Seeing your constant support, patience and encouragement for them and everything that they explored, all of them felt the need to say their 'thank you's. They know that it's never going to be enough to verbally express their gratitude so they always lean in and rub their noses into your neck. It was all instinctual and you may never understand but it's what they knew and the extent of their abilities at that moment in time.

As a result of your research and occupation, you knew exactly what they were attempting to do when nuzzling their faces into your neck hence why you ensure that they receive a brief pet of their hair in addition to a big smile on your face each time they pull away. They continually reciprocate with a grin of their own before returning to their activities.

In respect of their comfort, you avoid their ears when petting them but over time they nudge your hand closer and closer with a tilt of their head until you're finally scratching at the base of their sensitive ears. The bright grin on your face isn't enough to convey how happy it made you feel that they were beginning to trust and be comfortable with you.

Taehyung also sees this and isn't afraid to expresses his delight vocally and physically. There's a lot of flailing limbs and cheers of excitement, he even began purring loudly at the sight of you and another member getting along. This is without being prompted by pets or cuddles, which, you know, are the main two things that can elicit such a reaction from him and just goes to show how elated he is.

It's unfortunate that they can't give back all the gifts and opportunities you gave them so, instead, they swore to themselves to pay you back in little ways until they can finally give you something off their own backs. There was no need for them to feel this way, however, as the look of jubilation on their faces was enough for you - that was all the reward you needed.

As everyone gradually gets busy with their new interests and developing pass-times, you get working on your new book. A lot of research is required for this and you're having to partake in many extended calls with other researchers but, thankfully, your previous culmination of studies still proves useful in providing more content to write for in your new book on hybrids.

These were very busy times, so much so, that you were beginning to yearn for the days of your blissful 'break'. Relaxation wasn't an option for you, seeing as you wanted to meet your self-set deadlines but you were also extra busy with helping your hybrid family settling in.

Not everyone knows how to cook so you're having to cook the majority of meals. You didn't want any of them feeling hungry in any way, making hearty meals a must but required you to move your writing set-up to the kitchen. It isn't an ideal place to be writing in comparison to your writing station. The two areas had very different uses and getting into your mindset for writing proved to be harder when in the kitchen.

To aid you in your struggle, Jin always offers another pair of hands that you never refuse as he appears to have a talent in handling food like a professional chef. And because you're having to cook on a daily basis on the back of other tasks, Jin is the primary witness to your gradual fall into a state of extreme fatigue. He isn't as quick to pick up on it as he doesn't know what specific illness you were beginning to suffer from but he definitely noticed a difference in your scent.

It began with a slight dampening of your natural fragrance, it didn't seem as strong or as vibrant anymore. The pungent smell of chopped vegetables, meat and spices clogged the air as the two of you prepared dinner but he was so hyper-aware of your state that the tall, broad-shouldered male was able to notice the change as soon as it occurred.

He didn't know how to properly describe the distasteful aroma. It just didn't smell healthy. He wanted to believe that it was just a quick phase that you were going through, however, and that you would be back to your vivacious, state all over again within no time at all.
