"Let me wake up, for fucks sake!"
He was frustrated. He tried so damn hard to somehow get himself back to the real world but instead he was now trapped in a place worse than before.
"What did I do to deserve this?" he muttered weakly, his throat aching with each word, he dropped to his knees on the nonexistent ground. Everything around him was white. There wasn't anything else, he couldn't hear or see anything else. He shut his eyes tightly, protecting them from the painfully blinding light.
For a second he almost wished he was back in his dream land with Riza that only he could control, he regretted ever hating that damned place.
But he wasn't there anymore, he couldn't switch to comatose mode either. That must mean that he had gotten closer, closer to freedom. Right?
All he did was scream at the sky for hours, his voice had long lost itself, he could barely speak a word without it sounding gravelly and rough.
The skies had enough of his begging there, so they just decided to send him away into nothingness instead? Was this his hell?
"Why am I stuck here...?" his voice was barely above a whisper, he leaned onto the ground, using his hands as support. His eyes were still shut, too damaged to expose them to the brightness again.
"You wanna leave already, Taehyungie?"
His entire body tensed, he was frozen. Blood ran cold and fists clenched enough for his knuckles to turn white.
"You're weaker than I thought, pretty boy," the voice mocked. Taehyung couldn't see him but by his tone alone one could tell that he was wearing a smirk.
His voice sounded familiar to Taehyung, he almost knew exactly who it belonged to, almost, but it was just at the tip of his tongue.
"Come on, come on, now. Look at me," the voice urged. Taehyung heard the person move closer to him, his voice was much clearer than before, so Taehyung assumed the man had crouched down to his level.
Taehyung breathed heavily, slowly lifting his head. It felt hot, as if he was standing right underneath a scorching sun.
As soon as he let his eyes open he fell back again, holding an arm over his eyes to shield them. Whatever the hell was in front of him, it was brighter than the pure white surrounding them.
The man- the being- was glowing, Taehyung only saw the faint outline of a man for a split second before his eyes couldn't take it anymore. They felt burned already. It felt as if he had been at an arms length with the actual Sun and stared right into its core."Oh, I forgot how bright I shine, silly me," the voice chuckled lightly, "I'll dim the lights down for ya', Taehyungie."
A snap of the man's fingers and Taehyung could tell even with his eyes shut tight and covered by his arm that the deadly light had dimmed down.
He was still breathing heavily, barely processing any thoughts through his head.
"Start cooperating before I get annoyed, angel, I've got places to bless and people to blind," the humour and lightheartedness that laced the being's voice before was gone, replaced with slight annoyance and urgency.
Taehyung made an attempt at clearing his throat, regretting it immediately when he felt pain in it. He slowly let himself open his eyes again, letting out a breath of relief when he wasn't faced with white anymore.
They were on top of a grassy hill, the sky was pitch black and filled with the moon and stars. It was one of his own places, Taehyung realised, a place he'd shown to Riza.
He forced his eyes to meet the man standing before him.
"Handsome, aren't I?"
