donghyuck and jaemin were back in the car, driving towards what donghyuck claimed to be the 'fallen forest', or basically, a place where dozens of fallen demons lived.

jaemin was a bit reluctant at the idea of going to this place.

it was full of fallen demons, beings with red eyes and shitty behaviours.

plus, they had to be criminals or just out-of-laws

donghyuck had reassured him saying that those beings didn't have powers anymore, and that he was stronger than any of them, but jaemin wasn't 100% convinced by this idea.

let's say he wasn't very confident.

"you've been awfully silent." donghyuck said, looking at jaemin while driving.

"hmm..." the human hummed, not really paying attention to what the demon had said.

"why is that?"

"hmm..." he repeated.

jaemin's thoughts were a mess at the moment.

the scene of his parents' death kept repeating in his mind, his vision of the demon that killed them getting clearer every time.

will killing him help jaemin?

will he stop having these visions?

will he be healed?

will NA disappear?

these questions seemed so easy, and yet it was so hard to find a decent answer to them...

jaemin hit his head against the dashboard as donghyuck slammed on the breaks.

the demon looked at jaemin with his arms crossed on his chest as the human rubbed his forehead.

 

"why did you do that?" jaemin whined.

"what are you thinking about?" donghyuck asked sternly.

"i thought demons could read the mind of their human." jaemin retorted.

"yeah, but i promised to stop using my powers on you." donghyuck poked jaemin's forehead. "and i'm a man of trust."

jaemin lowered his gaze, looking at his fidgety hands on his lap.

"baby... tell me what is bothering you..." donghyuck said in a softer voice, placing his hand on jaemin's lap.

"it's just... i don't know... the fallen demons... and the fallen forest... and just... my parents..." jaemin listed. "it has nothing do you with you, don't worry..."

donghyuck smiled sadly at his human's broken persona.

jaemin was hurt.

he was a boy full of traumas.

traumas that didn't fade so easily...

"come here." donghyuck said, unbuckling jaemin's seatbelt and his own before pulling the boy onto his lap.
