Please, Don't Leave Me (Jaeyong) [Complete]

7.

Jaehyun's miracle came only a few days later.

He was watching an early winter snow fall on the sleepy little apartment complex where he had spent his days happily planning a life with the man he loved. He had to go back to earth, to try and do something to end Taeyong's pain.

What would be his punishment? Could it possibly be any worse than sitting motionless, watching Taeyong self-destruct and unable to stop it?

Jaehyun sighed tiredly. He couldn't stand much more of this. It was then he realized someone was coming. He felt Youngho's presence long before he could see him.

"Youngho-hyungie," He said in a quiet voice, knowing the elder could hear him.

The angel winced.

"How many times have I told you not to call me like that, Jaehyunie?"

Jaehyun got the point. No one was allowed to call him Jaehyunie but Taeyong.

"Sorry. So you have any news, or are you just here to bother me."

He got a tentative smile.

"I have news. I want you to know I don't like this at all and I think that the possibility for disaster is endless, but they have agreed to your request."

Jaehyun looked shocked for a second then he jumped up and pumped his fist in the air. The gesture was so silly, so non-angelic, that Youngho had to laugh.

"Wait before you go running, er, flying off. There are rules."

Jaehyun looked impatient.

"I'm listening," he said.

"He can't see you. That's rule number one. Don't break it. They are letting you go help him, but a human can't see an angel. Ever. If he sees your face, you will have to return here, and you won't be allowed to look over him any longer."

"Can I touch him?"

"Yes, and he will be able to hear you but you'll sound different than you used to. Obviously you can only go to him at night, and you are under no circumstances to tell him what or who you really are."

"Then he'll think I'm some crazy person sneaking into his apartment!"

"And if you told him you were his guardian angel, he would think you were completely sane?"

Jaehyun laughed quietly, imagining Taeyong's reaction to that one.

"Listen, you'll just have to convince him some other way. You know we have options. Just don't let him see you. Rules are rules for a reason. You're already getting to break about a hundred of them. I wouldn't complain."

"So he can't see me, and I obviously can't tell him I'm an angel, and I can't even tell him I'm Jaehyun. What if he guesses?"

"Then no rules have been broken."

"This is stupid."

Youngho raised his eyebrows at him.

"Notthat stupid!" Jaehyun amended. He was getting what he had wanted for so long. It wasn't exactly the way he wanted things to be, but he'd take it.
