AN/ I know I've been really bad about updating, a lot of things happening, and I'm still battling writer's block sadly. I hope posting 2 chapters helps, but one is normal (this) and the other is, well, smut. I hope this makes up for my lack of posting


Wooyoung

         I watch as San takes a deep breath, looking at me, and I can feel that he is fighting something in him. I want to know what he is going to say, but I already know more than a Hunter would want to hear.

         "My father is one of the fallen, an angel that became a demon. I inherited a few of his responsibilities, and his powers." he finishes, and I can see his shoulders relax a bit, though not entirely, I can tell he's been holding this in for a while now.

         "What do you mean?"

         "You said you keep seeing a shadow around, helping you and the others. That's my shadow, literally. I can make it take the form of what I want, though in some cases it is based on instincts." he explains, and I hug him. He flinches at the touch but melts soon after, I can feel as his arms wrap around me.

         I keep him in my arms like this for a while until he calms down. I take his face in my hands and kiss him lightly, when I pull back I can see a few tears on his face. I wipe them away and smile at him, causing him to smile back.

         "Thank you for telling me."

         "Thank you for accepting me. There is more, but I don't want to talk about it just yet," he says, looking at the floor.

         "It's okay, you don't have to tell it all now. All I ask is that you tell me first, so I can help you, okay?" I say and he nods, kissing me. I chuckle and he seems to teleport us somewhere, I look around and he smiles.

         "I have pocket dimensions, this one was where I would go when I wanted to be alone." he explains and I laugh, remembering what we had said earlier that day.

         "Well, it seems that we can do whatever we want then," I tease and he takes his time as he kisses me again.

Yeosang

         We were all listening and heard about San being Nephilim, but we are stunned into silence. When Mingi comes out and tells Wooyoung to go in, we stop hearing anything from the room. We all sit and talk about what is going on, and what, if anything, will change.

         "Well, knowing that he is Nephilim doesn't change my opinion of him, and it just means we have been doing well that he's never blown that cover on a mission. We haven't needed his powers outside of healing and shields." SeongHwa hyung says as he lays on HongJoong hyung.

         "Agreed, I mean all it changes is what his race is. We don't kill all races that aren't human, we just go after the bad ones." Jongie says and I agree with him. San is our friend, brother even, and just because he is Nephilim doesn't change that.

         All of us are shocked, but mostly due to the fact that he was afraid to tell us Then again should we be shocked? San has always been the type to think of what others might think first, and that he has been this way since he was a kid.

         "Well, we won't treat him any different," HongJoong says and we all agree, but after an hour we all go off to our own rooms, getting ready for bed, thinking on what we learned, hoping nothing comes of it.

         In the morning I walk out to the living room, seeing that San's noona is sitting on the couch, talking with HongJoong hyung and San. She points to his hand and things seem to change between them, but I go to sit at the dining table so I can get some breakfast. Jongie hands me some eggs and bacon before sitting next to me with his own plate.

:@:

HongJoong

         "I wanted to come and say sorry for leaving, I thought you'd be mad again," Haneul noona says as she sits with us. She had called San earlier and he woke up to let her in. They talked for a while before I came out. I smile, happy that they talked things through, but she points to my ring again.

         "You said that you got it from your father?" she asks me

         "You said that you got it from your father?" she asks me.

         "Well, kind of. I was adopted, and the only thing I had from my parents who put me up for adoption was this ring. Why are you so interested in it anyway?" I ask and she seems to sigh, leaning back on the couch.

         "Be careful who sees that ring, it's not just any old thing." she states and San agrees.

         San and Haneul are quiet for a while and nod before she smiles and says her goodbyes. We hug and she heads out, causing me a bit of confusion, but San brushes it off. Wooyoung comes out of their room, seeming to be a bit stiff as he walks to the bathroom, I chuckle and sit to eat with everyone.

* - *

         After everyone is done eating we head to the company, practicing as usual but I keep thinking back to what noona said about my ring. This ring is pretty odd, it's spun in strands, but it's made of iron, which you wouldn't think could be as sturdy as it is. I have run it into many things, and it's not even chipped.

         "What's wrong hyung?" Jongho asks me and I just shake my head.

         "It's nothing, I was just thinking. Let's get back to practicing, we have our concert soon," I say and he smiles, heading back to the others. I sigh and look at my ring again, but put the thoughts out of my mind so I can concentrate on practicing.

         We practice for hours, getting moves perfect, glad that we have had so much time to practice. I stop us so we can have dinner, smiling and laughing as we head back to the van, thinking of where to get food from.

         When we get home I notice Yeosang and San looking around, seeming distracted by something. In the dark I swear I see something moving, but San seems to rush everyone inside, and none of us argue. Once inside we are all quiet, San closes his eyes and I can see that he is concentrating on something. I watch as Yeosang's charm starts to dim down and stop vibrating, giving us the all clear.
