Demigods | Minchan

Chapter 8

September 2
6:10 p.m

Minho slowly walked through a walking trail in Demigod Park as he kicked some rocks. He sighed looking up at the sky, it still being cloudy. It had been gloomy the past day, and it fit Minho's mood. As of right now he was supposed to be in the training field practicing archery, but he felt so lazy. It wasn't like he was bad at it, in fact Minho enjoyed hitting the target with Hyunjin and Felix. Minho stopped walking hearing some ruffling in the tall grass.

He turned to the direction the sound came from, and proceeded to walk to it. He yelped as a piece of brome poked his leg. Minho's eye lit up with glee as he saw a small black kitten prancing around the tall grass. The cat stopped moving, when it finally noticed Minho. Out of fear the black fur ball ran further into the grass. Minho tilted his head in confusion, "huh?" Minho being drawn to the the kitten followed it into the weed.

Chan walked along the same path, not knowing that Minho was in front of him. He was enjoying the soft breeze. The sound of a struggling coming from his right caught his attention. "Who's there?" There was no answer, but the sound of growlings and mumbling made him uneasy. He stuck out his hand, which began to light up, with blue electric rays forming into on lightning bolt. "If you don't come out, I will-" A figure jumped out of the bushes, causing Chan to let go of the bolt and zap the ground.

Minho yelled as he saw the flash, but quickly regained his composure. Chan let out a breath, rolling his eyes as he was able to identify the person in front of him. "What are you doing in there?" He examined Minho, worried that he was not here at his own will, or that he might have made contact with the bolt. He had a piece of grass in his hair, and as Chan looked down he noticed a lump inside his sweater.

"Me?" Minho questioned. He hugged him self, and for a split second his expression changed, as if he was in pain. He smiled and clicked his tongue. "Nothing. Never seen a man being a man?"

"....Well okay, you Man, you are covered in grass." Chan pointed out. Minho wiped himself off. Chan reached over to take the green streak off Minho's hair. Minho mumbled a 'thanks, ' and looked down.

Since the night he woke up in the Dark Forrest, he not been feeling like his usual self, and had to add Chan to the problem for knowing what was happening to him. Chan reported the incident to Jinyoung, and Minho was told to say everything that happened. Chan stayed with him, hearing the whole thing.

Little by little the words somehow got out that the son of Hades was already starting to loose it. Jinyoung promised he would not say anything and Minho believed him, since he had no reason to share that. If Minho wasn't already judged by other, this situation made it worse.

Chan hated to admit it, but when they were getting ready to sleep he would wait until Minho was asleep. Then wait a few minutes more to sleep too. At times he heard Minho talking in his sleep, although it wasn't loud enough to hear exactly what he was saying from where Chan was.

Minho looked up remembering that he had the kitten in his sweater, and had to get away so he wouldn't sufacte it. "I- Oh my look a unicorn!" Minho yelled with joy, pointing behind Chan. Chan not processing the words and only focusing on the emotion, looked back and search.... for a unicorn?

"A unicorn?" Chan turned back and saw Minho wasn't there. Minho was sprinting away and heading home. "That litte-"

8:00 p.m

Minho smiled as he played with to the small cat that was in a cardboard box, that was in the closet. He placed an old pillow he found as a bed for the cat. He giggled as the kitty jumped trying to reach the rope, Minho stole from Jisung. Chan just got out of the shower and walked to the shared room. He stood outside the door and waited for the right time to barge in to see what Minho was hiding.
