There are some difficult words in this chapter. You can either look them up, or wait to read the information at the end of the chapter like the first Namjoon and Jimin short. There will also be some slight mature context which will be warned by a bold underlined text. It isn't sex.

[|Save A Neko's Life...|JinHope|]

"Daddy's going to be a neko!"

[\|<>|/]

There was a time... A day, a second - where everything was different.

For Seokjin, it was.

°•●•°

"SHIT!" Seokjin's father yelled out after a long night on the boat.

Seokjin had woken up by a shake, a wild shake of the boat. In his pajamas, he ran out onto the deck, yelling out to his father.

"Dad... We're going right towards a storm!" He yells. "We have to steer!"

"No! Seokjin, get back in here and wait it out!"

"No! Dad-"

"SEOKJIN!"

And that's the last Seokjin saw of his father when the boat was hit by a stormy wave of water, causing Seokjin to go with it and hit a rock in the depth.

°•●•°

Seokjin waves up with a deep sigh after getting used to the light. He's in his room, a soft weight against his body.

His husband...

The orange-haired neko smiles when he sees Seokjin awake.

"Morning..." He whispers.

"Good morning." Seokjin chuckles. "You know you don't have to wait for me to wake up."

"But I like staying next to you." Hoseok giggles. "Come on, I'll set up a cup of tea. Don't let it get cold."

Seokjin pecks Hoseok's soft lips before the neko gets up and walks out of their bedroom.

The moment Hoseok's out, a small cute neko boy runs inside. His son. Seokjin lets out a loud huff when the boy lands on his legs after a leap of faith.

"Daddy!" The cute neko boy smiles.

Hoseok crosses his arms with a soft giggle and a smile. "Jimin! He just woke up!"

"But I wanna say good morning to daddy!"

"And now you did, so let him get out of bed." Hoseok smiles, tail softly swaying.

Jimin pouts, but hops off Seokjin's legs and runs towards the kitchen. Hoseok gives his husband a sweet smile before following the little orange-haired neko.

Seokjin takes a few minutes before he sits up. He rubs his hands over his face when he notices a very dark brown tail, about the color of his hair.

"Since when...?"

"Seokjinnie!"

Seokjin looks up when he hears Hoseok yell. He quickly puts on a tank top and some comfortable jeans over his boxers, careful not to hurt his tail and leaving them just below his very own neko tail.

He can't really remember how or when he got it.

He places a black beanie over his head, hiding his bad-hair day.

He quickly rushes to the kitchen, where he smiles at his son who is already eating his pancakes.

Jimin is one of the half-breeds on the island. He's the only half-breed. Little Jimin was born when Seokjin was fully human.

Not even Namjoon knows what causes the sudden transformation.

Every day after breakfast, Seokjin goes to Namjoon in town to talk about this sudden change.

He smiles and pecks his son's cheek, who giggles happily. After that, Seokjin walks up to Hoseok behind the kitchen counter, hugging the neko from behind.

He smiles at him and pecks his cheek as well, rubbing up and down on his waist. "It always smells so good when you cook."

"Stop it!" Hoseok giggles. "You're going to make me blush!"

Seokjin chuckles. "But I love making you blush. You always look so shy and so cute. So beautiful."

Hoseok smiles and turns around, giving Seokjin a passionate loving kiss.

"Eeeew!" Jimin giggles and points.

"Jimin, you're fifteen," Seokjin chuckles. "You kissed nekos too."

Jimin blushes and smiles. "Yeah..."

Hoseok smiles. "Drink your tea and eat your breakfast."

Seokjin nods and sits down at the table, eating his breakfast and quickly giving his husband and son a kiss before he throws on his jacket and walks through the neighborhood to the city.

Other nekos know of his strange arrival, and as promised every morning, Namjoon is sitting at the cafe with a hot cup of coffee.

The two share a smile and Seokjin sits with him. "Good morning, Namjoon."

"Good morning, Seokjin!" Namjoon smiles.

"Any information?" Seokjin asks softly, tail swaying back and forth softly.

Namjoon sighs and nods. "I did some research... There has never been a human on this island before. I had some connections with some others, took the boat to the island with the werewolves," Namjoon shivers. "One of them - a scientist - told me that you could be sick."

