Summary: Yoongi buys a drink from a seemingly innocent old woman, who was secretly a witch. Upon consuming the drink, Yoongi is turned into a one foot tall cat hybrid (a very adorable one at that)

(Note: the last segment or so of this is kind of similar to the elast one shot I published (bts x Jimin - chew toy), but I had written this current one shot forever ago and completely forgot what I'd written, and ended up writing chew toy much more recent. They just happen to follow similar themes, so sorry for possible repetitions!)

Yoongi looked at the glass bottle he was holding in his hand.

He had just gotten back from the studio, at six in the morning before the sun was fully up, but was stopped before he could get into the dorms by an elderly woman.

She was wheeling a small drink shop behind her, similar to ones Yoongi's seen before.

A vendor.

The woman had kind eyes, and she reminded Yoongi of his own grandmother. So when she kindly asked if Yoongi would like to buy a juice from her, he had no choice but to accept.

Now, he was looking at the liquid in the bottle.

There was no label on it, and the lid was just a grey plastic twist on lid.

The juice itself was a deep red, with a hue of blue.

He can't remember now what the woman told him it was made of — some sort of berry or something.

He shrugged, and unscrewed the lid.

He smelled it, and it smelled sweet.

He tipped it back into his mouth, taking a small sip at first to assess whether he liked it or not.

It tasted sweet, and it was definitely a berry. But Yoongi couldn't place which one.

He tipped it back again, this time taking multiple gulps of it.

He looked at the bottle again, seeing half of it was gone.

He pursed his lips. He would have to hunt down that woman to get a few more of these juices.

He downed the rest of the juice, then left the empty bottle on his dresser top, which he would throw away later.

But now, sleep.

~

Yoongi woke up hours later, at noon. He stretched and yawned, not bothering to open his eyes just yet.

He layed there for awhile, letting his body wake up and become aware of itself. He didn't have anything to do today, thank God. Neither did the others.

They were free for now, until their next comeback.

But suddenly, Yoongi was startled when something brushed against his leg.

He was still too tired to care too much, so he just moved his leg under the covers more.

But then, a few minutes later, something soft came down and rested against his leg.

Yoongi opened his eyes, and threw the covers off of himself.

There, on top of his right leg, was a black cat tail.

Where did that come from? Yoongi wondered.

Then, he realized with dread that the cat tail was attached to his body.

He swished it, as if it was another arm of another leg.

And he swished it again.

He suddenly realized with a much bigger amount of dread, that he was small.

He probably wasn't even a foot tall anymore.

He peaked over the side of his bed, and noticed that now it seemed like a very far down drop to the floor.

He carefully climbed around so that he was dangling over the edge of his bed, and let go of the sheets he was fisting, landing on the floor hard.

It caused him to fall in his butt, before he tipped backward and hit his head on the ground.

Yoongi grumbled, and reached up to rub his head.

He stopped short, however, when he realized he was not only a foot tall and with a tail, but he also had cat ears, too.

He felt for where actual human ears go, and sighed in relief when he still felt them.

He stood up, and began to panic when he looked at his door, realizing it would be extremely difficult to get out of his room, since the doorknob was multiple feet above him now.

He ran to the door, being surprised by his speed, and tried to jump up to reach the doorknob.

He failed, of course, but then he heard footsteps from the other side of the door.

Someone else was awake, and it sounded like they just left their room.

Yoongi, having no idea how else to get out of his room, began pounding his fists on the door.

He heard the formerly distancing footsteps halt, before they started to approach.

"Help!" Yoongi yelled, banging on the door still.

"Yoongi?" Came the sound of Namjoon's voice, right outside of his door, before the younger one knocked on his door.

"Open the door, Namjoon-ah!" Yoongi pleaded.

Namjoon opened the door, and Yoongi, who was leaning against it to knock, fell forward as the door swung out into the hall.

He landed on his face, and then quickly righted himself.

He looked up at a very tall Namjoon.

Namjoon stared down at Yoongi, utter shock apparent on his face.

"Y-Yoongi?" The younger said again, leaning down to get a better look at the older.

