I carefully walked along the stream to the meadow... sprinkled with dew, sparkling under the moonlight that weaved through delicate emerald wings, shimmering in the fine mist rising from the river. 

They quickly fluttered a few more times before the fairy, like a child learning to take the first steps, landed in the angel's arms with a loud laugh. 

Kai... you're alright... 

Taking a full hour turn with the bride of light, Amor's eyes smoothly met my stare with a comforting tick... making me close my mouth and blink... making him whisper, lips close to dark strands of hair as he tightly hugged the cheerful fairy. 

My Muse... 

"Taehyunie is awake..." 

Beomgyu let go of Huening Kai's hug to face me too, same relieved expression falling on his fair features, as they both walked towards me and imprisoned me in their warm embrace. Only then did I feel a bit of long-held tension fall from my torso. I leaned my forehead on Kai's shoulder and placed my hands on sides of their necks to hold them both close. 

"Welcome back...," Hyuka murmured, placing his lips in my hair. 

"How are you feeling?" Beomgyu's eyes wandered across my face I turned to him. 

"Thanks to your dinner I rose from the dead," I gave him a gentle thankful smile that shone with a bit of wit in my eyes. 

Beomgyu's lips curled up at the corners, gently revealing the rows of his teeth. 

"The same could be said for me and his soup," Kai complimented as well, causing Beomgyu to lightly nudge our chests with his palms. 

"Healers gonna' heal~ You should finally respect me more," he played a bit offended. 

"We definitely should," the light fairy's giggle mirrored in my frozen smirk for a while... until it faded in remembering why I came here in the first place: "On that note of respect-" 

I looked back at the couple I'd noticed resting by the rock on the way here, then nervously flicked my eyes from Beomgyu to Kai. 

Hyuka, could you please- 

"I'll go and check on the elders. Flying lesson is over, class is dismissed. Have fun and be carefull, Loves!" Clap.

Hyuka's intuitive heart was faster than my thoughts. Before I managed to finish the request, he patted our shoulders with a bright understanding smile and flew towards the sleeping Guardian and Archer, leaving my and Beomgyu's hair confused in the wind wave he left behind.

The air cooled a little and caressed my burning cheeks.

"What was that again?" quietly chuckled Beomgyu standing by my side, taking back my attention.

Now or never...

"It's - I need to talk to you, Gyu," I exhaled with the pressure on my chest.

Talk to me? The slightly worried spark glowed back into Healer's eyes as he replayed the tone of my voice in his head. Then he reached out his hand to mine and took it with a certain patient kindness.

"Let's take a walk," he suggested and bit on his lip.

Walking by the river, the screeching of the pebbles under our bare feet became somehow louder than the water slowly flowing towards us. Louder than the night birds singing the songs of gloomy nightmares.

"The wings - they are stunning, you really deserve them... They belong to you," I whispered, trying to compliment him first alike a kid cleaning the mess after it does some mistake that's gonna be revealed very soon.