Seokjin tilts his head. "Sick?"

Namjoon nods. "I asked for some more information. They had more encounters like this. I exchanged contacts with him and he's agreed to come by."

"What time?"

"He's agreed to meet here." Namjoon mumbles. "I just haven't seen him yet..."

Both of them look up when they hear nekos gasp. There's a low growl coming from the newcomer.

"Fuck's sake..." His voice growls. "And I thought our island was one hell of a dog shelter."

"Ah! You're here!" Namjoon smiles.

The black-haired werewolf growls and sits down with a huff. "Yeah. You have to start organizing your island. I got bitten by a crab."

"They're harmless!"

"They bit my fucking toe!" The werewolf snarls.

Namjoon pouts and crosses his arms, ears twitching back. "I thought you were a scientist."

"I'm a biologist." The werewolf corrects and points at Seokjin. "Your friend?"

Namjoon nods. "Seokjin, this is Yoongi. Yoongi, this is Seokjin."

Seokjin bows politely, and Yoongi gives him a friendly nod.

"Are you comfortable doing this in public or not? I'm going to have to inspect you. Like... thoroughly."

Seokjin shakes his head. "Let me show you to my home and we'll continue there. Thank you Namjoon."

"Anytime! Come by for coffee again tomorrow!"

Yoongi's ears twitch. "Coffee? What's that?"

Namjoon gasps loudly. "YOU DON'T HAVE COFFEE?!"

Yoongi shakes his head. "We are usually hydrating by ourselves, through our hands or tongue."

"But this isn't hydration, this is caffeine. It keeps you awake!"

Yoongi's ears perk up. "Show me some time."

Seokjin chuckles as he leads Yoongi back to his house, where he gives Hoseok a kiss, as well as Jimin, who immediately hides behind Hoseok when he sees Yoongi.

"Hey, Jimin! Where is-"

"WOLF!"

Jimin's two friends yell, and Yoongi rolls his eyes. "Pups are much better."

Jimin peeks from behind Hoseok with a pout and hisses at him, making the werewolf chuckle.

"Sweetheart, I'm locking the door to our room, okay? This is Yoongi, he's here to help us figure this strange transformation out."

Hoseok nods. "Please, be careful with my husband."

"I may hate nekos and cats, but I am never capable of hurting someone." Yoongi smiles. "Even if he is my patient, and he may be a neko, I'll treat him, you and your family with respect and care."

Hoseok smiles. "Thank you."

Seokjin shows Yoongi his room and locks the door. Immediately Yoongi grabs a pair of rubber gloves and puts them on, a serious gaze on his face.

"Some parts of this examination may cross boundaries. Just tell me and I'll stop." Yoongi says.

"I trust you." Seokjin mumbles.

Yoongi nods. "I need you get naked, or at least get down to minimum clothing."

"For?"

"Don't question me."

Seokjin quickly pulls off his tank top and jeans, with hesitation taking off his beanie. He leaves his boxers on.

Yoongi gives him a comforting smile and observes the male, watching how his tail moves and how his body is built.

"Right away I can see that your body has begun to shape more of a neko, mostly male, which makes sense." Yoongi says, hesitantly taking a closer look at his chest.

"Little texture, smooth skin, soft..." Yoongi lists to himself.

Seokjin gulps nervously when Yoongi observes his face.

"I thought I saw something..." Yoongi mumbles. "Your eye color and pupil shape..."

Seokjin tilts his head. "What's with them?"

"They're those of a neko." Yoongi grins. "Cat-like pupils, little wider like a neko's, small iris and bright colorful brown eyes. Turn around and let me see your tail."

Seokjin gulps, but does as told. He flinches when Yoongi takes a hold of his tail, gently caressing and pulling it. Seokjin bites his lip, legs shaking.

"I may have a conclusion, but I have one test which could be crucial. This can and will go over your boundaries since you have a husband."

Seokjin turns back around. "What is it?"

"I think you aren't sick. This happened before on our island. You're simply adapting to your new transformation and body. However, there have to be changed in your body, specifically your nose and genitals."

Seokjin's eyes widen. "W-what?!"

"I'm going to have to examine your prostate, penis, and slick glands."

