EDITED - 25 JUN 2020

--

a week later jooheon finally called the person. he had been contemplating a lot. but, on the other hand, he didn't have anything important to lose anymore.

what amused him was that they picked up.

"changkyun?" a male's surprised voice sounded from the other side. it was seemingly someone young and still full of energy so it obviously wasn't someone changkyun has used to take care of.

"hello, i'm searching for hoseok," jooheon was trying his best to sound composed and not give away how nervous he was. he never felt nervous, he didn't know why was he like that now.

"yeah, that's me. and you're not changkyun, apparently."

"changkyun is..." jooheon went silent. he didn't want to say it. he pressed his lips in a thin line, hoping that hoseok would figure it out himself. he already felt too weak to continue the conversation and just wanted to hang up. he even forgot what he called for in the first place. "... he's dead."

"i see..." the other spoke after a while. his voice sounded really masculine yet soft and gentle. jooheon felt like it was the kind of voice one could listen to for hours without stopping. "are you his human?"

jooheon nodded and quickly realized that the other couldn't see him. he was internally facepalming himself for being so embarrassing. but then again. no one could see him embarrassing himself like that. "yeah."

"oh, great, for a second i thought some other angel has found his phone and is doing an investigation about his death now," hoseok let out a sigh of relief as he tried to cheer them both up a little. "sorry, i didn't mean to say that word..."

"it's okay..."

"do you want to talk about this with someone?"

jooheon stared at his free hand. did he really want to talk about this? or most importantly, was he ready? was he really going to admit to anyone that he was the killer of his own angel? especially a stranger who he had no idea about nor how did he have changkyun's number in the first place. "actually, i do..."

the thing jooheon expected the least was to arrange a meeting with hoseok.

they lived in different towns but hoseok wasn't really bothered by that or at least he didn't sound like he was. he sounded like he'd rather travel the whole distance even if it was from two opposite sides of the earth than talk on the phone about it.

at least jooheon was now able to ask his questions. and include the new ones such as who was hoseok.

for a second he started wondering if changkyun had another human but that sounded impossible since he was barely keeping up with jooheon.

jooheon sighed. he got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

as he was doing so, he started wondering... if angels were on heaven already... where did they go after they died? what even happened to an angel after its death?

it was frustrating the human so much.

the world sure wasn't suited to be questioned by some simple mortals such as jooheon.

"why are you so complicated, changkyun?"
