He woke the next morning, more awake and rested than he had been in a long time.

He couldn't believe how easily he'd slept through the night. No nightmares about beeping lights and hospitals, just the easy darkness that he used to take for granted.

He reached over to thank Yoonoh, or whatever his real name was, but found an empty pillow.

Well, not quite empty. Sitting on the bedside table a breakfast set and a hot coffee. Taeyong smiled and opened the note.

Taeyong-
I'll be back tonight. Have a good day! I hope you enjoy your breakfast.

-Yoonoh

Taeyong had been hoping for a glimpse of his mysterious angel. It was how he'd already started to think of him.

He knew it was crazy. He didn't believe in angels. He couldn't believe. If angels existed, how could they have let Jaehyun die?

He did feel better though; even now that Yoonoh was gone.

His breakfast actually looked good. Taeyong couldn't remember the last time food seemed interesting.

He ate, then, with a little hidden smile, he got dressed and headed for work.

He didn't really like his job, but it paid well and he'd been using most of his salary to help Jaehyun's parents pay the part of the hospital bills that insurance didn't cover.

They protested, but he kept sending the money anyway. They'd treated him like their son too.

Sitting on the bus to work, he caught himself smiling again. It was strange how a smile kind of hovered on his face.

He thought of how Jaehyun had always told him that his smile was beautiful, how it lit up his face.

Taeyong was a little surprised. Even the memory of Jaehyun didn't make him as sad as usual today.
