Rescue You [Hybrid!Yoongi X Reader]

Truth

"My son has cancer..." 

As you looked into Mrs. Jeon's eyes they were filled with tears. She was barely keeping herself together. Her lips were trembling and her hands were shaking as she held her sons beanie. 

You looked at Jae-hyung and noticed his non-existing hair on his head. His pale skin and dark eyes combined with his cracked lips made everything so much more obvious. 

"When he turned 3, we found out about it... And we didn't know what to do about it..." As Mrs. Jeon was talking your eyes followed Jae-hyung's figure as he made his way to sit on the floor next to Itachi. 

"A year later after going to the doctor and home we still didn't know what to do... We tried to be as happy as possible so Jae didn't feel like anything was wrong; but Jae is such a clever little boy and he obviously understood the situation and how we were really feeling. That year we were given very bad news about Jae, they said that he was only getting worse and worse." 

Mrs. Jeon took a pause from talking and looked at Jae-hyung who was slowly petting Itachi. She knew he was listening even though he didn't look in her direction. Your whole body was tense and could feel the pain in your chest from the overflowing emotions you were feeling.

"Jae had always wanted a dog and so we thought that if we got him one he would be feeling better at least mentally... He did improve when we got Itachi; he looked much happier and he was laughing and playing again like he used to do before he found out about having cancer." 

You had shed a few tears as so had Mrs. Jeon. Her voice was quiet but loud enough for the people in the room to hear.

"The doctor didn't think so though. He was getting better mentally but not physically... A few months ago we found out that Jae wouldn't be able to live for much longer... I didn't want to tell him but as always, he found out on his own..." 

You looked for tissues as you saw Mrs. Jeon fully starting to cry her eyes out. You handed her the tissues you had found and wiped your own tears away with your forearm. 

You heard a voice come from your right side and Jae-hyung had started to talk.

"I'm young but I know that my parents aren't able to take care of Itachi. But now you are here to take care of him and I'm happy about that!" You saw Jae-hyung give you a small smile. 

"I promised Itachi that he would be the one leaving me and not the other way around... But I don't think I can keep that promise, so I need to make up to Itachi by giving him the best home I can find. Thank you Y/N for giving that to him!" 

The emotions in the room was enough for all of you so you tried to wrap everything up as soon as possible and with the signed adoption papers in your arms you stood up and thought about the first thing you would do when you walked out the door to the room, you were gonna take down Itachi's profile from the website. 

You had together with Mrs. Jeon and Jae-hyung decided that Itachi would still be living with them until the time came where they couldn't. You would keep in contact with them everyday though and visit them as often as you could, that way Itachi would be used to you and you could be used to Itachi.

You saw as the family walked out of the shelter and you walked up to one of the computers and took down Itachi's profile. It felt great to do so but you still had a lot weight on your shoulders and you felt more exhausted than ever.  

The day ended at the shelter and you saw Namjoon in the corner of your eye as you got dressed to get home. 

"Hello Y/N!" Namjoon said as he walked up to you. 

Both you and Namjoon discussed a little about the day and you noticed him shift uncomfortably from feet to feet. 

"I actually have something to ask you Y/N, so could we possibly go to a cafe near here and talk?" 

To say you were shocked was an understatement. You had never seen Namjoon this nervous. 

You agreed to go to the cafe and as you sat face to face with him he started to talk. 

"It was amazing that you adopted the kids dog. I didn't think you would even adopt a dog at all after we had the talk in my office a few weeks ago..." Namjoon looked down at the table as he tried to engage a little small talk with you.

"Anyways. I wanted to talk to you about something and it's kinda weird since I'm your boss," Namjoon looked into your eyes and awkwardly continued,

"I have a... pet. And I need someone to look after him tomorrow. I don't trust anyone to really do it but you seem like a friend of mine and I hope you see me as a friend too.. Could you please just take care of him tomorrow?"

You looked into Namjoon's eyes and he was looking back at yours with the most sincere expression. He was quick to add,

"I'll pay you of course!"

You thought about it for a second and remembered that you didn't have work tomorrow and the Jeon family wasn't able to meet you. It wouldn't be that bad to look after Namjoon's pet after all... right?

"I'll do it Namjoon, and I don't need money for it either, I would love to help you out." 

Namjoon breathed out the breath he was holding and thanked you over and over again as he told you when he would leave his pet with you and pick him up, you gave Namjoon your address and as you looked into his eyes he said,

"Oh, it's a hybrid by the way."
