The weekend had passed and the three angels still hadn't found anything useful regarding their mission. Now they were back like their first day, walking together to their first class, chemistry.
"Woong, sit with Youngjo again today," Geonhak suggested as he rummaged through his locker to find his stationery.
"Why me?" The said angel protested while leaning his head back against the locker beside Geonhak's, unconsciously sticking his bottom lips out, making a pout.
"He has an obvious crush on you, that means it's more likely he lets his guard down around you and the probability of him cracking or slipping is higher when you're the one who's prying," Seoho answered with a full explanation.
"Come one, it's just for one period," Seoho pleaded one more time as they reached the classroom, unknown to him that Hwanwoong also had another meeting with the demon later. Hwanwoong looked at both of his friends in turns, he guessed he had no choice but to comply.
Once they went in, Youngjo's eyes were immediately glued to Hwanwoong, following his every movement, how his hands gripped tightly around his books, how his feet made small but fast steps. Youngjo was totally fascinated by him. His lips turned upwards once he realised the boy was walking towards his seat. He brushed the surface of the table and seat with his hands, treating Hwanwoong like a royalty even though both the table and chair were already clean even before his attempt at impressing him.
"You're sitting with me again?" Youngjo asked, unable to contain his beaming smile. Hwanwoong nodded, returning his smile with another that was just a bright.
"So you're finally willing to spend time with me?" He asked again, a huge smile was still plastered on his face.
Hwanwoong hesitated for a second, a small smile still evident on his face. But then he agreed right after, nodding his head up and down with great force to look enthusiastic. It was for their mission, he had convinced himself.
Hwanwoong broke the eye contact first by redirecting his attention to his phone. He knew he had to start questioning the demon soon but he was unable to think of a way to start. Flat out asking him would just be suspicious, he was sure Youngjo wasn't that lovestruck enough to not notice.
"Why isn't he questioning him?" Seoho whispered to Geonhak as they watched the two. Hwanwoong was busy with his phone while Youngjo was busy admiring the angel's beauty, truly tragic.
"I'll text him," said Geonhak.
Once he had read the text, Hwanwoong turned his head to face his two friends with a sour expression. The two angel made signs with their hands, motioning and pointing towards Youngjo. This opportunity might not come again, it was also a good time since class hadn't started yet. It made Hwanwoong frowned even more.
Frustrated, Hwanwoong turned his head back and focused his eyes on his phone's frame. Conflicted on what to do, he unconsciously pouted his lips. He was thinking hard, it was not like he disliked the demon, he just wasn't sure how to approach that topic without making things awkward.
"Is there something wrong?" A voice snapped Hwanwoong out of his thoughts. He turned to face the owner, Youngjo's eyebrows were furrowed and his bottom lip was tucked under his teeth. Hwanwoong wondered if Youngjo knew what he was thinking about, would Youngjo still be as concerned for him.
Hwanwoong looked to his side and back at Youngjo a few times, thinking if he should just say it or not, and finally decided to shook his head, denying that he was bothered by something.
Youngjo frowned, he just wanted to try helping Hwanwoong out. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"
He couldn't, he thought Youngjo had known that already. Angels and demons had secrets they couldn't tell the other, this was one of those. And why would he even tell his target about their mission anyway.
He put his phone down, looked at Youngjo right in the eye again, inhaling as much air as he could as he gathered his courage and thoughts. "Do you like earth?"
Youngjo looked at Hwanwoong with a blank expression, a bit taken aback by his sudden random question. He leaned back, breaking the eye contact while fixing his shirt before he suddenly turned his head back to face the shorter again.
"Yeah, cause I met you here," he answered with a smile, a genuine smile, succeeding in making Hwanwoong who expected a serious answer to be both flustered and annoyed.
"Why is he laughing?" Geonhak asked towards his seatmate who was also watching the two converse. He thought the questions Hwanwoong should be asking were about serious matters, not something that would make Youngjo looked happy and satisfied.
"Do I look like I can read minds?" Seoho looked at Geonhak in disbelief which only got him a scoff from the other angel. "You never know what that demon is thinking, he might answer the questions with flirts and pick-up lines instead of actual answers."
"So he might be smarter than he looks?" Geonhak mumbled, it was possible he tried to hide the facts by just randomly answering the questions.
"Or just unbelievably blinded by love," Seoho corrected. Geonhak side-eyed Seoho for a bit before continuing to observe their target. Oddly delighted, that was how he would describe the demon right now. He guessed Seoho's assumption might be more likely than he thought. Love did do some weird things to people, mortal or not.
Hwanwoong, who was a bit irritated that the demon decided to tease him instead, decided to tease him back, by not complying to his cheesy lines. He smirked at the question he thought of, "what if you didn't meet me here, would you still like earth?"
Youngjo frowned at even the thought of it. He shook his head lightly and took Hwanwoong's hands in his own. The angel raised his eyebrows, startled at the other's action. When he turned his gaze back to the taller, his frown had already turned upside down, making him even more confused.
"I can't bear to even think about life without you, my angel. Let's not think about changing fate, shall we?" And with that, Youngjo landed a soft kiss onto Woong's knuckles. The blond on the other hand, was dumbfounded at how the man in front of him was still able to smoothly flirt with him without a fail.
Geonhak let out a small gag watching the two of them to which Seoho responded with an eyeroll.
"You and Dongju are worse, you know," Seoho said as he shook his head, disapproving Geonhak's reaction.
"Nah, I'm sure we're cuter than them," Geonhak disagreed. There was no way in his mind that Dongju and him were as cheesy, if not worse, than those two love birds.
Unfortunately, their observation and little flirting session was cut short by the teacher who was starting the class.
