"You must exterminate this specie! It nearly tore this facility down to the ground!"

"I know sir, but we cannot do that without Dr. Jeon's order since he's the specialist in species, this is his case."

Voices.....

Voices so far away.

Yet so near...

"Where is Jewel now?"

"Unconscious. Vernon of the Delta unit has him in a coma so he wouldn't wake up unless from Dr. Jeon's orders."

Unconscious.

Coma?

Jewel.

Jewel....

What happened?

Everything..... Hurts

"Make sure to keep Dr. Jeon's head in the ground, for the sake of the human race. Ugh, fuck! how do you even tolerate letting that thing be in the same room as him."

"That thing is his partner, and if it weren't for him, Jeongguk wouldn't be alive right now."

Wake up.

Wake up!

Heavy eyelids subtly flutters open, the weight feeling like bricks in demand to keep them shut from the light and weakness of the thin skin and muscle, but the instinct provoked it open of a faint curiosity - now facing nothing but the blank ceiling of a broad empty canvas staring back apprehensively. It's silence almost provocative, urging the young scientist to say something - anything.

The thought almost made Jeongguk snicker if it wasn't for the fact that he felt so heavy.

Silly thoughts after all.

"Dr. Jeon."

There's not a neuron in Jeongguk's body that did not recognize that daunting voice.

A voice that eased every cell in his body to now fell relaxed and at peace, knowing he's here.

The one who saved his life.

Taehyung is standing beside him on the bed, observing Jeongguk with his purple eyes. He scans him from his legs, all the way up to his chest and finally to reach his eyes, his focus unfaltering.

Jeongguk just barely twitches a smile, blinking at him softly, "T-Tae-"

A burning pain scorched Jeongguk's throat, gripping his cords like a hot iron with his frail attempt to speak. Even as he coughed, his chest squeezed harshly to the force - near suffocatingly. The rim of a cup is on his lips in seconds, followed by the cool water easing down his throat. The liquid was the saving grace he needed, along with the nasal cannula on his face.

Taking a few gentle sips to ease his throat, Jeongguk began to register the discomfort circulating his body. A strange discomfort that he knows comes along with the lack of oxygen in his blood stream, definitely better than how he can imagine he was like.

Was like.

Ease back to the bed, the cup away from his lips, Taehyung began to check his vitals with gloves over his hands, just as Jeongguk croaks out, "How long have I've been out?"

"One week sir," Taehyung whispers, flashing light to Jeongguk's eyes to observe his pupil reflection, "Need rest."

Jeongguk began to relax, closing his eyes as Taehyung softly nudges his torso, observing his breathing, "W-What happened? Oxygen related I assume."

"Jewel breathe oxygen out of lungs," Taehyung informs, now checking his blood pressure, "Couldn't breathe. Somi teleport here."

Little by little the discomfort began to subside, just as Taehyung gives another scan over his body, "Jewel, how's Jewel?"

Taehyung now stands in front of Jeongguk with hands to his back, "He's in a -"

"Taehyung, I'm your partner," Jeongguk reminds him, fluttering his eyes to his tense body, "Relax, please."

Hesitation sprinkle Taehyung's eyes, but eventually he let's his shoulders relax, "Jewel is in science facility. Study while Coma. Vernon in head, sleep."

Why did that sound so familiar?

A delicate flinch fixates on Jeongguk's features, exhausted to even remember, "I need to see Jewel."

"What?"

By now Jeongguk pushes his body to sit up, removing the nasal cannul from his face, "Jewel can't be stuck in there. I need to see his conditions, is he hurt?"

"N-No but sir-" Jeongguk glares at him, "Jeongguk - Please, must rest. Body no good to-"

Jeongguk is now sitting at the edge of the bed, breathing heavily to himself to the headache, but brushes it off, "He's my responsibility. What happened wasn't supposed to happen. He needs me, just as much as we need to know more about him."

Now his bare feet touches the ground, but Taehyung's hand on his knee stops him, meeting him at eye level with clearly uncertainty in those dark grey eyes, "Understand, but can investigate when better-"

"I've had a week to rest, I can handle it."

"Jeongguk," Taehyung sighs, placing his hand on Jeongguk's softly, "He hurt you-"

"You hurt people too when you came here," Taehyung seals his lip, especially to Jeongguk's harsh gaze, "But I didn't give up on you. Let me help Jewel Taehyung."

Despite Taehyung being calm when he first came to the facility, doesn't mean he didn't have his moments where he was out of control. Due to his animalistic nature, he hated being tamed or domesticated, so often times when Jeongguk wasn't around, it was difficult to calm him down.

He was only ever calm around Jeongguk.

Taehyung didn't say anything for a long moment, seeing Jeongguk clearly not changing his mind, so he hangs his head and turns around, squatting to his knees, "Get on back, I carry you."

Rolling his eyes, Jeongguk huffs, "I can walk-"

"I see inside body," Taehyung cuts him off, "Need more heal, can't walk. On back. Now."

"Won't that hurt my chest because of the compression?"

Taehyung gets up, a pointed stare in his gaze, "No walk!"

"Fine!" Jeongguk lost his patience, "Just get me a wheelchair then. But I'm going to see Jewel!"

Nothing more was said.

Taehyung ended up getting Jeongguk a wheelchair, scowling the whole time in the process while avoiding looking at Jeongguk as a quiet protest. True to Taehyung's words, Jeongguk didn't have the energy or the strength when he subtly attempted to get to his feet, so he just grabbed the arm rest of the wheelchair and tried to move to sit down. Yet it seemed as though Taehyung couldn't stand just watching as his boyfriend struggled, so he stubbornly moves around and gently carries him before settling him down on the chair, not before pecking Jeongguk's head softly with a tender caress to his hair.

Taehyung can never last being too irritated with him after all.

This eased down a bit of Jeongguk's annoyance, accepting the tender affection, before Taehyung held onto the handles and eased him out of the room with the IV strolling beside it. Immediately it caused an obnoxious beeping to circulate around them to the unattached patches around Jeongguk's body, which resulted with the door to burst open to reveal YangYang's wide pink eyes looking around the room before it settled to Jeongguk and Taehyung.

And he grimaces, not at all surprised, "I was hoping you'd be knocked out long enough for you to heal, or for Taehyung to stop you from leaving this room."

"And we both know I don't like to stay with my arms crossed," Jeongguk ventures back, grinning, "I need to see Jewel."

