The Nephilim (; : נְפִילִים Nəfīlīm) are mysterious beings or people in the who are described as being large and strong.[1] The word Nephilim is loosely translated as in most translations of the Hebrew Bible, but left untranslated in others. Some Jewish explanations interpret them as hybrid sons of ().

[Nephilim in my story will be slightly different from the biblical representation]

"What?" Seungmin said weakly, Hyunjin could have sworn the light was snuffed right out of his eyes. He pressed his lips together,

"A Nephilim. Not quite an Angel, not quite a Human..."

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

No, I definitely shouldn't of said anything.

But if Seungmin was a Nephilim, that meant...

Hyunjin looked at Seungmin's dangerously blank face, and swallowed,

"You know... 'Demon killer Nephilim' from the second Angel Demon war...?"

Seungmin did not seem to be functioning, he stared blankly at the floor, shaking his head.

"No... I don't know.. I don't think you know... that. I'm not whatever that is."

Hyunjin reached out to put his hands comfortingly on the boy's thigh's,

"You're a hybrid, originally created to kill Demons in the war between us and the Angels-"

"Don't touch me." Seungmin stood up abruptly, untangling his legs from Hyunjin's,

"First I am a halfbreed mutt, now I'm some sort of Demon killing manufactured weapon?!"

Hyunjin looked up at him, he wanted to stand, to say something, somehow make Seungmin feel better. But waves of exhaustion were stopping him.

"No Seungmin, you're really rare-you're special-"

"You don't know anything about me Hyunjin!"

"I don't. You're right, okay? But blood doesn't lie Seungmin."

Silence, as the not-so-Human stared at Hyunjin with glassy eyes. Hyunjin pushed himself off the floor, standing slightly hunched in front of him. He waited, hands at his sides.

I don't know what he's thinking...

Seungmin looked up at him, brows drawn down in defiance,

"How would that even be true?! I'm Human! I never had any sort of Angelic powers or anything! Not even a bit-If I did, I wouldn't need you!"

Hyunjin flinched at Seungmin's loud voice, Demons had very good hearing, and he was standing pretty close to him. Seungmin didn't notice, he continued, throwing his arms into the air violently,

"So tell me Hyunjin, how could I possibly be anything else?" His voice shook.

Hyunjin didn't know what to say, so he just said the truth.

"Nephilim are born from a Human and Angel, so one of your parents has to be an Angel.... If I can just get in the same room as them I'll be able to tell-"

Seungmin let out a sound halfway between laugh and sob,

"You can't."

Hyunjin's chest ached. Confused, he stared at Seungmin, who was looking at the floor,

"Yes I can- I can Seungmin just let me help you-"

"No, you can't." Seungmin finally looked at him again and what he saw made him curse. Tears ran down Seungmin's cheeks steadily.
