he loved ten, but he could never be more than a crush.

taeyong's pov

looking after a whole content is the hardest job in the whole world. either there's absolutely nothing happening, making my job the most boring employment in the world or on the contrary. there's too many things are happening and i need to swoop in to the rescue, without using any magic. well, at least not get caught using it, making my job the thing that makes me wanna kill myself. i always ask myself "why am i still doing this?" after a few moments of thinking, i remember why. i get watch everyone grow, i get attached to people and guide them through their lives. without them even knowing i exist...

i looked at the different watches on my wrist (one for every country) and it was around midnight in all of them. fortunately, my shift was over. i texted jungwoo to take over.

taeyongie.

welp, i guess it'll be a long night. the first thing that i thought of was to get a nice, warm cup of coffee. the bad thing about that is, i need to leave post. i ignored the urge for coffee and forced my eyes open to watch over asia. my favorite part to watch is thailand, the beautiful colors, atmosphere, the food and most importantly, the people. you have your typical nerds, rich kids, beggars, the greedy, snobs, brats, etc. but there's a certain boy.

chittaphon leechaiyapornkul. heh, I know. what a name. I just call him ten because chittaphon has ten letters and he's also a ten out of ten. he has a hot body, beautiful voice and he's so charismatic. he always helps, cares and makes people smile, whilst being so sassy, savage and confident.

oh, only if I was a human. I'd go right up to him and tell him how kind, funny, caring, helpful person he is. maybe, just maybe, I'd also touch his perfect face, lean closer to him and gently press my lips

"ah!" i yelped when i felt my head fall while leaning on my hand. I looked up and didn't see him anywhere. on post, there's a search bar that's used to find anyone, anything, anyplace and even certain molecules. I tapped on the search bar and typed in "chittaphon leechaiyapornkul" and it brought me to korea. at first I was confused, but when the search bar brought me to korea, my heart melted. he was singing and dancing at a building. I remembered that he was in an entertainment company. he deserves to be in that company. he's so talented, beautiful and he has a likable character.

he was dancing in the dance room, whilst singing his heart out. every move he made was so effortless and his voice was soft. when the song was over, he sharply stopped and breathed heavily. it was so calming. matched with sweat soaking his body, I can't believe he's still single.

he took his hat off and fanned himself with it. the instrumental of his song was on loop and when it played again, he pressed the pause button. he got his bag and when he left the room he turned off the lights.

after he arrived at the dorms, he took a shower. it surprised me to his his clothing of choice. jungwoo, unfortunately, knows my little crush for ten and took pictures of him. whenever he showed me pictures of the angel sleeping, he'd wear a sweater and shorts. even when he was sleeping, he was still adorable. anyways, instead of getting a sweater matched with shorts, he got a plain white t, black jeans, a bomber jacket, a hat and a mask. it looks like he was going somewhere where he might be going out in the public.

what would he be doing in one in the morning? is he meeting someone? maybe he's doing something illegal? no, that can't be. my little chittaphon won't do that. he's too fragile and small. my brain was trying to think of every possible scenario that would happen while he was walking out of the dorm. with every step he took, the more anxious I became. he could get hurt being alone at night.

he was so calm. I couldn't fathom why. how could he be this calm? he arrived at a park and sat on a ledge. he kicked his legs and I noticed a tall man, wearing all black walking towards him. I was ready to use my powers against him. screw the rules, I'd break every single one for him. I slowly descended down to earth at a road close to my love. quietly, I walked to the park and hid in a bush. ten was unaware of the tall man nearing him. it was adorable, but I can't get distracted now. "yah," the man in black said. I was ready to use my immortal powers on him, but I looked at ten's face.

he was smiling. "hello," he sweetly said, followed by a giggle. I didn't understand. this man is going to kill him. shrugging, I made the light in my hand brighter. I slowly stood up from my crouching position about to shoot the man, but the sight I saw made me stop in my actions. I was mortified. the two boys kissed each other...

ten smiled in the kiss, whilst the taller man wrapped his arms around him. I was so shocked that I completely blacked out, I couldn't remember a thing.

I heard soft muttering in the background and I slowly opened my eyes. I was back in the immortal world. I waited for my eyes to adjust to the light and I saw that I wasn't at an apartment I was familiar with (like mine or any of my friends) or at post. I was at a hospital? "he's awake," I heard someone say. I groaned and tried to sit up, but I didn't have the energy so I closed my eyes again. "taeyongie hyung," I heard jungwoo say, "your heart literally shattered. you won't be able to do anything on your own for a year." I felt my eyes tear up. "god dammit, fuck," I choked out, holding back my tears. "ten, right?" "don't fucking remind me," I cut jungwoo off.

I love ten. more then anyone or anything in this universe. to know that he doesn't know I exist and is with someone else is the most painful feeling in the world. no human, god, immortal, no one would understand how much this hurts.

no one knows how much a mer human means to me...