YangYang stares at him for a long moment before glancing to Taehyung, his glare fierce enough that immediately made YangYang huff before squatting down to Jeongguk, "You better back me up if Dr. Jung starts coming at my neck."

Jeongguk smiles falsely back but winces when YanYang's pink eyes glowed as he scanned his body, specifically his torso while slowly tracing to his throat, forcing more flinches out of Jeongguk before it all stopped - resulting with no pain or discomfort coming from Jeongguk's body.

Even when Taehyung scanned him, he sensed him completely healed - which is expected from a being who can heal.

"Just for you, but don't do any intense activities so instantly," He glances between the two, forcing a blushed heat to crawl up Jeongguk's neck, "Act as though you're still in pain for the sake of my being, yeah?"

Taehyung and Jeongguk were out the patient room with the young scientist not feeling anything in his body anymore.

For YangYang's sake, he'll remain seated.

There's only a limit a being is allowed to perform their abilities in this facility: The volunteer Offense unit - Also known as the Alpha - are strictly for the assistance of new beings who are brought to this facility. Able to use their abilities to the extent of not causing a serious harm to this world and being itself, and make sure the new arrival is detained if necessary. Taehyung is the head in this unit.

Then there's the Defense unit - Beta - Sole focused on defenses on the facility, making sure everyone is safe. They're on duty when it comes to guarding and first contact with the higher ups in relation with the military forces. They make sure whatever happens here, stays in this island, and nothing escapes from it, while also evacuating if needed and having safety be a priority. In charge of this unit is Yeji.

The scientists Unit - Gamma - having their abilities focused with science and technology far advanced than the one's here on Earth. They assist the scientists - whether their specialty is in chemistry, technology, biology, etc. They have different ways on tackling the issue to help process things quicker instead of years. Leader of this is Naeun.

Medical Unit - Delta - Who's abilities can help people heal or attend any physical or internal wounds. From detecting sickness for reviving from the dead, they're the medics who are there in line of action. YangYang is the head in this unit, undoubtedly. 

Flight Unit - Echo - For the beings who request to be returned back to their own world, or universe, after they are in the proper health, and with the correct technology to do so. S.H.F - Scientific Hazard Facility - are not obligated to force any being to stay in this planet if they do not wish to live here. Many crash landed or arrived here by accident, and so they work heavily between the Delta and Gamma unit on their health and how to return home. Yoongi is in charge in making sure that happens.

Lastly, the adapt unit - Omega - The beings who are taught how to live on Earth, without using their abilities, as humans. As mentioned priorly, thanks to the Gamma unit, beings now are able to transform into humans and appear as they do. Many have grown fond of Earth and have requested to stay. They learn how to control their abilities, provide profiles for protection, and the facility helps them find a home and job in the process. Nayeon has been in charge of that unit for the past ten years as of now.

Meanwhile, Jung Hoseok is in charge of it all - Doctor and scientific wise. However since he's human, there needs to be someone who's also a specie that has that upper hand, and that would be Kim Namjoon - Who currently is away to his home planet for a board meeting.

Going back to the main topic: Those in the medical unit are restricted from using their full abilities unless it's for emergencies, only because the doctors here want to experiment how well their medicine functions and how to enhance it in order to help the humans in the outside world. YangYang can heal anything: physical and internal wounds, even a centimeter close to death.

However, due to his special ability, he has grave restriction on how to use it. Of course, unless it's emergency purposes.

In this occasion, he would be going against regulations for not letting Jeongguk heal on his own, but who is he to go against his superior?

After all, Jeongguk is the specialist in species, so they listen to him - out of respect that is. Hoseok listens to him blindly when it comes to anything with them, and not only because he's incredibly intelligent on sinking information quickly, but because they all trust him.

They trust him that he'll keep them safe, and that mainly ties because of his connection with Taehyung.

And because of what YangYang is doing just for him, Jeongguk owes him for that.

So Jeongguk only nods to him reassuringly, and Taehyung pushes the chair now down the hallway with YangYang's gaze watching them in a distance before going on to attend his other patients. None of the nurses said anything to Jeongguk and Taehyung as they moved, or even stopped him, yet that didn't stop the subtle glances they'd still send to him from time to time.

They're aware that if Jeongguk is out of his room it's because YangYang allowed it to happen, and that's enough trust they have in their leader.

Clearly that was something not in Taehyung's mind, "Doctor, I have a question."

"You know better than to be so formal with me Tae, we talked about this," Jeongguk says back, displeased "What's wrong?"

It's not like it's an issue for Taehyung to be like this with him, but Jeongguk just doesn't like being addressed so strictly all the time. He knows his titles, yes, but Taehyung is his partner.

He's his partner before he is a soldier, and Jeongguk wants him to feel comfortable enough like that with him. 

But guess some habits die hard.

Taehyung is quiet for a moment, just until they reached the skywalk to the science facility, "YangYang's comment, your heartbeat fasr and rise in temperature," Jeongguk's eyes widen, "Physical activity gives anxiety?"

Oh Taehyung, how innocent he still is to the human language.

Jeongguk looks around with his heart skipping a beat once again, "Well no-"

Taehyung stops again and moves around the chair, looking at Jeongguk with his glowing purple eyes, "Pulse rates higher, heart skipping, skin warm," He lists quickly, placing a hand to Jeongguk's knee, "Throat dry, subtle sweat - Why did you move leg-"

"Taehyung please!" In panic Jeongguk exclaims, "I'm okay! I promise!"

"But sir, fever-"

"I'm n-not sick," Jeongguk sputters out, humiliated by this point, "Let's just go-"

"No, not well, we must go back to room."

Jeongguk grips a hand to his hair in irritation, "Tae, please, I promise I'm okay."

"But vitals-"

"YangYang was implying for us to not have sex!" Taehyung lips sealed, "And it just - took me off guard and I - We, you know?"

Taehyung now remains in silence, letting Jeongguk's words sink in with a bit of confusion, "Sex? Sexual intercourse?"

"Y-Yes."

"Mating?"

"Well -"

"Want sex?"

"N-NO! I mean - we haven't -"

"Make high vitals go down? But you sweating -"

"Taehyung please don't make me explain myself too much, or I will literally - Just shush!"

Taehyung cocks his head to the side, eyebrows furrowed, "We can mate?"

Now Jeongguk has officially lost his mind, while opening Taehyung's curiosity. As mentioned before, they have a very low PDA relationship, so having this conversation is just so out of their comfort zone. 