"I don't know what happened!"  Yoongi whined.

"U-Uhm, can I pick you up?" Namjoon asked.

Yoongi nodded, holding his arms up toward his leader.

Namjoon picked Yoongi up from under his armpits, and his hands were scarily big now.

Yoongi was lifted up and then cradled into the crook of Namjoon's arm like an infant, and it made him blush.

"Woah!" Namjoon said, "your...um, ears! They moved!"

"Uh?" Yoongi asked, confused.

"They moved again!" Namjoon grinned.

Yoongi could feel his ears now. He could feel the way they flattened down to his head.

"Uh, hyung, what happened?" Namjoon asked.

"I don't know," Yoongi said, honestly, "I woke up and I was...a cat? But I'm only half a cat?"

"You're so small and cute now, hyung!" Namjoon squealed, pinching Yoongi's cheek affectionately.

Yoongi growled, and bopped at Namjoon's hand.

The growl surprised them both.

"I didn't know I could do that, sorry, Joon-ah," Yoongi apologized bashfully.

He moved his tail to his front, and held it in his hands.

Namjoon smiled warmly at him, "it's okay, hyung. Your growl was endearing."

Yoongi hid his face in his hand, and then felt Namjoon walking them somewhere.

"Where are we going?" He asked, suspiciously.

"I'm gonna ask Jin hyung what to do," Namjoon replied.

Namjoon walked them to the living room, and Yoongi saw that most of the others were up already, except for Jimin.

"Hyung?" Namjoon asked, upon entering the living room.

Hobi and Jin looked up at him, but Namjoon still went to Jin.

"What's that, Namu?" Jin asked, curiously, not having a clear view of Yoongi since he was sitting on the couch.

"Um, it's Yoongi," Namjoon replied, awkwardly.

"Huh?" Jin asked, confused.

Namjoon sat between Hobi and Jin, and Yoongi looked bashfully at Jin.

Jin looked shocked, his mouth gaping open.

Taehyung and Jungkook came over to look, too, and all of them were shocked.

"What happened, hyung?" Hobi asked, "are you a cat?"

Yoongi nodded, his ears flattening again.

"Aww hyung, you're so cute!" Taehyung cooed.

Yoongi started to growl again when Taehyung's hand came down to rest on his head, but when the younger started to pet him, a loud pur rumbled out from his chest.

He closed his eyes contentedly, and missed the way the others all looked at him fondly.

"Jimin-ah!" Came the sudden yell from Jin, startling Yoongi and causing his claws to come out.

He hissed, and the others saw that Yoongi's teeth were now tiny, and he had little fangs, too, like an actual cat.

Yoongi, along with the others, were startled by his reaction, and Yoongi blushed again, hiding himself in Namjoon's arms, "sorry, I didn't know that would happen."

Namjoon patted Yoongi on the butt, and Yoongi would usually swat him away, but now that he was a cat he guesses that he's changed, because he pushed his butt out when Namjoon removed his hand.

Namjoon chuckled, and began patting his butt again.

Yoongi's purring started up again, so Taehyung, who had removed his hand when Yoongi got startled, started to pet Yoongi's head again.

Jimin came in just then, having clearly just gotten out of bed.

"We got a kitten, hyung," Jungkook giggled, making Hobi laugh, too.

"Hm?" Jimin asked, sleep still fogging his brain.

He looked passed Taehyung's shoulder, which had been blocking Yoongi, and gasped at the sight of his hyung.

"Yoongi?" He asked, shocked.

"He's a cat now!" Hobi said, helpfully.

"H-How?" Jimin asked.

Everyone looked to Namjoon just then, who looked just as lost, before explaining their brief conversation he'd had with the older.

"I don't know how he could have turned into a cat in his sleep," Hobi said, looking fondly at Yoongi, who was still purring, his tail swishing gently against Namjoon's hand who was patting his butt gently. His ears would sometimes twitch when Taehyung would touch them.

He was turned into Namjoon's chest, so they couldn't see his face, but it was definitely so much softer and squishier now.

