"My..brother?" Soona felt her dry lips mouth those words, but it sounded too quiet for the others to hear.
"I didn't want to admit it earlier, but I always had a feeling.." Taehyun looks between the two, Beomgyu looked confused.
"Brother? How?" He says with widened eyes.
"The watch your grandmother was given is the same as the ones passed down in Soona's family; that's why there's no mistaking it.." Taehyun pointed to the watch Soona had.
"Why did you need my blood?" He held his finger up looking at the incision mark.
"To wake her up from the state she's in, it only words with family blood, and it's confirmed now for sure. Soona and you are half siblings." Taehyun says, those words made Soona sit up, too fast that her head was pounding.
"Have you told him?" Taehyun asks you Soona.
"Huh? oh, I haven't." She shakes her head, Taehyun looked at Beomgyu with serious eyes.
"Beomgyu you might not believe what i'm about to tell you, but please listen carefully." Taehyun takes a deep breath.
"Soona and you are related right? Soona is..an angel." He starts off saying.
"An angel? Well of course she's so nice." He says completely not understanding the full story.
"No no, a actual angel sent down." He says seriously this time, and Beomgyu sits in thought for a few seconds.
"An angel? like from heaven?" He asked tilting his head.
"Yes." Soona answered him.
"You guys are joking with me." He says, laughing, and stops slowly as he sees their faces not moving.
"Wait you're serious? How?"
"You never noticed how your blood isn't red like the rest of the others?" Taehyun says.
"I thought I was just strange..." He says, looking at his finger.
"So wait, you're an angel then what am I?"
"You're half, I'm guessing, considering you don't know your powers, and your grandma never mentioned anything to you. Likely to protect you." Taehyun says.
"Don't tell the others about this, humans aren't allowed to know, if they do we, Me, Yena and Soona; have to leave. " He says motioning to them both.
"I can't believe it, is this a dream i'm having?" He says, pinching himself; he realized then it wasn't.
"Anyways, We three have a mission we can't tell you, but once it's over, we'll be leaving."
"Leaving? Why?" He says with a frown.
"It's our job, we have others to help." Soona says patting his shoulder.
"I just found out I have a sister and you're leaving again soon?!" He says crossing his arms.
"Sorry, it's my reason for being an angel."
"Don't worry, you have some time live anyways, Soona. I'll leave you two; it's late. I have to do my assignments at home. Be safe." Taehyun waves them a goodbye.
"Are you feeling okay?" Beomgyu asked.
"I'm better now, my head a little sore, but I'll manage." She rubbed her temples.
"I can't believe I have a sister.." He says still in disbelief.
"I am just as shocked as you but i'm glad." She says, hugging him, she always felt a connection toward him, but now she knew why.
"I am a little sad that you're leaving soon.." He sighed.
"Don't worry, we can spend our time everyday." She reassured him, he smiled.
"Oh it's getting late, do you need me to call anyone to take you home?" Soona asked.
"Can I stay here for now? I have question I want to ask about our family." He asked, Soona smiled as the questions began flowing out.
-
That morning Soona awoke to a Beomgyu who was hitting her face with a pillow.
"Yeah, what're you doing?" She whined and grabbed the pillow now hitting him.
"It's time to go to school, you slept in late!" He yelled.
"What time is it ?!" She sits up panicking.
"7:10 AM."
"Oh no the late bell is in 30 minutes! I'll get changed, and we can go, sorry!" She ran off to the bathroom.
Her hair was all over the place in every direction almost; she quickly brushed her hair out. She took her toothbrush, wet it, and applied it to toothpaste.
By time she was ready to go it was 7:25am.
"Let's hurry!" She grabbed his arm and the two fled off out the building.
"You two are late but glad you're here, take a seat." The teacher says seeing the two run inside, 5 minutes late.
"Sorry, it won't happen again." Soona apologized and took her seat beside Yeonjun.
Yeonjun looked between the two, 'Why're they both late?' His mind wondered.
"Hey, I have an idea!" Yena says, pulling Soona's arm in gym class; she led her over to the bleachers and sat down.
"What?"
"Let's tell Beomgyu and Yeonjun we're going to all go see a movie, then halfway through, let's leave them together. It's a perfect plan for them to be having a date." Yena suggested.
"Really? Leave halfway?" Soona scoffed.
"Oh come on, let's do it! I'll go ahead and test them." She took her phone out, and her fingers are typing away.
"Ok ok, but don't drag me into anything else." Soona says going back to play dodge ball.
-
"Hey Beomgyu, Yena and Soona asked if we want to watch a movie with them later today."
"Oh? Let's go."
Yeonjun smiled and typed his reply back, He rather be alone with Beomgyu but this was enough.
-
"He said yes! Okay so after school you go buy the snacks and i'll go home to prepare the living room." Yena squealed, she was a little too excited.
"Where are we going to go when we leave them?"
"Oh, let's just say we got a urgent call from our parents!" She comes up with a great lie; Yena was always good at coming up with last-minute lies. Being a liar wasn't always bad I suppose..
