Angel on Earth

Chapter 5

POV Leo

I was sleeping as peacefully as I could when my window curtains were open by Ken.

"Raise and shine, Leo hyung." He said.

"Leave me alone."

"No, can't do. We are eating breakfast together."

When he said that I automatically looked at my desk clock. It was way late for them to stay here. Three hours late to be exact.

"Won't you be late for work?"

"Our choreographer had a last minute issue."

"Since when do you work with a choreographer? Aren't you supposed to be concentrating on acting?" I asked.

"I'm trying to make a solo album and since I needed to practice a choreography, today that won't happen, we'll stay here to cheer you up. It's a free day for the guys too." He said smiling.

"Why don't you cheer me up by leaving?"

"No, we cannot do that."

"That wasn't a question, so you weren't supposed to be answering me on that one." I said covering myself with my blanket.

"Come on! Don't you feel tired of being in the same room everyday and every night?" He asked.

"No."I answered.

I heard some steps around the room, so I thought that he was finally leaving, but as expected I was wrong.

"Ravi! Hongbin! We need to drag him out of bed again!" He yelled.

*******

Once I was eating breakfast or trying to eat it, the guys were talking about how their careers are going. I just observed them and recalled how much they've changed since Hakyeon passed away.

Now, Ken is always the first one to wake up. The reason why he changed that habit of always being the last one is because since I'm not doing it, he decided to do it. He believes that his actions would make N happy and proud wherever he is. To add a new thing Ken does, this morning he told me he is doing a solo album, so that's added to his list of activities. Hyuk learned to cook. He took cooking lessons and now his practically a chef. Since I don't cook, he said that he is "my replacement until I heal". Hongbin and Ravi have been too immersed in their works. Hongbin keeps acting, looking into every show you can imagine to be MC, modeling, and if his not doing something he'll look for something to do. I remember one day that he tried to cook, Hyuk almost killed him because of the mess he made to his so called "personal kitchen". Hongbin has been writing his own songs now. Ravi can write all of his songs for three future albums and yet he'll keep occupied by looking for something to do, even the most insignificant things that aren't necessary.

I've been the only one who stopped doing everything. From writing songs to performing to acting... I just stopped. Fans miss me, but they'll get use to it... eventually. Everyone adjusts to change somehow. It is scientifically proven that humans can adjust to change. From moving to a new place to climate change, so everyone who knows that I exist and what I did for life will forget about me one day.

After thinking for a while about how everything has changed, I stood up with my plate in my hands. As I was walking to the sink, I was stopped by Hyuk.

"Hyung, you haven't eaten anything at all. Don't you like my cooking?"

"No... it's not that. It tastes great. I'm just not hungry."

"Do you want me to make you some soup?" He asked. "Maybe you're not hungry because of the taste or smell."

"No, thank you. As I said, I'm not hungry. I ate some of it." I replied.

"But your plate looks as full as when I gave it to you."

"I'm full." I replied.

"Okay..."

After putting my plate on the sink, I walked ignoring the concerned expressions on their faces, went to my room, closed the door, and  laid down looking at that empty side of the room. Suddenly, I felt shaking. It was like an earthquake, everything was moving. The lights started switching on and off repeatedly. I heard Ravi's voice asking for everyone to get out of the apartment, but then... it stopped. It only lasted a minute or less.

Everything was silent. I couldn't hear a sound inside or outside the building.

I stood up from my bed and looked out the window. There was a line in the sky, almost like the ones airplanes leave behind when they're up in the sky. The only difference is that this one was directly coming from a cloud and down to the next street of this town. As I was looking at it, the door flew open.

"Are you okay?!" Ken asked.

"Yeah... why?"

"Why? Why?! There was an earthquake and you ask why?!"

"I'm fine." I simply replied.

"What is-"

"It's fine, hyung." Ravi interrupted Ken. "If he says that he's fine then, he's fine. It happened and now it's finished, so let's leave it like that."

"Yeah, please don't fight now. I just got the scared of my life!" Hyuk added.

"Okay. I'll leave it like that, but next time this happens I want you out of this room!" Ken said.

"Okay, I can do that." I replied.

"Don't scare me like that again! I thought you hit your head or something. When an earthquake happens you  yell and run!" He said looking at me. "Do you understand?"

"Yeah... I get it." I answered.

Still glaring at me, Ken left and the others followed. When they were gone, I looked through my window again. The cloud like line was still there. I suddenly had this weird desire to go and check what is it about, but I didn't have the energy. So, instead of feeding my curiosity, I went to my bed, lay down, and closed my eyes.

*******

When I woke up everything was silent. I went out of my room to check if I was alone, but I heard the TV was on. The guys were so concentrated on what was being informed that they didn't noticed my presence, so I decided to listen to it.

<First, an earthquake and at the same time the probability of an asteroid. People are sure they saw something falling from the sky, but as they went where it probably landed there's only a dark alley with nothing but smoke and what looks almost like a human shape form on the floor. Once investigators continue investigating the scene, we'll give full information of what might had happened.>

"A human shape on the floor? Now that's an odd thing to hear." Hyuk commented.

"I know... I wonder what it was." Ravi added.

"I think that we may or may not know what it is. As she said there's only smoke and a shape. Nothing more and nothing less. It may be a mystery." I said.

"Maybe we'll know what it was." Hyuk said.

"But maybe... we will never know. It's almost the shape of a human. Whatever landed there could just made that shape because of the way it landed."

"He's right guys. I mean, humans falling from the sky? What is this? The apocalypse or something?" Ravi said while laughing.

"Exactly, now I'm going back to my room."

"Oh, come on. You just got out of there!" Ken whined.

I ignored them and went to my room anyway, but with another purpose. Instead of laying on my bed, I looked through the window. I searched for the cloud line with my eyes, but it was already gone...
