Head In The Clouds | 2Jae

Chapter Two

Jaebum blinked a few times at Youngjaes words. A joke? Why would he joke about something as serious as this?

"No, I don't believe I'm joking" He said softly as he looked up to Youngjae with a puzzled look across his features. Youngjae was just softly staring to the seemingly dull boy ahead of him.

"Are you dense?" Youngjae muttered as he moved to kneel beside Jaebum. The angel only furrowed his eyebrows.

"Dense? I don't understand..." He said with his voice softly peaking with confusion.

"Wow, you really are..." Youngjae muttered as he watched the boy who only stared in confusion at the other in front of him. Jaebum had no clue what was going on. What did he mean by dense? He wasn't thick...

"So, I'm supposed to believe you are an angel who came to protect me?" Youngjae put exaggeration on a few words before Jaebum nodded gently and moved to sit the way Youngjae was.

Jaebum was not experienced when it came to interaction with humans. It was mostly a lot of watching from afar. He knew enough about humans to be a laughing stock up in heaven where he tried to back up humans and their decisions.

Just like everywhere else, Heaven wasn't perfect. Before you go and say that "of course it is, it's God's perfect creation" take a moment to listen.

God created Heaven in his image millions of years in the past, before Jaebum was created and before the earth was even thought of. Since then, Angels have taken over and god did his own thing. The archangels ruled over heaven while guardian angels were sent to earth and warriors were sent to fight with hell. There was no true freedom in heaven.

Angels hadn't seen god in years.

Heaven was an entire mess and angels like Jaebum were why most believed so.

There were quite a few that believed angels were better than the humans in every way. Jaebum was one of the last few who saw the similarities and that made him one of the worst types of angels in the eyes of those superior.

They gave him the jobs no one wanted like protecting the humans he loved so much. Most angels were blood thirsty creatures who took the missions that would involve things like slaughtering in cool blood.

There were very few guardians left. He had worked a few jobs and became good friends with one guardian named Jinyoung, He liked the humans as well. Jinyoung was an archangel which gave him much more of a foot hold than Jaebum had. He'd met one messenger angel by the name of Yugyeom. He liked the humans too, apparently stayed with one most of the time somewhere in Seoul.

Jaebum was just a guardian angel with no one to guard.

He was sent to save people from accidents that weren't supposed to happen, not directly guard a single human.

He's a special one, remember that

Jaebum gulped at the thought of his superiors words. Special how? Special in the way that meant he should never stop protecting him to the moment he's turned to dust because the superiors are just trying to get him to leave or special in the way that meant Youngjae was the difference between life and death for his kind?

"Show me then" Youngjae cut off Jaebums thoughts with soft words and the angels eyes widened. Show him? How? He couldn't let his wings out in public... He was risking it using his telepathy to scare the other boy away but...

He had to protect Youngjae at all costs.

"Keep your eyes open but listen to me" Jaebums voice flowed gently from between his lips and Youngjae did as the mysterious other said.
