Namjoon's POV
Now 23 years old

It's been a while since I moved out of the abandoned school with Jin.

We moved out around the middle of April of last year. They apparently planned to tear it down months before I first went there in the first place. In order to keep Jin and myself safe, I decided to move out, taking the few books I actually liked with me.

To carry my things, I conveniently found some old backpacks, and they were in good enough condition to use. Jin liked to sit inside of it on top of my books. So with that, we left.

A lot changed in that time.

My eyes changed to a dark blue shade, and I'm less sensitive to touch on my tail and ears. I taught myself almost everything with the books I had, since I obviously couldn't afford to go to school like a normal person. I'm not normal anyway.

I found myself in a very nice city that looked like a nice place to start a new life. First, I have to find a beanie or something to cover my ears. My tail can easily be hidden, so that's no problem.

I searched some alleyway next to a local flower shop, but no luck. I sat down to think where to look next. I was going to check on Jin, but I could hear him sleeping in my bag. A few minutes later was when an employee of the shop found me on his break, and stared at me with surprise.

*Be cool Namjoon. Just stay calm and only answer if he speaks...*

"Who....are you? How did you get here?"

The employee asked in a soft tone, as to not be rude.

I cleared my throat and spoke as clear as possible.

"My name is Namjoon..., Kim Namjoon. I was just resting here from the long time I was searching for a place to live. I'll leave if it bothers anyone..."

I started to walk away.

"No, no! It's ok. I was just surprised to see a hybrid like yourself to be all alone. Usually, all hybrids have owners, but I guess your not one of them right?"

"Yeah...?"

I never knew that people started to accept hybrids now.

All this time, I hid myself from the world, not paying much attention to the new things around me. If only my master could be..., him...

"Well in any case, I'm Park Jimin. It's nice to meet you Joon~"

I was snapped out of my thoughts as I learned the nice man's name.

"Nice to meet you too"

I said, smiling.

"Would you like to come inside and meet my hyung? Maybe I can get you some flowers too, yeah? It's really not a problem, and hyung is really nice!"

I liked the sound of that, so I accepted his offer.

"Sure. Thank you Jimin"

He led me inside and I was very happy, but...

Why am I so..., anxious??

As I was led inside, I felt a familiar aura, but ignored it, thinking it was just my imagination.

"I'll go get him. I'll be right back Joon~"

Jimin informed be, walking away happily.

I nodded in understanding. He has a very sweet personality, mixed with a beautiful smile and an adorable eye smile.

*He's really cute*

I thought to myself, smiling.

I proceeded to look at the flowers around me and their beauty. They were just simply amazing, and very well taken care of.

Jimin soon came back with a broad shouldered, and quite handsome, man who looked like he had just been woken up from a long desired nap. I looked him deep in the face, and my eyes grew wide and my ears twitched.

*J-Jin?!*

"Joon, this is my hyung, Kim Seokjin~!"

Jimin exclaimed with excitement.

Jin opened his eyes wide, sleep far from his thoughts as he took a good look at me.

And she realizing who I was, he started to cry.

"J-Joonie?!"

Jin's POV
Now 26 years old

Namjoon.

He's been the only one on my mind all of these years after that day.

My mom divorced my dad soon after she saw my condition and heard the whole situation. She had no problem with hybrids at all. Like me, she actually thought they were cute.

I chose to live with her instead of my dad, to avoid any more abuse. I don't know what's become of him, but I hope he got what he deserved...

I've already graduated college and moved out of my mom's house, but I still check on her and keep in touch regularly. I've started working at a flower shop in Seoul with my close friend Jimin.

I texted him to ask him to set the shop up before me, since I'm gonna be late.

-

9:07am

Jin: Morning Chim. Can you set up the shop for me? I'm running a little late...

Jimin: Stayed up late again, huh hyung?

Jin: Yeah... Sorry to ask you this so suddenly. I'll try to sleep earlier tonight

Jimin: It's ok hyung. It's no problem. I'll see you soon :3

Jin: Thanks Chim~. I'm on my way! :}

-

I dashed out of my apartment, and make my way to the shop.

I met Jimin in the shop while he was watering some roses.

"Good morning Jin-hyung~"

He giggled at my tired expression.

"Good morning Chim"

I said tiredly.

After a few hours I started nodding off. Jimin noticed around the fifth time.

"Hyung, you should go rest in the back."

"You sure Chim..?"

I asked, yawning.

"Sure. I've got everything covered. Now please go rest hyung..."

"Thank you Chimmy"

So with that, I was knocked out in the small office within the shop.

⚬45 minutes later⚬

"Hyung! Hyung! I want you to meet someone! Wake up!"

Jimin was now shaking me awake.

"Ughhh... Whyyyyyy????"

I whined, mostly annoyed.

"Please hyung. It's the least you can do for me, since I took care of the shop for us. Pleeeeease?"

He was now begging with a cute pout.

Who could resist someone so adorable...?

"Fine... Let's go..."

I gave in, still not fully awake.

Jimin excitedly led me into the shop to introduce me to who I expected to be one of his old friends, but it would be someone I've been looking for forever....

"Joon, this is my hyung, Kim Seokjin!"

*Joon?!*

I snapped out of sleep as soon as the name left his lips.

*It can't be him after all these years! I thought he was.., gone...*

I thought to myself.

I looked at the stranger in the face, and it was.., him... In that moment of realization, I couldn't hold back the tears of happiness and relief that left my eyes.

I finally get to see my dear friend again.

"J-Joonie?!"
