[ alternate universe: hybrid ]
hybrids. they are treated like animals. made by experiments, man-made in the lab, created for amusement, bought for entertainment, and mostly abused for their whole life.
they were usually orphans who hasn't been adopted after they turn 15 years old. it's not illegal, the government allowed it saying, "what else can we do about them? no parents, no education, they're practically going to be useless anyways". rude. (a/n: please note that i don't think that way. everyone's the same, with parents or not. i'm sorry if i triggered anyone but the government has to be like this here.)
hybrids were like a statement piece. bought by the wealthy to flaunt their wealth. turn them into servants, whether they're a sex slave or a domestic helper, no one knows. they're so dehumanised that people don't help abandoned hybrids at all. unless they're a nuisance, then some will bring them back to the shelter.
and one of them was a squirrel hybrid named, han jisung. left at the orphanage by his parents who lived in poverty, in hopes of a better future for their son. but little did they know that jisung was a sick kid growing up. families didn't want him for the medical burden they'll have to take up. and even so, now, he had been abandoned more than his fingers could count.
he was like the runt of the group. small framed, petite body, falls sick easily, has anxiety, fearful of everything, and lastly, aggressive. for being weak and small, being aggressive was the last thing anyone would think of. but he was.
every time someone tries to touch him, is actually touching him, and touches his food, he would growl at them. all animal instincts. sometimes he would turn into a squirrel to fight better. do not underestimate the strength, flexibility, and quickness of a tiny squirrel. he will win.
jisung was running a high fever when a kind stranger found him by the roadside. they quickly brought him to a nearby shelter where they had specialists to treat him. after that, again for the 14th time, han jisung was left abandoned at the shelter, with the previous owner not wanting him anymore.
shelter life wasn't all that nice. sure they get free food, water, and a roof over their heads. but it's dirty, it's cold and uncomfortable. jisung hated it, it reminded him of the orphanage he lived in when he was growing up. they placed hybrids in cages and they were really small. forcing them to be in animal form or their human bodies would ache. that's how jisung survived. he didn't need any spare clothes as a squirrel, his cage became rather big, he could regulate his body temperature better, and best of all, he could hide in the corner better.
he hated how intense the shelter was. everyone trying to be better at everyone for a better chance to either be adopted again or get fed better quality food. but jisung didn't need to care. nuts are just nuts to him.
a few days went by. the caretaker came in as usual to do his rounds, clean, and feed the hybrids. "today we'll have a customer. so one by one, i'll call your names, and you'll take a shower, dress up, and get ready to meet them okay?" he huffed. the man sounded annoyed as if it was more work for him.
jisung groaned, he just wanted to sleep all day. but soon his name was called, and he took a shower in his human form for the first time in weeks. gross he knows, but what choice does he have? exactly. scrubbing himself down, he made sure he was squeaky clean and free from grime before rinsing off. he felt annoyed by the lack of facial care, but at least were was a facial scrub he could use, and he did. he wasn't even planning to impress the customer. he just wanted to be nice and clean.
once done, he wore the new set of clothes given to him. it was just a pair of boxes, a pair of jeans, a plain white tee shirt, and some slip-on shoes. pain and simple. cheap materials too. but at least it's something than rags and drapes for clothes.