More so Jeongguk, since he didn't want to feel like they're crossing boundaries so soon.

"We'll talk about this later," Jeongguk mutters in distress, resting an elbow on the arm rest with his fingers rubbing his temple, "Jewel please!"

Taehyung didn't want to let this go, but after Jeongguk's glare, he lets out an animalistic huff and gets back to his feet to trace around the wheelchair and proceeds in pushing it into the science building. 

So far, it's not as busy as it is in other days - a few scientists in their laboratories with specific species while they assist with their abilities or focus on creating components with the research they gathered. Everyone was far too focused to notice the young scientist in the same area as them, until eventually they got to the basement level of the building.

That's where more voices are heard.

Within the darkness that the two came across to once they exit the elevator, they peer their eyes to a group of scientists observing from outside a glass window - whispering and taking notes within each other - while others are behind the screens studying the body's vital signs, evidence they have gathered, and looking through videos of what occurred of the incident, and others are looking into samples through microscopes and scientific instruments. Both humans and from the Gamma team are here, clearly putting their heads together for this occasion on figuring this special case out. 

Yet Taehyung lead Jeongguk directly to the glass window from the sides, being sure they stay hidden within the darkness, letting him see from the inside.

There, in a table - strapped securely with a headband and a large circular screen around his body - is Jewel. Everything about him is the same as when they first spotted him outside the cube, but this time he has a gaze around his mouth. 

This made Jeongguk's eye's narrowed, wondering if they probably took samples from his mouth while he was unconscious.

Inside the same room is also Vernon, eyes closed as he stays focused, making sure to keep Jewel stable and unconscious in his mind. He appears calm, collected, and centered - just as he always is when he does this. Vernon is usually in the Delta unit, but of course he was needed here priority.

Slowly Jeongguk's eyes focuses back only on Jewel, placing a hand on Taehyung's from the handles, "Purple."

Taehyung immediately scans Jewel, humming quietly, "Stable sir -"

"I'm your partner."

"Sorry," Taehyung corrects himself, "He's stable, no fatal injuries or internal."

"Blue."

Taehyung's gaze shifted from purple to blue, his eye immediately twitching, "Scientists took blood samples. Skin thin like human. Took strand of hair, study. Took out molar tooth too. He feel, but since in his head, can't act. But he listens."

He can feel and sense everything, but because he's in this state, he can't do anything.

That's torturing.

"He must be scared then," Jeongguk whispers, feeling a spark of anger flickering inside his soul, "Anything on his past before here besides what we already know?"

"Blocked."

"Either he doesn't remember or refuses for us to see," And he tightens his grip on Taehyung's hand, "I don't like this treatment, we must awaken him soon."

Taehyung interlaces his hand with Jeongguk's, "Agree. But, must say something."

"What is it?-"

"Dr. Jeon!"

Both of their attention snaps to the side, meeting with Dr. Jung Hoseok noticing their presence from the group taking notes, rushing to their side immediately.

"Tell at home," Taehyung whispers, just as Dr. Jung reached them, panting, "You shouldn't be here kid-"

"I had to be," Jeongguk mutter drily, looking back to the glass, "I'll be fine."

Hoseok eyed him momentarily, eyes narrowed, "Did YangYang -"

"Jewel," Taehyung cuts in, "Status."

Attention now snaps to Taehyung - who's looking to the window expectantly - and Jeongguk nods to Hoseok with his evident impatience, "You heard him, status?"

Reluctantly Hoseok ended up letting it go, focusing on the window as well, "Jewel is stable. We kept him this way until you woke up, deciding what we should do next."

Right.

Hoseok seems to have forgotten Jeongguk's alien boyfriend can see the past.

Jeongguk fixates his gaze to Vernon, "How secure is this room?"

"Not secure enough as the previous one. Perhaps we could study him while he's like this -"

"No," Jeongguk shuts him down instantly, "We must his study behavior. Without communication, we will only know the biographical factors of his being, but not enough on how his abilities work or what exactly happened. He's our ancestor, we shouldn't only be running off on technology as a sorce of study"

"But we don't even know how to communicate with him," Hoseok sternly responds, eying him, "His language runs on ancient tongues. Not even #405 knows -"

"Taehyung," Jeongguk said, firmly sliding his glare at Hoseok, "His name is Taehyung."

Hoseok grimaces, glancing to the way Taehyung rubs Jeongguk's arm to ease him down once he noticed his anger vitals acting up, so he nods, "Not even Taehyung knows this language, and he's fluent in most."

"Then we'll get him something he'll communicate with."

"And what is that?"

There was a long pause of silence, since neither scientist knows of anything that could possibly help in this situation, but Taehyung suddenly mumbles, "Trees."

Both men look at him, Jeongguk more confused, "Trees?"

"He control trees," He says quietly, "Trees listen. Earth trees ancient, communicate and obey him, weather too. Outside. Siyeon sends messages through plants. Help."

Siyeon, being from planet Arisa, two galaxies away from this present one. Crash landed here by accident as she was on her way to her own galaxy. She's from the Echo unit, in request to be returning home in a few months after his rocket has been properly adjusted. She can speak to plants, but cannot control them, however her assistance can help in this matter.

That is, if Taehyung's theory is correct, and so far with this case, he has been.

Jeongguk doesn't doubt him once.

"Then we create a barrier section in the island, large enough for Jewel to roam but secure enough for him to not escape," Jeongguk instructs, nodding to himself, "We have calculated his strength and speed, correct? Assuming that's what you've been working on since I've been out."

"Yes, we have been studying it since the incident."

"Then there should be no mistake," He states, focusing to the way Jewel's hand twitches ever so often, "We'll get on it and awaken him there. We could expect it to be done in a week possibly?"

"Undoubtably, maybe sooner. If you can get your health to be at its best," Hoseok tried to lighten up the mood, smiling to the young man, "You're making me feel like your apprentice."

Jeongguk twitches a smile, looking to him, "You're still the one in charge."

"But Jewel is yours," Hoseok remarks, "I'll follow your lead. You were right about the fire and have had no mistake thus far. So, I trust your intuition."

"Not just mine," And he glances to Taehyung, who only nods respectfully back to him, "Together we're a team."

Hoseok stares at the two, sighing before looking to Jewel, "Best team we have thus far. And hopefully, it stays that way."

Nothing escapes from Jeongguk's lips, only stares at Jewel now with his heart thudding loud in his chest.