-
Lunch was very noisy, everyone talking, laughing, and hitting each other playfully.
"Hey, you're not eating again?" Taehyun asked beside Soona, she was spaced out.
"Huh? Sorry." She laughed nervously and picked up her spoon; her hand was a bit shaky.
"Why're you're shaking? are you cold?" He asked, she shook her head in a 'No'.
"Don't think too much, it makes you sick again." He whispered.
The truth was she was nervous about going back; she wanted to live this way forever but knew that it was never meant to be.
She enjoyed having friends and now a brother; she felt closer than to her own family up above.
"What movie are we watching late?" Beomgyu asked the question made Soona snap back into reality.
"How about horror?" She suggested and Beomgyu smiled.
"I like it!"
"I enjoy it as well, let's agree on horror." Yeonjun agreed beside Beomgyu.
"Good! We need time to prepare things so let's set the time for .... 6pm!" Yena says holding her hand out for a high-five.
Beomgyu high-fives her, followed by Yeonjun; she held her hand toward Soona now.
"Okay fine." Soona sighed and returned the high five.
"Soona is in charge of snacks if you have any wishes please consult her."
"I want ramen, please, spicy flavors." Yeonjun asked.
"Noted, anything else?"
"I want the same."
"Okay spicy ramen is noted i'll buy assorted kinds!"
-
"Hey, Are you feeling okay? I was worried yesterday." Soobin asked, he was standing beside the locker of Soona.
"I'm fine now, thanks for worrying."
"Are you busy tomorrow?"
"Me? No i'm not."
"Do you want to go with me to the theme park?"
"Theme park? Aren't you scared?" Soona laughed.
"I can handle it!"
"Sure, what time?"
"I'll meet you at 2PM."
"Deal, see you tomorrow." She smiled, he smiles and struts away.
-
Soona made her way down the pavement toward the small convenience store, she usually visited it after class.
She walked around the isle, looking at the types of ramen. There was an array of spicy flavors from chicken to seafood flavors.
She didn't know which would be best for Yeonjun and Beomgyu. She didn't want to spend all her money so she opened the phone to text him.
To Yeonjun
-What type of flavor ramen do you like best?-
She waited for about two minutes but didn't get a reply, well then.
She sighed and began picking up three different spicy ramens. She was waiting for a text that didn't seem to come.
Her hands were getting full so she needed a basket; she walked over to the front door to grab one.
The door bell rang as someone came inside, it was Kai.
"Oh? You're here too?" He says seeing her struggling to grab the basket.
"I'll get it." He grabbed the black basket by the handle and she put the noodles inside.
"Thanks, I got it now." She took the basket from him.
"Why're you buying so many?"
"Beomgyu and Yeonjun are coming over, They said they wanted spicy ramen."
"Ah, Yeonjun mentioned before he liked strong flavors; this one is good." The pointed toward the seafood one.
"Ah, thank you, i'll grab more flavorful ones." She walked back to the isle.
"This one is good too. Here I'll pick the ramen. You can go get whatever else you need." He offered.
"Thank you." She walked to the drink fridges and opened the door, the cold air brushed against her face.
"They both like coke, but i'll grab some teas also." She grabbed a few teas and coke. She prepared coke, but she didn't mind a tea every once in and while. There was different flavors of tea, from mint to even milk tea.
"Wow that's a lot!" Kai says as he noticed her placing the drinks into the basket.
"All my money is gone after this, so what did you come here for?"
"I just came to buy ice cream for me and Soobin."
"Ah, thank you for helping me. See you around." She smiled, she walked to the counter and paid the man the needed cash.
-
"These noodles! You picked a good variety!"
"I met Kai at the store and he helped."
"Kai?! Why didn't I go with you? I could have seen him." She pouted.
"Oh be quiet and put these drinks in the fridge!"
-
"They should be here soon, oh speaking of! Yeonjun just texted me they're close."
A knock was heard at the door after two minutes, Soona opened the door to great them.
"I bought a lot of noodles so I hope you're both hungry."
"Oh starving!" Yeonjun looked at the noodles with his mouth almost drooling.
"Wow, there's so many flavors; I want to try all." Beomgyu grabbed a package and went to heat water up.
"Be careful." Yeonjun sang as he watched
him with a close eye.
"Soona help me set this DVD player up." Soona walked over and crouched down to help Yena.
"Let me do it, you're going to hurt yourself."
Yeonjun moved Beomgyu to the side as she began to watch the water boiling.
"It's hot enough now." He took the noodles and placed them inside.
"I'll get the drinks." Beomgyu walked to the fridge and his eyes immediately saw the coke, he grabbed two.
"Do you want a coke?" Beomgyu smiled standing beside him.
"Yes sure." Yeonjun smiled back as she also kept a close eye on the noodles.
"Ah now we put the DVD in." Yena took out the DVD and pushed it into the feeder.