"S-slick?!"

"It's all part of being a neko. Imagine what your husband has to go through every heat." Yoongi grumbles. "You can blindfold yourself, anything. I have to do this if you need a full trusty result."

Seokjin sighs. "Let me talk to Hoseok about this..."

Yoongi nods and hands Seokjin his sweatpants, who puts them on and unlocks the door.

Yoongi waits patiently, and after a few minutes, Seokjin comes back with Hoseok, who gives him a soft smile.

"I approve, on one condition."

"Go on."

"You will not attempt to touch or please him in any way! He is still my husband!"

"I only try to figure out what your husband is. I am not trying to please him, I'm trying to do my job." Yoongi replies. "I assure you, nothing will happen. It's just a text to see if his hormones are still human, transforming, sick, or neko-like. By just a simple examination I can tell if he is sick."

"Than I approve." Hoseok says softly.

Seokjin smiles and kisses his cheek. "I'll be okay. You go and watch Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. Okay?"

Hoseok nods. "Careful, alright?"

Seokjin nods and locks the door behind Hoseok when he leaves.

Yoongi smiles reassuringly. "Alright. Take off your sweats and boxers and lay on the bed. Do you have a certain place you'd have first?" He asks.

"Just do whatever feels comfortable." Seokjin replies with a soft smile and hesitantly strips down.

Yoongi nods. "Alright, bend over on the bed, and don't be shy. I'm going to start by examining your prostate to see if it's swollen or not. Besides your prostate are your slick glands. I can immediately check those as well."

Seokjin nods and does as instructed, taking a deep breath.

Yoongi pats his back softly. "I'll be gentle and slow. Tell me if something's uncomfortable."

Seokjin nods. He yelps when he feels something wet against his entrance, causing Yoongi to let out a soft chuckle.

"Lubricant. I don't want to hurt you."

Seokjin nods and once again breathes deeply, burying his head in the bedsheets. He gasps and winces when Yoongi slowly pushes in a finger, rubbing up and down the older's back.

"It's okay. I just need two in, okay? A neko needs much more preparation than a human or werewolf, considering their sensitivity."

Seokjin nods quickly and takes a few deep quick breaths. "Go ahead..."

Yoongi carefully slides in a second finger, waiting for Seokjin's consent to move, which he soon got.

Finding the prostate, Yoongi quickly feels around it for any abnormalities. With a smile, he slightly lowers his hand, feeling the soft self-producing slick against his walls.

"Working well." Yoongi says smiling, gently pulling his fingers back out and discarding the dirty glove.

Seokjin bites his lip and whimpers. "It feels so weird..."

"That's completely normal. Usually, the slick glands only activate during heat, which is why is it connected with your testicles and prostate to work your hormones." Yoongi explains. "All I need to do is examine your penis and you're good to go. If it goes to far, remember-"

"I'll tell you." Seokjin smiles. "It's just..."

"An erection is completely normal as well. Of course penetration is something strange, but is still something hormonal that activates your producing system. I had it too when I had my examination." Yoongi winks. "I know how it feels."

Seokjin smiles. "You... won't judge me?"

"I'm a biologist, Seokjin. I have a penis too. Why would I judge someone?"

"I don't know... Privacy?"

Yoongi smiles. "Don't worry. I'm completely neutral."

The words from the biologist comfort Seokjin in a somewhat strange way as he turns on his back, looking up at the ceiling to avoid eye contact.

He gasps when Yoongi gently takes one of testicles in his hand, and then the other, examining them, before going to the main deal.

Seokjin bites his lip when Yoongi gets to work, at first observing him, before feeling around. After only a few seconds, Yoongi already retreats his hand with a smile.

"Done."

Seokjin quickly rushes to his drawer and picks out a pair of boxers, hiding his dignity. He smiles. "Thank you..."

"You could have said you didn't want that."

"It is all for a better result." Seokjin replies.

Yoongi nods. "And I have my conclusion. Get the family together." He chuckles.

Seokjin quickly slides on his clothes and unlocks the door, ignoring Hoseok's furious blush and kissing him happily.

"The kids?"

"Jimin's room. But fix that before you go." Hoseok giggles.

