"You didn't tell us you had a whole submarine Jisung..."

"I didn't even know!"

"And you also said nothing about how pretty Atlantis is..."

"I didn't know that either!!!"

"And you said nothing about that trident and your tail!"

"Oh-. I forgot about those. Sorry hyung~"

I just looked at the underwater world around me while Doyoung and Jisung talked.

It's so beautiful here.

I expected it to be, but this is even better than what I imagined.

I wonder what Poseidon wants to talk about with Jisung? It must be something important if he wants him to come all the way to Atlantis.

After a few minutes, we finally came across a huge castle in the distance.

"This is it..."

Jisung looked around, in awe at the beautiful sight.

"So this is where you would live, if not for Poseidon's predicament..."

"What do you mean hyung???"

I asked Doyoung, who was just as amazed as Jisung.

"The gods can't have physical contact with their offspring, or have them around for too long. If they do, they'll start to become more like us, and progressively lose their powers as gods"

"But Taeyong-hyung doesn't work the same way"

"He's different. For one, none of you are his actual offspring. But even if you were, that law wouldn't apply to him since he's neither an Olympian god or a high ranked god"

"Oh... That makes sense..."

"This is a little off topic, but just because he's a low ranked god, doesn't mean that the high ranked gods don't acknowledge him. He's done a lot to protect others, so they make sure to keep an eye on him~"

"Speaking of which, hyung did mention why he kept his identity hidden from us, but I think there's more to it. Do you know anything about that?"

"I would like to know as well"

Jisung chimed in.

"Unfortunately, I don't. But, if there's anyone who might know, it's Johnny-hyung. He was with him the most when Renjun was born"

"I see..."

"I'll park, then we can go inside"

Jisung abruptly changed the subject.

He swiftly parked the sub with ease, and we entered the castle to be met with a nice staircase.

"I never thought that Park Jisung would know how to "park" so well~"

Jisung smacked me for making that horrible pun.

"Anyways..., how come there's no water in here??"

Doyoung questioned.

"I guess they don't prefer everything to have water in it. But, I should warn you guys beforehand"

"About what???"

We both inquired.

"Poseidon isn't exactly like me. He's not very calm and god-like. He's more like a god version of Chenle..."

I don't know if I should be worried or glad about that.

Regardless, he led us up the many flights of stairs, and into a quite interesting room.

The whole room was above water, had nothing but glass windows along with some pillars, and the floor was nothing but water.

But even though the floor was water, we could still walk on it. 

"Jisung~!!! Glad you could make it~!!"

We all heard a foreign voice in the room but no one was here but us.

Instantaneously, a bunch of water suddenly erupted in front of us, scaring Doyoung.

From the water, appeared Poseidon!

He looks way younger than I expected!!!

"Hi dad..."

"Hey! What's with the long face?! Aren't you happy to see me~?!"

"I am, but I'm a little upset..."

"Whaaaaat???! How come???!"

"That entrance......, was so cool..."

I think all three of us were surprised that Jisung just said that.

I expected him to be embarrassed by Poseidon's enthusiasm. Maybe he is, but he just didn't want to say that because he loves seeing him happy.

"Don't worry~. I'll teach you how to make a dazzling entrance soon enough~!"

"Thanks dad"

He smiled.

"Oh! Where are my manners~? I'm Poseidon, god of the seas and all that jazz~"

He happily introduced himself to us, with such a nice smile.

"It's so nice to meet you"

Doyoung politely bowed.

"Likewise~. It's nice to meet you too Jack Rabbit~"

"You know me?!"

Doyoung seems excited now.

"I've heard a lot about you and Force 127 from Jisung~. He just loves talking about you guys~"

"Jisung, you're now one of my favorite children..."

Doyoung hugged Jisung, but he tried to push him off because of his embarrassment.

"And you must be little Renjun~"

"I'm so honored to be in your presence!"

I bowed respectfully.

"The pleasure's all mine~. Jisung talks about you and your other brothers a lot too~. I guess I made the right decision sending him to Taeyong~"

"You really talk about us that much Jisungie~?"

He only blushed more when I asked.

"I-It's not like I can just keep everything you've done for me a secret... I'm just really grateful, a-and I wanted to tell dad how much I appreciate you all..."

"Awww~~. We love you too Jisungie~~!"

Doyoung just hugged him more.

Jisung stopped resisting and finally hugged him back.

"Oh, right. Why did you want to see me dad?"

"Oh~, no reason~"

"Huh?!"

We all shrieked.

"I just wanted you to see your background~. You never saw it when you were born up until now, so I thought why not just let you see it now~!"

"You really did that, for me...?"

"Of course~. You're my only son after all~. Which reminds me~, I made something for you~!"

He pulled out a small crown out of nowhere, and eagerly showed it to Jisung.

"I know you don't like anything too extravagant, so I made it simple like this~. I hope you like it~"

He gently put it on his head, and Jisung's face immediately lit up.

He immediately hugged Poseidon, and I know that made him happy.

"I'm so glad you like it~!"

"Thank you so much dad~"

I wonder.

Is that what it's like to have a father that's there for you? Would I feel the kind of happiness they're feeling if I got to meet my dad? And, would the feeling be different if I got to meet my mom...?

Doyoung snapped me out of my thoughts by ruffling my hair.

"We're here for you, don't worry"

He smiled at me, as if he knew exactly what I was thinking.

"They wanted to be here with you, but it was a big sacrifice they made to bring you here. They wanted you to live, and gave up their lives for that goal"

He reminded me.

Still, I wish I could've met them..

"Thank you hyung..."
