Hybrids.

-1-

It was a Saturday, Seoul was busy with life. Claimed hybrids and as well strays, wandered around. The pets following after their owners or care takers, the strays just trying to get food or at least someone to take them in, even trying to sneak into pampered parks for the delicate creatures that were owned.

There were fair amounts of purebred that lived in Seoul, though they could all speak, most only spoke to their owner or mates.

The not so lucky strays had to beg, living in alleys or staying at bath houses to get some shelter from the night. There were kind people, there were nasty. Purebreds were careful and never went around alone. Some even hid their ears and tails easily, beanies or large clothing just to stick out of sight of the sickly people out there.

In Itaewon, the nightlife was booming. The sun was setting, the colors of the sky fading. Despite the rain coming down earlier in the day, puddles still evident in the streets, people were still spending their time out and about. Crowds would start forming, even tho it was still early in the evening. Hybrids, their owners, and caretakers would start enjoying their nights.

Sitting at the mouth of an alley, a stray was resting. Sitting around in the cover of an awning, a human sitting with him. They were holding a conversation if the strays past.

"Hyping, do you ever think things will get better?" Spoke the smaller of the pair, the taller nodded in response. Patting the boys hair.

The two knew each other well. Jin, the taller of the two, was a hybrid vet. They had similar anatomy of a human but required special care and treatments. He was known for housing strays, here and there he'd pick some off the street and bring them home to help them, or bring them to the office for overnight care. He would keep every once he could if it wasn't for his lovers struck rule of "two nights only" stays.

The smaller of the pair, Yoongi, was a younger hybrid. He was sold from his family the day he turned 13. Being sold off from owner to owner, they were breeders and made money off strays, luckily Yoongi was only used a pretty face for the ones who took him.

His skin was beautiful, his hair a lush brown. His ears a tan color with white spotted tips, his tail matching the base color of his years. All he wanted was to live in a loving home like Jins'.

"Yoongi, you'll find a place someday. You never know, maybe my love will allowed you to come live permanently. Until then, we just need to focus on you finding a home." Jin spoke, a small smile on his face, his hand rubbing on the edge of the boys ear. "Come on, let's head to mg place and we can get you cleaned up and fed."

Yoongi gave a simple nod and sighed, standing up and brushing himself off, following the taller. "Can we have chicken for dinner? That's all I crave." He was answered by a chuckle from his friend, Yoongi an ears twitched, flicking back at that.

The pair walked enjoying the changing of colors of the sky, walking to Jins shared home, following the streets as the lights started coming on.

Once the pair arrived, they entered the home to be greeted by the elders lover. A tall, slender man. He had glasses on, fluffy brown hair and a welcoming smile as he greeted them.

"Hey Yoongi, hey love. Glad to see you're two safe, are you cooking tonight?" He spoke, this was Namjoon. God for bid this man cook, but he was talented and worked in other ways. Jin was the sole cook of the house.
