MIN  YOONGI

Yoongi shifted in his place on his bed. He was still bothered by the fact that he might have seriously just raised the dead in the basement. But just exactly how? Everything had happened so fast.

"Yoongi, are you listening to me?" Jin's voice was louder than before pulling him away from his mixed thoughts.

"Not really." Yoongi said honestly,"Sorry, I'm just.. I don't know." And he really didn't know, he wanted to explain everything to Jin. Jin was someone he knew he trusted but how was he supposed to tell him that might have brought dead people back to life? The crackling of bones still haunted his mind, even the jagged pieces stroking his face will sure give him nightmares for a very, very long time.

"I won't push." Jin said softly," I'm here for support and a listening ear. You should know we all are." 

That sudden urge to cry again washed over Yoongi. He so badly wanted to go back home, so badly he wanted his old life back. Even if people thought he was crazy for talking to a person only he  could see. He'd kill just to go back to that again.

"Yoongi?" Jin once again brought his attention back to reality. Yoongi only slightly looked at him in return,"Be honest with me here." Jin narrowed his eyes slightly,"What's under the bed?"

'shit..' He had forgotten all about Jimin's Changing. He didn't think he could lie his way out by the way Jin was eyeing him.

"..It's not a 'what', its a 'who' " Yoongi adverted his eyes down in shame,"It's Jimin."

Jin sat silently for a awhile before he went into a fit of laughter,"So.. Your saying Jimin is under the bed?" 

Yoongi glared, amused,"That's what I'm saying, yes."

"So I can just go have a peekright? And he'll just be chilling under there for no reason?" Jin stood from his chair, his attention now focused on the bed, he took two steps toward it before Yoongi rushed in front of him.

"W-wait!" Yoongi threw his hands out to stop him. Jin crossed his arms over his chest in disapproval,"That's not Jimin, Yoongi. Don't lie to me."

"I'm not!" Yoongi yelled defensively,"What makes you think I'm not?"

Jin didn't say a word and the boys stood there for what seemed like forever in silence. Finally he sucked in a breath and everything came spilling.

"We all have secrets, I have mine, you have yours. It's just a matter of who you trust to tell them to." 

Yoongi's eyes widened in hurt,"You don't.. trust me?"

"You're telling me that's Jimin under there?" Jin pointed at the bed, a gesture that made Yoongi somewhat nervous.

Yoongi hesitated,"Well no.. not physically but inside he is."

Jin raised his eyebrows,"What does that mean?"

Yoongi finally let out a sigh of defeat and moved to the side, motioning for Jin to just check. Jin nodded approvingly before walking right next to the bed. He looked at Yoongi but he had looked away from the scene getting ready to unfold. Jin crouched down, one hand on the ground, the other one on the bed for support. Then he slowly lowered his head down to peer under. He met piercing cold blue eyes, and he gasped, falling backwards.

"What is that?!" Jin fumbled to get up,"That's not Jimin, Yoongi answer me!" Jimin had finally shown himself, his rusty brown fur stood on end, threatened and ready for a fight. A low growl was released from deep within his throat. 

"Jimin.. that's enough." Yoongi held his hand out to get his attention,"Jin, just.. relax, he won't hurt you." 

Jin had gone completely stiff on the floor, his eyes never leaving the growling beast in front of him,"You're crazy Min Yoongi.." He whispered.

Yoongi chuckled lowly,"I know." And he meant it, he knew he would have to accept it sometime, now might be that time.

'I knew this would happen.' Jimin's voice entered Yoongi's thoughts,'I knew people would be afraid of me, even my closest friends think I'm a bloodthirsty monster.' Jimin slinked make from Jin, his bushy tail curled under him and his large pointed ears moved back like he had been kicked. 

Yoongi frowned deeply. Jimin shouldn't have to feel so threatened by what he really is. Not when Yoongi himself isn't what he seemed. Jin was hiding something too. Yoongi already knew that Namjoon had a poltergeist, he had witnessed that firsthand. So why does Jimin have to be so ashamed? It actually hurt Yoongi to see him backing away slowly like he been abandoned. Yoongi knew what it felt like to feel that way, he would never let someone else feel that pain.

He followed Jimin's movements, his eyes locking on to his blazing blue ones.

'Don't.' Jimin growled. 

Yoongi shook his head, determined now,"Don't just back away, don't just push me away Jimin. You're not alone."

'But I am, what could you possibly know about being alone!?' Jimin backed into the bed but didn't try to hid back under it. Yoongi had crouched down in front of him, pressing his forehead into Jimin's soft fur.

"I know about being alone, more than you think. I know that feeling more than anything." He whispered against him. Yoongi wrapped his arms around Jimin's over-sized body, the fur tickling his sensitive skin.

That's when Jimin's body tensed, his heart-beating slowed along with his breathing. Slowly, he gradually changed back into his normal form. Yoongi never let go regardless of how the sound of bones cracked and moved back into place.

Yoongi listened quietly to Jimin's sobs as he clung to his shirt. Jimin was so small, so fragile in his arms and yet he was so powerful and intimidating just minuted ago. 

"..Wow.." Yoongi had forgotten Jin was still in the room,"I.. I had no idea." Jin breathed out, coming only slightly closer. Yoongi gently stroked Jimin's bright orange hair, trying to calm him down,"Come on, let's get you washed up." Jimin only nodded slightly, too weak to really move anymore.

"We'll talk more about this later, Jin." Yoongi looked at him, helping Jimin up,"And then you'll explain how you knew about me and Jimin."
