Looking For My Halo || l.dh

|| 9 ||

Narae's POV:

Stretching my arms over my head I looked at my clock, before at the boy sleeping on the mattress, and I threw my pillow at him, immediately waking him up as he sent me a glare, throwing it right back at me.

"Wake up and shine!" Rolling his eyes he sat up, before rubbing them, yawning as well, signaling the drowsiness hadn't left him yet, and I swung my legs over the edge of my bed, standing up, he stood up as well.

"Some people also use the term, rise and shine." This time I was the one to roll my eyes as I walked past him, but he stopped me by the door, pulling me by the arm, and before I could complain about not wanting to get late, he interrupted me.

"I'm an angel, I know you didn't believe me yesterday, but I'll prove it." Once again I couldn't help but let my eyes move to the ceiling, rolling them, and he guided me towards the bed once again, before taking a few steps back.

"Donghyuck, I'm really not in the mood for your weirdness right n-" I stopped myself, before covering my eyes in a swift move as he had started taking off his shirt, and I was so close to cursing his ass all the way to Canada.

"Stop being such a pussy and look." Frowning, I slowly uncovered my eyes, and when I spotted his bare back, my hand was completely gone.

Nothing was said for a long time until he cleared his throat, probably anticipating what I had to say, but I couldn't push the words out of my mouth, and only an unidentifiable noise left me, making a chuckle leave him, before the shirt was on him once again, covering the two long scars on his back.

"Y-you didn't make them just to freak me out, right?" His eyebrows furrowed as he took the seat beside me, a small grin on his face despite his furrowed eyebrows, and he shook his head.

"You can't really call me an angel now that they cut my wings off and took back my halo.." The hand, which earlier had been resting on his thigh, was moved to run through his hair, and I blinked at the odd information, which still seemed like some kind of story he had made up.

"W-why did they.. C-cut them off?" Clearing my throat, I tried to stop myself from stammering, but Donghyuck only shrugged at my question, and I looked at the clock, panicking at the time.

"We're going to be late for sc-"

"And so what? Being late is a part of life, now I just want to explain to and make you believe me." He sounded totally calm about us getting late, but that didn't work on me as I knew my parents would flip, if they found out I ditched school, and he perceived my uncomfortableness as he stood up.

"I'll talk to your parents. I really need to explain everything to you, after all, you are my best friend.." With that he just left the room, leaving me with my thoughts and questions.

I got a bit giddy when he called me his best friend, but what could I have expected?

He doesn't even speak to others but me and a few classmates, when they ask him something.

My mind then wandered to the fact I was going to be ditching school today, making me once again panic, and I jumped up, planning on leaving for school anyways, but Donghyuck had to ruin it.

"Nope, you're not leaving, missy. I talked with your parents and they agreed to let you stay home, since you apparently have stressed yourself out too much, now sit." Frowning again, I shook my head, and despite his words, I tried to push myself out the door, only to have Donghyuck push me back.

It sounded abnormal for my parents to be acting like that.

"My parents aren't like th- wait, did you use your angel powers to make them do anything?" My mouth fell open, but the only response I got was a facepalm, and he rubbed his face, sitting down on my bed, he patted the space beside him, gesturing for me to take the seat, which I stupidly did.

"There's a lot to tell you, but let me start off by saying I got kicked out of heave-"

"What?" I couldn't help but laugh at that, earning a push and a death glare from him, which only made me laugh a bit more, before I sent him an apology.

"I'll tell you what happened. I wasn't an ordinary angel, I was a guardian angel-" He paused, waiting for some kind of outburst or remark, but when he didn't get one, he continued.

"I got assigned to watch over this girl, her name was- is Dasom, and I grew fond of her, a bit too fond, it got to the point where the more time I spent with her, the more I grew on her, which I knew wasn't the best thing to do."

"I fell in love, of course I had felt love before, when I had been alive but this felt different, it was an amazing feeling, and it was against the rules."

I felt like watching a movie as he talked and I waited for him to say something else.

"Then I got kicked out when they found out, not without the painful 'operation' where they basically took this big angel ax and cut my wings off."

The explanation made me cringe and shudder, the thought making me uncomfortable.

"And Narae, now, that I'm on earth as a human being, I really want your help.." Tilting my head I looked at him, confusion clear on my face, the school long forgotten as I had gotten absorbed in his story, and I raised my eyebrows as a thought came to me.

"With what? You want me to help you find the girl you got kicked out of heaven for?" The question made him bite down on his lip, before his head moved up and down in a nod.

"Yes."
