Author's note: his power is he can see both horns and halo in a person, the horns means how sinful is the person is, the halo is the opposite, he can determine how evil a person is, in the size of his or her horns and how kind can they be with their halo.

SeungCheol was on his way to his school when the ground suddenly shakes.

"Stay in the car Cheol! Wait 'til it stops!" Yelled his mom in the driver's seat, beads of sweat forming in her forehead.
"Mom, just stay calm." Her son advised.

The ground stopped shaking, but the thick grey clouds quickly formed, really quick.

"What is happening to Seoul, really?" Asked the boy in the back seat.
"Maybe it was supposed to rain today." His mom took a U-turn to their house then water suddenly poured from the sky.
"Maybe it was." Said the boy.

His mother pulled the car in front of their house, "So I'm not going to school?" Her son suddenly asked a dumb question, "Yes, you are." Said the mother sarcastically. The boy rushed to open the gates for his mother's parking, then rushed inside. He dropped his bag on the wide white couch and rushed upstairs to his room. Things like that happens to his family normally, because they're not normal.

He opened his door to found a lot of white feathers scattered on his floor.

Feathers? Really?The feathers' whiteness is blinding. He searched around his room for clues but he found none, so he decided to go for a nap, he picked up the feathers and put it in a jar, the jar looked like a lamp, it's so fascinating.
Wow...He opened his closet and changed to his sweatpants and grey T-shirt, the usual comfortable combo.
He jumped on his unfolded mattress, but was uncomfortable with it.
Something's poking my back.
He neatly searched through his bed and found a ring, a grey ring, with numbers '1004'.
A ring? Whose ring is this? Is there someone on my room?! Nah, I already checked. So someone's been to my room...
He put the ring on his night stand and slept.

The ground is shaking...

The clouds are forming... Thunderstorms...A sudden lightning flashed across the boy's face, he was so shocked to move.I could've died.But the lightning choose to not hit him, a boy his age appeared in front of him but he couldn't see his face clearly, he couldn't see his horns, but his halo is shining bright."Seungcheol?"He noticed a white thing on the weird boy's back, it suddenly opened.Wings? The boy flew away from him.He called my name. Is he an angel? Maybe, he is. He have no horns and he have those wings...


He woke up to the sound of his phone ringing with an unknown number flashed on it's screen.

*unknown number
+08***So somebody is stalking me and using a pay phone, eh? Am I that good-looking?"Hello?" He asked the other line, but he got no answer, "Hello~" he asked again but this time, "Seungcheol?" It's the same voice... the same voice as the boy in his dream, could it be?
"Yes, why?" The other line suddenly hang up.

His mother called him for dinner, it's almost 7 pm.
"Cheol! Hurry before your food get cold!"
He rushed downstairs, the smell of black bean paste made the monster inside of him growl.
He digged through his meal quickly, he's really hungry.
"Cheol..."
"Hmm?" The boy answered with his mouth full, unable to speak.
"You know, you slept for 10 hours." The boy looked at the clock in the dining wall and almost choked to his food.
"Mom! Why didn't you wake me up?! It'll be hard for me to sleep later." The boy let out a deep sigh just because of the thought of staying up so late and have nobody to talk to.
"Well, I woke you up too many times, but you keep on saying a name instead of waking up."

A name?"What name?"
"You're through with your food? Bring this kimchi to the new neighbors in front of our house."
The boy raised his left eyebrow out of curiousity.
He needs information. His mother let out a sigh, knowing his son, nosy kid.
"Well, they moved in while you were sleeping, they moved their furnitures loudly and you didn't even woke up!"
"Well, I had a great dream."
"What dream?"
"An angel flashed in front of me and showed off it's wings!"
"Really?"
His mother can't tell him that he slept walk, it might creep him out. It's for his own good though, and he didn't even pass their street, but he almost got hit by a lightning.
"My dream's location is in front of Seo eomonim's store, it's so high definition, it feels like it really happened."
His mother felt weird, she knew something is wrong, but she didn't know what.
"Awesome, okay? Now, bring this to the new neighbors!"

SeungCheol opened their door to get hit by a cold wind, he almost drop the kimchi.
"Wear a jacket, it's cold!"
His mother advised.
He grab his father's coat in his favorite coat rack, and went outside to meet his new neighbors. He rang the door bell 2 times and--

He saw a boy in his age with long hair, munching a gimbap.
"Oh, hi."

wow."Hey, my mother asked to brought you this kimchi she made for welcoming you to our neighborhood." Seungcheol flashed a sweet smile that made his new neighbor smile too.
"Thank you."
"You know, my mom is a great kimchi chef, you should really try her kimchi."
He really doesn't have something to say to make their conversation long.
"Well I can't really eat this right now because I'm helping my mom to set the furnitures but we'll surely eat this, thank you for your kind gesture." The younger boy smiled to satisfy the neighbor's nosy head.
"Wait-- uhm.."
"Yeah?"
"Are you the same age as me?"
"I think so, why?"
"So you're attending the high school near this village?"
"Yeah, I have to."
He really enjoyed talking to him that he didn't notice the halo he have, it's shining bright, because all he can think about is the younger boy's smile that shines brighter.
"So uhm... what's your name?"
"Jeong--"
"Hannie! What's taking you so long?! You gotta help me here, you know?!"
the younger boy's sister shouts from their living room.
"Wait a second!"
"You can go now, I think they needs your help." Seungcheol scratch his neck because of embarrassment, he's that talkative? Did his talking took a lot of his time?
"Yeah, thank you again! And see you tomorrow, good night!"

He went home with a large grin on his face.

He's quite charming.

Meanwhile in the new neighbors' house....

"Jeonghan, why did you go outside and called someone in the pay phone? You have your own cell phone, dummy." His sister asked him while arranging the vase.

"I don't want to get tracked."
