Jae walked in her room, shaking out of nervousness. She stopped dead when she saw a familiar man with wolf ears sitting on her floor in a relaxed position, with a thick chain around his neck. He turned his head toward her with a blank expression, ratling the thick chains in the process. The sight of the chains actually made her sick to her stomach. "Well, out of all the humans to be enslaved by, it had to be you, huh?" His demeanor was different now, almost hostile, and cold. Which, of course, was understandable. She had to earn his trust.


She gulped, but strangely it was nice to see a familiar face. She fidgeted with the skirt part of her dress."I...um...Listen, I know the situation isn't ideal...but it's nice to see you again?" she ended it like a question, and the man chuckled. "Whatever. Now that I'm trapped here, I guess I have to call you master. Or is it mistress?" he said mockingly. The words felt like she'd been slapped.


"No, no you don't." Jae said, crossing her arms. She understood why he was being like this, but he didn't know her. If he'd give her a chance, he'd see she wasn't a monster like her father. "What's your name?" she asked. He looked away from her. "Why should I tell you, you'll probably just give me a new name anyways."


Jae was starting to lose her patience, "I just wanted to know the name of the person who saved me before. Maybe I want to return the favor." His head turned towards her and his eyebrow raised questioningly. Jae was standing her ground, but he was very intimidating. They stared at each other for a good minute, Jae noticed his dragon eyes were twinkling. "Namjoon." Jae couldn't help but smile. "It's nice to meet you again, Namjoon. You can call me Jae."


She dug in her dress pocket for the key that was given to her. She walked closer to him and bent down, "Sorry, this will just take a second." She felt herself blushing as she had to get right in his face to unlock the chain. She had noticed that he was handsome before, but being this close, it was almost overwhelming how attractive he was. She saw him looking at her while fiddling with the lock. She felt her cheeks heat up and decided to ignore it. There was a small click, and Namjoon was chain free. He stood up and rolled his neck and she heard a lot of cracks.


She completely forgot what she was wearing. "Oh um..." she pulled her hand away. "Do you mind if I change real fast? I'm not sure how helpful I'd be to you wearing this." she said as she gestured to the dress. He nodded, "Then, I'll wait here.." he said, looking around. "Okay, I'll try to be fast, um, you can sit anywhere you want." She hurried and ran into her walk-in closet and grabbed some jeans, a light t-shirt and some sneakers. On her way to the bathroom, she saw him looking at the picture on her desk.


"Oh...that's me and my friend, Poppy.." It was a picture of them when she was around six. Poppy was a bunny hybrid and her childhood friend. They looked close in the picture, laughing at something unknown behind the camera. "Reminds me of someone I know." he said with a small smile. "Where is-" "She passed." Jae said, harsher than she meant. Namjoon looked at her apologetically and she turned and went to the bathroom to change.


She realized that her adrenaline was rushing through her. She was really about to help a hybrid escape. She couldn't even imagine what her father would say. She'll probably never see the light of day again. She wished she could run away too. She shook her head. No. You can't. She changed and was surprised as she almost bumped into Namjoon right outside the door. He was staring at her with an expression she couldn't quite read, but his eyes bore into hers. "What is it?" she asked, trying not to act flustered. "Are you sure you want to do this? I'm not...I won't...hurt you or anything if you don't..if that's what you're worried about. I know it's a big risk, considering your position.."