"What are those things called?" Jin asked, leaning over to gently rub his hand over Yoongi's leg, "the animals that are also human?"

"Hybrids?" Taehyung and Jimin said at the same time, before hi-fiving each other and mumbling about being soulmates.

"Yeah, maybe he was turned into a cat hybrid," Jungkook grinned, "If I was a hybrid, I'd want to be a bunny hybrid."

The others giggled at Jungkook's cuteness.

"Yoongi?" Jin asked, but got no response.

"Maybe he's asleep, hyung," Namjoon said, "since he's a cat now. Cats love sleeping."

"So does Yoongi," Jin and Hobi said at the same time causing the others to laugh, the two older ones joking about them being soulmates now, too.

"Well I think cat Yoongi is adorable. The fans already call him little meow meow," Jimin said.

"Maybe army turned him into a cat," Taehyung joked, causing Hobi to laugh loudly.

The others shushed him gently, so he covered his mouth to giggle quietly as not to wake up the kitty.

The quietness didn't last, however, because as Jimin got up to go get something from the kitchen, he accidentally brushed an empty mug off the side of the counter as he walked past, causing the mug to fall to the ground with a loud shatter.

Yoongi woke up immediately, his tail fluffing up all big and his ears going back. His eyes dilated, and he could feel his claws come out and dig into Namjoon's chest and shoulder.

He hissed loudly before he became aware of his surroundings, and then blushed deeply when he realized how strongly he'd reacted to a mug falling.

Namjoon also hissed, though his was in a humanly "I'm in pain" type of way.

Yoongi then realized he has his claws sunken into his leaders skin, and his ears flattened to his head as he apologized over and over again, panicking since he didn't know what to do.

"It's okay, Kitten, just retract your claws and you'll be able to move your hands away," Namjoon instructed.

Something warm blossomed in Yoongi's stomach, and spread throughout his whole body when he heard Namjoon call him kitten so casually, as if that's what he was always called.

"I-I don't know how," Yoongi admitted, his lip wobbling as he had his hands stuck in place, fearing that any movement would cause more pain to Namjoon.

"That's okay, I will help you," Namjoon soothed, gently grabbing one of Yoongi's little hands.

He began massaging the tips of Yoongi's fingers, and Yoongi could feel the strain fade away. Soon, he felt his claws retract, and he was able to pull his hand away.

Namjoon did the same on the other hand, and Yoongi was now looking at the blood running down Namjoon's arm and staining his shirt with tears in his eyes.

Becoming a cat hybrid must have made him a lot more emotional.

"Hey," Namjoon said gently, "it's okay, hyung. I'm not mad at you. It doesn't even hurt that much, okay? I'm okay."

Yoongi nodded, and when Namjoon cupped the side of his face with his hand, Yoongi leaned into it, and almost immediately fell back to sleep.

The others were still watching, but wanted to give the two space since they knew Namjoon could handle it, and grew very fond over this new side of Yoongi they were seeing.

"He's sooo cute," Taehyung cried, falling into Jin, "hyung! Yoongi hyung is so cute!"

Jin chuckled, ruffling Taehyung's hair.

~

It was later that day, and the boys were all surrounding the kitchen table, trying to figure out what happened to make Yoongi this way.

They found out, through some of Namjoon's ancient books he liked collecting, that there were legends of witches who were banned from the earth since they could turn people into hybrids or full animals.

The witches could brew potions in the form of sweet, sometimes addicting liquids, which took the taste of berries.

As Namjoon read aloud to the six boys, Yoongi put his tail between his legs and flattened his ears.

He was standing in his chair, so he could see above the counter top, but now he rested his forehead on the counter in shame.

He shouldn't have trusted such a kind old woman who has delicious berry flavored juice.

Namjoon finished reading, and then looked at the guilty cat hybrid.

"Do you have something you wanna tell us, kitten?" He asked.

Yoongi nodded, and then he jumped into Taehyung's lap and hid his face in his chest.

"I drank some juice this morning that I got from an old woman, and it's exactly how you described, Joon-ah."

"That's okay, Yoongi. You didn't know any better," Jin soothed, and Taehyung ran his hand down his back, holding his butt gently to keep him stable.