Seokjin looks down at himself and flushes red. "On second thought... you get the kids..."

Hoseok nods and smiles, putting down his book. "Did it all go well?"

Seokjin nods. "He was very professional and kind."

"He didn't hurt you?"

"Not at all. Just a little uncomfortable."

Yoongi chuckles. "Always is at first."

Hoseok bows to him and goes to get the kids, whilst Seokjin quickly takes care of his problem.

And when everyone is together, the tension cuts through them when Yoongi stares at them.

"I came to the conclusion that is simple. Seokjin is busy to fully transform into a neko. His body is adapting perfectly, he's healthy and in perfect shape. He isn't sick, and most likely won't be for a very long time."

Seokjin smiles. "But... how is this transformation possible?" He asks.

"On my island, humans who stay for longer than a month start to adapt. That includes the transformation as well. I think it's just your body getting used to the life here. With a family, there is nothing to worry about." Yoongi says.

Hoseok sighs in relief. "Thank god..."

"No, thank me."

"Well, thank you, Yoongi."

Yoongi smiles and gives them a friendly nod. "Very well. This is all from me. If there is anything no one can explain here, Namjoon has my number. I'll see you again."

The nekos wave him goodbye, before Yoongi peeks his head back out. "Which way is the dock?"

"Right from here, through the city and then left to the beach." Hoseok points him.

Yoongi smiles before finally disappearing.

There is a short silence in the living room before Jimin happily jumps onto Seokjin's lap.

"Daddy's going to be a neko!" He laughs.

Seokjin just chuckles and smiles. "Daddy's going to be a neko." He repeats.

He looks at Hoseok, who smiles at him. "Let's go. It's afternoon already, which means time for work for me."

Seokjin nods. "I'll visit you later with Taehyung. It's been a while since I've seen that fetu around here."

"And what about Jimin?" Hoseok asks, crossing his arms. "He can't take care of himself yet, and honestly, I don't trust Tae near him, but I can't take him to work."

Jungkook shyly raises his arm. "We can stay at my place. My mom is home."

"Can I?" Jimin pouts.

Hoseok and Seokjin share a glance, before Hoseok nods. "Alright, but be safe and be home before dinner." He says sternly.

Jimin nods. "I promise!"

Hoseok quickly stands up and urges the kids to the car. "I'll take you, come on."

Seokjin smiles. "Have a nice day, Hoseok."

"Careful with Taehyung. I don't trust him." Hoseok mutters, ears pressed against his scalp.

Seokjin just nods. "He's been my best friend ever since I stranded here, apart from you, my husband." He chuckles. "Plus, it's been quite a while since I visited him on the farm."

Hoseok sighs. "Alright..."

Seokjin pecks his cheek. "I swear, I'll be okay."

With a gentle smile, Hoseok leaves, and Seokjin watches through the window how the younger neko has a bit of trouble getting the three giggling boys in the car.

Seokjin snatches the keys from the kitchen counter and locks the door behind him, he waves Hoseok goodbye and takes a left turn to the farm.

The road towards it isn't too long. It's more the wind that makes him shiver. He can already smell the crops that have been planted, the cows and pigs, and in the distance, Seokjin can see the happy neko bouncing around on the terrain with a small rubber ball.

Taehyung has always been kind of weird. No one judged him for it. Being alone on a farm must do a lot to you when you don't see anyone.

Nonetheless, Seokjin liked hanging around with him. He was a joy to be around and a delight to talk to.

When Seokjin stranded, the first one he met was Hoseok, who then later got into a fight with Taehyung for being so curious to the human. Luckily the fight was quickly over and everything forgiven.

"Jinnie!"

Seokjin snaps out of his thoughts when he hears Taehyung call his nickname, smiling when the neko practically stumbles towards him, tripping over his own feet.

"Hello, Taehyung." Seokjin smiles. "How are you?"

"Much better now that you're here! It's been so long!"

"I know." Seokjin chuckles. "How are the animals?"

Taehyung pouts. "It's a lot more boring to take care of them without a friend. How's Hoseok?"

"He's great! We found out that I'm turning into a neko. I'll become one of you."

Taehyung smiles widely. "That's so cool! You'll finally get your ears! Do you have them already? Let me see!"

