Taekook One Shots

"We section off each of our hybrids. What type are you looking for particularly?"

"What kinds of hybrids do you have?" Jeongguk's cool gaze sweeps over the clean, modern lounge area with an elevator to take them to the higher floors.

"We have foxes, dogs, cats, rabbits and even some more wilder ones like wild cats, wolves, bears and even hybrid sea creatures,"

Jeongguk thinks for a moment before saying. "May I see the wild cats, please?"

"Certainly, they're on the fifth floor," they ride up in silence as Jeongguk checks his watch and adjusts his cuffs on his sleeve. He can't delay too much. He has a meeting in an hour and a half.

The elevator dings, indicating they have reached their required floor. The pair step out into the well-lit hallway that has multiple doors along the side, similar to that of a hotel.

"All hybrids are in their rooms at the moment. They are only allowed to wander around before and after hours when no buyers are due. They are all perfectly healthy and are given all that they are required and are always kept entertained. They are well kept and all well taken care of so there is no need to worry about any abuse and/or mistreatment," the entire time he speaks, Jeongguk silently listens, not seeing the need to speak.

"Okay so we will start from the first door and continue on. I will tell you what kind of hybrid stays behind each door. If you are interested then please let me know and we will enter that hybrid's room so that you may evaluate them,"

Jeongguk simply gives a firm nod, keeping his gaze cold and expressionless making the assistant clear his throat awkwardly.

"Right so this first room is a lion," to which Jeongguk immediately shakes his head.

They continue on, passing panthers, a leopard, a mountain lion and pumas. Eventually Jeongguk finally shows interest in the next hybrid making the assistant sigh in relief.

He lifts his hand and knocks five times on the door. They have taught their hybrids that five knocks means they're entering with a potential buyer.

Slowly he pushes the door open to reveal a very well kept room. They enter and shut the door behind themselves. The entire room is setup like a hotel room, with its own bathroom, TV and even a mini fridge with a toaster and kettle and a few dishes and cutlery.

Turning towards the bed he sees a beautiful male sitting up on the bed. A fluffy mop of silvery-white hair and fuzzy silvery-white ears with black stripes protruding from its hair. He's holding his striped tail and staring at the pair with wide eyes.

"Mr Jeon, this is Kim Taehyung, our white tiger hybrid. Taehyung, this is Mr Jeon Jeongguk and he's interested in buying you,"

"Hi," Taehyung simply says, not liking the cold gaze of the ravenette. If his buyer wasn't going to be nice to him then he's not obligated to be nice back.

"Taehyung here is quite new. He has only been here for a month and a half. He is of the best make. The best of the best genes were selected from both human and tiger genetics when creating him. As you can see he has beautiful skin, piercing eyes and a slender body shape that ensures agility when moving-" a low warning growl emits from Taehyung which startles the assistant mid-sentence.

"I'm sorry sir, I don't know why he's-" but he stops when he notices Jeongguk glaring fiercely at the tiger who let's go of another warning growl.

Taehyung's tail swishes from side to side in agitation. He doesn't like being challenged by this human. Jeongguk stared him in the eyes and refused to look away and in the animal world, especially among carnivores, that is a challenge. The human is not his owner yet, so he doesn't have to play nice. They are in his territory.
