chapter 11

two boys were lying leisurely on the cotton clouds, relishing the time they could spend together. they didn't talk a lot, yoshi asked about something which caught his interest, and hyunsuk gladly provided satisfactory answers. they laughed as yoshi made an account about his high school friends and how they skipped classes once which caused them to stay the whole free afternoon to clean and wipe the whole building.

"hyunsuk hyung?"

something in the way his name sounded in yoshi's kind and mellifluous voice made hyunsuk find his own name prettier.

"yes?"

he replied, rolling closer to the other and looking down at him, leaning onto his elbows and putting his chin on his palm. from this angle his human looked so breathtaking, surrounded by snowy white clouds, with his gold-brown, ruffled hair and detailed face's shapes. hyunsuk started gazing at the other inadvertently.

"have you been an archangel since you can remember?"

the untoward question appeared, which found the other a little taken aback. no one has ever asked about his life before becoming a celestial guardian nor hyunsuk has poured over it a lot.

"well... no, every angel or archangel were humans in their past. however, as we all lose memories before entering heaven, I can't say for sure. we got this basic knowledge from the books we have."

hyunsuk rolled onto his back again, immersed in deep thoughts. did he want to remember his life on earth? what if it would change the way he is right now?

suddenly he felt gentle strokes on his head. soon after the other's arms wrapped around him and a lovely kiss lingered on his crown.

"it's okay hyung. you don't have to remember the life you had, let bygones be bygones. you are here, with me. the present is more than I could ever wish for. I love you hyung and I will make sure to give you all you need."

"I love you too my yoshi. as your guardian, I will never let anything bad happen to you. ever."
