《Hybrids | BTS FF》Chapter Forty-Two

"Now you know our full stories, would you care to share yours?" Jin asks with a small smile. I look up at him, reciprocating his smile as I ask him, "what'd you like to know?"
"Why'd you continue with the HPS after you were attacked?"
"I had dreams growing up which put me off the idea of ever running my grandparents business. I'd always wanted to become a fashion designer, not a carer. When my grandparents passed, my parents took over the original HPS building, continuing it in their name.
I decided to build a new HPS after the other had closed because I wanted to do something for myself. After the attack, I realised that not all hybrids were bad, weirdly enough. I guess it was Solar who helped me find who I was because she saved me that night. She helped me to not lose myself...
I can't take all the credit because it was a joint effort between a big group of friends who just wanted people to come together and protect, heal, save."
"What about your dream for fashion designing?" Tae asks, confused. "Did you just abandon that dream?"
Sighing, I relax further back into my seat. "For the first few years, I took it up as a hobby. Every now and then I'd make clothes and blankets for the babies or children because that was what I was best at. I had to learn to do adult clothes because they were bigger and I was only really good at the smaller stuff because I didn't manage to finish my course. I don't regret changing my dreams for the HPS because I got to save lives everyday and see them flourish."
"What did your parents say?"
The question sparks sadness within me. My face falls down; smile drooping, eyes losing colour. "My parents didn't live long enough to know of my career change. I lost them at a pretty young age and I had to learn everything about hybrids from scratch...it was a hard thing to do, but I managed it with the right help."

"Do you regret anything?"
I looked over to Jimin who was practically curled over Yoongi's lap. "I don't regret a thing," I murmur softly with a gentle smile. "You have to experience different things and learn from them to become a better you. It can take a while, but you'll eventually get there. I know that I still have a lot to work out but I feel that with the right people around me, I'll be able to conquer anything."
"D-Do you regret taking us back?" Kook asks shyly.
"I'm not gonna lie...It hurt me a lot, the way you guys treated me. As soon as I saw you guys for the first time, I felt a connection that I just couldn't explain. It took some therapy to figure it out but it became too late. You ended up leaving me and I felt unwanted. It was a horrible feeling that really kicked me down. Bringing you guys back into my life has me scared...I don't want to be abandoned again or lose you for good. I felt happier when I saw you in bed with me this morning because it filled me with relief...relief that you hadn't left me and that I wasn't so alone anymore. I'm hoping that we can stay together and not be broken apart because of our pasts. I'm not telling you to forget them or to just suddenly like every human you meet. I'm just asking that you give us a go and that you can try to view some things more differently than you used to."
"A fresh start?" Yoongi asks curiously.
"Sort of, yes. We can begin again, together. Learn to love, together. Heal, together."

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