Curious.

Only curious.

*Sexual trigger, skip if needed to do so immediately*

There's something about the darkness of the night that feels peaceful in this island. Perhaps it's the quiet noises of the animals murmuring within the forest, or the delicate winds caressing the trees. Gentle animals purring in their slumber. Stars glossing in light as they danced around the moon in a gentle waltz, or maybe all those things together.

Whatever it was, it spread this tranquility within the delicate leaves to feel like a breath of freedom sprinkling over into the world.

Maybe that's why Peter Pan was written for the night, since those are the hours one begins to feel younger and more alive.

Like an innocent, yet reckless little kid.

That's how it began to feel for Jeongguk, who leans against the wooden rail while he gazes into the night sky. There's something about how the moon and stars aligned before his eyes is what makes the young scientists curious about the world. Curious yet so small.

It's so bizarre yet fascinating how in this very spot he's on, years ago someone was in this same spot, looking at this same night sky. Breathing the same air. Someone not existing anymore. Yet everything else is the same - from the Earth, the moon, the stars and sun, everything is the same - except for that person who was living.

How is time so endless for them, but so quick for those here?

Or maybe their time is on a ticking clock too?

Just like what are the odds that there were more species like Jewel in this Earth; roaming with the dinosaurs and becoming one with trees and air, being able to produce such things with their body that would make the force of nature quiver - yet still look up to this same sky, breathe this same air, as though time never existed.

None of this is starting to make sense by this point since if there were more others like Jewel, where are they now?

Why were fossils or skeletons never found?

The architects of cities or homes?

Or was it all burnt down with the meteor that struck the Earth?

It just..... All doesn't make sense anymore.

Just like how this world now doesn't make sense for Jewel.

Hopefully with Taehyung's hypothesis, they'll get the answers they need.

But even then....

Subtly Jeongguk rises a hand to his throat, frowning to the faint memory. What was Jewel trying to do to him? Why was he breathing the air out of him? 

It makes no sense...

If he wanted to kill him, he would with anything else, why that way?

What was he actually trying to do?

There's more mystery to him than meets the eye, and that's something Jeongguk has been determined since the beginning in figuring out.

"No sleep?"

Jeongguk drops his hand from his neck, shifting his gaze down to the trees from the night sky, "No, have a lot in my mind right now."

Taehyung makes his presence known when he leans over the rail beside Jeongguk, gazing over the same view, trying to appear relaxed, "Talk?"

There's a moment where they're silent, letting the world sink in around them - more so letting Jeongguk feel the air around them through his lungs.

Peace and nature.

Makes him feel calm words cannot even describe. 

This is the first time he's been calm since he woke up, spending days and nights on this operation to wake up Jewel once again. He refused to let time go further than it needed to be, and thankfully everything is set for tomorrow after three five days of working on this.

Now, he can take a soft breather before tomorrow, as if that's even possible.

"A lot of unanswered questions about Jewel," Jeongguk whispers, hugging his arms to himself, "If there were more like him in the past - which I believe there was but.... Why can't we find them?"

Taehyung flickers his eyes to him, "Great fall, punished."

"But punished from what?" Jeongguk urges, looking at Taehyung, "What could he have possibly done to make a whole population vanish without a single trace behind and yet he's still alive?"

The clear frustration is clear in Jeongguk's eyes, and Taehyung didn't like how his eyebrows knitted by the center or the deep frown on his lips. So, he gently rubs his back, knowing from past experience it being a strategy for Jeongguk to calm down.

"We know answer soon, but now we wait," He comforts, his voice smooth and low, reaching the core of Jeongguk's soul to believe him, "But, we must speak."

Right, Taehyung has been meaning to tell him something, but with everything going on, they never have found the time to really sit down and talk about it.

What better opportunity than now?

Jeongguk didn't say anything, giving Taehyung the space to gather his words carefully in his head. However, before he opened his mouth, he looked to their surroundings and wordlessly grabs Jeongguk's hand to lead him inside, closing the door to their room and the curtains sealed shut. Wordlessly Jeongguk sits down on the bed, eying how Taehyung gets into a resting position on his feet before him - his military habit that never will be shrugging off anytime soon when he wants to get serious.

He did looks reluctant for a moment, which is quite unusual coming from Taehyung, but then he nods to himself, "Jewel, attack me, yes."

Jeongguk nods, "Mhm."

"Jewel animal instinct."

"I'm aware."

"Made discovery during battle," Taehyung stated, immediately making Jeongguk sit up, "Jewel animal, fight to kill, but wrong. Yes, fight to dominance but to," He pauses, gulping thickly before whispering, "Mate."

Jeongguk's head goes blank.

He stayed quiet, very quiet, not even feeling anything as the words felt like empty pages of a paper caressing the air.

Taehyung pauses to let it sink in, frowning when Jeongguk furrows his eyebrows, confused, "Mate? As in to -"

"Sexual intercourse."

"So.... I'm sorry, I'm very confused," Jeongguk leans on his knees, crossed fingers to his lips, "So since he saw you was this some love at first sight shit show, and he wanted to claim you?"

Taehyung calmly shakes his head, "No, we fight. He think me alpha, want to claim power, we fight. He win, we mate, and he claim alpha."

"But you guys aren't even in the same pack or the same species-"

"He saw me powerful," Taehyung interjects, "He competitive. Fought me to claim superior, finish of by mating, but nothing more. Lust and power, put me in place. Mate intimate, so mark submission."

Jeongguk takes this in for a good, hard, moment, finally letting it process what the fuck is actually going on. Okay, in human language, Jeongguk gets it if someone - anyone - wants to fuck his man, since of course Taehyung as a human form is just handsome and manly and gives alpha vibes, but having someone act on that so openly made a nerve in his body twitch.

People usually respect his and Taehyung's relationship, so they don't even try to get involved with it.

Then again, who was Jewel to know anything?

He was going off animal instincts in the animal kingdom.

State your power and dominance - No, demand for it. 

He doesn't care if Taehyung's in a relationship with Jeongguk, since it's a human thing to have morals and values. If Taehyung comes off threatening to him, he'll act in whatever means necessary to make sure everyone knows he's the one in charge here.

This is why he needs to be awaken. There are so many things about him that just can't be studied by samples.

He's so.... Peculiar, yet intriguing. 

"He probably think we alike since appearance, that's why attack me," Taehyung says, flickering Jeongguk's eyes back to him, "But not sure."