"We'll figure this out," Namjoon reassured, and the rest nodded.

~

And it turns out, as the boys found out over the next few weeks, it was easy to handle kitten Yoongi, for the most part.

Yoongi was usually a quiet person who loved sleeping, who would keep to himself for the most part.

He also didn't indulge much in affection, he wouldn't seek it out and would try to push away a person who tryed to innitiate it. He wouldn't act cute to get his way like the others would sometimes, and he didn't like being called pet names.

Cat hybrid Yoongi, however, was much sleepier, as cats usually were. He suddenly found himself craving affection and praise, and found himself subconsciously acting cute, as if that was always his personality.

But, he also found that he was a lot more sensitive, to sight sound taste touch and smell. And emotions. He usually didn't show much emotion, but as a cat hybrid, he constantly found himself tearing up over little things, finding his lip quivering, finding himself hiding in a member's arms, neck, or chest and seeking validation and praise so he wouldn't start to cry.

The boys all found that easy to handle, and they were glad to coddle and spoil the cute kitten, picking him up under his armpits when he'd reach his hands up to them, his lip pouted, and carry him around the house on their hip with a hand under his little butt to keep him up. The hybrid would just sit there and enjoy being carried by one of the members, would lean against them or hold on to their arm and chest.

However, Yoongi could also get random spouts of energy, as cats normally did.

The boys found that Yoongi liked to hide under chairs, couches, and beds, and wait for someone's feet to go by before he'd pounce them.

He would jump into boxes and tear pieces off with his sharp little canine teeth, then trot to the nearest member to plop the cardboard into their lap, smiling up at them proudly.

He'd find small objects and bat them around the floor, chasing after them while accidently running into the members or furniture.

One incident was when Jin was teaching Jimin how to bake a pie that the younger really wanted to know how to make.

There was flour out in a bowl, and sprinkled along the countertop so the dough wouldn't stick.

Yoongi decided to hop up, and his feet and hands got in the flour.

He saw the bowl of flower and tried to lay in it since it looked soft.

The bowl ended up tipping over on top of him, burying him underneath all of the flour.

"Yoongi!" Jin scolded.

"Aish, hyung!" Jimin sighed.

Yoongi coughed, but clapped his hands in excitement, having found the flour so amazing.

He patted the flour that was piled on his stomach and giggled, but then someone was lifting him up by his armpits, and he looked up to see a glaring Jin.

Yoongi's smile dropped.

"That was very naughty of you, Yoongi. Come on, I'm gonna give you a bath."

Yoongi flattened his ears down, and his eyes went misty.

"Jimin, can you please be cleaning up the flour? You can get a fresh bowl of it and then wait for me to finish bathing the kitten. We'll finish when I'm done, okay?"

"Okay, hyung," Jimin easily replied.

Jin carried the flour-covered kitten to the bathroom, and then started to fill the bathtub.

Yoongi sniffled as he listened to his hyung preparing the bath.

He picked up his tail, which had been curled between his legs, and began fiddling with it.

When Jin turned to him, he crouched down on the floor so he was more level with the kitten.

"Am I a bad kitten, hyung?" Yoongi asked quietly, his eyes welling up with tears at the thought of his Jin hyung being disappointed in him.

Jin sighed, and then held his shoulders gently, "no, kitten, you're not. This is still pretty new to you, I know that. So I expect you to be curious and get into trouble from time to time. I'm sorry I got mad at you."

Yoongi nodded, and then Jin opened his arms.

Yoomgi fell into them and immediately hugged Jin tightly, feeling the quench of his heart dissipate.

"I love you, kitten. You're a good little kitty, you know?"

Yoongi started to pur, which made Jin laugh fondly.

"Can I get you undressed so I can bathe you, Yoongi?"

Yoongi blushed, and pulled back to look at Jin shyly.

"I've seen all of you naked before, Yoongi," Jin teased fondly, seeing how shy the boy was, "besides, there's nothing I haven't seen: I'm a guy, too, you know. If you don't want me to undress you, I understand. But I think it will be easier. I want to wash you, though, because of how little you are – I don't want you to drown or get hurt."

