30
Seonghwa knew that he couldn't avoid being pressured to be let out once in a while. Hongjoong has been begging him to at least get a breath of fresh air in the park or have a nice walk around the neighborhood.
"Okay, you're really not going out?" Hongjoong asked upon opening the door to the room, his hand still holding the doorknob tightly. "Park Seonghwa, you better get up or I'll forcefully lock you out of this house." Seonghwa groaned, rolling his eyes at—what he thought—the empty threats. That is until Hongjoong grabbed Seonghwa with his lightning speed that Seonghwa couldn't even stop himself from being thrown out of the house (literally).
"Hongjoong! For goodness sake!" Seonghwa glared up to Hongjoong, standing up from the dirty ground of the sidewalk. "I don't want to-" He couldn't even finish the sentence due to Hongjoong slamming the door on his face.
"You won't get in here unless you are sure that you have eaten, took a walk, relax and calm down. I can tell if you have done these things."
"Oh, you got to be fucking kidding me!" He flinched at the use of curse words coming out of his mouth but he couldn't care less as he turns around and take a walk. Knowing Hongjoong, he knew that his mate will take his words very seriously.
Hours passed, and Seonghwa found himself mingling around the library. He ran his fingertips at the covers of the books on the shelf as he tries to find something that will entertain him and take his mind off of things. He picked a few books earlier but is deemed to be unentertaining and he couldn't focus at all no matter how hard he tries.
He did this for a while, picking up books and returning them to their place, walking around then repeating the same process. He slowly got bored at the cycle, he is about to give up and go back to the house—presumably trying to convince Hongjoong that he is not moping around anymore—however, a certain book caught his attention whilst he was on his way out of the library.
He slowly walked over to the book, it looks like any other normal books and it didn't seem out of place but the aura that it gives off seems to catch his eyes when he laid upon it. There was something about it that he couldn't explain as if it is indeed trying to tell something.
He picked up the book, reading the title on the hardbound cover of the book. His lit up in curiousness and excitement when he sees the title. Guardian Angels Guide Book. He thought for a few seconds that it might just be a scam, and would most likely be full of imaginations of a human but he was proved wrong upon opening the book and flipping through the first few pages.
He could not believe that he has found something that faces facts regarding guardian angels, it was like the universe is telling him to go and get Yeosang back. He took the book, hugging it to his chest as he crosses the library to sit at the far end table of the room.
His eyes lingered at every page, awed at all the information that is written in cursive letters. He stopped at a certain part of the book, his fingers grazing the ink of the written words.
'There is one occasion in which a guardian angel vanishes due to overusing its powers. Others have said that once you vanish, they can no longer return to Earth. However, there may be a solution to such predicaments.'
Seonghwa hurriedly flipped over to another page of the book to continue, but he froze upon seeing the blank page of the book. "What? No." He flipped over the remaining pages of the book, there is no continuation of the topic and he was left hopeless at what he had gathered. He thought that he would be getting somewhere, only to end up in a dead-end.
He closed the book with a sigh, eyes lingering at the hardbound cover of the book until it landed on a specific written text that displayed the lower are of the cover. Written by Na Jaemin and Lee Jeno.
He has heard of the both of them before, as far as he remembers, they are the few higher ranking angels in Heaven. Oftentimes, they are summoned to look over a human and they handle most of the difficult tasks.
Seonghwa grinned, forming an idea on his head to tell Yunho. He stood up and returned the book to its places, knowing that it's in a safe place and could only be seen by those that have good intentions based on the aura that it is emitting.
'Yunho!' He called out through their Angel link, receiving no reply from the other which made him slightly worried. That's why he thought of visiting Yunho from his home so that they could talk for a while and maybe check on Mingi and Jongho.
He looked around the area, turning himself invisible before flying off towards Yunho's home which didn't take a very long time to travel to. He came barreling inside of the house, knowing that Yunho must have felt him pass by the barrier around the house.