That's a good point.

He probably thought Taehyung was one of his people, and judging by his sudden instinct, he was the leader of his kind.

But now that blossomed a new question.

Jeongguk grinds his teeth together, pursing his lips, "Would you?"

"Would what?"

"Let him have sex - mate with you?" Jeongguk says, his tone bitter, "Would you?"

Taehyung clearly is thinking his words carefully, not at all feeling pressured by Jeongguk's heavy stare, and after a second he spoke, "My loyalty lies with you, so I would fight to the death to stand my ground for us," He bowed his head, showing his loyalty with respect, "Must admit, hair colors affect ability."

"I'm aware of that."

"But orange was..... Uncontrollable," Jeongguk stands up now, listening carefully, "Make animal in me come out. Aggressive, violent. As animal, would give in to nature."

Jeongguk heart nearly stops beating, "To-"

"To mate," He says, making Jeongguk's face fall, "Fight to death with human conscious of you, but animal conscious, give into instinct. Fight and mate to claim alpha."

If in Taehyung planet they were trained to fight to the death on any occasion, this shouldn't be suprising.

But due to that same fact, Jeongguk expected him to be more resistant.

 Cocking his head to the side, the scientist stands in front of Taehyung, "And there's no controlling it."

Taehyung eye twitches to Jeongguk's tone, being still, "Orange got in my head, no control. Jewel powerful."

So hard Jeongguk tried not to take this too personally, seeing it only from the lenses as a scientist instead of a lover - because best believe he would've walked out this room without turning back.

And unfortunately for him, that's the side that got too intrigued by the information.

He has to keep in mind that Taehyung isn't human, and he can't expect him to act like it. 

His instincts can be too uncontrollable to a certain extent, that's why he urges to be composed most of the time.

"How did it feel like?"

Taehyung purses his lips, hesitant, "Hurt feelings, wish not to -"

"As a scientist I need to know the feeling of what he did to you," Jeongguk bellowed, arms crossed, "Tell me."

Once again did Taehyung hesitate, but then he lets out a heavy exhale in defeat, "Um.... Animal rage."

"Okay."

"Adrenaline high, um heartbeat racing."

"Mhm."

"Bloodthirsty, wanted to hurt," Taehyung pauses, into thought but his eyes carefully shifts on Jeongguk, "Lust."

Jeongguk's hand twitches, "... Okay."

"Twitch in gut, low gut," Taehyung whispers, lips feeling dry as he recalls those memories of that feeling, "Um.... Low area..... Penis, hard."

Subtly Jeongguk glances down to Taehyung's pelvis, seeing a slight budge there growing already, "Like... Now?"

"Worse," Taehyung breathes, flickering Jeongguk's eyes to him, "No control. Wanted to rip him apart."

Jeongguk physically twitches to this, "That's it?"

"I.... I'm sorry," Taehyung whispers shakily, closing his eyes, "I'm getting feelings again."

"Of Jewel?"

"No," And he opens is eyes, now harshly dark grey, "You. Just you."

Jeongguk gulps thickly, especially to the way Taehyung grips his hands against each other to his back, breathing heavily with his boner only growing. The two never have gotten sexually intimate - few kisses here and there but too innocent for it to go further. Yet after that encounter with Jewel, it awakened a side of Taehyung he has held composed for many years.

That animalistic side of him, the lust.

The need to mate.

And he's trying hard to control it.

However, Jeongguk only steps closer to him, "Taehyung, we -"

"I'm sorry, I had to go-" Taehyung goes to walk away, but immediately was yanked back by Jeongguk's hand on his elbow- possessing his lips over his roughly.

No matter how lustful he may be feeling, Taehyung immediately eased his lips back from him, shaking his head with his eyes closed, "We've never - Not this together. A-Afraid I'll hurt -"

"I'm ready."

Taehyung opens his eyes, meeting Jeongguk's fragile stare piercing in his eyes, just as he reaches to the end of his shirt and eases it off his body. They've seen each other naked various of times, but never like this before. Never with Taehyung's gaze intensively looking over the stiff muscles beneath his soft skin, contouring his body in define lines that made every bone in Taehyung's body shiver brutally.

His tongue slowly licks his lips, filling him with hunger.

"I want this with you Taehyung," Jeongguk whispers, snapping Taehyung eyes back to his own dark gaze, "Please."

And so Jeongguk leans, pressing their lips back together with his hands on Taehyung's jaw, soft and so delicate. A fierce quiver trembled over every cell in Taehyung's body, Jeongguk could feel it in his fingertips - the hesitation, unease, yet the hunger.

His animalistic hunger.

And he began to lose control over it.

Taehyung lets his large hands snake around Jeongguk's waist, nails clawing against his skin with the restraint of letting his actual claws from easing out his fingertips - knowing he will hurt him if he did so. He fiercely growls under his breath, the sound traveling through Jeongguk's mouth that choked a whimper out of him. The noise was what lead Taehyung to abruptly push Jeongguk back against the bed, pressing him down with strong hands harshly on his biceps, to keep him in place.

The kiss grew from sweet to steamy in a matter of seconds. Jeongguk's touch on Taehyung's skin was like fire tracing over every line and curve of his body, pulsating that hunger to rage as he grew uncontrollable to those urges. His teeth began to sharpen up slowly, his claws hesitating on stretching out or not, but the mere sound of Jeongguk's whine had them shooting out immediately.

And every humane thought escaped his mind.

Jeongguk became his prey.

His prey to tame.

Jeongguk subtly yelps to the grip Taehyung suddenly had on his hip, but Taehyung only turns him around roughly and bites his skin on his shoulder, a horrendous yet needy growl erupting his throat with his glowing eyes dimming a harsh dark grey.

"T-Taehyung," Jeongguk warily shutters, "Careful -"

A rough hand grips his raven hair roughly, forcing more shrieks out of his lips, now feeling the roughness of his hands easing with its claws now tugging on his pants.

And Jeongguk panicked.

"Taehyung stop!"

He didn't.

As though, he couldn't.

His lips were replaced by his teeth, and those human noises became hoarser and darker, growling in such a way that had Jeongguk squirming in hysteria as Taehyung's death grip on his hair never eased its touch - if anything, it gripped harder.

With both hands, Jeongguk grips Taehyung's wrist hard, crying, "TAEHYUNG! STOP!"

