Felix has accidentally been taken to Heaven too early by the angel Changbin. Changbin will be banished for that, would there be any way to prevent that from happening...?
Sitting in the corner on the floor with my knees curled up. Fade music playing in the background. Why do I exist? Just to suffer? Should I give up and end my pain?
I can't do that, my parents would hate me for it. They don't deserve to lose their child.
Then something happens, I feel two hands pick me up, bridal style, and without realizing I'm in the sky. I think I'm dreaming, what is happening? I open my eyes and look at the handsome face of a man. Not only that, but I see white wings behind him that carry us further up into the sky.
I turn my face and look down, immediately looking back up again. Holy shit, we're very far from the ground.
"Huh, you're alive?"
I look the man in his eyes, very confused on what's happening.
"Ehmm yeah?! Am I supposed to be dead or something?"
"You are, I'm not allowed to be seen by the living."
"Care to explain? I have no idea what you're saying."
"Not now, we're almost there. They will explain everything."
I want to ask who he means with they, but I see something getting closer. It looks like a city in the sky (see here the reference picture)

Everywhere I see people flying with the same wings as those from the man carrying me. Whatever I wanted to ask him is forgotten, as I'm mesmerized by the beautiful place. Everywhere soft lights, plants and a calming vibe.
Soon we arrive at a big building, it looks a bit like a palace. The man puts me down and gestures to follow him. We walk through the big doors into a hallway. I see everywhere people with wings and a few girls in filthy dresses, I guess they are maids here.
Then the man knocks on the next door and I hear a faint "Come in" from behind it. The big doors open and it is a big throne room. On the chair, there is a man. He's absolutely gorgeous, with the biggest wings that look like they give off light.
"So Changbin, care to explain why your person is walking beside you? Did you break the rules again?" says the man on the throne with a soft and soothing voice.
The man that brought me here, now I know is called Changbin, looks down.
"I'm sorry, I thought he was dead."
"I told you, one last chance. You ruined it, you're banished. By sunrise tomorrow, you will lose your wings and become a mortal to live your next years on earth. You have disappointed me too many times. Goodbye Changbin."
And with that two guards walk up to him, take one arm each and guide him out of the room.
In the meantime I've just been standing there not knowing what to do. This conversation was definitely not meant for me, so I kept silent.
"Lee Felix, sorry for this inconvenience. I apologize for his mistake."
"It's fine, at least I have no idea what is happening. Where am I? What am I doing here? Who are you?" I slowly start to freak out.
"Calm down." He laughs softly. "I can't answer all your questions at once. Let me start with introducing myself. I'm Chan, but you may know me by the name God. Although I never really use it. You're here in what we call Eden, but mortals call it Heaven. My angels take the lost lives and bring them here to live until they are ready to leave forever. You're not supposed to be here, Changbin made a mistake. I'm very sorry for him, he has never been a good angel. I will call someone to take you back as soon as possible so you can continue your life. Disclaimer: Your memory of today will be wiped so this secret doesn't get out."
I take a second to take up everything he just said. I'm in Heaven, standing in front of God. What the hell. (A/N get the punchline pls :) ) Then it hits me, I finally escaped my horrible life and then I have to go back.
"Please, I beg you, don't make me go back." At least it's worth a try to let me stay here.
"You're the first one to ask me not to go back to your past life. Everyone has so many things they want to do, you have such a long life to live."
"I was thinking of killing myself, I didn't do it because I didn't want my parents to lose me. I have nothing I want to do but end the horrible life I was living. But now I'm already here and I do not want to leave. Maybe that Changbin didn't really make a mistake, he just picked me up too early."
"Let me think about it. You will hear my answer by sundown. Have a nice day Felix."
With that, he makes a hand gesture to one of the guards. "Follow me." We walk out of the room and he brings me to what I suspect are the guestrooms and opens a door.
"Please do not leave this room without a guide, you won't be the first to get lost. Someone will pick you up to join for dinner. Have a nice day."
And then he turns around and leaves me alone in the room.
I sit on the bed and take a minute to realize all that just happened.