However, when he entered the living room, he is faced with a scene that is far from what he has expected. He eyed the summoning circle sitting in the middle of the living room, flickering his gaze towards the moved couches settled on the sidelines where Mingi and Jongho are calmly sitting as if seeing this is a normal thing for them.
"-vanished. I want to thank you for helping us." Yunho entered the living room, unaware of Seonghwa standing by the arched frame of the living room. He immediately recognized who Yunho is talking to, Kim Inseong, a substitute guardian angel that he has met plenty of times due to Yeosang always ditching his job.
Mingi is the first person that noticed his presence, freezing on whatever he is doing (He was playing with Jongho's fingers silently while Jongho is scrolling on his phone).
"Uh... Yunho, love?" Mingi tried to catch Yunho's attention, only to be shushed by the other. Yunho made hand gestures as he continues to talk to Inseong, his gaze looking over to Seonghwa then back at Inseong. That is when the realization hits him, he slowly turned his head to make eye-contact with a glaring Seonghwa.
"Hyung!" Yunho shrieked, pulling Inseong behind him as if he could hide the tall man. "What are you doing here?" He nervously laughed. Seonghwa raised an eyebrow, putting both of his hands on his waist and glancing at the summoning circle then back at Yunho.
"I should be the one asking you that, what are you doing?" Yunho gulped, taking a deep breath to calm the nervous beat of his heart. He turned slightly to whisper something to Inseong.
"Very well. I shall say my farewells." Inseong bowed at the both of them, then at Mingi and Jongho. "Good luck." He smiled at Yunho before disappearing with a white flash of light.
"So, mind telling me what is all this?" He gestured around the setup, confused, betrayed, and intrigued at what he is seeing.
"I-" Seonghwa readied himself on the news that Yunho is going to drop. |I might have found a way to bring Yeosang back." That made Seonghwa forget anything else and instead focused on the topic. Yunho held out a book towards Seonghwa, which he gladly accepted and examined the cover of the book. He could feel the same aura as the one he had held before, and he saw the same two authors on the cover.
"You weren't planning to tell me soon?!" Seonghwa narrowed his eyes, "I will gladly help and I won't even be angry. What's the point of hiding it?"
"Well... You see..."
"There will be consequences." Jongho finally spoke up after a minute of silence. "He might not remember anything." Seonghwa frowned at that, clenching the book tightly in his hand.
"But!" Yunho quickly butted in before he could throw the book preferably at Yunho, "It's a temporary memory loss, it can be revived." He nodded, still a little bit suspicious since there is something on Yunho's tone that he could not tell what.
"There is more to it, right?" The hesitation that flashed in Yunho's eyes is enough evidence that there is more to it than what he has heard.
"Yes..." Yunho looked down on the floor, "You know... You know the soulmate connection, right?" Seonghwa's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion, not knowing where this is going as he gestured Yunho to continue.
"Well... Um... He would not have it anymore."
"What?" He is in shock at what he just learned, "What do you mean? Why?"
"He- He might have removed it back before... before..."
"Before he vanished." Jongho continued, staring ahead blankly. His eyes are slightly teary at the remembrance of seeing Yeosang disappear right in front of his eyes. "I heard him mutter about losing contact with his other half and something along those lines," Seonghwa remembered the numbing feeling that he felt when Yeosang had done something wrong, he knew that Yeosang lost the bond with his soulmates however, he didn't know that he removed it purposely.
"Yet, you're still going to bring him back. What if Wooyoung and San find out?"
"We thought of this stupid idea." He turned to look at Mingi, "We will bring Yeosang back, hide him from Wooyoung and San and wait until the memories get back at him." Seonghwa was about to retort on how stupid the idea is but he got cut off by Yunho.
"Because! Even without the connection, if they truly love each other then that means that the memories will be enough proof that says that they do love each other." Seonghwa blinked, taking a deep breath and forcing a smile on his face.
