ROAMING THE EARTH | JYH

14. I want to remember you

ஓ๑♡๑ஓ

"This is where you live?" Seonghwa gasped, dropping his bags on the floor while eyeing my apartment with wide open eyes and disgust on his face "You filthy-"
"Say that and I'll make sure you sleep outside in the back of the building next to the trash cans!" I pointed at him before plopping myself on the couch, running my hands over my face.

After our date at the beach that night, I haven't mentioned what we talked, not even once. I wanted the small amount of time he had on Earth to be peaceful.

We spent the past week in Busan visiting the area, with Seonghwa tagging along like a puppy. In the small amount of time we were alone I interrogated Yunho learning that he's way older than I thought, hundreds of years old actually, apparently the aging process is really slow for them. That he does look like this and it's not a mask for me, and that living up there is nice when you don't have responsibilities, which he in fact didn't have, not as many as his brother at least.

Also, I learned that he's not actually God's son, but the son of an archangel who's name slipped my mind right after he told me. He doesn't have a favorite color or favorite food, he's not picky about anything and open to try new things all the time, and that he has a golden retriever which everyone says it's like his brother more than his actual brother. And he also told me he has lots of friends, which made me feel uneasy for a reason. The thought that angels are in fact real scares the shit out of me.

"This apartment needs a deep cleaning! I'm not even joking, disinfestation even!" Seonghwa scoffed fidgeting in his place.
"You get what you get. It's either this or the streets" I needed to remind him about my generosity. It's not even that bad, he's just a clean freak. I have to admit I'm not like him, I don't even have the time for that since I work all day and usually catch up with my sleep in the weekends, but it's not as bad as he makes it.

"I'll call mom and tell her I need to move sooner, I can't live like this" He whined
"Perfect, I'm glad we settled that" I approached him patting his chest "Oh and see that spider on the wall? Don't kill him, he's my friend" I whispered in his ear raising myself on tippy toes "Sleep tight buddy" I laughed walking away, seeing the horror in his eyes as he faked a cry out loud.

I entered my bedroom and plopped on my back on the bed with one arm resting over my eyes. We arrived back home late in the night and I was exhausted.

"Tired?" I flinched looking over my back at Yunho who was standing there, his tall figure towering me.
"Yeah" I raised myself on my elbows "Can you do that thing with your fingers and-"
"Depends what you're talking about" He smirked back at me

"You-you idiot" I stuttered and cussed myself mentally for doing so "I was talking about changing your clothes snapping your fingers" I looked away, my cheeks reddening.
"Oh, that. Yes of course" He laughed looking at my flustered reaction "Why?"

"Can you do that to other people? I'm too tired" I said slowly glancing back at him.
"Sure" He did as I asked him and in the next second I felt the smoothest baby pink silk pajamas brushing against my skin. I looked at the clothes in awe touching the material "This is amazing. What else can you do?" I stood up crossing my legs under my body as he changed himself in a matching pair of pajamas just like the ones I was wearing.

"Cringe" I said faking a gag.
"Come on, it's cute you have to admit it" He sat on the bed mimicking my position "I can do a lot of things. I can make whatever I wish for to appear or disappear-"
"Can you make him disappear?" I pointed excitedly towards the door leading back to the living room where Seonghwa was probably shitting his pants right now.

"No" He laughed "I can't make people disappear, but-" He made a move with his index finger for me to lean closer as he whispered "I can make them see whatever I want them to see" He flashed me his pearly white smile and I felt the proximity of our bodies.

"Lame" I said nonchalantly straightening myself "What else?" I asked, curious to whatever else he was capable of.
"I can stop time, I can cast illusions, I can make myself appear and disappear, I can provoke accidents as you already know, and-" He paused looking at me as a pained smile tugged at his lips "I can erase memories. Good or bad" He whispered and that's when I realized.

"I will forget you once you're gone?"
"Only if you want to"

Our voices were only whispers. My eyes were suddenly glistening with tears, as his mimicked mines. I wiped them fast, snuggling myself under the sheets, turning the lights off. "Good night Yunho" I said slowly.

I don't want to forget you. I don't want to forget who gifted me the flowers hidden in my closet. I don't want to forget the person who hold my hand under a lit up sky on the beach. The words were there on my lips but never left my mouth.