Ever since Yoongi had turned into a hybrid, Namjoon was the one to bathe him.

Yoongi nodded, and let Jin undress him.

Once he was nude, Jin carefully picked him up and lowered him into the warm water, the tub only being filled with a few inches of water (it went to Yoongi's bellybutton, and he slapped at the water's surface curiously).

Jin chuckled at the antics of the younger, before getting a washcloth and submerging it in the warm water, grabbing Yoongi's body wash and put a small drop onto the washcloth.

When Yoongi had turned into a kitten hybrid, Namjoon had also gone to the store and got new body wash, shampoo, and conditioner for him, ones that were softer and more gentle for his body.

"Let me wash you, kitten," Jin said softly, causing Yoongi to look up at him with wide, curious eyes, his ears twitching when he saw the washcloth.

The bathwater around Yoongi was filmy, the flour having tainted the water. Some of the flour from Yoongi's body had settled at the bottom of the tub and swayed with the current against Yoongi's soft thighs.

"I wanna go to the beach," Yoongi said absently, staring at the way the flour on the surface danced against his tummy and sides, as Jin lifted his arms above the surface to wash them delicately with the soapy washcloth.

"You do?" Jin smiled, "let's go there soon. We'll have to keep a very close eye on you, though, so I'd be more comfortable if all of us went together."

Yoongi nodded, and watched as his arms were covered in soap, the flour washing off.

Yoongi realized, once Jin had him stand up and was washing his legs, that he was purring.

It felt like a warm rumble throughout him, and he felt warm and fuzzy whenever he purred.

He blushed when Jin gently rubbed the washcloth over his butt and tail, before he patted his butt and told Yoongi he could sit back down.

Jin put the washcloth down, setting it in the water, and Yoongi immediately picked it up, starting to play with it while Jin got a dollop of Yoongi's shampoo on his hands, before beginning to massage it into Yoongi's scalp.

Yoongi put the washcloth down and closed his eyes, purring louder, as he tried to rub his head against Jin's hand.

Jin chuckled, "you're cute, kitten."

Jin began to scrub at Yoongi's ears, and he purred louder, again, his hands starting to kneed at the washcloth, his claws coming out before retracting again, repeating over and over.

Jin stopped his ministrations all too soon, and Yoongi meowed at him in despair, his ears twitching as Jin gently placed his arm around Yoongi's shoulders and helped him lay back so his head was barely in the water, using his free hand to cup water before pouring it over Yoongi's head.

He repeated the process until Yoongi's hair was completely clean and soap-free.

Then, he pulled the drain, and sat Yoongi back up, smiling at him before he got up and retrieved a clean towel from the bathroom closet.

"Stand up, Yoongi," he said, and Yoongi stood up, lifting his arms so Jin could lift him out of the slippery, draining tub.

Jin placed him on the bath mat, and began towel drying him, being careful around his tail and ears.

"All clean," Jin smiled, booping his nose with Yoongi's, who giggled at the action.

That's something Yoongi really liked now that he was part-kitten, booping his nose with the others.

He'd crawl on top of Taehyung's chest when he was sleeping, and nudge his nose against the younger's, before he'd wake up and wrap Yoongi into his arms.

Or he'd find Namjoon on the couch reading, and climb into his lap, standing with his hands against his leader's chest and boop his nose with his, and Namjoon would smile fondly at him and scratch his ears.

"Good kitten," he'd say, and rub Yoongi's tummy until he fell asleep in his lap.

He'd find Hobi in the kitchen sitting at the counter, and climb up before sitting on the counter in front of Hobi.

He'd boop his nose with his own, and Hobi would laugh loudly, before doing the same thing.

They'd boop their noses together and giggle, with Hoseok's hands around Yoongi's back, until a member would come in and look at them weird.

"Come on, kitten. You can help Jimin and I bake, so you won't be curious anymore," Jin said, carrying Yoongi out of the bathroom, the towel wrapped around him.

"What about clothes?" Yoongi asked, pointing to his bedroom at the end of the hall.

