"But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds"
November 2018
It all made sense now.
Everything that Chan did, everything Chan had made so much sense to them now that Jisung and Changbin felt like slapping themselves for being so ungodly stupid when it came down to knowing who this man was. Sure, they hadn't been expecting a shaman that worked wonders, but now that the idea was put into their heads, it made sense.
But god, there were still so many questions, so many concerns, and Changbin wasn't even sure where to start, "So... this demon inside me-"
"He's not inside you anymore. He's probably off looking for another vessel," Chan corrected quickly, pouring another bucket of ice into the bath Changbin was submerged in so he could cool off. Changbin rolled his eyes, still a little irritated by the whole ordeal. Everything about this situation was overwhelming to him and he had no idea where to start really. The anxiety of what Chan had heard back in the forest still eats away at his stomach.
"Okay, so this demon," Changbin snapped, nose scrunched and eyebrows tugged together, "is trying to practically take over the universe so he can destroy the world but the universe is run by your mother and now I have to step up and do what you couldn't?" The last part stung. Chan flickered his eyes to the ground in guilt for not taking care of the situation properly but Changbin didn't mean to be so cruel about it. It just... it just sounded so insane! None of it made sense as much as it did make sense. It was a hard pill to swallow.
"Yes," Chan croaked, "I know it's a lot. I know," At the sight of seeing Chan so distressed and distraught, Changbin had the strong urge to reach out and grab his wrist so he could calm the poor man down but that day's earlier events still ate away at Changbin's brain and confidence, and it didn't help when Chan was a practical god.
"Your mother is a god?"
"Yeah,"
"And your dad was a human?"
"Mhm,"
Every reply sounded weaker and weaker.
"So you're half a god?" Chan winced at that question, and Changbin knew it was a bit more complicated than that, "Explain,"
"Haven't I done a lot of explaining tonight?" Chan tried to worm his way out of it, even going as far as to stand up but Jisung was quick to grab his shoulder and force him back down into the chair they had brought into the bathroom so they could all talk. Chan landed back in his seat with a huff. "I have a choice. I can't be half mortal half god forever, that's not how it works. I'll have to choose to be fully human or fully a god sooner or later. It's only a matter of time," Chan hushed, rubbing at his forehead for a moment. "I'll probably end up striking a deal with my mother..."
