Love is Not Over

Jae slowly fluttered her eyes open, and was met with a dim lamp light. She groaned and went to rub her eyes, and the pain in her arm jolted her awake. She remembered what had happened, and sat up quickly. The couch made a ruffling sound, and she heard footsteps rushing towards her. She was startled so she quite literally stumbled onto the floor, with a thud, pain shooting through her arm.

She cried out and the next thing she knew she felt someone touch her arm. She flinched away, and she saw a pair of floppy bunny ears. Her mind immediately thought of Poppy. Instead of her though, she saw a gorgeous man, with big brown concerned eyes. If not for the obvious bunny ears, she would have thought he was a deer hybrid.

    "It's okay, we want to help you." he said. We..? She heard another pair of footsteps and a tall, very handsome man walked in. Am I dreaming? Jae thought. "Give her some space Kookie.." His voice was smooth and gentle, like velvet; It somehow calmed Jae instantly.

He kneeled down to her level and gave a gentle smile. "You can call me Jin. Did you just fall on your arm?" She nodded, and he reached out both his arms, "I'm a pretty good doctor, I wrapped that up for you yesterday. May I take a look at it, just so I can make sure you didn't hurt it again?' Jae was pretty good at reading people, and when she looked into Jin's soft brown eyes, she could tell he was genuine.

She went to extend her arm, but Jin stopped her, "Ah, it's probably best not to move it too much. Allow me.." He scooted closer toward her and bent his face down closer to her arm. He carefully unwrapped the bandages and she noticed little, white furry ears on the top of his head. She couldn't pinpoint what kind they were, but she couldn't help but chuckle. "What is it..?" he said, not looking away from what he was doing. Without thinking, she reached up to the top of his head and lightly touched one of his ears. It flinched under her touch, and she could tell Jin was fighting the urge to lean more into her hand. He cleared his throat. Jungkook made a noise next to her as if he was trying not to laugh, and she could see Jin turning pink.

Of course, it was after what she had done she remembered that the ears on a hybrid was one of the most sensitive parts of their body. "Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. It's just...your ears were so cute. I couldn't help it." she said, still giggling. She looked back at Jungkook, who was smiling. His smile was almost contagious, as she almost developed a huge grin on her face just by looking at him.

He cleared his throat. "Anyway, there's no sign of infection, and it looks like the wound is already closing. It's just a scratch, but we just need to keep an eye on it so it heals properly." He said, putting new bandages on. Jae felt warm just looking at him, and her stomach flipped when he looked right into her eyes. Jungkook's voice snapped her out her daze, "I'll go let the others know you're awake." and he hopped off the couch to do so, his little ears bouncing in the process.

Jin got up from the floor and extended a hand to Jae. She took it and he pulled her up by her good arm. "Are you hungry? It's about lunchtime, so I was going to make food for all of us." As if on cue, Jae's stomach made a growling noise that was so loud she was surprised. Jin laughed, and Jae smiled at him sheepishly. "I'll take that as a yes. The boys should be back at any moment, and some of us are still here. Just make yourself at home." he said while walking to the kitchen.

    Jae just stood there, not knowing where to go from there. She didn't know where to begin, or what was really going on, but she knew that by the "others" he meant the other hybrids. She wondered where Namjoon was.

She walked out of the room with the couch and she saw Jin already working away in the kitchen, eyes focused on whatever he was doing. She saw two small hallways, one next to the kitchen to the right and another across from her. She spotted Jungkook coming out of one of those rooms, and he was dragging someone else by the arm. He had dark red hair and his face seemed to be glowing. "Jae, right?" Jae nodded, and he continued, "Jae, meet Hobi. Hobi, meet Jae." he said and pushed the red haired boy gently forward. When he got closer, Jae finally noticed the red ears blended in with his hair, which were twitching with either nervousness or excitement. Maybe both. He seemed sweet, but nervous and Jae tried her best to be natural. "Hello, it's nice to meet you." she held out her hand for him to shake it, but he just kind of stared at it, looking lost. "That's a handshake Hobi. It's a way of saying hello, remember?" Jungkook whispered, putting his hand on Hobi's shoulder.
