Jimin

It was noisy in his house that day, too noisy.

Jimin disliked such events, but he couldn't refuse—his birthday always turned into another demonstration of power and wealth, a gathering of influential people who benefited from being in his circle. He silently accepted congratulations, nodding in response to the obligatory smiles, allowing toasts to be raised in his honor, though none of this interested him.

And then, as the evening was drawing to a close, there he was – Min Youngji, one of his closest business partners, known for his extravagant gestures.

I think you will like this gift. he said with a grin, snapping his fingers.

Two guards carried a large cage covered with a dark cloth into the room. Silence fell over the room. Jimin slowly rose from his chair, watching impassively as the cloth slipped away, revealing its contents.

Inside, curled up on the soft surface, sat a hybrid girl.

Her cat ears twitched nervously, her tail curled around her slender legs. She was thin, with long, tangled hair and a wary gaze from her large, faintly glowing eyes. In the dim light, her pupils were dilated—a mixture of fear and distrust.

She is rare Yonji noted, clearly enjoying the effect. A purebred with excellent reflexes. A real beauty, you're lucky.

Jimin remained silent, studying the hybrid.

Jimin looked at him coldly, then turned his gaze to the girl. She stared straight at him, her eyes fixed on his, as if trying to figure out who she was with.

Take her to my room , he said briefly.

Jimin turned and left the room, amid the guests' surprised glances. He didn't even ask any questions.

Chapter 1

It was noisy in his house that day, too noisy.

Jimin didn't like such events, but it was impossible to refuse - his birthday always turned into another demonstration of power and wealth, a gathering of influential people who benefited from being in his circle. He silently accepted congratulations, nodding in response to the usual smiles, allowed toasts to be raised in his honor, although he was not interested in all this.

And then, as the evening was drawing to a close, there he was - Min Youngji, one of his closest business partners, known for his extravagant gestures.

“I think you’ll like this gift,” he said with a grin, snapping his fingers.

Two guards brought a large cage covered with a dark cloth into the room. Silence fell over the room. Jimin slowly rose from his chair, watching impassively as the cloth slipped away, revealing the contents.

Inside, curled up on the soft surface, sat a hybrid girl.

The cat's ears twitched nervously, and her tail curled around her thin legs. She was thin, with long, tangled hair and a wary look in her large, slightly glowing eyes. In the semi-darkness, her pupils were dilated - a mixture of fear and mistrust.

"She's rare," Yonji noted, clearly enjoying the effect. "Pure-blooded, with excellent reflexes. A real beauty, you're lucky."

Jimin was silent, studying the hybrid.

“Well, are you satisfied?” Min continued, grinning.

Jimin looked at him coldly, then turned his gaze to the girl. She looked straight at him, not looking away, as if trying to figure out who she was with.

“Take her to my room,” he said briefly.

Turning around, Jimin left the hall under the surprised glances of the guests. He didn't even ask any questions.
