He closes his eyes, and in his mind, he sees you standing as you are now as your wings unfurl. He gasps in awe and amazement. Not opening his eyes, he says, "They are so beautiful and soft-looking. May I touch them?"
He hears you answer 'Yes' in his head. The image is so real that he reaches out, touching your right wing and gently caressing it. You sigh, and suddenly, the image is gone, and you let go of his hand.
He stares enraptured, saying, "Your wings are so soft. I've never felt anything softer."
You sadly look at him, knowing the time has come. Especially now that he knows who and what you are.
"Kim Taehyung, I have something to tell you."
He smiles his boxy smile at you, asking, "What is it?"
With a heavy heart, you tell him, "Kim Taehyung, my mission is almost complete. There is just one thing left to do."
He steps close, holds your hand, and dismally asks, "You have to leave me?"
"Yes, Kim Taehyung, another will be taking my place. I tell you this because I know you will also see his wings. But I need you to promise me that you hold that knowledge close to your heart."
He nods, agreeing, "Yes, that makes sense. No one believes me anyway."
You rest a comforting hand on his shoulder, telling him, "All that matters is you know."
He looks up at you and asks, "What will complete your mission? Can't you put it off and stay with me longer?"
He has become attached to you, always in the background when he is with the others and nearby when he is alone.
You know the spirit with you can't be put off any longer. She has waited a long time for this, the perfect time. She knew he had been feeling so sad lately, and it was affecting his life and career.
This is the last and only thing she has been waiting to do, and you are privileged to be the one who fulfills her heart's wish.
Kim Taehyung softly calls your name, "Caleb?"
Shaken out of your thoughts, you smile, hearing your name, and fondly respond, "That is the first time you have called me by my name. I like it better than hyung. You have so many hyungs and only one Caleb."
Kim Taehyung asks, "After all this time can you call me Tae, just Tae?"
You solemnly shake your head, informing him, "You are Kim Taehyung. I must keep it that way."
He frowns, causing your heart to break, then asks, "What will complete your mission?"
He is already feeling down. The closer the date, the worse it gets. His sadness has been building, and now, knowing you are leaving just adds to it. You can hear it in his voice.
"It is the anniversary of your Grandmothers passing and . . ."
Tae's smile leaves his face. He moves away from you, his eyes misting over.
He softly says, "I know what day it is."
"Kim Taehyung, your Grandmother wants to say something to you."
He jumps away from you, almost falling backward, shouting, "STOP IT! Just stop it! My Grandmother is dead." He bursts into tears and throws himself on his bed. "I didn't get to be with her! I didn't get to tell her I love her!"
