I fell on my knees- the darkness making me imbalance and broke into tears. Something inside me was hurting. I felt my heart wrench but I couldn't figure out the reason.

Endless questions rushed in my mind and I clenched my heart area. The more I thought of my hyungs, the more I felt hurt. But I couldn't stop thinking about them.

{... What is wrong with me?...}

My tears kept following down my cheeks and my unorganized thoughts gave me heartaches every second until I heard a sound in the pitch dark.

It was a high shirlly voice which slowly came down to normal frequency making me curious and scared at the same time.

ME : W-who is there? (-sniffing-)

I felt its footstep getting closer to me. Wiping my tears, I managed to stand up again while backing my steps away from it.

ME : Am I kidnapped?? Don't get closer to me!

It really did stop coming any further near me.

ME : Why are you hiding in the dark?! Show yourself.

I uttered boldly.

??? : Kid. It's dark because of you.

ME : What do you mean?

??? : Darkness represents your fear. It will get brighter once you even down your throbbing heartbeat.

I lightly panted and realized it after he pointed out about my heartbeat which was indeed really fast.

??? : Don't be scared. I won't harm you. (-gentle voice-) Calm down, if you want to see me.

There was no chance I would believe in his fantasy talks. His words were just too unbelievable.

ME : That's so absurd. Who are you?

??? : Well, that will be hard for you to comprehend.

ME : Tell me so I can believe you.

Without me realizing his gentle conduct and soft voice made my heart ease a little and now I could vaguely see a figure standing a few steps away from me.

Unwillingly, I started to believe in his words he said before and tried to calm down to see if it really got clearer and brighter.

By each second that my heart came down to normal rate, his surrounding started to glow- black and golden starlight floating around him. A faint white clothe hovered over the bridge of his nose covering most of his face but his eyes, which were the only ones exposed, looked mesmerizingly beautiful.

I couldn't word his appearance for I had no words to epitome him, he was too fairytalic.
He had no particular ethnicity, he felt just like angels we read about in fairytales.

He didn't answer me and I could see his smile under his see through mask.

I asked him again but now in fascination by his visuals.

ME : Who are you?

??? : In the easiest language, I am a Fallen Angel. But, that doesn't mean I literally fell from the heavens. (-laughs at his own words-)

ME : What?!

ANGEL : (-stops laughing-) Okay, it wasn't funny. (-clearing his throat to a heavy voice-) According to human concept. Yes, I did commit some sins and was thrown out of the heaven, so I am called a Fallen angel. Let's not get into the details. Since then, I am stuck here and apparently guide the dense mortals who end up here every now and then.

ME : Where is this place?

ANGEL : It's the mid-station between Life in Earth and Life in Heaven. Generally, mortals who die as their natural deaths are planned, pass this station without a hassle. But, who commit suicide get stuck here before the final decision is made.

ME : Suicide? You mean, I-...

I had no memories of anything like that. Infact, I realized I only knew those 6 faces apart from my family but I didn't know how or who they were.

ME : But, why did I see my hyungs here? I am sure I saw them earlier though they were blurry.

ANGEL : They were blurry because they are not here yet and wouldn't be able to listen to you. So, they did not respond to you either.

The angel next, lifted his right hand a little and gracefully moved it looking at the ground as if he was clearing something out.

I curiously followed his gaze and looked down only to be in tears seeing the visage the ground showed.

I saw I was lying in some bed and two of my hyungs were seated next to me with one of them pulling the blankets up on me and the other reading a book. I couldn't recall their names.

I fell on my knees trying to reach them- my heart wrenched again painfully making my tears flow out.

ME : Hyung~ Why-?! (-looking up at the angel-) Why am I lying there? What happened to me? (-looking back down-)

Few clouds blocked my view and slowly the ground grew dark again.

ME : What was that?

ANGEL : That's you in earth. You wanted death against the fate written for you which is why you are stuck here.

ME : Why can't I remember anything?

ANGEL : In this station, all your memories from the earth are erased and you only remember your Mom and Dad and the person(s) whom you loved the most after your parents.

ME : But I don't remember who those people are whom I am calling my hyungs. How I met them, how I came to know them. Just nothing. 

ANGEL : Of course, you don't. All the memories accept the persons are earsed.
Now~

He lifted his right hand again and pointed towards his right where a countdown clock came in my view.

ANGEL : That's the time you are left with to decide where you want to go.

ME : That's only 3 minutes!

2 : 59

2 : 58

2 : 57

The time kept counting down.

ANGEL : Yes. You are given two choices now. Tell me.
Do you want to descend down to earth and continue living till your original life span?
Or
Do you want to ascend up to the He-Station?

ME : "HE-station"?

ANGEL : Where you are directed to either HEaven or HEll basing on your crimes and sins.

Nothing but the thought that I tried to kill myself was revolving around my mind.

ME : What went so wrong that I committed suicide? And how did I commit it?

ANGEL : Why don't you go down and get your answers yourself? Do you want to go back to earth?

My heart was aching bad, I missed my hyungs and I wanted to see them again.
The pain I must've gone through for such step of mine was less heavier than wanting to be around my loved ones again.

I saw the count down.

1 : 38

1 : 37

1 : 36

ME : I wanna go back to my hyungs.

ANGEL : (-smiles-) Are you sure enough, you want to live with them? If you try to take your life again, you'll never be forgiven for it.

ME : (-nodding-) I am sure.

ANGEL : Alright. Go to that bed and lay down.

He pointed to my back and I found the same bed on which I woke up earlier.

I obediently followed his instructions.

ANGEL : Now close your eyes.

I obeyed and closed my eyes.

ANGEL : You'll not remember meeting me or coming to this place ever for the rest of your life. As you descend down, your earthly memories will return with the same of here will erase.

Knowing that I won't remember him I was urged to say the following before I left.

ME : (-looking at him-) You must be lonely here, but~ Be strong and make sure to be an Angel again and not a fallen one.

He just passed on a grateful smile and for once I wished I never forgot him.

ANGEL : Close your eyes now, you don't have much time.

00 : 16

00 : 15

I nodded and closed my eyes back again.

ANGEL : You'll be in Earth when you open your eyes next. Live a good life.

As soon as I heard his last words, everything went silent around me, although I was conscious yet I couldn't open my eyes or move my body.

Few moments later, the silence slowly started to fade and I could hear and feel movements around me again.

I slowly tried to open my eyes, blinking to adjust to the light and saw RM hyung and Jin hyung looking at me with watery eyes.

JIN : (-soft voice-) Jungkook-ah~

_____________

Is Jungkook back?
Will he remember the fallen angel?

A/N : Well, ^^ I am sorry about such a weird plot line out of nowhere.. and I know it's really random but I just wanted to try bringing something a little dreamy. Sorry if it was too silly. Don't judge me I ain't gonna take this down.

Also, I promise there isn't any further mention of this fairytalic touch in the rest of the story. 😌😅
