____________________

Jungkook gently holds around Taehyung's waist, as the elder male's arm is wrapped around Jungkook's shoulders. That way, he won't crash down when the pain kicks in every time he takes a step.

The pain has lessened since he woke up and they finally got the news that they will be able to speak with God now. Everyone suggested going to Taehyung's room, but the angel insisted that they went to God's place instead. He's going to meet God for pete's sake! He can't be lying in a hospital bed doing such an event.

Plus, since he's an angel, he has been able to heal rather quickly. But it's still very painful for him to walk, therefore he needs Jungkook's support.

Jimin is walking in front of them, leading the way, while the rest of the guys are behind them. Everyone are insanely quite, probably nervous about meeting God. Who wouldn't be, after all?

Jimin has assured them many times that they have nothing to fear. God isn't evil and not some power-maniac like Diabolos is. God isn't going to hurt them... most likely.

The stairs are pretty long towards the hall where they will be meeting God. But it doesn't take them too long to reach their desired destination. Jimin pushes open a set of huge doors, that leads the way into a giant ball-like hall, at least in Taehyung's eyes.

There are rows of seats along the sites, but all of them are empty. By the end, there is an alter like cirle with golden-winged angels sitting around in chairs. 

Slowly, the group of boys step inside with hesitant movements and slightly frightened eyes. Jimin walks over to one of the chairs by the alter that's empty, and sits down. He's a part of the golden-winged counsler after all.

In the middle, God is. 

"It's a woman?" Jungkook whispers, but all the boys are able to hear him, considering the deafening silence there is inside this room.

"For me, it's a man," Taehyung replies.

"I believe that's the lady across the street who sells the best mochis I have ever had," Jin then says, totally random. But it's probably such a good memory for him that his mind formed God as this nice lady.

"Is that a sprite can-"

"What the-," Yoongi hisses at Hoseok, but soon rolls his eyes, "for me, it's a woman too."

"That's so weird," Jungkook says, but it's also pretty cool. The woman he's seeing is rather tall with a gentle look on her face. Her hair is dark and long and her skin pale. Extremely beautiful, so to say. And for some reason, she reminds Jungkook a lot of someone, he just can't remember who.

For Taehyung, it's an elder looking man. He reminds Taehyung a lot of his father, which is very unsettling, but on the other hand, it doesn't seem like him at all. It looks like his father, but the smile on his face is gentle and his hair is more gray then it used to be.

It's like his worst nightmare of his father, mixed with the dream of the man turning into an actual parent. Quite scary.

"Welcome," he says and looks at Taehyung, "it's good to see that you are well, Taehyung."

"Thank you, my lord," Taehyung replies and bows slightly, but he doesn't get far due to the pain in his body. Jungkook helps him back up. 

The guys behind them hurries up and bows as well, showing their respect. 

"After what you have been through, I'm relieved to see your state is healing," God says, "you have done a great job, protecting our world."

Taehyung feels his chest tighten with a sense of pride and extreme surprise when listening to the man's words. God smiles and walks closer in order to reach his arm out and place his hand gently against the male's chest. 

Immediately, Taehyung feels as if his body got lifted from the ground and send into a world of euphoria, almost making him collaps to the ground by the pleasuring feeling. It's like all the pain disppeared with that single touch and he is now able to stand up without Jungkook's help.

"My lord..." he begins, wanting to thank God for the healing. God's healing powers is one that has been misused a lot through the times, meaning that not everyone gets to optain it. It has always been a part of the heaven's message that you have to suffer for the sins you have committed.

"You have earned it," God replies and steps back a little. He then turns to Jungkook, who shyly looks up at the beautiful woman. She smiles at him and reaches her hand out to put it against his cheek, just like Taehyung did earlier.

"You have all earned my deepest respect," she says before she looks over all of them, "I will thank you for your bravery and you will be praised by everyone."

The guys look at each other with relief, knowing that maybe it won't be too much of a punishment they will get.

"However," God says, "a lot of rules have been violated and you have put yourself in mortal danger from not speaking this over with me first. But I believe that is Jimin's mistake, if anything."

