Tears of an Angel

Chapter 3

Eating ice cream in the middle of the night just took away what little sleepiness Sunoo had, the sugar stimulated his brain and body to create ATP that made him awake.

 "I guess that the ice cream made you awake," Sunghoon said, feeling sorry for him that they both can't sleep.

 "No worries, it's definitely worth it." He replied approvingly.

 After what seemed to be a conversation about ice creams, comes a dead air that makes the situation awkward between them.

 "I'm telling you the truth human, alright," He exclaimed persuasively, flickering his lashes to make it more convincing.

 Sunghoon didn't know what to do, he feels troubled at the mere thought that there is no end to this angel's antics and they would just talk about it tomorrow again.

 So he just calmly decided to go along with whatever antic Sunoo is up to.

 "You're really an a-angel?" Sunghoon asked while trying to sound genuine, he already feels that in order to avoid stimulating Sunoo's emotions, then he needs to be invested or at least act like it.

 "U-h huh, I am one of the angels of the four royal families. Unfortunately, the creator cast me away for being weak, making me a fallen angel." He explained thoroughly, and a sad expression fell upon his face. Still, it was a subtle one.

 Sunghoon didn't know what to respond, or what to say at this time. It's not that he didn't believe in religion but this is a new concept for him, the concept of angels is entirely new to him.

 "Do you maybe have powers like super strength or just something cool? or do you just have super cute?" Sunghoon said teasingly, he can only cackle after realizing what he just said.

 "It's not the best but I can make my drawings to life." He weakly replied not wanting to delve further into the disappointment.

 "That's actually mind-blowing, your powers are extraordinary. Thought it would be something common like I see in movies." Sunghoon complimented him even if he believes that this isn't true.

 "Uh-huh, thanks." He replied shyly.

 "And how do you use your powers? Can you use them right now?" Sunghoon asked wanting to crack a laugh after being entirely invested in this fantastical madness.

 "H-hmmmmmm not really, I can't use them right now because it's restricted. Although there is one way to synthesize my powers but I'm not really fond of the method." He explained thoroughly, his hands get clammy and his breath is starting to get hot just by thinking about it.

 Sunghoon notices his uneasiness and weird behavior.

 "Then what is the method?" Sunghoon asked to satiate his curiosity. He's too invested to let this topic go.

 Sunoo gulps before answering, his face blushes vividly and his lips become moist like cream cheesecake.

"[A Kiss]" Sunoo said while blushing.

A pan of thoughts eroded in Sunghoon's mind. First, how absurd is this idea of angels existing, the madness of this power concept, and this delusory method of power synthesizing?

 He wanted to laugh, cry, and slap himself. But he didn't want to considering how serious Sunoo is about this whole ordeal.

 "Is he saying this because he wants to kiss me?" Sunghoon asked internally, he wanted to blurt it out just to confirm his suspicions but this is unbelievably getting crazy.
