The light she holds [Angel! K.SJ x Reader]

T W E L V E

It was dark now, and the starts were beginning to litter the night sky with their beauty. I stood at my window with a smile as I watched the night come to life- it was my favourite part of the day. My arms would gently wrap around me and I would think about my day and how blessed I was to have the things that I did.

But my peace was interrupted in mere seconds.

"(Y/NNNN)!" Jin sung out in an annoying tone as he walked out of the bathroom and stood in the lounge room just behind me, "this contraption on my wing is starting to itch!"

I knew exactly why it was starting to itch, it meant that the wing was mended and there was absolutely no reason that Jin couldn't fly anymore.

Perfect...

No matter how much I didn't want to tell him, I couldn't take away Jin's ability to fly. I had to tell him the truth so he could feel more comfortable in the strange place that he has already had enough trouble adjusting to.

"Ok Jin," I mumbled softly as I walked toward him and began to take apart the splint that I had placed on his wing. My fingertips gently dragged across the feathered surface and I had never felt something a soft in my entire life. It almost made me giddy.

I could feel his excitement as he watched me take away the splint, his feet were doing this little happy shuffle as he patiently waited to be freed from the little nest that he had been cooped up in for so long. He was ready to fly.

Literally.

"There you are." I told him as I ran a hand across the strong and firm bone line, enjoying the soft feeling of his feathers before he stepped away and went towards my window. He quickly opened it up and crouched on the side of it with a wide grin as he looked down at the city.

But he didn't fly, he turned and looked back to me for a moment with his wings tucked behind his back as if he was going to retract from the window. I realised that he was silently asking for my permission- which I found surprising.

"Go, I'll be here." I told him and he was out the window in a matter of seconds. I quickly ran over and looked over the edge of the window sil as I watched Jin plummet through the air down towards the ground. My apartment was nearing the top floor, and I was extremely concerned about the amount of time he was spending not opening his wings.

"Oh god, he is still hurt isn't he?" I asked and put my hands over my eyes but spacing them apart so I could still have a peak to make sure he was fine.

And then he opened his wings and soared.

It was the most breath taking thing that I had ever seen in all of my life. His wings glistened against the moon's soft light as he began to flap them and gain height as he spun through the air like an arrow that was just fired from a bow. His face showed nothing but pure glee.

I smiled as I watched him twirl and zip around the place with his trumendous speed. And now that he was flying, I could see for myself just how large his wings were. They were two if not three times the size of himself and they stretched out to support the angel.

It truely was breath taking.

He glided over effortlessly to the side of my apartment, meeting me at the window with a large and excited grin. I felt the wind of his wings as they beat through the air to support him in his place, the wind felt crisp and sharp against my face and I shivered ever so slightly.

"It's breathtaking to watch you," I told him, my voice being overwhelmed by my honesty as I spoke to the angel who began to glow with bashfullness as he rubbed the back of his neck, "I used to dream of flying when I was a little girl."

Jin looked to me with a suddenly serious expression once he had heard my statement. He tilted his head towards me slightly while his eyebrows gently furrowed in thought, his wings still beating against the air to keep him in place. With a quick, sharp inhale, Jin spoke-

"Then let's not keep that little girl dreaming," He whispered as he stretched the both of his arms out to me, gesturing for me to come towards him, "come fly with me (Y/N)."

His words pierced my heart in a way that I wasn't ready for. It was like he had tapped into a memory that even I had forgotten existed.

My family weren't the kind to acknowledge silly fantasies, in our house the only thing ever spoken was achievable goals and no funny business. My brother and I were so alike for fraternal twins. We shared many of the same interests and looked like one another, but nothing overally serious.

I remembered how I tried to be strong for my brother, I tried to be his happiness until he was old enough to find his own happiness....

But that day never came for my brother.

So in that moment, after recounting everything that I just had, I looked up to Jin and took in a sharp breath as I stepped up onto my windowsill and leaned out to Jin with my arms.

Jin watched me carefully, being prepared to catch me at any moment that he had to. That's when he met my nervous gaze and filled me with the confidence that I lacked within those adrenaline filled moments. I felt my body lean more away from the windowsill and I could sense Jin immediately coming closer.

And that little girl from all those years ago....

Finally took flight.
