Smile More

06

That night, the wind was blowing strongly and the window made a very irritating sound as if it could break down at any moment. Suddenly, Mingyu heard a loud knock on the window. He went to open it and a blinding light went into his room.

"Kim Mingyu!" Said the light.

"My Lord." He replied.

"I send you this light to bring a message for you." Said the light again.

"There's an order from the higher up that every power of human-angel will be seized. Recently there was an abuse of power used from the unknown and they were afraid that the devils are targetting the human-angel. Since angels in human form always appear weaker than when they were in their angel form. So, we are taking your power from you to avoid you getting targeted by them." The light finished talking.

"But..." Mingyu started.

"This is an order Mingyu. Not a choice you could make." Said the light before it left the room in complete darkness without any remnant of lights.

Mingyu fell down on his knees. Will he be okay without his power to keep looking after Sana?

Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. Then, Sana entered the room.

"Why are you here?" Mingyu asked, his voice sounding rough. 

"Err.. just checking if you were fine. The wind was too strong just now and I heard a knock. Who did you talk to just now?" Sana asked. 

"It's none of your concern." He replied. Sana was taken aback by that kind of cold reply but that didn't let her down. 

"Do you want to watch movie?" She asked. Mingyu looked up at Sana who was standing in front of his dark room with lights emitting from behind her, which basically were the lights from the living room. But she looked just like an angel from his point of view. She was so breathtaking.

*****

They were at the living room. Sana was searching for the movie to watch. "What are we going to watch?" Mingyu asked. 

"I don't know as well. There's a lot of CD. But I don't know which one was the best. I never actually watch them because I don't have time." Sana replied. Suddenly, Mingyu felt uneasy. He felt that the CDs will fell.

Sana took the CD at the very bottom and the other CDs just had to fall on her. fell on top of her. She was buried under the pile of CDs.

Mingyu did try to stop the CD from fell but he forgot that he has no powers anymore. He palmed his face and shook his head. 

"Wow, that's hurt," Sana said but chuckled feeling stupid. She took a step back, and that's when a crack sound was heard. Sana look down and saw her CD had fallen apart. It was divided into half. 

"Oh no! No no no no no," Sana said an endless 'no' as she cried.

Mingyu who was still dumbfounded looked at Sana who was crying so badly. He held Sana's hand and pulled her up. "It's okay! We can go buy a new one." Mingyu said as he wiped the tears off Sana's face.

*****

They were at some random place that has a lot of stores. They went into a store that sells CDs. Sana found the CD and wanted to pay for it. But, Mingyu already paid it for her. Mingyu just smiled as Sana looked at him. 

"Gomawo~" Sana said. 

"No problem. Just say anything you want. I'll buy it for you!" Mingyu said though he was just joking Sana's eyes widened. 

"Really!?!" Sana said and jumping like a little kid and she almost fell but Mingyu managed to catch her.

Sana blushed again. Shy with her child-like action but Mingyu just chuckled. After they went to many shops and bought many things. Now, they were eating ice cream while sitting on a park bench looking at the beautiful view of Seoul at night.

Mingyu looked at Sana and he just had this thing talking in his head saying: Sana's ice cream will melt and fall on her. 

He immediately took a tissue and gave it to Sana. Sana looked confused but took the tissue anyway. 

"Your ice cream will melt and fell on your dress." He said. 

"Oh! You're right!!" She said and looked around her dress, checking in case her dress was smude by the ice cream already.

"Mingyu, I'm so thankful for today. I'm sorry to burden you." Sana said. 

"What are you talking about?.." Mingyu replied as his eyes were still fixed on the city's light.

"I'm fine with this...maybe because the time is coming closer and I didn't do enough to help you." He said. Again, leaving Sana in confusion. There's silence in the air. 

"Then, what do you think of me?" Sana asked to ease the silence.

"Huh? Well....you're diligent, pretty, nice, an.." Mingyu replied but cut off in his sentence.

"No! I didn't mean like that. Like, what do you think of me as a... girl?" Sana said though she sound very embarrassed at the end when she realized that it almost feels like she was confenssing.

Mingyu turned to her and smiled. "I don't know. I just couldn't say it..."

"Something was preventing us to be together. So I'm sorry because we just can't." Mingyu stated as he looked down at his sneakers. It was so painful to hear something like that, he knew but there was nothing he could do about it. He's just an angel, not a God.

'Because I'm angel and you're human. We live different lives. At different and so far places.' Mingyu thought to himself. Wish he could just say it out loud to her.

"It's getting late. Let's go home." Mingyu said and Sana just followed him from behind.

Sana was looking at Mingyu's hands many times and Mingyu knew that. So, he held Sana's hand and left her surprised. 

"Why are you... why are we..." Sana couldn't make up her mind to ask which questions first and Mingyu just smiled without even looking at her. But, Sana was happy. A smile curved on her lips. She was just too happy. While Mingyu felt guilty in happiness.

'I could at least do this much, right...?' He asked himself.
