“Mark hyung, please don’t cry. Look, you can play with my toys.” Chenle sat down next to his older friend, offering him a collection of his favorite toys. Xiaojun was sitting at his other side, holding his hand but the poor boy’s tears didn’t stop. A very awkward and uneasy Renjun was seated on the couch, trying to stop Jaemin from hugging him to death.
“Yuta hyung was so angry at Johnny hyung. He yelled and I really got scared.” Jeno was rubbing his teary eyes, cuddling close to his Doyoung hyung.
“I know, baby. Everybody is a bit angry and sad right now…let’s not think about that anymore.”
“Kun hyung…my dad was really scary and really mean to Ten hyung. What if he doesn’t want to come back? I really love my hyung and I-I want him back.” Kun sighed deeply as he sat down and opened his arms, ready to give the boy all the comfort he needed. He really wanted to tell Mark that Ten was coming back but he wasn’t so sure about it. It was clear that the poor hybrid had been mistreated…Kun couldn’t forget how scared and tiny he had been in front of humans. And he also clearly remembered how Johnny looked when he was angry…Yes, Kun wouldn’t be surprised when Ten would choose to leave the family. But on the other side, the hybrid was really attached to Mark… Another big sigh left his mouth as YangYang snuggled to his side, looking at him with his big eyes.
“Gege, you won’t leave us, right?” His eyes were filled with sadness with a pinch of hope.
“Of course, I won’t leave you, baby. And Mark…I can’t promise you anything but I know that Ten really likes you and that he wouldn’t leave you if he wouldn’t be really frightened. I can imagine him coming back to see you. But let’s not cry too much, boys. We already know that Johnny is feeling really bad for screaming and you all don’t want your hyungs to be sadder, right?” Mark took a shaky breath and nodded after using his sleeve as a tissue.
“So, since you’re so nice right now…who wants ice cream?” Doyoung smiled at the cute short arms which were lifted as high as the little boys could.

“TEN!”
“Tennie, where are you?”
“Ten hyuuuung!”
Johnny hung his head low, slouching his broad shoulders when silence welcomed them. It was dark, chilly and so quiet outside that it bothered Johnny immensely. Ten was somewhere out here, dressed only in a thin shirt and a pair of sweatpants which didn’t cover his hybrid traits. Johnny was feeling so many emotions at the same time; he just wanted to sit down and cry loudly. He was angry and disappointed with himself, felt sorry for his friends who were helping him, was anxious about somebody finding Ten before them. Well…to sum it up, he was so worried about not finding the cat that he felt like throwing up at any moment.
“Johnny, I think we should stop for today. Ten is scared of probably all of us right now and I don’t know whether he would come out even if he hears us. Maybe we should try tomorrow again, after he’s calmed down a bit.” Taeyong was looking at his friend with big, worried eyes, cautious about his words since he didn’t want to upset him more.
“I know…I ing know but I just can’t go back, knowing that Ten is out here.” Johnny rubbed his tired face with his large hands, hiding some stray tears that escaped his eyes, rolling over his handsome face.
“We know that, you big crybaby but Mark also needs you right now.” Yuta put his hand on his shoulder, lightly squeezing it. He was still incredibly angry but he nevertheless loved his friend and seeing him so shaken, saddened him.
“Yes, hyung. Hendery and I will look for him right after our shift, right?” Jaehyun tried to smile to ease the situation.
“Yeah, maybe he will even return until tomorrow.” Hendery was avoiding any eye contact since he himself didn’t believe his words. Johnny sighed deeply before he frustratedly run his fingers through his hair.
“Ok…thank you so much and sorry for this.”
“It’s ok…now let get the kids and save Kun from them.”

