Rapt Pupil

Description

Jongdae had long ago made his peace with being a plain old human in a neighborhood full of shifters—he and Baekhyun will be best friends forever even if one of them is sometimes furry and the other isn't. But there's a new boy at school, and in addition to being ridiculously attractive he also seems to think that Jongdae is a shifter whether he knows it or not.

Foreword

Written for ExZoo fest, prompt #S007:
Shapeshifters aren't uncommon in society. Jongdae's best friend is a shapeshifter. What's strange is a new person in their school who asks Jongdae what his "other form" is. Apparently, it's obvious that Jongdae is a shapeshifter who just chooses to live as human. News to Jongdae. Turns out his parents found him as a baby [other form] and never told him or taught him how to shift
Prompter would prefer: Jongdae learning to shift from his new friend (who's a better teacher than his best friend); Kim parents having good reason for not telling him his origins; increasingly dark atmosphere. This was really fun to write! I hope you enjoy guessing what Jongdae's other form is along with the characters.

Chapter 1: Oh, wow, this was such an original concept, I am completely offended that you didn't expand it into a multi-chaptered story. ?
It was very interesting trying to guess what kind of creature Jongdae would shift into, I was thinking dragon, then phoenix, I never even considered dinosaurs, hahaha! When Jongdae and his dad were captured and had that telepathic talk and then his talk with Minseok saying goodbye you actually made me cry! ?
All the characters (minus Chanyeol, in my opinion) were fairly developed for being a one chapter story, and I am dying for more about this little universe, even more so because I know there won't be more!!!
Anyway, I think that's all I wanted to say, my tantrum is done, and as always, thank you for sharing with us.
