Angel on Earth

Chapter 9

POV Leo

We got closer to whoever was laying in front of our door. When we were in front of the person covered with a blanket, I froze. This person looked exactly like Hakyeon.

"What the...?!" Ravi stopped shortly at his own words in shock.

I saw them all with their mouths wide open and probably mine was too.

"Is- is that...?" Ken tried to speak.

"Hyung..." Hyuk whispered.

Once my brain finally process the situation, I spoke.

"Let's just... get him into the apartment. There has to be an explanation." I said before lifting the stranger in my arms.

I carried him inside and laid him on the couch. Ravi and Hongbin brought all those pillows that were around him and Ken brought his blanket. We sat at the other couch in front of the one where he was sleeping peacefully.

"This has to be a coincidence." Hongbin said.

"It can't be him. His... dead." Ravi added still trying to process what's going on.

"He looks the same... maybe this can be a miracle." Hyuk said.

"I think we hit our heads with something or maybe I hit my head with something. This is not normal! This can't be real!" Ken said.

"I think... we need to wait until he wakes up." I finally said.

"Yeah... we might-"

"Oh my God! His waking up!" Hyuk screamed interrupting Ravi.

We saw the guy moving and opening his eyes. He looked at us before saying something that we didn't understand.

"What?"

"Where are my pillows? My back is hurting me..." He whispered.

"Mhm... who are you?" Ravi asked him.

"Oh... right." He said before smiling a little. "My name is Cha Hakyeon and I'm here to look for someone called Leo."

"Your name is Cha Hakyeon?" Asked Ken to which he responded with a nod.

"This is a prank or some kind of coincidence." Hongbin said.

"Angels are not quite allowed to make pranks because some of them involve lying." The guy who assures is Hakyeon said.

"Angels?" I asked.

"Yes, I am from heaven."

"Like... heaven. The one that is above everything and everyone. Where God lives and watches over us. That heaven?"

"Do you know any other heaven?" The guy asked tilting his head to the side.

We just looked at the guy in front of us, not knowing what to do or even think. This was so strange that we didn't know how to react. Suddenly, Hyuk moved closer to him and started touching his face.

"Hyuk! What are you doing?!" Ken asked screaming.

"He doesn't have a mask or any sign of plastic surgery."

"How can you tell if someone had plastic surgery?" Ravi asked. "Just leave him alone and help us think."

"I just can! Don't act like that, hyung. You're not thinking at all because of shock."

"Shock? You've never seen an angel before?" The stranger asked.

"Of course not! Do you think that we would suspect that you're lying if we saw one?" Ken asked.

"Oh my God! No, I cannot lie! It is against the rules of heaven."

"Where did you come from?" I asked.

"I came from heaven."

"Who brought you here?"

"I fell from the sky after being pushed out of heaven."

"Huh... could he be the one who fell in that alley where there was a human shape on the ground?" Asked Hyuk looking at us.

We stayed silent. If both of this situations are connected, then there's a probability that it's true. Maybe... this is Hakyeon.

"Are you Leo?" The guy asked looking at Hyuk who was still touching his face.

"No, I'm not. Han Sanghyuk is my name, but they all call me Hyuk."

"Oh... that means that you are not in some sort of depression."

"What?" I asked.

"I'm here to heal a human called Leo who apparently misses me too much." He said.

There was a pause. Everything was silent until I spoke.

"If this is your way of trying to make me change my mind about my career then, it's making it worst." I said looking at the others.

"We didn't do this! Why would you think that?!" Ken asked in disbelief.

"Yeah... what kind of evil friends do you think we are?" Hongbin added.

"What is career? Is it like a job?" Asked the guy.

The room went silence as we all noticed that this guy doesn't even know us. If he's telling us the truth, then he could really be our Hakyeon.

"Do you know who we are?" Hyuk asked him.

"I may have known you in my human life, but right now I do not." He answered.

Hyuk looked at him weirdly. He stood up and kept observing him. After a few minutes, he whispered something about the guys clothes and asked him to stand up. When the guy stood up, Hyuk put a hand inside one of his jeans pocket.

"Hyuk! What are you doing!?" Ken asked horrified. "Don't touch a stranger like that!"

Hyuk took his hand out of the guys pocket. He had something in his hands, but we couldn't see. Suddenly, Hyuk started hugging the guy while crying.

"It's really you, hyung." He said.

"What's happening?" Ravi asked confused.

I went closer and took what Hyuk had in his hands. It was a necklace... not any necklace. It was the one he put on Hakyeon's pocket before the funeral. Since Hakyeon died a month before his birthday, Hyuk said that he needed to give him his present. I remember that he asked Hakyeon's family if he could put it on his pocket and they allowed him.

"Oh my God!" Hongbin whispered besides me.

"I can't believe this!" Ravi exclaimed.

"Now that I look at him... he's wearing the same clothes he was buried in." Ken said.

I was shocked. Before I could do or say something, I passed out.
