Seoul had laws. Of course they did. One of their newer laws was that hybrids were legally Korean citizens. Hybrids celebrated- some other people also, but there was also the majority of Seoul who protested. Later, another law came out. Hybrids were to cover their tails and ears and anything else unnatural.

Then, as years passed, some people forgot that hybrids existed. The people who still remember- well...

"Get out of here, filthy mutt," a little boy knocked another boy onto the ground, making his beanie fall off his head to reveal his fluffy puppy ears. "My mommy said that people like you are disgusting and shouldn't even exist!"

The dog-hybrid-boy's bottom lip trembled as he sniffled, tears making his eyes blurry.

And the first little boy scoffed, crossing his arms as his big brother came up. The older brother of the bully had a smile that twisted into a sneer.

"Get away from him, Jaehyo. He might spread his ticks and rabies towards you," the elder hissed, grabbing his brother's hand and walking off.

In the end-like always- the little puppy hybrid was left alone. His mother was running late, yet again. The worst part is that is started raining. It left the little one to sit under a box with teary eyes. Cold bit into his skin after it seeped into his clothes.

It seemed like that was what happened for years. Even in high-school.

"Look at this, dude. Thought they didn't exist anymore," a man laughed into Taehyung's face. This time, Taehyung was walking to the store when a heavy wind took his hat. The dog hybrid tried to chase after it- which was unsuccessful, for the wind took it into an ally way and into someone's window.

"Because they're rare! How much do you think he's worth?" The friend came up, examining the poor hybrid, whose ears were pressed flat against his head in fear.

"Hmm... well... we could sell him..." the man looked over at his friend. "Or-"

"G- Get- get away f- from me- me," Taehyung growled- canines bared slightly. He was fumbling to get his phone out, but his shivering deemed to much.

"Aw. Is the little pup cold? Well... we could always warm you up~" the harasser's friend purred. He probably thought he was sexy or somethin', but Taehyung wasn't impressed. Not at all.

"Yah, which one of you scum bags threw this stupid hat?" A teenage boy stomped out of his apartment. He had dark brown hair, eyes dark and swirling with anger. The man was shirtless, chest and arms littered with tattoos.

"This mutt," one of the scums pointed to Taehyung, who was still curled into the corner with whimpers coming from his rosy lips.

"I- it was t- the- the wind," Taehyung muffled out, hopefully loud enough for the owner of the apartment to hear.

The apartment owner looked at him, holding the black beanie. He observed Taehyung's yellow uniform, ruffled dirty blonde hair with floppy dog ears pressing back in fear. His dark eyes were watered with tears and his lips were rosy from his teeth biting into them and from the cold.

The man full of tattoos slowly walked down the metal stairs and onto the snowy ground.

"Why don't you go inside? Isn't it cold, little boy?" One of the men holding Taehyung looked towards him.

"Whatever. Shouldn't you be going to your funeral, old man?"

"Go on, kid. Run back to your little mommy and let us handle our little mutt," the other man's hand paused on his thigh, close to the zipper.

Taehyung let out a whimper, trying to disappear in the shadows as a tear finally slipped down his cheek. It was warm, then became freezing cold.

"Let him go," the younger boy scoffed, crossing his arms. "Seriously. Rape is not cool. And like- so old-school."

"Who said anything about rape?"

Taehyung whimpered again, soft hiccups involuntarily coming out as more tears started swelling and falling down his cheeks.

"G- go! L- lea- leave," Taehyung cried. "At least le- let me f- f- freeze first."

All the man did was walk closer, dragging the older men off Taehyung, then wrapped Taehyung into his arms and picked him up.

"No! L- let me go!" Taehyung froze up for a moment, then flailed and thrashed. "I dont- I don't want it!"

"Shut up, pabo," the younger man whispered.

But Taehyung didn't hush. He kept crying and trying to get out of his arms, fat tears rolling down his cheeks, never stopping.

When they got up to the apartment door, Jungkook set Taehyung down, tilting his head.

"Hybrid?"

Taehyung stiffened before shaking more violently, more tears streaming down his already tear streaked face.

The boy tsked, opening the black beanie and fitting it on Taehyung's head, putting his ears inside the snuggly warm hat.

Dedicated to Zynnami. The person who came up with the idea of this book.

It is my first Boy x boy book... so pardon me if I screw up slightly in something..

Plus I am hoping to add some smut here and there. (It'll be bad! Lol)

I'll also try to make longer chapters and I'll be editing them later.
