Experiment 360

15-Discussion

"One day tae was ...gone, my father said he found him a job that would benefit not only tae but himself greatly...and I guess that job was the institution" hearing him say those words broke something in you, it was odd for someone to say that who wasn't hunting you down. It was odd for it to be used so casually.

"Oh...." was your response, what would you say? Jimin just poured out his past, a pretty difficult one.

You felt something weird, you felt pity....for taehyung. No wonder he turned out so screwed up. His life was one never ending cycle of pain.

You were disgusted by your thoughts but, maybe it compensated for his insanity....maybe.

You still had questions though...what did jimins father want with the institution...what did he want with you?

You both sat for minutes maybe hours, it was hard to tell. Each absorbing the information the other poured out in such small amounts of time.

"S-so th-there are others like you" he asked a sort of twinging pain revealed on the surface of his face.

"S-sort of...I guess I wasn't too specific..." you laughed nervously, you didn't want to go into detail, you worried that he couldn't handle it or maybe...you couldn't handle it either.

"The others are just hybrids, they have certain animalistic features b-but I'm a complete hybrid, it means I can shift into a full mutated animal form or my human form" you spoke with uncomfortableness and awkwardness.

"If you don't mind me asking h-how exactly did they...uh....d-do this to you?" The exact question you wanted to avoid.

"W-ways....the most effective w-was torture. They bring your body as close to death as it can get without actually dying and hope you react and change" the words rolled off your tongue with an odd ease as if you'd already accepted yourself, as if it was just a part of your past.

But you knew it would stay with you, through your present and your future.

Jimins face twinged with fear, fear of what he was about to ask, "T-Taehyung?...."

You looked into his eyes and looked down not bearing to see him, "y-yes....and Jae-hwa"

You could hear him breath out in something like shock, but he had already known the answer, he was just hoping he was wrong.

"....uh let's talk about nicer things. Um well we don't really know each other so we could start off there" he let out with great difficulty.

"Oh okay, well I'm 20 um I am or um was going to be an art teacher. Uh I like nights over mornings and enjoy reruns of the office and snacks, lots of them" yeah he's really gonna like you now y/n, you just described the most boring human on the planet.

Your face went red at your own thoughts, what do you care whether or not he likes you it's not like you liked him, you don't have room for emotions like that, you don't have room to care for anyone but yourself.

"I'm jimin, I'm 23, I own a coffee shop, I enjoy both mornings and nights and I like meeting new and interesting people"

You both stared at each other processing this overwhelmingly dry information and conversation.

You both bathed in the awkward silence.

"So...were you there that night...well the first night you were here....um you didn't hear anything. Because that would be really awkward..." you both blushed, and you realized that jimin was a terrible conversationalist. He coughed in realization of his odd and out of place question.

And then it hit you, "t-the first night....w-when y-you walked in um-person in your room-uh yeah" your face flushed bright red.

"Oh god....yeah um I'm sorry but just so you k-know nothing really happened...." oh god oh god oh god oh god.

"Hahah y-yeah I-I k-now it's...you know upset about um....parents not meeting parents yeah." You stuttered through your words, speaking when anything came to mind, you had no filter when it came to stuff like this.

"Oh uh yeah...how did you know about that?" Jimins eyes were confused and slightly accusatory.

"Um well you see-I uh-it's a funny story um..."

"You have special hearing ab-" "it was me that night I didn't mean to but-".

Your faces both went red...special hearing abilities....WHY THE %#*€ DIDNT YOU THINK OF THAT!!!!!! he's gonna think you're a weird psycho.

"T-that was you" you dropped your head down and nodded your head guiltily

"N-not Jae hwa" you solemnly nodded your head once again.

"Oh god...sorry-for that um whole thing....let's not talk about that....ever" you let out in exasperation

"That...sort of makes sense n-now" you looked up and realized his face was as red as yours and though it wasn't obvious, there was a small smirk plastered on his face.

"I wonder what that's about?"
