"Come on Jinyoung. You promised to join "

"I did promise to join, but not to where we are now", two grown men were walking – or more like one was dragging the other to enter a hybrid center. A man called Jinyoung looked irritated when his friend had forced him to get there.

"What's your problem?" asked Jinyoung's friend. They both stopped in front of the most famous hybrid center in the city and talked about topics that have been repeatedly discussed.

"What is the point I have pets, Hyung? I'm busy with my job! I won't be able to take care of them " Jinyoung exclaimed, clearly annoyed. These talks were had repeatedly and he was annoyed that his friend continued to force him.

"They are not pets! They are hybrids! " exclaimed his friend, clearly upset too. He didn't like to see Jinyoung always working too seriously and often forgetting to take care of himself. According to him, what's the point of having money if you don't use it at all?

"Chanyeol Hyung, look-"

"Jinyoung, how about we go and see whether you like it or not" cut the person who was called Chanyeol. Jinyoung let out a long breath and surrendered. This might be the only way that Chanyeol won't bring up this matter again.

Jinyoung took off his sun glasses and was stunned. It looked very modern and clean, decorated with metallic and silver colors. While Jinyoung was busy wildly looking around, someone came over to him.

"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Jennie. I'll be Your Assistant today. Are there any special qualifications required? " asked Jennie, kindly. The woman had a small figure and long-hair. Her smile reminded him of cats, especially the ears sticking on her head. Jinyoung glared. They were cat ears, not just an ornament. Her ears twitched.

"Ah. I'm a hybrid cat. Do you feel uncomfortable with my ears? I can hide it," Jennie said while holding her cat ears, conscious under Jinyoung's stares.

Jinyoung shook his head softly and apologized, ashamed because it made Jennie uncomfortable. Chanyeol later explained that they would like to see hybrids that are available and how the system worked because Jinyoung didn't know anything about hybrids. Jennie, who heard it immediately nodded and guide them into the room behind her.

"Hybrids here are trained professionally. They are trained to have high intelligence, sense of humor, athletic ability and more to be able to meet the needs of the owner. Hybrids here have international certificates and most sought after as the custodian of children, teachers, Secretaries, bodyguards and ... umm as a personal friend. " Jennie said nervously. Her ears moved a little when she mentioned a personal friend.

"Sorry?" asked Jinyoung. He looked back at Jennie, confused. Jinyoung and Chanyeol were busy looking at rooms containing male or female hybrids who were very neat or fashionable with a wide variety of different types of ears, which Jinyoung wasn't sure what kind of ears they were – and didn't quite catch what Jennie had implied.

"Well, some people buy hybrids to meet their... You know... sexual needs" explained Jennie quietly. Her face flushed; obviously feeling uncomfortable mentioning the issue.

"What? No No I just want to look around and find a hybrid that can help me clean the house, "Jinyoung said, his face flushed because he realized what Jennie was talking about. Jennie murmured quietly, understanding. They then walked through another door and headed to the next room.

The next room contained male and female hybrids with typical butler clothes. A black suit, standing tall and slightly bowing. Jinyoung saw them feel awkward because of their professional attitudes.

"They are hybrids that may match. They are highly trained in cooking, cleaning, martial arts, so they can also become your Personal Assistant and bodyguard at the same time. Maybe you can choose which one suits you the most" Jennie said. Jinyoung turned to Chanyeol, who was paying attention to the small board near the door of each room. Jinyoung, who was curious of what his friend read, came over to see what was written there. The board contained the names, the type of hybrid, their skills and the price. Jinyoung just blinked, seeing the price listed before him. He coughed and looked at Jennie, who stared at him with a smile.
