Shades of Blue

| 21 | Delinquent angels

The urge to turn this into a poly book is strong.

                                🍀

It's a peaceful Monday afternoon for Hyungsik as he comfortably slouches on his living room couch. One hand holding his coffee and the other holding the tv remote as he searches through movies to watch.

He had planned on spending the day peacefully in the comforts of his couch but unfortunately luck has other plans for him, because just as he is about to click 'play', his living room door bursts open to reveal two guardian angels.

' Oh no, what now,'

Hyungsik tries to hide himself further into the couch hoping it would open a hole and swallow him in if it means he could escape from them.

They practically stomp in without hesitation with the four others of the group following as their eyes travel across the whole room. Their features morph into a scowl as soon as they land on his figure on the couch.

With one swift motion, Jimin has hyungsik's collar tightly gripped with one hand as he holds him up against a wall, almost choking him.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Jimin growled out.

'Did what?' he wants to asks but the words don't come out as he gets short of breathe while trying to get Jimin to let him down.

"Jimin, let the man breathe so he can talk." Hoseok says from where he is standing beside him.

"Don't worry, hyung. He isn't gonna die a second time." He takes a short glance at Hoseok before setting his menacing glare back at Hyungsik again. "Now would you, Hyungsik? Is that why you're getting so brave? Huh?"

"Let m-me go fi... I-"

Jimin abruptly pulls back his hand before stepping away a little which causes Hyungsik to stumble slightly after his feet touch the ground again.

He takes a few long breathes trying to steady himself before he goes "What the heck are you guys even talking about?!" He stands up straight before stepping away from Jimin and a little towards Hoseok. "As far as I remember, I haven't done anything for you guys to try and kill me!" He coughs out.

"What do you mean you haven't done anything?!" Jimin tries to lunge at him again at that but fortunately for Hyungsik, Taehyung holds him back, wrapping both his arms around his torso as he practically thrashes around trying to be free.

"It's okay, Jimin-ah. Let hyung handle this." Yoongi says as he walks closer to Hyungsik with calm steps. Seeing that, Hyungsik relaxes a bit before coming out of his hiding spot from behind Hoseok.

But before he can even say anything, his collars are once again in a tight grip as a wild Yoongi jerks him back and forth screaming, "THEN WHY THE F*CK IS Y/N'S RED STRING CONNECTED TO HER TEACHER YOU SHIT EATING F- "

This time Namjoon rushes forward, putting a hand over Yoongi's mouth to stop any further profanities from coming out. He pulls him back the same way as Jimin was pulled away before trying to calm him down.

"What does that have anything to do with me?!" Hyungsik cries out from behind Hoseok as the said man tries to pull him out of his hiding spot. "And why are you so furious about something like this?!"

"What's going on here?" A voice interrupts from behind them. They look back to find Hyungsik's friend who has somehow always been there ever since the first day the boys woke up in heaven. They now know his name to be Seojun.

"This man is the reason we are potential disgraces as guardian angels." Jimin points at Hyungsik not sparing Seojun a glance as he glares at the man in front of him, "and our baby might never get to grow old with her soulmate."

"Uh...I don't know the whole story but it seems like you guys are overreacting a little-" Seojun stops himself from finishing the sentence when he notices all their glares now directed at him "I mean, you guys are not wrong haha but let's do this peacefully, mind explaining me the whole thing?" He sheepishly takes a seat on the couch while ushering others to do the same.

🌸

"So you're saying that y/n's soulmate is someone who she has a very low chance of ending up with and you're worried because that increases the chance of you guys being held up as objects of ridicule for your failure?"

That's right. After two soulmates see each other for the first time, a red string forms, which connects them. This happens immediately upon first eye contact and it becomes the duty of the guardian angels to bring them together. If they fail to do so, they receive much mockery from other angels in heaven and are regarded as 'disgraces.'

They nod. "And it's not just that. You would know if you saw that guy's face. It screams 'playboy', We would never want our baby to end up with someone like him, even if it'll save us from a lifetime of disgrace. Namjoon grimaces at the thought of y/n getting heartbroken again. "And if not for this guy," he points at Hyungsik making him flinch slightly "we wouldn't have to face such a big problem in the first place."

"Like I said already, I have absolutely no control over who gets mated with y/n or any other person. Never did, never will. Matches are made by God, how does that have anything to do with me?" Hyungsik whines, trying to defend himself.

"Yeah, he's right. It's true that we handle matters related to you guys and who you are assigned to but we don't have any control over soulmates." Seojun says with a shrug.

"Then who do we have to murder to change this?"

Seojun lets out an exasperated sigh at that. "Oh my God, why are you guardian angels so... aggressive?" He plants his face on his palms that are resting on his thighs. "Have you even tried to get to know the guy she's mated with? People are often not how they seem like, y'know?" He sits up straight again, "Maybe he's a good guy and maybe your job won't be as hard you think it'll be."

This puts the boys into thought as they go silent for a while. They decide to have hope and leave for the time being, but not before saying "It better not be.", setting their warning eyes specifically on Seojun this time making him shiver slightly in fear.

"Damn...why can't guardian angels be a bit more like us normal angels? " Hyungsik mumbles out while caressing his throat as he watches the boys leave, "They are like evil delinquents."

"They are people picked from hell, specifically for this job. What else do you expect?"

"You're right." He lets out a sigh. "The job of a guardian angel is not something a normal angel could ever do.

You need that bit of evil in you for this."
