- A Beautiful Human Being by Taeil

"Hey hyung."

Jaehyun huffed as he looked at the boy on the bed.

"What now Renjun? You were supposed to have gone to sleep early today but you're still up." He said as he closed his book.

The human pouted at the small scolding. "I just wanted to ask you a question." He said as he looked at the angel.

"You've asked me plenty of questions before. Why can't this one wait until tomorrow morning when you've had your sleep?" He asked.

Renjun huffed. "Please? I just want to ask one question." He said.

Jaehyun sighed. "If I answer this question will you go to sleep?" He asked.

The human nodded and the older just shrugged, gesturing for him to ask his question.

Renjun smiled and sat up as he pointed straight at the numbers on Jaehyun's chest. They both looked down at the glowing red numbers.

6:11:28:20:47

"What about it?" Jaehyun asked as he looked up at Renjun.

"Remember a month ago on my birthday, when I asked you if you knew how I'll die?" He asked.

The angel nodded slowly, not knowing where this conversation with the younger was going to end up.

"Am I going to die by suicide?" He asked.

Jaehyun's slight smile disappeared as he looked at the human.

"Why would you say that?" He said as he leaned back in his chair.

Renjun shrugged. "I don't know. I'm going to die when I'm only twenty one so this seems reasonable." He said.

"But of all things why is suicide your first guess?" Jaehyun asked.

The human scoffed. "Come on hyung, you're with me every day." He said.

"You've seen what my school's like, what my parents are like." He said as he used his hand to gesture at his backpack and bedroom door.

"Unless something drastically changes my life for the better, I don't think suicide is very far-fetched for an early death." He explained simply as he leaned against his headboard.

"Don't think like that." Jaehyun answered shortly as he looked at human.

"So then am I right?" Renjun asked.

"Why do you keep asking me questions that you know I can't answer?" The angel questioned as he got up from his chair.

The Chinese boy pouted. "It's all because of those stupid rules." He grumbled lightly as Jaehyun walked over to his bed, pushing his chest so that he would lie back down.
