A U T H O R

The moon was shining in the dark sky. Everywhere was dark. But one thing was the main topic: an accident. And not just any accident, but of a very famous young CEO named Kim Seokjin.

Police cars and ambulances appeared, their alarms filling the silence of the streets. The people were gathered around the two cars that collided fatally.

The two injured people, Seokjin and the person in the other car, were immediately taken away by the medical crew. The sounds of ambulances and police crews never stopped.

Seokjin could only vaguely hear shouting and crying, but he couldn't open his eyes. He was weak.

When they arrived at the hospital, he was taken urgently in the operating room. But the doctors could not save him.

S E O K J I N

I feel weird. I opened my eyes and stood up just to see my pale body covered with a white bedsheet.

What's going on?

I looked down at my hands and the sight creeped me out. I could see through my hands.

I noticed a mirror right above a sink so I made my way there. But I couldn't see myself in the mirror.

Just as I was about to move away from the mirror, I heard a whisper behind me. I turned around and saw a floating light. I approached it slowly, extending my hand towards it, but when I was about to touch it, it disappeared. This time I heard another whisper, this one coming from the direction of the door to my right. Another floating light.

I thought that maybe they wanted to guide me somewhere, so I followed them one by one. I didn't need to open any doors, I was passing directly through them.

Finally, the last light stopped next to a tree in the hospital garden. I looked at the light a little confused, until it entered the tree. I was thinking if I should stay where I was or go after it. In the end, I entered too.

But what surprised me more was that inside the tree was a sky. I was standing on a small cloud, and in distance I could see something like a huge gate on another cloud. The light resumed its path, heading for that gate. I stepped forward without thinking and was fascinated by the fact that with each step, a small cloud appeared under my bare feet.

After a few good minutes, I was facing the gate. The light whispered something before disappearing completely.

The gate was gigantic, made of pure gold, I could tell. But it was made only of gold bars. The portions were decorated with a few diamonds, which made the gate look even more splendid than I could have imagined.

I made my way to that gate, where in front of it stood an incredibly beautiful young lady.

She had long dark hair down to her waist, curled in light waves. She was wearing a white and wide dress, long to the ground, but with bare shoulders. In her feet she had some heeled sandals that fit her perfectly considering that she is quite small in stature. In her ears she had golden earrings in the shape of angel wings, which hung down to her jaw line. It was inevitable that I wouldn't be able to see her splendid angel wings. This made me wonder; is she a real angel?

"Hi!" she greeted me with a warm smile.
"You're Kim Seokjin, right?" her question stunned me, but I didn't want to be discourteous.

"Hi! Yes, I'm Kim Seokjin. May I ask who are you and how do you know my name?" I answered her question before asking her one myself.

"Well Seokjin, I'm Kim Jisoo, one of the guardians and angels of this place. You're now facing the Gates of Heaven. I'm sorry to inform you but you were one of the victims of a car accident and the doctors couldn't save you." she said showing some pity.

"So I'm gonna live in Heaven?" I asked.

"Well, it's temporary. You'll live for some days until the Court and He will decide whether you should live in Heaven or not. For now, you'll live in a separated place from the others, along with other people who are waiting their sentences. Please follow me" she explained to me.

She slowly opened the gates to reveal a gorgeous place like a 'modern' kingdom, along with a palace. But she took me to another path, somewhere which looked like a hotel, but better than any I have seen in my entire life.

"Here we are. Take this-" she handed me a pass card  "-and find your room. Please make yourself feel like home. And don't be scared. He loves every each of us, no matter what. And I'll also be here to guide you, I'm your guardian angel after all." she said but I wasn't actually paying attention to her words. She's too gorgeous not to look at her in awe like that.

She gave me another warm smile and left. Gosh, her smile could melt my heart.

Like that, I was left alone in front of that giant hotel, staring at my pass card.

Even after death, I still have a long path to follow.
