Everyone stops what they're doing, including the hybrids, as we sit up and aim our attention on the tall, limp body laying in the doorway.

Hobi sniffs the air and then lets out a whine.

"What... don't tell me he's dead." Jimin's eyes widen.

"I didn't know you were still wearing your collar, Taehyung." Jimin mutters, hearing the sound of metal clanking against itself just like how Taehyung's chain leash sounds.

And in that moment,

he knew

he fucked up.

"Oh shit, that's not your leash, that's- "

"-KEYS!" I finish his sentence and we all sit up but it's too late.

"SURPRISE! I'm home early!" My brother announces as he's trying to get the keys from out of the doorknob and that's when he looks up.

His expression turns to shock as he looks from me to the giant feral panther that's growling, to

the huge tiger that's hissing while standing over Jimin, to the small golden retriever that's panting and humping a pillow on the couch.

"Jin- I can expla- " I try to say but he just-

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

He screams, his hands cupping his cheeks dramatically and then he falls, passed out and crumpled in the doorway.

Hobi sniffs the air and then lets out a whine.

"What... don't tell me he's dead." Jimin sighs.

"He's just dramatic and uh, may have not known that there was more than one hybrid here. He probably thought we were about to get mauled to death in all honesty." I run a hand through my hair, sobering up fast and Jungkook is suddenly walking out from down the hall, now in his human form.

"I would love to eat you sometime." He runs his human tongue up my neck, licking just like how he did in his animal form and my face heats up, surprisingly not grossed out.

"Tell your dick to stay down because we have worse problems." I slap his shoulder playfully.

"JUNG HOSEOK! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT HUMPING?!" Jimin chases after the dog that's running away with my couch pillow in his mouth to a corner of the room that Jimin can't fit in.

"OKAY! HUMAN FORMS. NOW." I point at the dog in the corner and then to the tiger who's chewing my plant near the window.

"Seokjin?! Shit- what ha- "

My eyes widen and look around the room to where that voice came from. A new voice that's definitely not Hobi's since he's just turned back into his human form, a blanket covering him as he pleads for Jimin's help since he transformed while still in the corner behind chairs. I then look to Taehyung next but slap a hand over my eyes.

"Damn, Taehyung's hung." Jungkook stares at the naked man who's literally just standing in the living room shamelessly while fiddling with his fingers, distracted.

Oh yeah, Jin

I hop off of the counter in an instant and huff it over to the door but a scream leaves my throat.

"AHHHHHHHHH WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?! GET OFF OF MY BROTHER!" I holler at the random man and toss one of Jungkook's combat boots at him, supplying myself with shoes for backup attacks if needed.

"AHHHHH STOP! WHO- WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!" The man with the deep voice that I heard earlier widens his eyes while spotting the naked man, a shirtless tattooed guy behind me picking up shoes I threw and a small man yanking a naked guy out from behind chairs.

Finally, the commotion pauses as all three of the hybrids perk up and start sniffing the air.

"WOLF!" They all say in unison and bolt to the front door, knocking me and Jimin over in the process and they bare their sharp canines at the hybrid in the doorway, ears back and ready to attack.

"DON'T KILL HIM! We can't have TWO dead bodies!" I stumble in front of all three hybrids and shove them back a bit.

"Who are you and why are you trying to kidnap my possibly dead brother?" I furrow my brow and put on a mean expression so that he knows I'm a threat to not mess with.

"I'm Jin's good friend that's not his boyfriend yet but will be in a few chapters, and who are these guys?" He crosses his arms, eyes fixated on the tall three behind me as Jimin runs up next to me.

"A wolf hybrid? Why are you here?" Jimin asks sweetly as if we weren't just about to tackle the man and we continue talking as if my brother's -not moving body- isn't just lying halfway inside the doorway.

"I'm Kim Y/n, Seokjin's younger sister and these guys," I point from left to right, naming them each as I go, "are Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, and Jung Hoseok. These two," I point to both Tae and Hobi, "are tiger and golden retriever hybrids who are mates of Jimin." I slap a hand onto Jimin's shoulder who's standing next to me, smiling.

(A visual representation for good measure.)

"Hello, I'm Park Jimin!" He waves a hand bubbly and I slap his hand down.

"This one," I point to Jungkook who is directly behind me, his hands on my shoulders protectively, "is a panther hybrid and my mate." I finish and Jungkook lets out a low growl to show that he means business.

"Now, explain yourself you creepy kidnapper." I cross my arms.

"He's not creepy though, he actually has cute dimples- " Jimin whispers to me but I elbow him.

The man scoffs but nods, "I apologize, I'm sure I must've come off as a threat. My name is- "

"KIM NAMJOON! WHERE AM I, WHY WAS THERE A JUNGLE IN MY HOUSE?!" Jin bursts out in shock, completely awake all of a sudden.

"Jin!" I gasp and crouch down, helping him stand up, "Wait, so you do know who this is?" I raise a brow and stare down the tall, buff wolf hybrid who's smiling kindly to me, his dimples showing as he softly pockets his fists into his Earth green sweater that has sunflowers on it.

(🥺😔🤜🏻)

"Namjoon is my friend from college, I came home early to surprise you and he came along too since we plan to start to clinic together." My brother's friend smiles to me and then to the pack of half naked men behind me.

"And who are- Jungkook? JEON JUNGKOOK?!" Jin hollers as he recognizes the man who had went missing years ago who he hadn't seen since then and the nipple piercings and tattoos definitely helped in Jin collapsing for a second time, the wolf hybrid catching him just in time.

"Let's just... get him inside first and we can explain later." I sigh, "And go put some clothes on!" I shoo the boys away as I help Namjoon carry my giant ass brother into the house and over to the couch.
