Guardian Angel Assignment: Kim Taehyung

Shh, My Little Winter Bear

 Kim Taehyung turns to look at you, "Leave me alone. I don't like you anymore."

You sit beside him and softly place your hand on his back, "Close your eyes, Kim Taehyung, and listen."

Still crying, he keeps his eyes closed, "What am I listening for?" Then he hears it, her voice.

"Shh, my little Winter Bear."

He suddenly stops crying, becoming very still and quiet. "Halmeoni?"

He wipes his nose, still listening. An image of his grandmother forms in his mind.

"I am very proud of you and have never missed a concert. Don't be angry with the Guardian Angel. He helped me speak to you so I could tell you, 'Saranghae, my little Winter Bear.' I will always be watching." The image of his Grandmother fades, and Tae reaches out, hoping to keep her.

He sits up beside you, "That was her, that was really her?" He wipes his face of tears.

"Yes, and she has been waiting a long, long time to be able to tell you that."

He begins to cry, and you hold him in your arms, gently rocking him. He falls asleep as deeply as a child in his grandmother's arms.

If anyone with angel sight were here, they'd see his grandmother holding and rocking him. You can hear his Grandmother whisper, "Thank you, Caleb," as her spirit leaves you.

Once Kim Taehyung is asleep, you lay him back on his bed and cover him. You unfurl your wings over his body, causing a golden light to surround him. The only memories he will have of you will be those from his childhood.

"Sleep well, assignment Kim Taehyung. I will miss you." You fade from view, cloaked in celestial invisibility, yet you don't leave his room.

 You are trying to put off leaving him as long as you can, with memories of your time with him drifting into your mind. You wait for his new Guardian Angel to arrive. A voice pulls you out of your memories.

"Caleb, I know how much you care for him. Would you like to stay and watch over him with me tonight? You can tell me more about him." He gently places his hand on your shoulder.

 You look at him, "Thank you, I would like that."

You smile at the Guardian Angel Isaac, "I have many stories to tell you of him." 

You look fondly back at Kim Taehyung, "One of my favorites is the story of when he makes his TaTa Mic Face."

Isaac bursts out laughing after hearing it. "He ate the paper?" you nod, grinning.

You tell Isaac several more stories about Kim Taehyung.

 "I look forward to protecting and watching over Kim Taehyung. Thank you, Caleb." 

Your time with him is quickly coming to a close. You don't want to change assignments. His childlike view of the world and soft heart made him one of your favorite charges. But your heart is becoming too involved, and you have to go. You release a pent-up sigh of resignation.

"What is wrong, Caleb?"

"He sees me for who I am, his Guardian Angel, and it is causing too much strife and worry amongst the members."

"They know? Can they see you too?" he asks, surprised.

"No, no." You sigh. "It is because they don't see me that is the issue. They are concerned for his mental well-being. It is one of the reasons I am being given another charge."

"But won't he see my wings and know I am his Guardian Angel?" he asks, concerned about how this will affect his assignment.

"No, our Guardian Archangel has made it where he can not see you. But he may feel you and look in your direction."

Guardian Angel Isaac nods in understanding.

They quietly watch over Kim Taehyung as he sleeps through the night.
