Crooked

Chapter 9: fallen angel

Ever since Jaeho came to visit me and letting me know that he was now my guardian angel. He would come every day to visit me.

Kyungil didn't knew nothing about this at all, but I'm planning on telling him someday. I've asked Jaeho plenty of times if I could tell Gil, but he always end up disappearing.

It's odd that he would disappear over some silly question, yet I know he doesn't likes Gil.

Today was the day I would meet up with Jaeho over a river that held our childhoods. That river was called 'Tokeneky river' the river was always silent but pleasant to stay. When we were much younger we would always go to the river and play.

Finally I've arrived to the Tokeneky river and waited for Jaeho to appear.

Since I had nothing to do at the time I grabbed a stick that laid in the ground  and drew nonsense to the mud.

"Oh there you are y/n" Jaeho's voice came from the back when suddenly I noticed something had changed in him.

"Hey Jaeboy, did you changed color or?"

"Oh yeah, now I'm a category 7 in angel form, God gave me the gift to be a healer. So basically now my color is blue and green all mixed up" he smiled sitting down next to me.

"Oh cool! So now you are like a guardian slash medic?"

"Yeah kind of"

Soon the conversation went off and a gentle silence across us visited us. Despite the breathing of us nothing was heard.

Sigh

My eyes traced all over Jaeho's body noticing that he wasn't human anymore. It still shocked me in every way, but at least he is doing fine.

Suddenly I felt something soft pressing against my bare shoulder. Jaeho's left wing surrounded me in comfort, I noticed a little chuckle was left from him but then he quiet himself up again.

"Jaeho?"

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever thought that I'm human and you are something that is almost not seen by the human race?"

Silence

" I didn't meant to harm you if I did..I'm sorry"

"No it's ok, and yes I've thought about it"

"But do you feel fine about it..?"

"I feel in between, I gave up my life because of you. But now that I recall my actions, I've been dumb folded. Cause I won't be able to have you in my life."

"You do have me"

"I don't mean in that way, I mean like my other half. I don't trust Gil...not a single bit."

With that I held back my questions and began to draw nonsense in the mud again. I felt guilty being the reason for his death.

"I'm sorry" I apologized not daring to look at him at once.

"Don't be sorry, it was my fault for thanking such decision. Don't take yourself down for that."

"But i-" suddenly he interrupted me by grabbing my chin to face him in the eyes.

"Listen, I was a suicidal kid before. I had things in mind that were nothing but nonsense. I share the guilt with you now cause I don't have no chance to be with you, but look at the bright side. At least I can see my whole family again. Remember? They all died in a cruise and I was the only  family member left alone in my house."