"I don't want to get you dressed, in case you get messy again. Is that okay?"

Yoongi nodded, and layed against Jin's chest.

When they got to the kitchen, Yoongi walked across the kitchen counter and stood in front of Jimin, before hugging him.

"I'm sorry for ruining your flour, Jiminie," he apologized.

Jimin wrapped his arms around Yoongi, patting his towel-covered butt, "it's okay, Yoongi, I know how mischievous kittens can be."

Yoongi giggled, and the two others began baking again, including Yoongi.

~

Yoongi was in the living room on the rug, laying on his back with a paper towel roll in his hold, gnawing at it with his sharp teeth.

The maknae line and Namjoon were watching him fondly from the couch, laughing when he'd meow or growl at the empty roll, scurrying away from it only to pounce it a few seconds later.

Jin and Hoseok walked in suddenly, and Jin was smiling wide, hiding something behind his back.

Yoongi popped up, looking at Jin with wide eyes, his pupils blown.

When Jin was close enough, he suddenly tossed a small, pink bouncy ball out onto the rug, and Yoongi gasped, before pouncing the ball.

Since it was a bouncy ball, he ended up falling off of it, and the ball rolled slowly, a little away from him.

He wiggled his butt, before pouncing again, successfully 'catching' the ball, holding it tightly with his arms and legs, on top of it.

He meowed in victory, his tails swishing and his ears twitching, a quiet pur filling the room as the boys all watched with find grins.

Suddenly, however, Yoongi sunk his sharp canines into the ball, and the thin rubber it was made from popped, the used to be ball now flat which caused Yoongi to thump on to the floor, laying on top of the deflated pink rubber.

There was a collective gasp in the room, and Jin (who had sat down with Hoseok once Yoongi had the ball) and Namjoon jumped up, quickly going to Yoongi.

Hobi and Jimin had also stood up, but sat back down when they saw Namjoon and Jin going over already.

Yoongi sat up, and looked down, confused, at the mess, then looked up at Jin and Namjoon who were quickly approaching, before he began to cry, his lip quivering tremendously and tears falling vigorously down his face, cascading down his chin until they collected too heavily and fell on to his shirt and on to the pink rubber.

Jin was the first to reach him, so he scooped him into his arms and held him firmly.

"Are you okay, baby?" He asked, and Namjoon grabbed both of his hands, "are you hurt?" He asked.

Yoongi sniffled and shook his head 'no,' indicating that he wasn't hurt.

"My ball..." He said, fretfully.

"I'm sorry it broke, kitten," Jin said apologetically, "I didn't think you'd bite it like that. Are your teeth okay?"

He pulled Yoongi's lip up and inspected his teeth, but then Yoongi started chewing on his thumb, purring, and Jin and Namjoon laughed at the action.

"Cute," Namjoon muttered.

"I'll get you another ball tomorrow, okay?" Jin promised.

Yoongi nodded, staring up at Jin with his wide eyes.

~

The boys have been noticing how persistently Yoongi's been chewing on things.

It's been pretty mundain objects, though, like the members' fingers and hands, or their ankles when they're sitting on the couch or at the table and he's being a menace. Or stuffed animals, the members' discarded clothes since they smell so familiar and soothing (although, Yoongi got in trouble when Jungkook saw him chewing on his underwear he'd left in the bathroom after a shower, and Yoongi got scolded with his ears flat, holding his tail and his cheeks red. Jungkook ended up letting him sleep with him, so all was well).

But lately, the boys have been getting on to him and calling him a bad kitten for chewing on remotes, charging cords, and other things that have to plug in to walls — which are very dangerous for little kitty's like Yoongi.

Yoongi was in the living room alone, his butt and legs sticking out from the TV cabinet he was hiding in, his tail swishing, and his mouth full of TV cords.

Suddenly, he was grabbed by the hips and pulled outward, and was met face to face by an angry Taehyung.

"Taehyungie!" Yoongi whined, burying his face in Taehyung's neck, "I'm sorry!"

