Eyes of Heaven - Spirit Bound (Hiatus.)

1. Deal With the Devil (2/4)

It convinced (Y/N) that Mitsunari was real no matter the form he took. She figured that only she could see him with the wings and alluring eyes, which slightly troubled her yet amused her. The other members would give her funny looks and tease her about it.

"What are you looking at, (Y/N)?" Kara asked her curiously that evening. Kara was the youngest among the four of them, giving off the epitome innocence and purity. Everyone was drawn to her by those sparkling green eyes and silvery brunette hair that draped along her shoulders and chest. She was small and slim, using a school uniform, like the rest of the members.

(Y/N) turned to her, smiling. "Ah, I'm just looking at my temporary manager. He's adorable."

"Oh, Mr. Ishida!" She smiled back, her voice as light as a feather. "He's an angel."

"Like you." (Y/N) patted Kara on the head, and she giggled. It was like Kara was her little sister, whereas Chunhei and Minnie were her elder sisters. The four of them stuck together through out their trainee days, depending on one another since. (Y/N) and Kara were new to the entertainment industry, making the pair closer. Sometimes, they were mistaken as siblings. Even (Y/N) had instinctively called Kara her baby sister in public - she had a feeling that the tabloids would claim them as biological sisters when they debut.

Speaking of debut, the four of them were prepping for their first music video. The make up artists were dolling them up after they dressed within a school concept. (Y/N)'s make up artist had it easy - (Y/N) had a natural look that only uses a thin layer of make-up, which is why she was the main visual of the group.

"Wow, you're so pretty!" Someone gasped. (Y/N) turned around, seeing Mitsunari smile at her direction. Recall that (Y/N) could only see the boy's true form. While everyone can see Mitsunari all giddy and bright, (Y/N) could argue that Mitsunari's wings were slightly spread compared to the relaxed, compressed form. Kara was right, he is an angel.

"Thanks, Mr. Ishida." (Y/N) smiled at him, bowing a bit in respect.

"The stage is set, so you all can stretch to get ready for filming," Mitsunari announced to the other members within the dressing room before turning to (Y/N), whispering, "You should smile more often, my lady. It suits you well."

"Noted." (Y/N) nodded before Mitsunari left the room for more work to do.

"You both are so adorable," Chunhei put her arm around (Y/N), leaning against her. "This is the first time you aren't salty on a superior. Hell, you even go off at me, being older than you."

"I don't know. He's a sweetheart." (Y/N) shrugged. "When he yelled at me, I actually felt bad. I don't want to say he acts like a baby? But he acts like a baby. Not in a bad way."

Mitsunari was like Kara in a way, he gave off an innocent and pure aura, but not only that, he gave a sense of sincerity that just softened her judgmental heart. She found no blame in him - and if he did have any, she could easily brush it off. It was strange, but she was touched, it warmed her and gave her some sort of boost - which she needed as idols struggle to stay within high expectancy. Mitsunari wasn't only an angel, but a guardian angel. Her guardian angel.

The four had finished stretching by then, standing in the set. The camera crew was setting up the film and the microphones, and the girls waited.

"Na na na..." Minnie skipped along, brushing against the other three as she sang. Chunhei stood still, looking like she was asleep standing up. Kara stayed put, but her eyes followed Minnie with a smile on her face. Minnie squished her cheeks, and Kara squealed, trying to escape as the two laughed.
