7. Naked

ஓ๑♡๑ஓ

I parked the car on an alley close to the house before proceeding forward. He was curiously scanning the area confused. This b- watched over me? What does that even mean? Rubbing my temples in circles and puffing my cheeks I breathed in an out in an attempt to calm myself.

"Explain yourself, and now! It better not mean what I think it means because if so, you'll be a dead man-angel before you step a foot out of this car!" I gripped his hoodie tight in my fist leaning closer to him.
"I-uhm" He stuttered and for a reasons or another this pissed me off even more. What is there to stutter about? I let go of him turning back in my seat.

"You saw me naked didn't you?" Anger was slowly jumping from all my pores "You did, didn't you? You pervert!" I yelled turning back at him slapping his arm with all the strength I had.

"Ouch" He hissed in pain "Jia stop!" He grabbed my wrist stopping me in place as I breathed in and out, the air stinging my lungs "It's not like that"
"Then how is it? Explain! You have two minutes, so speak!" I said breaking loose from his hold while crossing my hands to my chest.

"We-" He pinched his nose bridge sighing "We can watch over people. How should I put this?"
"Like, how? You have a big ass smart tv up there where you watch us and laugh at our stupidity?" I hissed back at him, the crease between my eyebrows going deeper and deeper.

"No silly-not like that. We just...can. With our eyes we can focus our vision and see humans. First time I saw you, you were seven years old. Again, I was playing with my brother to see who can find the most interesting human, and as we were searching I-I saw you" A smile tugged at his lips

"Well, go on!" I gesticulated with my hands
"You were on your front alley waiting for something. You were so tiny and adorable in your ballerina cowboy outfit, and I thought who on earth dresses like that, with a pink sparkly tutu and cowboy boots. I remember you were chasing your father with a whip and I couldn't help but laugh. Soon, the ice cream truck came and I remember you asked for mint choco but he didn't had any and you got so angry" A laugh escaped his mouth as I turned soft in my spot.

I remember that day. I was so ready to beat the shit out of the ice cream man. I know mint choco is not everyone's cup of tea but how can you not have the flavor a seven year old wishes for? That's just ruthless.

"You were screaming at him throwing punches over your father's shoulder when he carried you inside. It was so funny to me how a human being as tiny as you was so determined to beat a whole grown up. I realized then that you fear nothing, that you are a brave little girl ready to conquer the world in your sparkly clothes and cowboy boots" He whispered caressing my shoulder.

I felt my eyes glistening with tears. Rare were the occasions where I would let people see my emotions, but hey, he wasn't just an ordinary human. He's an angel for the love of sunshine, but even so I have no time to be weak and soft in front of him. I breathed in and out a couple of times running my hands over my face.

"Ok. I believe you. But you better have not watched me naked because otherwise-" I clenched my fist turning to face him. He grabbed it, caressing my skin slowly.
"Never" His soft voice calmed me in an instant as his golden brown eyes were shining with tiny sparkles and all I could think in that moment was how beautiful he is, inside and outside.

I better not be wrong about him too.

"Jia!" My mother squished me in a tight hug as soon as she opened the door.

Over the past fifteen minutes or so that we spent in the car I instructed him about who he was supposed to be for them. A coworker that happens to be a close friend as well. Of course the dumbass had to make things complicated as I was ready to find out.

"And who is this gorgeous man?" Her eyes widened looking back and forth between the two of us
"Mom, he's-"
"Hello Mrs. Park, my name is Yunho. I'm Jia's boyfriend, nice to finally meet you in person" He held his hand out slightly bowing as my mother's eyes started glistening with happiness. And me? I was nailed on the front porch, my wide open jaw brushing against it.

"Oh my, I didn't know Jia has a boyfriend, it's so nice to meet you Yunho!" She brushed his hand away tightening him in her arms in a warmth full hug.

I'm going to kill him.

"Well come on in the two of you, your father is already starting the fire for the barbecue" She liked her arm with his as they walked inside leaving me there, eyeing them shocked "Jia, close your mouth dear and step inside" She said over her shoulder not sparing a glance at me as she was way to enchanted by the angelic figure present in our house. Literally.

I shook my head in an attempt to wake up from my trance as I speed walked inside trying to catch them. Stepping outside in the back yard my mother was already introducing him as my boyfriend to everyone. And I mean, everyone. My cousins, my grandparents, uncles, aunts, even the family dog had to be introduced and a few neighbors. I pinched my nose bridge sighing in an out trying to control the anger rushing in my veins. Now this is going to be a long day. Longer than I expected it to be.

"Yunho, you son of a —— God"
