Angel | Jinsoo

⊱6⊰

I was heading to Jin's house, walking as fast as I could. True that I could fly to him but I chose to walk my way there so that I can plan how and what to say to him.

Soon his house made its appearance clear in my sight. I could see Jin in front of it walking back and forth biting his fingernail. He seemed nervous. But why? He always was so calm and he could manage every obstacle in both his life and after-life.

He noticed me walking towards him so he faced me.

"I have to tell you something."
"I have to tell you something."
We said simultaneously.

"You go first." I said.
"No, you go." he said.

We 'argued' about this topic for a while until he finally gave up and said.
"Let's go inside. I'll explain everything to you there." he said.

Entering inside, he gestured me to sit and so I did, being curious about what he had to tell me.

"So before I tell you this, please, promise me that you won't freak out. Okay?" Jin's words made my curiosity grow bigger.

"Okay." I simply said.

He sat down next to me and took my hand in his. It felt so good, not gonna lie; his warm hand covering mine.

"Jisoo, since I've came here you were the one who supported me unconditionally and I can't thank you enough for that. I want us to remain friends as long as we could but I don't think that's possible." he said and I frowned in confusion.

"Why is that so?" I asked.

"Because.." he gently squeezed my hand before looking down. He then looked up at me again. I could see some mixed emotions reflected into his eyes. I could read people well, and he's not an exception.

"Because I like you. And I know that's impossible and.. wrong but I still want us to be more than friends." he finally said as my eyes widened from the shock. He liked me?
"I know it's weird and I ain't asking you to return the gesture nor the feelings. I just wanted to make that big weight lift from my heart." he continued.

"Jin, you don't have to ask me to return your feelings because I already did that on my own." I said and I could see the happiness reflected in his eyes.
"But unfortunately, we can't be in a relationship here." I said.

"I understand. But may I ask why?" Jin said.

"That's what I wanted to talk about with you when I came here earlier." I said.
Taking a deep breath, I continued my explanation.
"He isn't against relationship here in Heaven. He cares about love. But the only way to be a couple with the person you love is to be of the same status as the person in question. And in order to do that, you have to be chosen by the Inner Circle. And you were. In case that you didn't know, the Inner Circle is like an parliament back in your world." I said and a smile crept on his lips.

"I was? How?" he said excited.

"Back when you first moved into this house, you fainted. Remember that you called me and I explained everything to you. But when you showed me your watch, I panicked and I doubt that you don't remember that. It's because.. You know, when mortal's souls are chosen by the Inner Circle, they get one of their belongings from their past life along with those pictures that contain their memories. So I got scared. And since my sister and her boyfriend are in the Circle, I asked them about this." I explained everything.

"Woah. That's.. amazing. But how do I actually become an angel like you?" Jin asked.

"Well, you will become one when the time comes. It's just a matter of time until you'll start to grow wings and not feel like a soul anymore."

"I have one more question though." he said and I motioned him to continue.
"You said your sister is in the Inner Circle. Why aren't you there with her?" he asked.

That memory. That cursed memory made its appearance on my mind again.

"It's because I've made the biggest mistake of my life back when I was a human." I said. I could see how he wanted to ask me more and more questions as I continued to explain. But I couldn't let him know everything this soon.
"I have to go. See ya later." I said standing up. That's when I realized that our hands were intertwined the whole time.

I just left the house, with Jin confused in it. Spreading my wings, I rose into the sky. Tears started to flow down my cheeks then drop in the air, as I flew to I don't know where.