"Yunho, Mingi can I have a word with the both of you in the kitchen. Jongho, wait here, darling." He sweetly flashed Jongho an innocent smile before they strutted off towards the kitchen. The next thing Jongho heard is Yunho and Mingi screaming for Seonghwa to stop hitting them with his wings and apologizing repeatedly. He could even hear Seonghwa scolding them at how dumb the idea is.
After a few minutes of silence, they came back. Seonghwa is smiling widely and asking how they will go on to the summoning of Yeosang. Whilst, Yunho and Mingi have messy hairs and scattered feathers all over their clothes.
"This is stupid. It's so not going to work." Seonghwa mumbled under his breath, looking over at the summoning circle with lit candles around it. "Hongjoong, why did I agree to this again?"
"Because you miss Yeosang?" Hongjoong shrugged, he had been informed of what's happening at Yunho's home after Seonghwa rushed home and excitedly told Hongjoong how they are going to summon Yeosang. Seonghwa slightly hesitated but with much persuasion from Hongjoong and Jongho, he finally took part in the plan. Hongjoong even thinks that it's the best idea since they'll get to see Yeosang and the memories might come back to him as quickly as possible.
"Okay, we got everything that is written in the book." Yunho glazed over the words once again to make sure that he didn't miss anything. "I'm going to have to disable the shield as apparently, we cannot summon something inside a force...? So maybe it's talking about the barrier shield or something." They nodded, listening intently to Yunho.
"I'm nervous." Seonghwa voiced out, "Let's do it."
They settled down around the circle, Jongho helped Mingi settle down outside the summoning circle, making sure that he doesn't injure himself any further. They all clasps their hands together, closing their eyes as the procedure reads out from the book that Yunho memorized beforehand.
"Don't open your eyes, whatever you might feel." They heard Yunho said then started mumbling a foreign language that neither Jongho, Mingi nor Hongjoong could understand. However, Seonghwa immediately recognized the language, thinking back to when he last had heard it. It was a language that guardian angels use back in the past, it is not used as much in this modern days.
Seonghwa shivered when he felt a sudden cold air filling in the room, he could hear a crackling sound similar to fire flickering in front of him and most likely inside of the summoning circle. Is it working? Seonghwa hopes that they could do this for the first time.
"What are you guys doing?" They all halted and everything went silent. They all opened their eyes and looked over to see a slightly familiar higher-rank angel standing in the doorway. "An immense power filled the whole town and I cannot help myself but be curious where this is all coming from."
"Oh... Uh..." Yunho looked over at Seonghwa to ask for help, "We were..."
"You are trying to summon a guardian angel back?" He mused, "It's not going to work." He walked over at the sight of the book and that is when Seonghwa pieced it all together.
"What do you mean?"
"I contributed in writing this book." He held up the book that Yunho had previously been reading from and where they found how to make a guardian angel come back. "I'm Na Jaemin. It's pleasant to meet all of you." He bowed, tucking in the small golden angel wings on his back to hide it from them.
"It's not going to work?" Mingi asked, ignoring the fact that a higher rank is standing before them, and also the author of the book. "Why do you even wrote it if it's not going to work?"
"Mingi." Yunho silently gave Mingi a panicked look, shaking his head when Mingi looked over. However, Jaemin didn't give attention to it and laughed instead.
"It was a failure." Jaemin flipped over the pages, placing it in front of them as they shuffled closer to look at the book.
'The flickering sound of fire, it grew closer. It is a failure. Nothing appeared out of the summoning circle, and it only caused an explosion.'
"Maybe you did something wrong." Jongho theorized, "I heard from stories that there is a possibility and we just have to keep experimenting on it."
"Why do you believe so, human?"
"Because I just believe that there must be something. If he could vanish, why couldn't he appear again?" Jaemin smiled, leaning forward until he is face-to-face with Jongho.
"You are a brave soul." He leaned back, "Well then, I believe all of you have good intentions. I did not write the true procedure on the book, it is dangerous but if you believe in Yeosang and trust that you'll see him again, then I shall share it with you."
With the correct procedures and as Jaemin guided them through. They successfully did it.
