My Cat Hybrid : kth

Twenty One.

"You have some explaining to do, love."

"What do you mean?" Jasmine feigned innocence, her cheeks tinged a delicate pink. Jimin scoffed, rolling his eyes.

"You know what I mean, love. Now spill." Jasmine sighed, knowing there was no escape from the handsome boy. Slumping back down onto the couch she settled before mumbling, "what do you want to know?"

"How about we start from Namjoon last night?" Jimin suggested, scratching his chin as he settled next to her.

"He told me he's still in love with me," she murmured, Jimin's gasp loud in her ear at the revelation. "I told him that I no longer have feelings for him romantically and still see him as a really close friend." Jimin spluttered in disbelief, his brows raising up so high they almost disappeared into his hairline.

Jimin shook his head, eyes wide and incredulous. His hair fell over his eyes at the action and he hurried to push it aside. "So you told your ex-boyfriend that you don't love him anymore and you want to be FRIENDS after he said he still loves you?" Jasmine nodded somberly, wincing at the bare truth. "Just kill him twice, why don't you?"

"Jimin!" She whined, throwing her hands up and resting her head on his shoulder. "I thought you were meant to be on my side." Jimin wrapped his arm around her shoulder, rubbing affectionately.

"I am, love, but my heart goes out to Namjoon is all. He's a good guy, you know?" Jimin said gently, his sweet voice soothing in her ear. Jasmine nodded in agreement, her heart heavy. She knew he was a good guy. It was one of the reasons she had dated him in the first place. He was always so caring and so attentive but he struggled to put her first, as much as he would try to deny it. She knew deep inside that if Namjoon really hadn't wanted to leave for Seoul, he would have forced himself to stay by using any means possible. But it was for a better future for himself and she didn't blame him for it in the slightest.

"He asked me if I was dating Taehyung," Jasmine revealed. "It made me realize my feelings toward him weren't as platonic as I thought. That I really do care for Taehyung with my whole being." Jimin gave her a squeeze on her shoulder, knowing it was a hard topic to discuss. Romantic relationships among humans and hybrids weren't common in their society. This is because they weren't considered on the same class and hybrids were either considered pets or slaves or just bed partners. It wasn't completely frowned upon to have an actual relationship with a hybrid but because there hasn't been any successful cross-bred offspring, they aren't considered viable partners and hence weren't really considered an option. Because of this, public displays of affection between humans and hybrids were considered a small form of taboo.

"Anyways, when we got home, Taehyung had told me he loved me. And I told him I had feelings for him as well, and the rest is history." Jasmine uttered, bracing herself for his response. Jimin paused for a few seconds before sliding his arm back and facing her.

"That's so... cute!" Jimin gushed, squealing as he fell on her in excitement. "You guys make such a cute couple, love. You match each other so well, even if that cat is so grumpy all the time!" Jasmine blew out a breath of air at his response.

"Who cares what people think? People only want to love for a reason to hate other people all the time and it's not worth it! If he makes you happy then they can go screw themselves, right?"

Well that was... unexpected. She was sure that Jimin would have at least a little more to say about the repercussions of dating a hybrid. Regardless, she felt a weight lift off her shoulders knowing that her best friend was so accepting.

"I love your face, Park Jimin!" Jasmine cooed, wrapping her arms around his waist tightly and resting her head on his chest.

"Only my face?" Jimin scoffed. "Have you not seen my glorious body under this shirt? Here, I'm tensing my abs for you right now, touch me all you want." He boasted loudly. A muffled 'don't you dare' growled from the boys room upstairs. Jasmine and Jimin looked at each other before bursting into a fit of giggles.

"Tempting, but I'll have to pass or a certain hybrid will come down and potentially hurt you." She joked. Jimin's cheeks puffed out as he showed his pearly whites. She reached up and pinched his cheeks, causing him to pout his full lips so prettily that she almost dipped her head to peck them.

"So... is he a good kisser?" He asked cheekily, his eyes squinting as he giggled. Jasmine flushed, sighing wistfully.

"He is," she hummed. "Too good actually. I can't stop myself around him, It's too bad he's got self-restraint." She said almost bitterly. Jimin chortled, his hand coming up to cover his mouth.

"You need to be careful around male hybrids though. If they're exposed to your pheromones for a period of time, it could set them into a rut." Jimin warned, sighing and shaking his head at her clueless expression.

"I mean like, they will want to mate and breed you." He deadpanned. Jasmine froze for a few seconds, trying to process the new information. Taehyung would want to breed her?! That sounded so... animalistic. It was strange but she felt like she should have been more worried than she was. She felt oddly calm about what Jimin had said. It's not like she let off any pheromones that would trigger him anyway, right?

"So," Jasmine paused. She tried to find the best choice of words to say. "If they do go into a rut, hypothetically of course, what will happen? Will he lose sense of himself?" She articulated carefully.

"They tend to be in intense pain, find it difficult to think and lose themselves in their urges." Jimin explained vaguely. Jasmine's ears perked up at the end. "Urges?" She questioned.

"Well the urges to have sex with you, of course!"