"The movie is prepared we just wait for the food." Yena walked over to the fridge grabbing her drink, she liked to drink green tea.
"Wow, they smell so good." Yena looked at the noodles that Yeonjun was placing in a big bowl.
"Hey, help me grab the plates." Yena rapped Soona's arm.
Soona grabbed the plates out of the cabinet, and Yena grabbed chopsticks for them all.
"You have enough chopsticks?" Beomgyu noticed the amount.
"One pair is missing sorry, someone has to chair."
"We can share." Yeonjun immediatly says pointing to Beomgyu.
Yena tried to hold back her smile from the small moment.
"It's hot so be careful everyone."
Yeonjun warmed as he sat on the couch; Beomgyu sat next to him.
Yena and Soona sat on the floor below the couch; they had laid out blankets and pillows to make the wooden floor softer.
"Isn't it too hard to sit there?" Beomgyu asked.
"No, we're fine." Yena replies back.
Yeonjun picked up some noodles with the chopsticks and blew them lightly; he then held them toward Beomgyu.
"Eat." He says, the noodles still had a small amount of steam coming off.
Beomgyu slowly placed his mouth over the chopsticks, the noodles slightly burned his tongue, but it was bearable. The taste of the noodles was so flavorful he didn't even mind the burning.
"It's so good!"
Yeonjun took his own bite now and closed his eyes humming in happiness.
The movie started, it was a horror movie with lots of blood.
Soona didn't mind horror but Yena did.
"Soona i'm scared."
Yena tried to hide her eyes behind the shirt sleeve of Soona.
"Oh come on." Soona laughed.
"Ah ah my mouth is burning!" Soona yelled out and chugged her tea. The burning was really bad now, she shut her eyes tightly.
"Are you okay?" Beomgyu laughed at her.
"I'm fine, ah i'll go wash my mouth!" She ran out of the room into her bathroom, turned the faucet on, and rinsed her mouth out.
"Oh, I'm getting a call. I'll come back sorry guys." Yena stepped outside the front door and smiled; she succeeded.
"Are you scared?" Yeonjun asked, it was slightly dark except for the light of the movie.
"A little." Beomgyu says, his grip was tight on Yeonjun's shirt sleeve.
"It's okay, hug me if you need." Yeonjun chuckled.
Beomgyu hugged Yeonjun tightly and buried his face into his neck, his eyes shut.
"You're really that scared? I'm here." Yeonjun hugged him.
Beomgyu could feel Yeonjun's heart beating as his ear was laid across his chest.
"Your hearts beating fast, are you okay?" Beomgyu asked out the blue.
"Hm? I'm fine." Yeonjun said feeling embarrassed.
-
Soona finished washing her mouth and walked out of the bathroom into her room. She hears the sound of her window being opened from the outside and looked confused.
There was no way to reach that window, it was in the air... too high.
Suddenly Taehyun stepped through the window; her eyes widened as she held her tongue that was sore.
"Taehyun! what're you doing?"
She whisper yelled.
"Sorry, It's urgent." He says walking up to her.
"You caught me in a weird time.." She let go of her tongue.
"I can see... Anyways, I got a message from the councils."
"Oh what's it say?"
"To Taehyun; please inform the others of this message.
We have heard the news of the situation happening; our orders are as followed.
Continue your mission as it was, but remember the rules. You have 15 days left."
"15 days?! That's ..." Soona became saddened; she had 15 days to complete the mission and spend time with her newly found brother.
"You should focus to the mission first, after that use whatever time you have.." He puts a hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks for telling me."
-
"Ah my mouth is burning." Beomgyu finished the last of his drink, but the burning remained.
"Here, you can have some of mine." Yeonjun held the drink out toward him.
He watched as Beomgyu chugged the water, some of it escaped his mouth and slipped down his chin.
"You're leaking." Yeonjun pointed to his chin which had water trickling down.
"Sorry." He went to reach to wipe it off but Yeonjun has beat him to it, He reaches his hand out and slowly wiped his thumb across his chin.
"Thank you." Beomgyu says Yeonjun was distracted as he stared at his lips.
Yeonjun got a little too caught up in the silence that he slowly began moving his face toward Beomgyu's.
Beomgyu just froze in place, he didn't know what to do or what was happening.
Yeonjun stopped for a second as he was an inch away from his face, then in an instant, he connected his lips to his.
Beomgyu was shocked at first, but after a second, he closed his eyes. His mouth became once again hot as the spices from both their mouths had not made it any better.
Yena suddenly walked inside the door but slowly walked back out one she saw. The two didn't notice she even came in.
"Oh my gosh!" She squealed, she couldn't believe her plan worked, she felt proud.
She then wondered where and what was Soona doing?
"It seems too quiet." Soona noticed and peeked her head out of her doorway.
It was hard to see in the dark but she saw the two kissing and retracted her head quickly.
"My gosh Yena was actually smart this time." She laughed to herself, she felt happy the mission was going well but she felt sadness return realizing...15 days.
Just fifteen days..