Taehyung swatted Yoongi's butt once, not hard enough to actually hurt, but hard enough for Yoongi to know he was in trouble.

"You cannot chew on cords, Yoongi!" Taehyung reprimanded, "they can seriously hurt you!"

He carried the sad Yoongi to Namjoon's room, and told the older what happened, who sighed.

"C'mere, kitten," he called, gently.

Yoongi peeked at him from Taehyung's neck, and then crawled into Namjoon's hold.

"I'm sorry, Joonie," he mumbled, holding his tail for support, before putting it in his mouth and chewing.

"Yoongi, we don't mind you chewing on our things, but cords can electrocute you and kill you. We don't want that to happen. You're not allowed to chew on them, do you understand?"

"Yes," Yoongi muttered, his eyes full of tears, "but they feel nice."

Namjoon sighed, and pet Yoongi's head, "I might know something that can break this bad habit, but you have to be patient, okay?"

"Okay," Yoongi said hopefully, perking up.

"What is it, hyung?" Taehyung asked, having listened to their conversation.

"I have something in mind," Namjoon smiled, "but I don't know if it will work."

~

Four days later Namjoon got a package.

"Yoongi!" He called through the house, and Yoongi came running out of Jimin's room, with a sock in his mouth.

"I have something for you," Namjoon informed him, when Yoongi was now sitting on the counter in front of Namjoon, "remember when I told you to be patient?"

Yoongi nodded, and anxiously waited for Namjoon to finish opening the box.

When he did, he pulled out the items inside, and Yoongi looked at them curiously, his tail swishing.

"They're meant for babies who are teething, but I feel like they're similar to the cords you like chewing," Namjoon explained, "so I thought maybe we can try these out."

Yoongi silently took the pink ring, but Namjoon gently placed his hand over Yoongi's tiny one.

"Let's wash these before you try them, baby. Okay?"

Yoongi nodded, and watched Namjoon wash them quickly, drying them, and then he brought them back to Yoongi, handing him the pink one again.

Yoongi held it up to his mouth, and looked at Namjoon, who smiled encouragingly at him.

So Yoongi put it in his mouth, and chewed on it quizzically.

He grabbed the blue one, and chewed on it, too, and smiled, before standing up and wrapping himself around Namjoon, putting the pink one back into his mouth so he could hold on to Namjoon's shoulder.

Namjoon held him, and smiled excitedly, "do you like them? Will they help you to stop chewing the cords?"

Yoongi nodded, "these are perfect, Namjoon."
Namjoon smiled, and booped Yoongi's nose with his own, "I'm glad."

~

The teething rings made Yoongi stop chewing the cords, and he oftentimes had one (mostly the pink one) on his arm, for easy access when he wanted to chew it.

Sometimes the boys would find him sleeping curled up on the couch, holding one of the rings in both hands with it in his mouth, fast asleep.

However, he still chewed on the members.

He also found a new comfort in suckling the members' hands, especially when napping or watching a movie.

He'd crawl into Jungkook's lap and have the boy cuddle him, before grabbing his hand and sucking on the soft skin between his thumb and pointer finger.

Or he'd lay with Namjoon at night and suck on his finger until he fell asleep.

The members didn't mind, and would ask if he'd prefer one of his rings. But Yoongi would shrug them off and start sucking or chewing more intently on the member of choice.

~

When six months had passed, and none of the boys or staff found a way to turn Yoongi back to being a human, they decided it was a lost cause.

Yoongi was clearly happy, and so were the boys. They took well care of him and loved him very much, and he loved them.

So they were given permission to tell the fans what had happened.

They explained it in a vlog that would be put on weverse and YouTube in a week, talking about what happened with Yoongi and the old woman, and how his time being a cat was like so far.

The others had to do most of the talking though, since Yoongi was distracted skittering across all of their laps, playing with their fingers they'd dangle and wiggle in his face, and going from one lap to another to nap.

A week later when the video came out, army was shocked. But the comments were flooded, on both weverse and YouTube, about how cute Yoongi was as a kitten hybrid and how the old woman needed to be found.

The fans were all anxious to see more content from the adorable kitten.