Taehyung abruptly cries out and lets him go, shuffling back on his feet so brutally fast before his back shackled the wall hard - breathing heavily with his eyes returning back with color as he grips hard to his wrist. Jeongguk's crying on the bed now, shaking so feverishly as he slowly curls to hug his body, fear slowly cruising through his veins as he hiccups in his breaths to fight himself to calm down.

A heavy weight suddenly settles down on Taehyung's chest, snapping back forcefully to his consciousness before choking in his own air, letting what just happened replay his mind torturous in horror, and for the first-time in his life - feeling tears also prickling his eyes to what he did.

His Jeongguk....

He would never -

He didn't -

He would never hurt Jeongguk -

"J-Jeongguk," Taehyung feels suffocated now, the tears now pouring out his eyelids in terror to himself, "I wouldn't - Please, I'm sorry-"

"Please leave me alone Taehyung," Jeongguk hiccups, eyes screwed shut, "P-Please just.... Give me my space."

Taehyung's lips wobbled, suddenly wincing to the burn on his wrist, not focusing his attention to the handprints on his skin, "Hate m-me?"

Jeongguk cries harder to the frail words, hands now to his eyes, "N-No just - Please leave."

"Never w-would hurt -" Taehyung grunts angrily to the words that won't escape his mouth because of the language barrier, crying to himself, "B-Believe me Jeongguk, never would hurt -"

"Taehyung, you mean a lot to me," Jeongguk suddenly chokes out, painfully with a wheeze, "And because you mean a l-lot to me, I just need to be a-alone for a moment, p-please."

Taehyung flinches to Jeongguk's weak tone, frowning in distress but with a nod before taking with him his heavy heart out the door, not before breaking out a sob to his hysterical partner on their bed - leaving him alone for tonight.

"Barrier sequence activated."

"Forcefield defense is on."

"Cameras, microphones, and speakers are ready to go."

"Alpha team is on standby, along with our Beta team, ready for your orders."

"Subject Jewel is in the perimeter, biometrics stable, Vernon is in the area, ready to release."

Dr. Hoseok types on the keyboard quickly, accessing the camera to where Jeonghan is levitating Jewel down to the smooth grass, keeping a safe distance away, "Jewel has just been place on our target, Jeonghan evacuating the area as we speak."

Taehyung watches from the broad glass window from the large tower they're in from the made barrier where Jewel is in, bright purple eyes scanning the area, "Everyone clear from surroundings, up to you now sir."

Jeongguk watches with attentive eyes as everything is set for Jewel's conscious to be awaken - No one being involved besides Siyeon, who's ready for the signal to start speaking with the plants to communicate.

And hopefully, this all works well.

Jewel is a being who belongs outside, stuck in a room and being force question will only infuriate him like how it did the first time.

They will get results, somehow.

Today will be the day.

"Then let's wake him up," Jeongguk orders, avoiding Taehyung's eyes while he keeps his gaze attentive on the screen with Jewel's face, "Vernon, release Jewel."

Taehyung frowns and looks back to the window, keeping his hands behind his back.

From the side, Dr. Hoseok eyed the two before focusing back to the computer screen before him, "Siyeon, you're on standby, get ready."

Everything is silent, completely silent, except for Jewel's steady heartbeat - thudding loudly in the vital panel to the side of the lab.

Waiting.

Just.... Waiting.

Until the waiting reached its end.

Tracing through the trees and dirt ground from the facility, Jewel's brown eyes suddenly shoots open, gasping a breath of air with his chest heaving hard as though he was given access to breathe. Jeongguk narrows his eyes, leaning to the screen, watching. Jewel stayed still on the ground, eyes moving around him with his nose twitching ever so often. The sun is caressing his face delicately like a soft hand running down his skin, soothing the shivers his body generates to finally breath calmly.

His heartbeat is steady.

Lungs breathing evenly.

Senses are active.

So far, everything is stable.

Jewel slowly sits, looking to his surroundings almost accusingly - debating whether what he experienced a week ago was a dream or actual reality. Taehyung can sense the thoughts going through his head - reluctant and near on edge.

It didn't sit right with him.

Taehyung looks over to Jeongguk, "We must make communication -"

"I know," Jeongguk huffs, pressing on the mic, "Sijyeon, you may begin."

A deep frown flickers Taehyung's lips, but he only staying focused to the agenda at hand.

Apprehensively Jewel continues to look around, managing to slowly get to his feet as he studies the trees and vines around him but then pauses to the clothes on his body - which consistent of it being a patient gown. 

Taehyung eye twitches to this, "Clothes should've been removed."

"You would've liked that wouldn't you?"

Taehyung turns to Jeongguk, seeing him still focused on the screen, "Doctor, if anger with me, please do express -"

"Jewel is our focus," Jeongguk mutters, glaring at him, "Stay focused."

Taehyung keeps his eyes linger on his partner with his pupils narrowing thin before letting out a stubborn animalistic huff as he turns back to the screen, aggravated. Dr. Jung continues to look between the two, grimacing, "Trouble in paradise?"

Jeongguk types on the computer, giving access Siyeon to the speakers, "Wouldn't kill you to mind your business."

A sarcastic snicker echoed out Hoseok's lips, looking back to the screen, "Looks like a storm is just brewing up, allow the sun to peakevery once in a while will you-"

"What is he doing?"

All eyes fall to the screen, watching Jewel aggressively tear his clothes off his body angrily, shrieks and snarls of a Baryonyx urging out of his throat as he rips it to shreds.

Taehyung grimaces, eyelids heavy as he watches this, "Told you."

Jewel now left in his underwear heaves over the shredded pieces of the clothes on the ground, smoke now oozing out of his lips before he breathes fire over the material - burning it down.

As if shredding it wasn't enough as it is.

Dr. Jung leans back, pouting, "How unfortunate, that was our latest design."

Jeongguk rolls his eyes and takes in how Jewel sways as he gets to his feet, picking on the underwear but huffs before his focus suddenly shifts to his long threads of hair. As though he's just realizing it reaches to the ground, he gently runs his fingers through the red strands slowly shifting back to brown, slowly tracing it to the ground as he picks a handful of it and drops it again.

Suddenly Hoseok looks at Jeongguk, "Seems like Rapunzel is getting curious, what are we waiting for?"

"Siyeon says she's waiting for an opportunity when he speaks to the plants," Jeongguk sighs, leaning back to the chair as well, "We just have to -"

A piercing screech echoed the speakers, forcing everyone to grip their ears to the brutal noise before it stopped. All eyes now to Jewel, who fell to his knees with his hair and eyes draining in blue, lips quivering and tears in his eyes to the clear frustration.