Seokjin quickly pulls his beanie further over his head and shakes his head. "No, no... Don't... Don't wanna..." He whines.

Taehyung giggles. "Don't be so shy! Just a peek!"

"I said no! I want that first look to be for my husband!" Seokjin snarls.

Taehyung flinches, ears droopily hanging down. He nods softly. "Sorry..."

"Hey, it's okay. You know I have trouble with accepting the tail, imagine the ears or even whiskers."

"Only me and Jimin have whiskers."

"Doesn't give me no reason not to have them... Who knows? This never happened before on this island..." Seokjin mumbles.

Taehyung nods. "Yeah... Do you want coffee?"

Seokjin shakes his head. "You can join me at the cafe. I wanted to visit Hoseok at work anyway."

"O-oh... No thanks..." Taehyung mumbles. "I'm still not really on good terms with him and I don't want him to think you're cheating!" He says quickly.

Seokjin frowns sadly. "You sure? This could be the time for you two to make up. It was one mistake!"

Taehyung shakes his head. "You know the rule... Save a neko's life and he'll forever be by your side."

"I know. But I love Hoseok for more reasons than that. He saved my life when I stranded, but I truly love him. I'm happy with him as my husband and mother of my child." Seokjin replies. "I swear... I couldn't have wished for someone better."

Taehyung smiles weakly. "I know... You move along now. I'm sure Hoseok misses you."

"Tae-"

"No, really, go. I'll be fine."

Seokjin waits a few seconds, but then turns around when he sees Taehyung walk away from him and leaves. He feels sorry.

Taehyunf had a crush on him for years. He stranded when he was eighteen, and now he's twenty-five. He can still remember the day...

When he woke up, he was coughing water, and a male with orange hair and cat ears leaned over him, asking him if he was okay.

Hoseok was so nice to him. He always has been. Ever since that day, Hoseok and him were together. Seokjin wouldn't want to trade a single moment.

Time strikes by, and Hoseok and Seokjin were already back home. Seokjin had spent hours talking to Hoseok, listening to his lovely voice and hearing him smile and laugh.

"We never were officially married, were we?" Seokjin asks suddenly.

"Not professionally, no." Hoseok answers. "Why?"

Seokjin smiles. "Come outside with me."

Hoseok curiously follows his husband's footprints over the sand just at the beach. The stars hung in the sky and there was a soft breeze that tickled his tail.

"Seokjinnie?"

"Just a bit more, I promise it'll be good."

Hoseok giggles at Seokjin's wide smile. "What are you planning?"

"A wedding. Just the two of us, under the sky full of stars..." Seokjin chuckles and takes Hoseok's hands in his own. "I want to give my life to you forever. Officially. I really love you, not because you saved my life, but because you are you."

Hoseok smiles widely and blushes. "Come on! You always make me blush!"

Seokjin quickly pulls out a small box. "I want to spend my life with you, as a neko."

Hoseok gasps when Seokjin pulls his beanie off, rushing a hand through his wild hair. A wide smile crawls onto his face when he sees the two cute ears popping out under his hands.

"How long..."

"Felt them for a few days... I was nervous." Seokjin mumbles.

"They're beautiful, just like you." Hoseok says sweetly.

"Hoseok, please marry me... Marry me for real and be my one and only." Seokjin begs, eyes closing in fear.

He feels hands crawling on his shoulder. "Seokjin, we're already married."

"But let me... Let me kiss you forever, dance with you forever, watch our child grow... Just..."

"Jinnie, of course you can. And I'll be happy if you do."

"Than can I put this on you too?" Seokjin asks with a soft smile, holding up a ring.

Hoseok nods, immediately kissing back when he feels Seokjin's lips pressed against his own. It's a time of love.

Taehyung watches from afar with a sad smile. "You go, Seokjin..."

He hesitantly returns to the barn and stays there in the hay, watching the night go by. Love is a beautiful thing, but also something terrible. It can cause heartbreak. And right now, Taehyung has enough of it.

Hoseok is the right neko for him. And Taehyung knows it.

And he's happy for them.

With their choice.

[|\THE END/|]

Fetu

A creature or human who has both genitals.
So, explained. Taehyung has both a vagina and a penis.