Jimin doesn't let that comment destroy his perfect pose in the chair, where he is sitting calmly and quitely to respect his God's words. His friends, however, gets scared for a second that Jimin might get punished in their stead.

Jimin was sent to Jungkook and the others in order to get information and help them as much as possible. But literally making them enter hell was never God's words, Jimin acted that way himself... So it makes sense if he would get punished for that.

Luckily, God's next words drags them away from that theory, "that being said, it saved the world and it saved heaven as well. As much as it was reckless, I can not punish any of you fully for saving the union that I'm supposed to protect, therefore you will all be rewarded instead. Taehyung, if you will."

God steps back and points towards the empty space between them, making the confused angel follow his lead. Taehyung has no idea what is going to happen, but he trusts his God with all of his heart and mindlessly stands still before them. 

Everyone looks up as God lifts their arms into the air and light starts growing around them. It seems a lot like the light that appeared when they opened the portal. So sharp it's impossible to keep your eyes open.

Everyone squeezes his eyes together and Taehyung has to hold an arm in front of him in order to not lose his sight. Wind appeared out of nowhere, so strong that some of them are close to loosing their foothold. 

What could have happened?

It takes a few minutes before all of them are able to breathe out and opens their eyes back up. A weird, tingling sensation is permanent in Taehyung's heart, but that's not the thing that makes him widden his eyes in shock the most. 

It's the feeling of two heavy wings on his back. But not just any kind of wings... Taehyung looks back and feels his mouth fall open at the sight of two beautiful, golden wings. Just like the ones Jimin has.

"All of you," God begins, "have earned a place in my counsil. This means, that you will not be a guardian angels to protect a human in the future or get reborn. You will be part of the angels that protect all humans that have ever lived and ever will live. You will get to be reunited with your families too, if that's what you want."

Everyone feel shocked at that. There was notes about golden winged angels not necessarily having to die, meaning Jungkook would be able to be one as well.

"But before that, I would like you to meet someone," God continues.

They can't get to answer that, before one of the angels gets up from on of the chairs and stands by God's side. What shocks all of them the most is that it's not an unfamiliar face, not for Taehyung and Jungkook at least.

Minseok stands before them, a.k.a Jungkook's idiot bully from back in school. Taehyung's eyes widen and Jungkook immediately gets a sour expression on his face. 

"What are you doing here?" the brunette asks, trying not to have too much spite in his voice, considering God is literally right next to him. Minseok smiles gently and bows a little.

"I'm sorry Jungkook, for all the things I did to you back then," he says, "I hope you can forgive me."

Jungkook crosses his arms and looks up and down the angel for a while. That doesn't seem very convincing, asking for forgivness just like that.

"I thought you died when Diabolos took over your body?" he asks sceptically, almost as if it was Diabolos they had standing right here before them. Minseok nods and understands why Jungkook would think that.

"Actually, he send me away. To another dimension, so to say," Minseok explains.

Taehyung and Jungkook look at each other, slightly confused. How the fuck could he have been send to another dimension? How does that even work?

"Which also mean," God speaks up, "that I was able to locate him. Time isn't exactly a concept here in heaven, I can bend it however I like. Which also means that Minseok became a great help. Since I can't move myself in time around the real world, I had to find someone else..."

God starts explaining that when Diabolos took over Minseok's body, Minseok got trapped in time between the day he died in his own life and the time Diabolos took over him. In that time span, Jungkook, Hoseok and Jin were born... that means, that through Minseok, God was able to change the events along the timeline of the humans lifetime just a little.

"But... what did you do then?" Taehyung asks, equally as confused.

"When Diabolos and I's souls got shifted, I was able to see all the intentions he had with the world, and hell as well. I knew I had to do something. I wasn't able to show myself or change any of your destined fates, but I was able to mess with any mortal whenever they were asleep, since the concept of time is different when sleeping in the dimension I got sent to," Minseok explains.

Yoongi walks a little closer, "so... that's why Hoseok can't remember anything aside from those dreams?"

Oh, so that's what it was. It has been quite a mystery all this time why exactly Hoseok had all of these visions and why he forgot everything so quickly, but this explains it all.

