"Daeun, you'll live one sad and short life, kid."
That's what mom always told me--and I always believed it.
I only believed that the path ahead of me was dull; there would be nothing but tragedy, mistakes, conflict and of course, death...but she was wrong, I was wrong.
I learned that you can only decide your path once you've experienced, and my experience was unique.
My now absent coldness was diverted because I met some people along the way, more specifically, at school. There was one particular person that stood out though...
-
He wasn't ordinary, he was different from all the others.
Whenever we were forced to meet in class, he would always give me glances that produced mixed signals inside my brain.
Something about him was so attracting; maybe my liking was as a result of those manipulative, dark eyes, or it could've been his black hair that looked messy, yet nevertheless it was worth all the praise. He was undeniably gorgeous, so much to the point where I fell for him.
He opened up my heart and showed me what affection feels like. It was as if I was hiding in a shell and he lured me out just with the snap of his fingers.
However, my fate wasn't quite the luckiest one. With my proteni being a predator, we weren't exactly the most compatible.
It wasn't acceptable in this world, prey and predator to love each other. It was simply forbidden. Plus, it's not like I can go anywhere near him with that swan always clinging onto the poor guy.
It wouldn't be safe if 'we' were going to happen either. For all he knows, I could pounce at him any minute. Nothing could be worse than hurting him, I'd rather get ignored for the rest of my life. Plus, if we were to get together, there would only be disapproval. The rules aren't wrong or unfair, they're reasonable and the path that I decided to choose was careless of me. It was impossible to make it happen anyways—that's what I thought...

I've always known that I had a proteni, or you can call it an animal that I can shape shift into. Kids with protenus are supposed to start learning how to control them at around 9 or 10. I'm currently 18 years old and I haven't learnt about anything to do with controlling my proteni. I don't even know what mine is since I've never transformed before!
Unfortunately, hereditary doesn't help distinguish a person's proteni. It depends on your personality, your spirit and what animal it represents. One exception is that those who have parents that are both predators are predators as well and same with prey. My father is a hawk and my mother is a tiger so I'll be a predator.
Usually, kids like me go to Critters Academy. It's the boarding school that's hidden away somewhere, my parents won't even tell me. I'm supposed to be there and learn about my proteni but mother was too lazy and I didn't want to go either. My dad, on the other hand, has always wanted me to and he says that it's necessary for me.
This whole love situation started when my mom went to jail. I was actually quite glad that she's locked away. No more yelling and screaming, no more fridges filled with beer and wine and not being able to fit anything else in there. No more weird men coming in and out of the house...you get it. Since my mother is in jail and my parents are divorced, my dad can decide what to do with me without my mother's consent. It wouldn't be a surprise if he shipped me off to that isolated school, it was coming so I accepted my future.
(Also, just a side note: I haven't quite been the same since my mother's departure. It's gotten to me real bad and I've changed my personality completely. I was quite the fun type; going to parties, hanging out with friends, rarely staying at home. Now I'm a cold b*tch that nobody wants to talk to. Yes, maybe it's my fault for being so introverted and moody but It's a way of letting out my emotions. That's mainly the reason why I don't have friends and my experience in the new Critters Academy will be the same. I wish this wasn't true but I've even turned bitter towards my dad, which is not something I'm proud of)

Just yesterday, I arrived at the alleged 'mysterious' place called South Korea. Standing by the doors waiting for me was an overly dressed young man with a brilliant face; nevertheless, he didn't charm me.
"Goodmorning Ms Park. I see that this is your first time arriving in South Korea." he reached his hand out, expecting to receive a handshake from me. Since I understood how important it was to be polite, I returned the gesture.
"Yes, it is my first time." I tried to smile and be as genuine as possible but I've forgotten the feeling.
"What's with the frown? You'll love it here!" He said while taking my bags from my hands.
"Sorry, it's just homesickness." I lied. I dug my hands in the back pockets to shield them from the cold, maybe it was also an action of guilt.
Thankfully, he didn't react to my sudden movement.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Seokjin but you can call me Jin, no need for oppa." He said, "Now, I hope you're ready for one exciting journey..."

Fanfiction"I don't want you to talk to him." Jungkook mumbled as he stared at the grass. "What? That's unfair! He's my frien-" My words were interrupted by his sudden action; he swiftly pressed his weight onto me, pinning my hands against the ground, his face...
