When Jihoon wakes up he feels immense pain in his mouth and his head feels like its been stuffed with cotton. He opens his eyes slowly, the bright lights are harsh against his sensitive eyes and he brings a hand to cover them. Jihoon has no idea where he is.

The movement must've alerted someone because then is a sound of shuffling and then a voice to his left.

Oh, Jihoon youre awake!

Jihoon turns his head to look where the voice is coming from, blinking to clear his eyes, and oh, now it makes sense, hes in heaven.

He must be in heaven because sitting on the chair next to him is... an angel? The most breathtaking person he has ever seen in his life? Giving him a devastating smile as he moves closer to take Jihoons hand.

Jihoon did not think heaven would look like the inside of a hospital—or was it a medical centre? Something along the lines—but hes not complaining, especially when the angel gently moves his hair out of his face and says softly; how are you feeling?

Great now that you are here, he doesn't say. Because he is a gentleman and does not hit on angels.

When Jihoon just keeps on staring in a daze instead of responding the angel just smiles sympathetically. Ah? Does it hurt to talk? It's okay you dont have to. Here drink this. He says, pressing a plastic cup of water into Jihoons hand.

Jihoon studies the cup, he knows that he is being asked to drink but the question is how. The angel tsks at his reaction, but he doesnt look mad.

Aiyo Jihoon, here.

He helps him to rinse his mouth and swallow a few sips of water, wiping away the stray drops of water from Jihoons lips with the back of his hand. The action should make Jihoon feel like a child but he finds himself leaning into the touch, enjoying the attention. The water helped somewhat but he still does not know why he is here. Or why his jaw hurts so much.

Where am I? he says finally, because he needs to confirm.

The angel furrows his eyebrows. You dont remember? You just had your wisdom teeth taken out. The doctor said you might be a bit out of it afterwards, dont worry, we can leave after she comes to check up on you.

Oh, that made a bit more sense.

So you are not an angel?

Ange— Jihoon what even, this is not the time for you to be acting smooth.

And I am not in heaven?

The not-angel splutters. N-no? Just at the dentist, oh my god, are you listening to yourself right now?

Then who are you?

This makes the man pause. You dont remember who I am..?

Jihoon feels frustrated, how can he remember who this person is when he hasnt met him before? Because if he had, he definitely would not have forgotten him, even in another life.

Jihoon shakes his head, it is not relevant, because even if he did not know this person before, he certainly knows him now. He is so pretty Jihoon has a hard time focusing on anything else. Has anyone told him this? He should be told this, Jihoon will tell him.

He looks into the man's eyes and says:

"You are very pretty."

The man's face goes red so fast Jihoon is slightly concerned. Was that not the right thing to say? He seems to be flustered, but why? Surely he must be used to it? He must be complimented on his beauty often. It takes a few more seconds until the man can speak again.
