's left is for you to shift and put on the gown Yoongi brought in for you. We'll step out to give you some privacy."

Confused, you glance down at your paw only to see it bleeding now that the glass is gone. You were so lost in your mind that you had failed to realize he had started pulling the shards from your skin. Not even a single pinch of pain registered during the entire process.

The two men do as they said, exiting the room so you can have privacy. You sit there for a while simply giving yourself a pep talk before you finally begin to shift into your normal form. The change is uncomfortable and slightly painful as it's been so long since you've experienced it but soon enough you're back to being your human hybrid self. The only remaining features of your animal side being your small fluffy ears and long tail.

You grab the light blue gown from the end of the bed, cringing slightly as you feel the scratchy material. Unfortunately it's your only option unless you want to remain naked in front of them. That's certainly not something you'd find to be a pleasant experience. So, with slight reluctance you pull on the uncomfortable gown, tying the back of it so it doesn't fall off.

Moments later there's a light knock at the door. Upon receiving no response, it cracks open before Jin pops his head in, eyes slightly squinted as if he's ready to quickly shut them should you be indecent still. He seems to relax upon seeing you in the gown, his smile growing as he steps into the room. You shift under his gaze as his eyes trail over your exposed arms, noticing the scars littering them. There's no fur to cover them now so they all can be easily seen.

Your ears subconsciously flatten back against your head the longer he looks over your body, your tail moving to wrap around to your chest so you can hold it. Seemingly noticing your tense form, he forces his gaze to go to your foot. "I'll go ahead and do the stitches now. It shouldn't take long."

You almost whimper when you see him pull out the needle, instantly squeezing your eyes closed so you don't see the sharp tool digging into your skin. He must've numbed your foot at some point since you don't feel the pain, just a slight tugging as he pulls the wound closed with each tug of the thread. He was right about it not taking long as he finishes within minutes, wrapping the freshly stitched wound.

"The stitches will be able to come out in a few weeks. Until then, try your best to stay off of your foot and don't shift. Wouldn't want to rip the stitches before you're all healed up." He gives you a polite smile before standing and leaving.

The second he's gone you relax your still tensed body. You're now alone once again, leaving you to curl up under the white blanket as exhaustion takes over. It's been a long day and night so it doesn't take long for your eyes to flutter close as you drift off. Yoongi cracks open the door, checking on you only to notice that you're asleep. He clicks off the light before shutting the door, deciding that you'll be fine until he comes back in the morning.
