Hidden ✔️| Hybrid!J.JK x Reader

• Chapter 3 •

You don't even know how you got here.

One second you're staring at the amazing, gigantic equipment used by the scientists on the 8th floor, and a moment later you accidentally press the wrong button in the elevator and end up on the basement.

You were well aware that you were not allowed to be here, however the dark and quiet atmosphere drew you in like a moth to a flame.

You expected this floor to be filled with people as well, but you were extremely surprised to find out that it was.. empty. Of course, if you were a hybrid and had a more evolved sense of hearing you would be able to hear the slight movement coming from the far end of the floor. But you were nothing but a mere human, and so you continued walking in front of you, completely unaware of the hybrid catching your sweet smell in the air from meters away.

You continued looking around, but everything was so dark and gloomy you quickly lost your interest.

This floor seemed to be abandoned, like there were many people working down here once upon a time but then moved to the rest of the floors on top. The dusty equipment and the sometimes flickering lights confirmed your suspicions.

You reached the far end of the floor, right where a huge cage was placed. It looked like a big room, although there were strong, thick grey bars all over it, like it was made to keep a wild animal in place.

Intrigued, you walked to the door of the cage that seemed to be locked with some type of password.

Being a sucker for mysteries and the thrill of the slightest of adventures, you desperately tried to think of anything that would possibly unlock the cage, since you had a big feeling something important was inside of it.

You looked around for any sort of a 4 digit number that would fit as a password, but with no success.

Slightly disappointed and a bit tired from all the walking around you sat down right next to the door, careful not to dirty your brand new jeans that you bought especially for your first day at work.

"I wonder what's in there.." you said as your eyes looked around the dark and boring walls.

"I don't think you really want to find out." a male voice suddenly scared you out of your wits, forcing you to immediately stand up and face the person it belonged to.

There, inside the huge cage, was a man more beautiful than anyone else you've ever seen before.

You instantly knew he was some type of hybrid from the way his dark red wings folded in his back and his big eyes sparkled like tiny little sparks. His wings were different and far from anything you've studied. Maybe he was... a bat hybrid? You were very confused but found him so interesting at the same time.

"Who are you?" You said with a slightly trembling voice. "Why are you here? I mean, in a cage? Hybrids stopped being slaves decades ago."

"I... I am here because.. I am .. special?" Jungkook replied, not really knowing how to answer to your question.

To be honest, he hadn't come across anyone in his 18 years of life apart from Hoseok, Taehyung, Jimin and some scientists that checked on him occasionally, so you were the first female his age he had ever seen up close ever since he was brought to the laboratory.

"You are.. special? Like, a special hybrid? Oh! Maybe you're a bat hybrid! I've heard they're pretty rare.. But that still doesn't explain why you're stuck down here..." you questioned, the confusion visible all over your face.

"Listen.. If you want, and if you have nothing better to do, you can sit here and I'll tell you more about it." Jungkook said, desperate to keep talking to someone other than his guardian for a change. Plus, today was his birthday. He was sure Hoseok would understand.

You were currently debating whether to go to the cafeteria to enjoy your long awaited lunch or stay with the strange hybrid and listen to what he had to say. You unsurprisingly chose the latter because at the end of the day, food could wait. Adventure, never.

A few hours had passed but you had somehow managed to learn everything about the special hybrid you accidentally met. Jungkook was pretty open with his past, telling you all about how Hoseok was the one to find him and bring him here and how he wished he was able to one day see the world by himself.

You felt very bad for the poor hybrid, destined to isolation just because of his genes, but there was unfortunately nothing you could do.

You knew Hoseok was a bright scientist that probably kept Jungkook here for a reason. What's more, you could never put your new internship position in danger by trying to free a dragon hybrid. There was a 99% possibility you would fail and you would not risk it.

So, the only thing left for you to do was to keep Jungkook company.

You tried to visit him as soon as you were done with your schedule, whenever you knew Hoseok would be too busy to go to the basement. As it turned out this was pretty often, because you were talking to Jungkook almost every single day. There were many times when you wondered how the hell he managed to live all by himself, with the slightest of company for all these years.

Months passed and Jungkook's unfair captivity kept you up at night.

What also kept you up were his amazingly good looks and the intense stares he would sometimes send your way when he thought you weren't looking. Jungkook was extremely attractive, there was no doubt about it, and the fact that he would grow old inside a dusty old basement made your heart break into tiny pieces.

One day when you were done talking to Hoseok about an important part of the research you would have to complete by next week, you noticed he had forgotten his own tablet on top of your desk.

You knew what you were about to do was wrong, but you couldn't help it. You quickly took the tablet, while making sure no one was around, and you unlocked it.

"Damn. For such a genius he sure forgot how to protect his private data..", you whispered when you realised there was no password.

Your finger anxiously tapped on the notes app, trying to find a note that would hopefully have the password to Jungkook's cage.

Hoseok was an old man and old men were usually quite forgetful so you hoped he had kept some type of reminder for the different passwords he uses daily.

And right there, a note named "Passwords" greeted you like a bowl of ice-cream on a hot summer day.

You opened it and immediately searched for anything related to 'Jungkook', 'basement' and 'dragon' but you only found a pin for his credit card, a password for some kind of porn subscription membership and a 4 digit number for something called 'Experiment 004'. You guessed your best choice was the latter so you quickly noted down the number, closed the tablet, swiftly put it on Hoseok's desk that was just a bit further away from yours and almost ran to the bathroom to splash some cold water on your face.