That noise is familiar from last time.

When he was in the room.

The cawing sound.

"It's a calling of the raptors," Hyunjin voiced out, reading everyone's though, "He's calling out to someone or something, trying to bring them to him. Almost like wolves when they howl."

Jeongguk frowns, turning to the red-haired man, "Who could he be calling out to?"

Hyunjin frowns, watching the way Jewel whimpers to himself, "His home."

Everyone faces the screen, just as Jewel forced another noise out into the open, this one lower register and almost heavier. Something compared to a last faint cry into the world, defeated but wounded.

To this Hyunjin perked an eyebrow, typing on the computer, "Ankylosaurus, he's trying different tones and languages to get a reaction."

"But the plants," Naeun suddenly says, pointing it out, just as Jewel switched to an apatosaurus tone - mellow, hummed, discontent, "He still hasn't tried to reach out to them."

"I wonder why," Jeongguk whispers, tapping his head with his finger, "Perhaps he only uses his abilities when he feels threatened?"

An eerie and near chipped noise suddenly tricked the speakers, eyes now to Jewel as he looks around hesitantly with such noise. Hyunjin muttered, "Coelophysis," before typing on the computer, "That could be true, but we don't want to provoke it so soon. He could feel threatened where he is. If he's anything like those species, we need to first make communication before deciding on how it does in certain situations."

"No, he scared," Taehyung whispers, purple eyes glowing, "Will speak to plants, desperate."

Jeongguk looks at Taehyung briefly, huffing under his breath before looking back to the monitor, "Then we wait."

Jewel looks around with his ears perked to any sounds, studying the plants and trees he passes by. Quiet, hesitantly, but hissing he would move around with eyes now shifting back to brown, walking through the trees and hunching over to carefully hide by bushes and flowers. Sniffing and touching things around him, he clearly is testing his surroundings.

He's clearly ready for anything to leap out and attack him.

One hour passes by like this, Jewel walking more comfortable and finding berries to eat and discovering a river to drink water. At one point he ended up climbing a tree, reaching all the way to the top as he gazes to the environment. Thanks to the forcefield, it created an illusion of a vast forest, never ending, hiding the facility from sight. Jewel didn't seem as though he was focused on trying to find anything strange about the place he's in, if anything he just looks around as though he's looking for something specifically.

It's obvious in the way he looks to the sky and trees, scanning attentively.

He stayed up there for a half an hour before coming back down to the ground, and finally his eyes shifted green.

Jeongguk startled in his seat, just as he was eating his lunch, "GREEN! HE'S GREEN!"

Those who were asleep or in the midst of eating also jolted up upon hearing this, all eyes to the monitor as Jewel leans to a tree beside him with his hand, gently caressing it.

Dr. Jung presses on the mic, "Status Siyeon."

Nothing was said back immediately, but then a hum echoed the speakers, "The plants tell me Jewel wants to know what happened to Earth," Siyeon says back, "Shall I tell him?"

Jeongguk frowns, feeling this heaviness in his chest as he stares to Jewel's sadden expression, "Tell him that he has been asleep for years, this is the future."

It was silent once again, everyone watching as Jewel looks around him hesitantly as though the message was communicated to him, his green eyes glowing now as he looks back to the tree.

"He's asking if anymore of his people are still alive."

Jeongguk looks at Hoseok, who looks back to him as well.

His people.

There were more of his kind alive.

Anwers one of this theory.

"Ask him how many of them were there," Hoseok says on the mic, eyes to the way Jewel sits on the grass, "And if he remembers anything."

Jeongguk crosses his fingers over his lips, his leg bouncing impatiently as he watches Jewel tenderly caressing the tree with his hand. He stops so suddenly, freezing on his touch.

What happened?

"The tree is speaking to him without my order," Siyeon suddenly spoke, "He's informing him of humans, the facility, the barrier around him - He's not happy - He's being informed that he's being watched."

Jewel suddenly gets to his feet, eyes now black just like his hair as he looks around, staring directly to one of the cameras.

Despite it being invisible.

"He's planning on causing an earthquake, the plants are willing to help him. T-They...." Siyeon stutters, "They see him as a king."

Jeongguk shoots to his feet, just as Jewel's eyes shifted back to green with it mixing with silver, his lip snarling angrily. The trees began to sway harshly around him, just like the Earth beneath him began to rattle. 

Subtle, building up its movements gradually.

They don't have time.

Dr. Jung faces everyone, hysterical, "If we're going to make a move, we have to make it now!"

All the scientist around them began to bark orders, whether to release Alpha to assist in putting Jewel down again or evacuating the facility with Beta, even throwing in the idea of involving the military - as if they can do anything to stop an Earthquake.

Through the chaos, Jeongguk only fixates his gaze on Jewel while rubbing his throat subconsciously as Jewel stares at that direct camera - Where he could still feel the suffocation from his last encounter with Jewel. There's something Jewel did to him, something he doesn't even know himself, but it's something that he is impatient to know.

What is Yellow?

What did he do to him?

Why is he behaving this way? Why won't be accept help?

"Wish for me to engage sir?"

Jeongguk snaps his eyes up to Taehyung, who's standing stiffly over him with gaze ahead - ready to take any orders from him.

After last night, the two haven't spoken about the incident - more so Jeongguk refused to talk about it. Taehyung this morning tried getting a word or two in, but Jeongguk was too fused by the memory to speak into details about it. 

He thought they were ready, that they could handle it.

But he couldn't.

The more Jeongguk looks at him, the more it settled in that this man is his partner - who's also a being from another world. They've never crossed boundaries like they did last night, and Taehyung himself didn't know it was going to get as bad as it did - or what could've been.

He would never hurt Jeongguk purposely.

They just.... Never spoke about the boundaries during those..... Moments.

Guess it's a blessing in disguise.

Now they know what they need to work on - Taehyung's own personal animal instincts.

So, with a heavy sigh, the scientist stands up and takes his hand, leading him out the lab - leaving everyone arguing over each other behind them. They're never going to get anything done like this, and Jeongguk would go insane if he stays in there a second longer. Taehyung doesn't say anything to him, since there's no time, and Jeongguk leads them quickly down the staircase and out the emergency exit to get into the perimeter.

