Seonghwa smiled as he allowed several people to pass into Heaven. Many of them had died from old age, a common way to die and they would usually die int their sleep, a common and peaceful way to die.

"Ok Hwa, you take a break. I'll take over", Yunho spoke. Seonghwa nodded as he unfolded his wings and made his way home. Angels were given a choice to live in heaven with god and others angels or they could have their own little home just outside heaven, still able to reach heaven if needed.

Seonghwa was a guard. He chose whether people could heaven or if they were to be sent to hell. All guards can see the good and the bad people have done in their life. If they have done more good then bad, they are aloud to ender heaven. But if they had done more bad, they were sent to hell for the devil to deal with.

Seonghwa reached his small house and walked in.

"Tomorrow is another day on the job", he muttered. It was tiring but he enjoyed it. He got to meet many new people and most became his friends. Seonghwa laid on his bed and smiled softly before he fell asleep.

The next day, Seonghwa again could be found by the gates of heaven.

"Not many people today for heaven", he muttered. He had let only a small handful of people into heaven while a large handful was sent to hell. As Seonghwa sat there, reading through a book, he heard someone come up to him. He looked up and his eyes widened.

"W-where am I"? It was a little boy. He looked around 5-6 years old. Seonghwa was speechless.

"W-where's eomma and appa? Where's home"? Seonghwa placed his book down and walked over to the young boy and knelt down next to him.

"What's your name"?

"H-Hongjoong"...

"Your way too young to be here"... Seonghwa whispered. He had never had a child walk up to the gates before. So he felt so sorry for Hongjoong. Seonghwa smiled softly as he stood up and held out a hand. Hongjoong looked at him and took his hand before following Seonghwa through the gates.

"Where am I"? Hongjoong asked. Seonghwa looked down at him. He didn't want to tell the poor boy he had died. So he decided to lie, hoping he could make the boy feel a little better.

"Welcome to Wonderland little one. A place of happiness and freedom. I'll be your guide through this magical place. It's a place people only dream of. But it's real". Hongjoong looked around as he smiled.

"How old are you"?

"I'm 6. Me, eomma and appa were in the car and we crashed. I woke up in front of those large gates".

"Oh"... Was all Seonghwa was able to say. Hongjoong had been killed in a crash.

"Is eomma and appa here"? He asked Seonghwa.

"I haven't seen your eomma and appa yet". Seonghwa then saw Yunho and smiled.

"Yunho! Can you take my place at the gate"? He asked. Yunho looked at him before his eyes wandered to Hongjoong.

"What's a young boy doing here"? He asked. Seonghwa looked at Hongjoong, who was busy looking around happily.

"He was in a crash. He was killed in the crash... I couldn't tell him where he was. I can't tell him he's dead. So I lied and told him he was in Wonderland", Seonghwa whispered. Yunho smiled and looked at Hongjoong.

"Hey little one. What's your name"? Yunho asked.

"I'm Hongjoong".

"I'm Yunho. Welcome to this magical place. We're happy to have you here". Yunho stood up and looked at Seonghwa.

"Look after him. A little boy like him can't be here alone".

"I'll look after him. Don't worry". Yunho nodded as he made his way to gate.

"Come on Joong. You'll love it here in Wonderland", Seonghwa spoke as he led the 6 year old through heaven. Seonghwa was now the mother figure for Hongjoong. He was too young to be in heaven. But he knew he couldn't take Hongjoong back. He had to let life run it's course. So Seonghwa cared for the 6 year and Hongjoong smiled everyday. He was in Wonderland.
