3- From Paws to Hands

Five years had passed in the blink of an eye, and the moment had finally arrived.

"Mom, I think it's time," Jiwoo's voice was strained, each breath coming in quick, sharp bursts. There was an unmistakable urgency in her tone as she spoke, her eyes reflecting both pain and anticipation.

Eunjung's heart skipped a beat as the gravity of the situation sank in. Five years ago, on this very day, her daughter-in-law had brought into the world two precious pups. Today marked the day of their transformation into human forms—a significant and transformative milestone.

With a sense of urgency, Eunjung and Jiwoo made their way swiftly to the backyard, where Seoyun was already standing, his face etched with concern. He watched intently as the pups, now five years old, writhed and whined in discomfort. The transition from wolf to human form, a rare and pivotal event in their lives, was about to commence. It was known to be a challenging process, fraught with pain, as the pups underwent their first transformation.

The backyard was quiet except for the whimpering of the pups and the soft rustling of the trees in the gentle breeze. The moment was laden with both anticipation and trepidation, as the pack prepared to witness and support the pups through this monumental change.

Seoyun's gaze was fixed on his wife and mother, noting the deep concern etched on their faces as they watched the two pups endure their distressing ordeal.

The setting sun bathed the backyard of the Sharma residence in a warm, golden hue, casting long shadows that stretched across the ground. The serene and picturesque atmosphere stood in stark contrast to the intense and pivotal moment unfolding before them.

On the grass, Taehyung and Baekseul , now five years old, lay in their small wolf forms, their bodies quivering with the strain of their transformation. This process, both beautiful and agonizing, marked their transition from wolf to human—a momentous event in their lives.

Taehyung, with his pristine white fur, was the first to exhibit the signs of this transformative change. His small, trembling body began to arch and contort as the shift commenced. His fur, which had once been a flowing and silky coat, rippled as if it were liquid, gradually dissipating as his form began to alter. His violet eyes, which had previously glowed with an ethereal light, now showed a mix of fear and resolve as they shifted towards more familiar human hues. The pain of the transformation was evident in his low, plaintive whimpers, which grew progressively louder as his wolf form contracted and elongated into its new human shape.

The process was both a display of remarkable metamorphosis and a testament to the pups' endurance, as their bodies struggled to adapt to their new forms under the strain of the transformation.

Baekseul, with her grey fur, underwent a transformation process that closely mirrored Taehyung's. Her small body twisted and quivered on the grass as her fur began to recede, revealing the human form beneath. The once-smooth and soft coat of fur seemed to dissolve into the air, gradually giving way to the contours of a young girl. Her eyes, reflecting the gentle blue of moonlight, widened with a blend of pain and awe as the transformation took hold.

As the transformation progressed, the pups' limbs elongated, and their bodies reshaped into human forms. The transition was accompanied by a series of crackling noises, a tangible sound of bones and muscles shifting and adjusting beneath their skin. Their cries of distress were met with soothing words from Seoyun and Eunjung, who watched with a mixture of anxiety, pride, and a deep sense of responsibility.

With a final, shuddering breath, the transformation was complete. Taehyung and Baekseul lay on the grass, now human children. Their small bodies trembled as they adjusted to their new forms. Taehyung, with his pale skin and delicate features, looked up with wide, curious eyes, his gaze filled with a sense of wonder. Baeksuel, with her soft, greyish skin and gentle expression, looked around with a mixture of awe and uncertainty, taking in the new sensations and surroundings.

Seoyun and Jiwoo rushed to their side, their faces lit up with relief and affection. They embraced their children warmly, their hearts swelling with pride and love. Eunjung, standing close by, wiped away a tear as she witnessed the momentous occasion of her grand children's first human forms. It was an overwhelming and beautiful sight, signifying the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.

Though the transformation had been painful, it was a vital rite of passage. Now, with this significant milestone behind them, the family gathered around Taehyung and Baeksuel, celebrating their new human forms and the promising future that lay ahead. The transformation was not just a physical change but a profound shift marking their entry into a new phase of their lives.
