Love Him, Not Me

02.

     On the other side of the city sat a male with jet black hair and pale skin. He was enjoying the cold breeze at the top of the tall skyscraper. Worry and fear doesn't exist in him as he sat at the edge of ledge of the tall building. He was able to see the city lights in front of him. The light were bright and dazzling different colours, looking like fireflies as the towers around him reached the sky.

     He looked up at the moon that hung up high in the sky, the light reflected onto his hazel coloured eyes. The sky is as bright as fireworks while the clouds looked like soft cotton candy, moving in their own pace.

     The lights from the windows of  the apartments in front of him showed families who were still awake, some playing with their children while some that lived alone were typing on their laptops, probably rushing to hand up their work before the deadline.

     As he closed his eyes and smiled to himself while enjoying everything around him, a voice suddenly boomed behind him as he furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't even need to open his eyes and see who it is when he heard the squeaky voice coming from the boy.

"What is it now Jungwoo?": he asked the male in a non aggressive tone as he knew the other was just trying to cheer him up.

"Oh nothing. I just thought of accompanying you, you seem lonely like always.": he smiled before sitting down beside the male.

"How are things lately?": the blonde male asked.

"Jungwoo, you are always beside me when we don't have missions and we have not had a single mission lately.": the male rolled his eyes.

"Oh.": was all he said before keeping quite for just a millisecond before speaking up again.

"Nobody has been making wishes recently its so boring I think I might just jump down this building due to boredom.": he sighed before pouting.

"Lets just face it, making wishes to a fountain is getting old Jungwoo. Nobody in this generation does that anymore. We might as well change our roles into grim reapers and start making lists like Johnny.": the male said in a sad tone.

"But I don't wanna take away their precious lives! Its just too cruel!": the blonde male complained.

"Oh yeah, forgot you can't even hurt a fly.  Then you could just change your role and learn the harp so that you can greet the people at the gates of heaven.": he said with a chuckle.  

"I mean that could be a good idea but I love my job tho.": he said.

"Then you should just stop complaining and continue what you do best.": the male said before closing his eyes and took a deep breath.

"You're right.": he smiled to himself and enjoyed the view as stood on the ledge and enjoyed the view of the city lights.

"You know, every time I see you you are always alone in places that are quiet. Don't you wanna find a guardian who could maybe mend back that heart of yours?": Jungwoo asked.

As he asked, the male just sighed. "I told you Jungwoo, nobody can mend it back except for him and he is dead.": a tear slipped down as he held his chest, feeling his heart ache.

     After realizing that he had spoken of a sensitive topic, the blonde male instantly kept quiet and kept his head low, not wanting to hurt the other male more.

"I should get going.": the other male said and was just about to jump off and teleport, a voice suddenly called out to him.

     The both turned around and looked at the short male that looked around 10 years old. He then walked towards them and handed them each a scroll.

"Good news guardians, two mortals have made a wish so headquarters has sent you both on two separate missions. Good luck!": the boy wished them before walking away and teleported.

"Thank you Jisung!": he waved off the boy before shaking the male beside him.

"Do you see this (Y/N)?! People still make wishes!": the male jumped up and down but the other seemed frozen in his place as his face went a shade paler upon reading the wordings on the scroll.

"(M/N)?": Jungwoo called him but no respond so he tip toed and peeked at the scroll before having the same expression as the other male.

"Are you okay with this (M/N)? Do you want to switch with me? At least it wouldn't hurt as much.": the male asked with concern.

     (M/N) just smiled and shook his head before closing the scroll. "Its fine Jungwoo, but I think I handle it."

"Are you sure? (M/N) you do understand the consequences right?!": Jungwoo held onto his wrist, not letting him leave.

"I'm gonna be fine Jungwoo, don't worry about me and focus on your mission.": the male said to him with a smile before jumping down the building and teleported in front of the boy's apartment door.

"Its been a long time Renjun. How are you doing?": the male thought to himself before walking straight through the door.
