"We're going to heaven?" She asked excitedly, morbidly curious as to what was happening. The thought was still just barely on the edge of her mind that she had managed her jump and was now in some strange, pre-death dream, but it couldn't hurt to play along. Also, if there was a heaven, she could try and figure out how to get in after she died, get a head start in the information department.

"No," Felix said, crushing her aspirations in an instant. "I'm going to heaven. You're going to wait here."

"Why?" She whined. "What happened to protecting me?"

"You'll be fine, it'll only be a minute. I just need to get Bang Chan."

"Bang Chan?" She asked.

"The archangel."

"No, I know, it just didn't seem like an... archangel-y name."

"I mean, is Felix an angel-y name? Or honestly, are Seungmin and Jeongin?"

"I thought you said they weren't angels."

"They're not." He corrected, clearing his throat awkwardly. "Anyway, what did you want our names to be, Nephalussestamus or something?"

"I... I mean, I guess not."

"Exactly. Now sit tight."

"But I-"

"Sit." He demanded, holding a hand out in front of him. As if out of nowhere, a blue, flickering line appeared in midair. Slipping his hand into it, he slid through the fabric of the universe in front of her, leading the line to neatly zip behind him. I guess they can just... open heavenly gates from anywhere. She thought, sitting down on her bed in annoyance.

"This is so boring." She said out loud, flopping backwards in exasperation. "Right when I find out angels exist, they all ditch me to go to heaven."

"So he left, then?" she heard a voice say to her left. Shooting back into a sitting position, breath hitching, her eyes darted around the room, landing on a sickly familiar figure.

"S-Seungmin! What- I- Get away from me!"

"Hmm?" He hummed nonchalantly. "Why would you want me to leave? After all, I'm-"

"Cut the shit, Felix told me what was going on. I know you're not my guardian angel." His eyes changed, the clarity somehow dimming.

"Ah. I see. And what, pray tell, did he say that I am?"

"A- a-" She tried to say, swallowing hard.

"Come on, you've got it." Breathing in, sobered by his patronizing comment, she said,

"He told me you're a demon." At this word, his eyes narrowed, lip rising just slightly and nose scrunching in disgust.

"Ugh. I hate that word. I'm not a demon. The demons were created by God indirectly, they're rotten human bodies that have lost all of the human aspects soul. They're shells. They care for nothing and live to eat. It's repulsive that he'd even associate me with that."

"If you're not a demon, then what are you?" She demanded, backing up against the wall inch by inch, trying to think out potential escape plans should something happen. Not that she'd have a chance of outrunning something like this.

"I'm a fallen angel." He said curtly.

"So you left heaven?" She asked. "Like in the Bible stories? Fighting God, all that?"

"He would want you to think that, wouldn't he?" Seungmin sneered. "No, I didn't fight God. He threw me out."

"Why?"

"You tell me. I still don't know." Eyes thinning in skepticism, she posed,

"So you just... woke up down here?"

"Well... not exactly. But that's a story for another day. For now, there's much to discuss."

"I don't think there's anything to discuss." She argued. "You lied to me. I have no idea what's going on, I'm just finding out all of this, honestly it's a miracle that I haven't gone into shock yet, and now you want a favor?"

"Look, I'm trying to get back into heaven." He snarled, cutting her off with the banging of his hand on her wall. She jumped in surprise, body instinctively recoiling away from him. "I saved your life. And you are going to help me get back into heaven."

"I'm just some girl!" She said, not understanding how he was so delusional. "Are you insane? I don't know how to get into heaven! I didn't even know if there was a heaven until like, five seconds ago. So thanks, but no thanks."

"You don't get to say no thanks." Seungmin said. "You either agree to help me and cooperate, or we force your participation by unsavory methods."

"No wonder you got kicked out." She muttered under her breath.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing." She said, laying back down on her bed. "All I asked for was some time. And here you are, half an hour later. I'd assume you all are immortal, but that's not really that long, especially for humans."

"We're not immortal." He commented. It wasn't really relevant, but he seemed to possess some sort of need to be right, even in passing. "You could kill an angel if you wanted to. Except for archangels. They only die if they want to."

"If... they die if they want to?" She asked, confused. Shaking his head, he said,

"You wouldn't get it. Humans are always trying to find ways to live longer." Raising an eyebrow, he looked over, realizing his mistake.

"O-oh. I mean... it's- it's not like that, it's different with angels. I'll tell you about it some other time."

"Some other time? This isn't a summer fling, man, you can't just turn up in my house whenever you want. Felix is going to be back any second, too, and he's apparently looking for you. There is no 'some other time'."

"Y/N, I don't have a choice, so neither do you. I need you to get back into heaven, I-" As he was pleading with her, she heard a high pitched noise, although it wasn't hurting her ears. It was more like a vibration, grabbing onto her lungs and pulling through into reality. Looking to Seungmin, she realized that he was definitely hearing it too. His eyes widened.

"Shit, he's here." Wings unfolding from his back, he ran towards the door, looking back one more time to see her. After a short pause, he said,

"Don't worry. I'm coming back for you."
