From Above [Yoo Kihyun]

Ch. 3

[Kihyun POV]

"She sure fell asleep fast." I whispered to myself. I guess this was my best chance to take a real good look at her.

Starting with her hair, it was voluminous, almost curly with its abundance. Her eyes, I had noticed earlier, were a stunning hazel- more green than anything. Her eyelashes were straight and long, giving her cheeks little kisses with each blink.

Following down her cute button nose, I noticed two deep dimples on either side of a pair of voluptuous lips. The only thing that took away from her beauty was a scar on her right temple, in the exact same place where my head had been cracked open. It was large in diameter, about the size of a nickel, and it touched her hairline. That certainly wasn't a big deal for me.

As for her body, she seemed moderately tall, we were almost the same height. Being tall didn't make her skinny though, and I liked that. She had a little bit of a tummy, nothing very noticeable, but it look soft. Her hips curved on a sinful way beneath her oversized flannel, but I don't think I should examine any further. All I need to say, was for an angel, she had the body of sin itself.

In all reality, I still couldn't believe she was an angel. I mean things like this aren't possible, are they? But here we are, I went flying over Seoul just an hour ago. How... Is any of this possible?

I remembered something she said earlier– "You would've been my coworker if I hadn't come to save you today". Does that mean I was about to kick the bucket? Oh shit... OH SHIT!!!

"Hey!" I said trying to wake Insoo. "HEY!" I shouted as I shook her shoulder.

"Huh? What?" She opened her eyes but they were clouded with the confusion that I was supposed to be feeling.

"Did I almost die today?" I was trembling, which was rare for me.

She noticed and reached out to grab my hand for comfort, but her words weren't exactly chosen carefully.

"Well of course silly," she said with a smile, "but I'm here for you now. You don't have to worry about things like that anymore, I won't let anything happen to you ever again." She muttered the part as back asleep, and her arm went limp, leaving me to carry it. I felt my face heating up, no one had ever spoken to me like that in such a personal way.

"Aish, okay, thanks." I said as I ruffled my hair. I didn't want her to see she just flustered me incase she was still awake. I decided to lie back bed and try to sleep, because in truth, my heart my head was still pounding.

The morning came and the guys filtered in one by one, each with their own angel. We all had a rather chaotic talk, and in the end it turned out Insoo and Wheein's– Wonho's guardian angel– landlord died and they no longer a place to stay. I ended up saying they could stay here for as long as they needed. Shownu smacked me around for it, but oh well.

At the end of the day, when we were finally alone, Insoo sat next to me on the couch with a rather stiff posture.

"So now that we're alone, I need to tell you something." She was almost whispering and I saw a bright blush blooming on her cheeks.

"Okay, shoot."

"Uhm... I know it's awkward, but there's something we need to do. Because I'm an angel, I have no attachment to this world, nothing is tethering me here. I could disappear at any moment." She took a deep breath and spoke very fast, I almost didn't understand her. "So we need to have intimate contact to bond me to you fully."

"Huh? What kind of intimate contact?"

"A... Kiss..." She murmured too low for me really understand.

"Sorry I didn't hear."

"A kiss." She whispered a little louder.

"Speak up please."

"A kiss!" She shouted with the cutest little pout.

"Oh, well that's easy." I lied flat out, my heart sped up, but I grabbed the back of her neck and started closing in. She was simply too tempting and I had been hoping to do this since I saw her kissing my hand back at the accident.

She looked surprised but quickly fell into it and fluttered her eyes shut, waiting for me. I closed my eyes, excited to be able to experience her amazing lips.

Then it happened, my lips collided with hers and it was like sparks ignited. Not only was it electric, but oddly my lips fit into hers just perfectly, like two puzzle pieces. I lost sight of the goal and pulled her into my lap, when she put her hand on my chest and pulled away with wide eyes. She stood quickly and tripped over the coffee table. Once she stood up, she spoke in a very high pitched voice.

"Well, now you'll notice black rings like band on our middle fingers. That serves as our connection. We share one mind, and our bodies are linked as well. If it disappears, then I know you have died, and if you notice it's gone then I have gone back to heaven. I'm going to go to bed now. Good night Kihyun."