Taehyung abruptly stops when they reached outside, yanking Jeongguk back, "Dangerous, you must go back -"

"We have no time for that!" Jeongguk bellows, rummaging through the trees with his tablet locating Jewel, leaving Taehyung with his words in his mouth, "If we don't stop him, he'll cause an Earthquake that'll probably be big enough to cause tsunamis and volcanic triggers around the world if he's that powerful," He hastily explains, the paranoia of the possibilty near frightening him, "If he sees the rest, he'll get violent. He knows you, and he knows me. That should be enough."

Angrily he can hear Hoseok and the other scientists blaring his earphone, ordering him to come back immediately, but he only continues with Taehyung through the forest as the blinking continues closing in on him. However, Taehyung suddenly got ahead, huffing under his breath as he runs faster.

He detected Jewel.

Suddenly he catapults himself off the ground, flying so high through the air before he armored his body and slams his fists to the ground the second he reached it - right where Jewel was rumbling the Earth, but stops when he jumps away when the trees warned him. The force of the land still sent him backwards but was caught by the vines before he could slam to a tree.

What a pleasant second date.

Taehyung slowly gets to his feet, squaring his shoulders with his glowing grey eyes to Jewel.

"Missed me, your highness?"

Jewel upon seeing Taehyung snarls his teeth, hissing brutally with eyes immediately shifting red before he jolts off the vines and uses them to leap himself off and towards Taehyung. Instead of fighting, Taehyung shifts aside quickly, resulting with Jewel crashing to the ground beside him, but that didn't last long before Jewel manipulated a piece of dirt to Taehyung's face and forced fire to his eyes. Taehyung immediately recovers before Jewel could land a hand on him like last time, grabbing his wrist.

And Taehyung grins his sharp teeth, tsking under his breath with a shake of his finger, "Not happening again."

Violently Taehyung shackles him forward before turning him around, keeping him in a tight and unescapable hold with his body and armor. Jewel thrashed and roared chaotically, unable to use his hands.

Yet that didn't mean he was useless.

With his feet he suddenly dragged fire through the air and attempted to slam it to Taehyung's face again, but the rustling with the bushes perked his ears through his assaults.

Jeongguk emerges from behind a tree, coming upon the scene to remain still.

It almost felt like Deja Vu, feeling the same feeling of fear quivering his body to the unknown specie being this powerful before his eyes instead of a screen.

Jewel's presence is simply powerful alone.

A aura reckoned to be felt and noticed.

However now Jeongguk already got a sip of Jewel's power, he isn't as afraid of it as he once way.

So, he raises his empty hands up, "I don't have anything on me. Please.... Let's just... Calm donw."

Jewel eyed him murderously, still struggling against Taehyung but the closer Jeongguk grew to him, the less he moved. Jeongguk stayed in place when Jewel met his eyes this time, taking in the silent message to not get closer.

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't move.

At all.

Just then a vine suddenly crawled up Jeongguk's body once again, provoking a harsh growl from Taehyung, but instead of the vine wrapping around Jeongguk, it snatched the tablet on his waistband before dropping it to the ground with a rock raising up and smashing against it repeatedly. Jumping back to the sudden action, he suddenly screeches to the unbearable hisses of noises going through his earphone with heat before he snatches it off his ears and to the ground.

Jewel's eyes and hair shifted silver automatically, suddenly grunting fiercely with a wave echoing his body that even forced Jeongguk back subtly, along with the trees and bushes, but remain still.

And suddenly it was silent.

Not even the sound of.... Anything.

Silent.

What did he do?

"Your electronics were invasive, I needed more privacy."

Both Jeongguk and Taehyung snapped their eyes to Jewel, who still seemed on edge but relaxed, before he looks to Taehyung angrily, "Let me go right now before I burn your body to ashes with your armor."

Immediately Taehyung releases him, now the two confused yet shocked by the voice and words coming out of Jewel's mouth - who only goes to one of the trees and softly caresses it, without another word.

He spoke.

He spoke words.

A sentence -

Jewel can speak -

 Jeongguk slowly blinks at him, "You can communicate with us?"

"Just recently," Jewel mutters, glancing to him, "Thanks to you."

The remembrance of what he did to him a week ago made Jeongguk touch his own throat, but Jewel only looks back to the tree, "I knew you two would come if I caused a disturbance, seems like these trees know you well," He murmurs, now looking to Jeongguk and Taehyung now with his full attention, "You both look like my people, but do not possess our ability, why is that and who are you? Before I decide to perhaps freeze you both to death instead.:

Still in a daze, Jeongguk couldn't find the words to speak, but thankfully Taehyung works quick in situations, "We are not your people," Taehyung states, enamoring himself, "Why didn't communication before?"

Jewel frowns, looking around almost accusingly, "Don't trust this planet anymore."

"Then why speak to us?"

Jewel looks to Taehyung, "You're powerful, Alpha," Momentarily his eyes shift orange but then looks at Jeongguk, eyes now diming to brown, "And you didn't fight me, and let me take your tongue."

Jeongguk furrows to this, acknowledging the way Jewel speaks in almost chipped sentences, as though he does yet doesn't understand the language to full capacity.

By how does that work?

How did he learn a whole language just by inhaling oxygen?

"So you trust us?"

"I trust to give what I want, yes," Jewel states, his gaze somehow dimming, "Closest thing to my people. Want answers."

"So do we," Jeongguk whispers, "I'll tell you anything you want if only you cooperate with us too."

Jewel is quiet, staring at Jeongguk with a pointed stare, just as a vine caresses his shoulder, almost reassuringly to his doubts, and he grimaces, "Forest trust you two, so I will only cooperate with you two. I do not trust, I survive. Feel not safe, will destroy everything and everyone in seconds. Yes?"

Jeongguk and Taehyung glances to one another, feeling the responsibility on their shoulders now but taking it for the mere trust they know they won't let anything bad happen to him. So they look to Jewel, nodding and Jeongguk extends his hand out, "Deal-"

Hastily Jewel scrambles back, hissing aggressively with the trees moving around them viciously to his reaction.

Taehyung places a hand on Jeongguk's wrists, looking to Jewel with eyes cautious before looking to the scientist, "Earthly ways not known. Animal, don't forget."

Jeongguk slowly looks back to Jewel, seeing this hideous glare in his eyes as he looks between his hand and his eyes - growling.

An animal.

He was raised to be an animal.

Hm..... Jewel.

What more are you hiding?