"Exactly, I was able to mess a little with Hoseok's dreams, but the side effect was that his memory got damaged," Minseok says, "luckily, it still helped out in the end."

"That's crazy," Hoseok says with a hand over his mouth. The perseption of time is weird and what's even weirder is that Diabolos was able to send Minseok there. It's beyond anything remotely logical the humans have ever learned through their lives... what a mess.

Hoseok can't even wrap his head around the fact that someone was in his mind, messing with his thoughts all along. Now that he thinks about it, his memory has returned almost normal after they got here.

"Minseok's quick thinking made him worthy of a spot in my counsil, but he did suffer from the sins he put you through, Jungkook," God says, "so I believe it's right for you to forgive him."

Jungkook looks at God and then at Minseok. At first, it doesn't seem like a good idea to forgive that asshole for anything, considering what he put Jungkook through back then. But on the other hand, Minseok's work did help them out a lot and he probably put himself at risk a lot of times in order to mess with Hoseok's mind.

The younger male sighs and looks at Taehyung, who nods slightly.

"I guess I'll forgive you," Jungkook says, an angry pout on his lips.

Minseok smiles and bows again, before stepping back so God can once again be in focus. He isn't quite done yet.

"I see you have a strong heart Jungkook," God says, "all of you do. So you too, shall be rewarded."

Before anyone can speak, the light appears again and almost blows them from their stands. 

Jungkook catches his balance and is surprised by the sudden weight he has gained on his shoulder. He's confused at first, but soon looks back and sees that he too, now has huge, golden wings. It's almost unrealistic to feel them there. It's like an extra leg... he knows how to control it, but it feels wrong and out of place.

He's shocked to his core, so much he's almost about to scream. But he holds it back and just stares at the wings before he slowly moves them back and forth a little. So beautiful and strong, he can already tell. 

He smiles and feels a whole new type of pride and happiness he didn't know he could feel.

Jin and Hoseok have fallen on their asses due to the weight of their wings and Namjoon and Yoongi are just staring at each other, probably still in denial that they are now golden-winged angels. It seems very unrealistic.

Jungkook looks up at Taehyung, who's looking right back at him.

"Does that mean..." Jungkook begins, "that we can stay here... forever?"

"Unless you wish it differently, it's your choice," God replies, "Taehyung, Yoongi and Namjoon can always chose to disappear and they will most likely get reborn, but as someone else - which will give you peace when the time comes. The rest of you can always chose to become a guardian angel if that's what you wish for and follow the same fate as your angels were originally meant to do. And Jungkook, I'm not certain what your immortally is actually capable of, be we will look into that. But if all of you stay here, it can be for enternity."

It's like those words mean more to the friendgroup than anything that has ever been spoken in their entire life time. 

Eternity?

Infinity?

Forever?

All of them are silent for a moment, probably not knowing what to do. Their fate has just been decided for them and honestly, it's better than anything they had ever imagined.

Jin is the first to jump on Namjoon and Yoongi, but Hoseok, Taehyung and Jungkook soon joins in a collision that can barely be described as a hug. Still, it's warmer than any embrace they have ever felt before and not a single one lets their tears stay back.

A lot of crying happened that day, escpecially when all of them got up and jumped on Jimin, who definitely wasn't ready for it and got tackled to the ground in a hug as well.

But that's okay.

Everything is okay, now that they are together. Now, they have a bright future in front of them. A future that will last forever if that's what they wish. Now, it's their job to teach everyone about why they ended up where they did, and guide people along the right path. 

It's what they were meant to do all along.

After standing up, Jungkook wraps his arms around Taehyung neck and looks into his purple eyes. They are just as beautiful and intriguing as they have always been, but now... they are filled with nothing but love and happiness.

"Forever?" Jungkook mumbles, asking the one million dollar question. Now he's the one who has to keep onto the other, since Taehyung's the one who would be able to leave.

Taehyung smiles and gently touches some of Jungkook's hair and pushes it behind his ear, staring at him with so much love and care.

"Forever."
