Stars & Golden Feathers

Chapter 19

Jisung's P.O.V

Jisung silently takes Minho's hand in his own and gives it a little squeeze, the ring on his finger pressing against both of their hands. Minho slowly turns his head toward Jisung, and Jisung can see the pain in his eyes, the golden orbs, which are usually shining and glittering, are now dull and matte. "Let's go somewhere else," He whispers and gently pulls Minho's hand. Minho reluctantly follows.

They walk in silence for a few minutes with no destination in mind.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Jisung carefully asks after some time. Minho shakes his head and looks at the floor. Jisung squeezes his hand reassuringly, "Okay."

They fall back into silence before Jisung gets an idea. He startles Minho by quickly pulling him toward the entrance to the castle. He greets the guards as they bow at the couple. "Jisung, Where-" Minho clears his throat, "Where are we going?"

"You'll see," Jisung grins. They take flight, and Minho follows Jisung who leads the way.

Minho's P.O.V

"The school?" Minho asks a little out of breath when the big building comes into their line of sight. They have been flying for what feels like hours, and now that Minho can see their destination he can confirm that they, in fact, have been flying for hours - or at least an hour and a half.

"Yes!" Jisung glances at Minho with a smile on his face. Minho smiles back, his mood has greatly increased just by seeing the familiar building, and of course his boyfriend's dazzling smile.

They safely land in front of the entrance to the school, and they walk toward the door, "Wait!" Jisung says and holds a hand in front of Minho. He continues walking toward the door while Minho looks at him with a raised eyebrow. Jisung opens the door and bows before saying, "Your Majesty," Minho scrunches his face in disgust before bursting into laughter, Jisung begins laughing shortly after, "Sorry, I couldn't resist." He says in between laughs.

"I know. I'm irresistible," Minho says with a smirk and walks past Jisung who hits him on the shoulder. Jisung follows close behind him while they walk through the hallways.

They stop walking when they get to the principal's office, Minho suggested that it would be a good idea to let Mr. B know that they are visiting.

When they open the door, they expect to see a short, chubby guy with red hair and miniature wings sitting at the desk. But instead, they see a slightly taller, slim guy with red hair and normal-sized wings.

"Chan?" They say in unison, the angel in question snaps his head toward them before a blinding smile spreads across his features.

"What a lovely surprise! How are you two doing?" Chan says as he stands from his chair to greet the confused couple.

"We're fine, but- why are you in here? And where's Mr. B?" Jisung asks.

Chan looks confused for a second, "I guess I have some explaining to do. A lot has happened while you two were gone." He scratches the back of his neck.

"I've only been gone for, like, a week. How much could have changed?" Jisung says in disbelief.

"Apparently a lot," Chan says and points at Jisung's hand, Minho looks at what he's pointing at, a shiny ring on Jisung's ring finger looks back at him.

Jisung is also looking at his ring, "Touché," He shrugs.

"That's basically what happened here too," Chan says.

"You got engaged too? When? With who?" Jisung lets a waterfall of questions fall from his mouth before Chan stops him with a light chuckle.

"No, I should've worded that differently," He pauses, "It's a long story, but to make it short, I was cursed by an evil witch-"
