Taekjoo was surprisingly good at following the map and Ciarda had described how the "travel agency " looked like, which made things easier.

He found the travel agency and bought a ticket on the next plane out of the country which was 6hours from now.

He actually used the written instruction book Ciarda had made for him, and did excatly what was written.
"if a 'taxi' stops tell them you're going to the travel agency."
Everything was going too fast for him but he'll be fine.

He kept replaying the instructions Ciarda had left him, he's been through enough. he just wants to rest.

He sat on a bench bear holding his back pack so as not to get robbed.
He memorised the whole book in 3hours but we wasn't sure of the time

Beside him a lady sat watching her kid play with other children.

"Hello huma- I mean hello Miss" Taekjoo greeted

"Oh good Afternoon, how can i help you." The lady had ginger hair and freckles.

"Please do you have any idea of what the time is" Taekjoo asked politely.
The lady checked her watch

"It's 4:15pm" the lady answered
"Thank you ... um if you don't mind where do that sell those?" Taekjoo asked the lady pointing at her wrist watch.

"Oh they sell watches over there. That shop right before the ice cream cart "

"Thank you" Taekjoo thought it was best if he got one.

Walking towards the shop he sensed something.... A demon.

He rushed inside the shop squatting and then taking a peep.

It was the demons that work at Dimitri's they had the same uniform. They walked past the store

"Oh dear lord" Taekjoo panicked

"Hello there, can i help you?" A young man approached Taekjoo

"I'd like a watch please " Taekjoo didn't want to seem suspicious so he played cool.

"Those guys after you?" The young man crossed his arms making Taekjoo swallow.

"Sigh, you're paying extra. Follow me"
The boy led Taekjoo through a door.
Inside the room, there were alot of fancy watches.

"Okay take your pick and I'll help you sneak out only if you'll pay double"
The boy offered and Taekjoo gave a nod of affirmation.

"I'll take this" Taekjoo handed a watch to the boy
"Damn bro, you got good eyes but it'll cost ya, let me fix the time" the boy starts setting the watch.

"You own this big place?" Taekjoo looked around the big space covered in nothing but watches.
"Nah my old man does, he's at the bank depositing some money"

Taekjoo had none of the idea what the boy was talking about but decided to stay quiet.

But the unexpected happens as Taekjoo's back starts so hurt and it was painful as fuck.
"Arrrrggg" he groaned in pain trying to catch his breath, kneeling.

"Woah whoa dude you can't die in here okay?, maybe i should call for help"
Taekjoo held his leg to restrict the boy from moving"

"I'm fine ArrrrGGhh it hurts. Please don't tell anyone please" Taekjoo begged.
He knew if the boy take him outside the demons outside might take him back to the hotel.

"Okay so what the fuck do you want me to do" the boy was obviously panicking.

"Hey" Taekjoo called the boy with shallow breath "hey come over her for a sec"

The boy stopped pacing around going near Taekjoo but not too close.

"Promise *huff* you won't *huff* tell" Taekjoo's wings were hurting for some weird and he feels the needs to bring them out

The boy nooded "okay I won't tell but don't fucking die here okay i don't wanna hide any bodies"

Taekjoo groans in pain tears rolling down from his eyes, the pain was excruciating.
He held his hair, his back starts to bleed and he crouched down again going on his knees.
The boy could see the view clearly since he stood on his feet.

Then with a swift motion the white wings came out covered in a bit of blood.
The hurt wing hadn't healed either.

"Ahh why did it hurt like that" Taekjoo hissed getting up, meeting with the boys eyes looking above Taekjoo's head.

Glancing upwards Taekjoo saw his halo, he had completely forgotten about it.

"What're you?" He took a step back
"Are you serious right now?" Taekjoo sighed, the pain he had to endure back then drained his energy. Literally.

"Angels are real?" the boy slowly stepped forward this time.
"Yes and if you're done with my watch give it to me" Taekjoo wasn't feeling well right now his back still hurt a little

"Why's there blood on your wings though and grey feathers?" The boy observed the wings without touching.

"There's blood? Kid do you have a mirror?"

"Yeah a big one. Over here Mr angel"

There was mirror at the end of the room.
Taekjoo walked towards it seeing his reflection.
"What in the heavens is this?"

Taekjoo's wings had grown a little bigger, looking closer his eyes ......

' they're light brown?, no they've always been like that. it's probably fine'

His hurt wing was still slowly bleeding, they had healed only a tinsy bit. It was a progeress, it'll take about a year and a half for the wing to stop the bleeding.

Taekjoo sighs looking away from his reflection.
" Question, will i go to heaven" the boy asked .

"I don't know kid, I'm not the angel of judgement" Taekjoo was having a slight headache "can you borrowed me a shirt.".

"Yeahh......buttt you're paying extra" the boy grinned

"Do you even want to go to heaven" Taekjoo shook his head making the human boy laugh.

The human boy went to get the shirt.

Taekjoo let's out his wings once more.
He saw few of his wings at the bottom were no longer white but gray and there was a single...












Black Feather.

A young lady placed flowers on a tombstone seemingly having a conversation with herself or talking to whoever was down under.

"Ah Damon, he looked so much like you. But he's an angel with brown hair and brown skin an you're a demon but you were a little tan with black hair and red eyes haha you should've seen him, so cute i even thought he was you sometimes. Pretty stupid huh"

The girl knelt down front of the tomb stone, her smile fading.

"Brother *sigh* i miss you but i won't visit for a long time probably because prince Zhenya would come after me. hahaha I kinda crossed him, to be with prince Galadriel. I know you don't like him but c'mon he's not THAT bad"

A ruffling sound behind her made her turn around
"And why wouldn't he like me, I'm literally charming. Don't you agree Ciarda?" Galadriel placed his hand in his pocket.

"You're an asshole with a handsome face" she chuckled looking back at her late brother's tombstone "okay big bro I'm leaving now"

Ciarda walks towards the elf prince
"shall we?" He asked. Ciarda nods and they left.
