AU where hybrid traits are dormant and ppl don't know what animal they are until they reach adulthood. They have the chance to remain human, never awakening their animal traits, however if they awaken their traits there's no going back!! They're stuck!! Now there's Seokjinnie, handsome, responsible, reliable, essentially the perfect man, ofc others around him believe without a doubt he'd be destined to become a gentle giant predator hybrid, something big and strong. Seokjinnie himself had been fully confident he'd present as a wolf or something along those lines as well, however he hadn't felt the need to change any aspect of himself, satisfied as a human. His friends go along with awakening their traits first, Joon leading the change with awakening as a Grey wolf and becoming more assured of himself, Yoongi awakening, both surprisingly yet unsurprisingly as a panther (everyone expected he'd become a house cat, but that position went to Jimin), Taehyung grows bigger and more violent, unstable as a giant tiger hybrid (he's the first to be locked up, having become feral after his awakening) and Jungkook, to both Seokjin's delight yet horror, shrinks, becoming an adorable cotton-tail hybrid. The competitive and possessive maknae becoming fearful and withdrawn afterwards as a result (viewing this, Seokjinnie absolutely becomes against awakening, he and Hoseok promise each other to remain human to look after the others, except Seokjinnie doesn’t realize Hoseok yearns to awaken, too. He sees the way Joon and Yoongi positively glow as predators, thriving, and he wants that too. He fully believes that's in the cards for him, too. Now, Seokjinnie has been looking after the maknaes all by himself, reassuring JK and Jimin that there's nothing wrong with their newfound softness but they resent him for it. He doesn't understand them, not anymore, they say. So he ends up spending most of his time with Tae who's become 95% feral and only recognizes Seokjin's face and touch. Tae, despite his massive size and violent behavior, becomes like a kitten under Seokjin's palm, purring and scenting his hyung at every opportunity. Seokjinnie tries to encourage him to see the others, but Taehyung resolutely refuses, all big tiger claws and fangs and rage the second anyone else gets close. At a loss, Seokjin sighs as he leaves Taehyung's enclosure one night, only to find Jikook and Hoseok in front of him with venomous grins..Hoseok had become a predator snake hybrid and in his hand, he held the injection to awaken Seokjin!!!! Seokjin panics and protests as much as he can, and the commotion caused for Taehyung to wake up and begin roaring from his cage, but Jikook hold Seokjin steady as Hoseok forcibly injects him and then pushes him back into the tiger's enclosure!!!!!! [Can you guess what Seokjinnie becomes?? 👀]
