A music class project is due and as cliche as it seems, you get the best and worst possible partners for said project. The best being your friend, Taehyung, & the worst being one of the most difficult to deal with people you have ever met-Jung Hoseo...

"Okay, I remember everything from the very second our mind started working—so it started when we were a baby. This may not be fully detailed, but.. when we were the same person, after we were born, we were poisoned by a deadly strain extracted from berserkers. As a newborn, we were supposed to die, but.. to save us, you were.. un-linked."
"Un-linked? What does that mean?"
"You were.. um.. cut out.. from our body. Pieces of us that became infected. Granted I still have a bit of the strain in me, too, but you.. are quite literally.. the strain itself made.. alive. I'm not exactly sure how to explain it either because I don't quite understand why or how you're alive."
"I.." You looked at the floor trying to piece any sort of sense together, "So I was.. a combination of infected body parts?"
"Yes." He nodded, "Except you weren't even fully body parts. You were just tissue, skin, and things like that."
"That doesn't.. I don't understand.."
"I do have a theory, but bare with me as it may be far-fetched." The other Taehyung rubbed his chin, "We were all separated, right? Because of that fact, I'm sure our abilities were distributed as such, too. Whether evenly or unevenly. Now, as a whole, we were able to shape shift. Another bonus that comes with that is the ability to adapt. My guess is you somehow learned to adapt. How? It seems impossible—especially with you being infected with the specific strain that's meant to kill you—but it's not. Clearly, because here you are."
"I have the.. it's in me right now?!" You asked and you looked at your hands and arms. You didn't feel pain. You don't think you're going crazy. You don't feel the desire to kill anything either. In fact-—you felt the exact opposite.
"Yes. With my abilities it makes it easier for me to identify these things. Abnormalities and such. Us green blues have a knack for those things. Jin probably would have noticed you were interesting, too, if he still had all of his abilities, but even if he did, he wouldn't have a name for it, so it would've taken time. I heard memories was a complicated mess of situations with you guys from Yoongi."
"Yeah.. he did mention I needed a lot more upkeep, but I never understood why and he never explained it fully. I never understood the science behind it either way. But.." You felt your whole body heavy so you sat down on the floor trying to make sense of it all. How were you not dead? You were just damaged and infected parts of a baby's body. "So.. I was just thrown away or something?"
"Yeah. Into the sea. You were just tissue--scraps scraped off the body and barely enough to fit in the palm of my hand." He explained, "The strain should've died off once it destroyed all the pieces. It needs an actual living host. So unless you actually somehow grew yourself a brain and a heart or whatever it needs faster than the strain was killing you..? But.. that quickly? I didn't even know I was able to shape-shift a finger until I was maybe ten, much less control it."