The ride back home was really awkward for Johnny. Mark was sleeping in his children’s seat, clutching his stuffed cat toy tightly, occasionally whimpering quietly. The father couldn’t believe how fast he got used to Ten sitting at his side, watching everything with attentive eyes and cutely twitching ears. Right now, the car seemed unusually cold and empty even though it has been like this for the last four years.
Johnny cautiously took Mark out of his seat and prayed that his son wouldn’t wake up, since he would be really cranky. After he miraculously put the boy in his bed without waking him up and tucked him in, he went to his bedroom to get his pillow and blanket. He knew that Ten wouldn’t just come back but, in the case, he actually does, he wanted to see him first and apologize a few hundred times.
The father knew that he wouldn’t fall asleep easily, so he went to the kitchen to make himself tea. As he waited for the water to boil, his eyes caught the closed door of Ten’s room. Slowly, he made his way to the door, stopping right in front of it. He opened the door, even though he kind of felt like he invaded the hybrid’s privacy but the father really needed some comfort right now. Johnny let his eyes roam around the room, not brave enough to actually enter it, until Ten’s desk caught his attention. Some pencils and papers were spread on it and the older quickly got there with big steps, hoping to find some information about his current stay. Johnny put some scribbling papers away until he found a large one under the mess. Tears pooled in his eyes as he saw the marvelous art work. “Happy birthday, Mark!” was beautifully written at the top and two and half faces were drawn under it. Johnny immediately recognized the picture which the hybrid used as a reference. It was a selfie he had took after a cookie baking session the family had some days ago. All of them were smiling brightly, sporting a happy look in their eyes and some flour on their faces and hair. Mark’s and Johnny’s faces were already finished, looking so realistic, that he had to double check them. Ten’s face was still in work, most of it was missing and the father realized in shock that it looked like he was vanishing off the picture.
“Oh, my lovely Tennie.” A small sob left his mouth for the first time that day, finally allowing his bottled-up emotions to be set free.
After some hours, he ended asleep on the couch with Ten’s pillow in his arms and a frown on his face.

“Welcome to Dream in a Dream” Chenle screeched as a couple entered the café. The small dog hybrid was very hyper to welcome every costumer personally. Xiaojun was sitting behind the counter, next to Hendery, trying to help the boy as much as he could. YangYang and Renjun were wearing aprons which were too big on them, helping Jungwoo at giving out menus.
“Hello, my name is YangYang and I’m four. Here.” The happy dog hybrid threw the menus on the table and waddled away, of course, not without stumbling after stepping on his apron. Kun sighed heavily at the sight of his hybrids but the customers were overjoyed with their cute servers. He really wanted to leave the boys at home like usual but after Ten’s disappearing yesterday, the boys were glued to his side, not leaving him alone for a second.
“Hello, can I have an Iced Americano, a soya latte and a blueberry muffin?” The girl squealed as Xiaojun scribbled on a piece of paper, writing the order down.
“That’s three million won.” He said proudly.
“No, that’s not enough! it’s one hundred, two, eight, seven, five million won.” Chenle nodded, satisfied with his price.
“9,600 won, please.” Hendery mouthed behind the kids, helping Xiaojun with the change.
“You guys are so adorable!” She exclaimed and took the money before going back to her table.
“Jinyoungie hyung, your order is ready!” Renjun shouted loudly after Jaehyun had told him the name.
“Thank you!” The man took the tray and left with a big grin on his face.
“Wow guys, thank you for your help. I don’t know what we would have done without you!” Jungwoo’s tail was wagging happily, hitting YangYang’s head in the process.
“Ow, hyung!”
“Hehe, sorry buddy.”
Kun left out a big sigh as the last customer left the café. He had to promise them that the hybrids would be around regularly since they loved them so much.
“Hendery, could you bring out the trash? We have to close quickly since the kids are coming over again.” Said boy nodded and took the two big trash bags from the kitchen. Ten was still missing and the whole squad had to find him before somebody else did. He pushed the metal back door open with his hip and walked to the giant back dumpster. It was already getting dark, making their search for the ethereal hybrid more difficult. Drowned in his thoughts, the Chinese boy heaved the first full bag and dropped it in the rather empty dumpster, repeating his action once more. Looking back at the time, Hendery still doesn’t know how he had caught the nearly soundless whimper, but he somehow did.
“Hello?”, he asked into the dusk, taking one step back because he had watched many horror movies which started with strange sounds. Hendery was met with absolute silence and normally he would just hurry back inside but something held him back.
“Is somebody there?” He tried to sound as friendly as he could since he didn’t want to scare somebody who’s hiding there. He crouched down and tried to peak behind the dumpster but he couldn’t see anything. It was too dark and he didn’t have his phone with him. Sighing, he stood up and turned around to go back. He was about to open the door, when an idea struck him. Ten knew the café…could it be him?
“Ten hyung, I saw you. Please, I won’t do anything to you. Can you come out?” He bluffed, hoping that his hyung was really there.
“Ten hyung, we’re all very worried. Please, come out. Mark was crying the whole day…he’s missing you. Johnny hyung, too. We all are missing you, please.” He waited for some seconds before he sighed deeply. With his head hung low, he pushed the door open.
“You…you…where’s Mark?” Hendery stopped the startled scream which was about to leave his mouth when the hybrid’s quiet voice filled the silence.
