It's another day.
I woke up as normal, made my bed, and I smiled at the stuffed bear Shin made me.
I didn't even know he can be really crafty.
The bear is cute and small.
I was called to eat breakfast, after I was called to do some chores.
I noticed that Shin became too clingy and close to me the whole time I was doing my chores.
He would help me or even do it himself whenever he have the chance.

"Shouldn't you be doing your own tasks?" I asked.
"I already did them last night"
"Then you should rest"
He didn't answer.
I sighed and just let him do what he wants to do.

The day ended as usual.
After dinner we all went to our bedrooms.
I tucked myself in.
I drifted to sleep but got woken up by something.
I stood up and used my hands to search a nearby candle and matches.
I held the candle while walking through the hallway.
I went down and saw someone left the house.
I slowly followed them into the forest.
I didn't know what I was thinking to follow someone in the dark forest alone.
I froze when something suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder.
"What are you doing here?"
It was Shin!
I let out a relieved sigh.
"Were you the one who-"
Shin cuts me off and suddenly carried me and sprinted me to the hill.
He carefully helped me stand.
I was about to scold him then he suddenly offered his hands.
"Shall we dance, Feather?"
My eyes widened at those words.
I just nodded looking at him.
I don't even know how to dance.

I took his hand and he pulled me closer.
His other hand held my waist and the other interlocked with my other hand.
I didn't know where to put my other hand so I just ackwardly placed it on his shoulder.
He smiled warmly at me before swinging me.
I struggled to copy his foot steps.
I kept stepping on his foot and almost tripped.
It was quite embarrassing but he was so patient about it.
I almost stopped but he spoke in a gentle tone "you're doing great, Feather"
I felt my face became hot, I was blushing.
After a while I finally mimicked Shins foot steps.
I smiled and when I looked at Shin he looked so happy and proud.
He kept on swaying me around.
I felt the tall grass tickle my feet and legs, and the cold breeze of the night flow through my body.
He suddenly wrapped his hands around my waist and carried me and he spin around.

I was actually laughing.
I was actually having fun.
I was actually falling.
I was feeling sinful.
I was actually dancing with a sin.

Before I could fall deeper. I pushed Shin away forcing myself to fall to the ground.
He looked at me surprised and worried.
He immediately went to me and helped me stood up asking what's wrong.
"T-this is wrong!"
I accidentally shouted.
"What's wrong, Feather?"
"You! Me! We- We're both boys! This feels wrong! This feels-"
I got so flustered that I started crying.
I didn't know what this feeling is,
But I want it to disappear.
I wiped my tears and felt another dropped on my wrist.
I looked up and saw shin tears fall down his cheeks.
I didn't know what to do.

"I'm sorry"
He wiped his tears and he sat down, gesturing me to sit with him.
I sat down still flustered.
He looked up the stars.

"I'm not the person you think I am"

"I came from up there"
He told me while looking up at the sky.
I tilted my head then he chuckled.
"I'm not a demon, Feather"
"You're human?"
Shin looked at me and caressed my cheek before sighing.
He took his hands off my face.
"I'm an angel"

My head suddenly ached.
I suddenly pictured a moment that I actually remembered.

"We were once angels"Where stories live. Discover now
