jaemin sighed, looking at his human walking to school.

it had been a whole week since the incident, and haechan had been making sure to never cross paths with jaemin since then.

he kept looking at his surroundings like a mad man, fear growing in his chest when he met someone with blue eyes.

jaemin had been following him the whole time.

he knew that haechan was mad at him, but he was still his angel, and he couldn't leave him alone forever.

so, he just watched him from afar, making sure to help whenever he had a problem.

this was something every angel was supposed to do.

but normally, they did it with the consent of their human.

it wasn't the case for jaemin.

in fact, the angel wasn't even sure that haechan knew that he was behind all this cute and kind gestures.

he surely imagined that he was lucky.

"hello haechan!" a high-pitched voice called for jaemin's human.

jaemin looked at the owner of the voice, frowning when he saw a beautiful girl playing with a strand of her long hair.

"hello, hello." haechan replied, a smirk appearing on his face as he approached her.

"are you doing something tonight?" she asked, checking haechan out from head to toes way to obviously to jaemin's liking.

"i guess i could make some time for you if you'd like." haechan replied, wiggling his brows.

jaemin faked a gag, seeing the boy he loved shamelessly flirting with a random girl.

he hated that.

"see you at mine tonight then." the girl winked before walking away.

haechan turned around, looking at the girl as she was leaving – mostly to check her out.

jaemin rolled his eyes, snapping his fingers to make the locker's door in open in front of haechan's eyes so that he couldn't see her anymore.

the boy groaned, slamming the door shut, and by the time this was done, the girl was out of sight.

haechan decided to continue his journey towards his classroom.

he said hello to a few girls and boys around, either giving high-fives or cheek kisses – to jaemin's displeasure.

haechan finally reached his seat inside the classroom when the bell rang.

jaemin sat at the table next to him, just like he usually did, and he watched his human carefully.

the teacher had started speaking about something that seemed to bore half of the classroom, and haechan was starting to doze off.

his head was falling forwards, as if he needed to sleep.

jaemin used him magic to place one of his books up in front of haechan's face so that the teacher was oblivious of the student sleeping soundly during her lecture.

Æ

haechan checked himself in the mirror one last time before smiling in satisfaction and exiting his bedroom.

the human grabbed his phone and pocketed it before picking his keys up and leaving his house.

haechan didn't lock the door.

he never did.

although, when he came back, the door was always locked.

he surely assumed by then that the door locked herself automatically.

he wasn't aware that jaemin always made sure to lock it in order to keep his apartment safe.

but this though would never cross haechan's mind anyway.

today wasn't an exception: jaemin locked the door before following haechan into the busy streets of seoul.

the angel looked at the boy with a smile.

haechan looked absolutely ethereal in his back ripped jeans and his leather jacket.

jaemin could kill to have his boyfriend pinning him to a wall and kiss him in this outfit.

haechan stopped walking a dozen of minutes after, making jaemin freeze in his spot.

he was going to the girl's house.

and judging by haechan's flirty nature, and the girl's not so good reputation, jaemin deducted that they weren't about to play scrabble.

jaemin's heart accelerated in his chest when he saw haechan combing his hair back with his hand while looking at his reflexion on his phone.

jaemin couldn't let him go.

as haechan was about to raise his hand and knock on the door, jaemin grabbed his wrist, pulling him away from the door.

"donghyuck, don't go there!" he exclaimed worriedly.

"ahh!" haechan exclaimed in surprise.

the boy backed off a bit, still scared of the angel.

"leave me alone, monster!" he said.

"donghyuck, please, listen to me..." jaemin pleaded.

"my name is haechan." the brunette replied. "and i want you to leave me alone."

jaemin swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat.

why did he keep calling him donghyuck?

couldn't he get that donghyuck was dead?

couldn't he just move on?

couldn't he just forget about him?

well, the answer was no.

"s-sorry..." jaemin lowered his head, hiding the tears that were forming in his eyes before knocking on the door himself and vanishing into the air under haechan's confused eyes.

the door was opened by the girl a few seconds after.

she was wearing a silk robe and had her long hair untied.

"hey, haechan..." she said, a bright smile appearing on her face.

"huh..." haechan looked at her before diverting his eyes towards the spot jaemin had just disappeared.

"you're coming?" she asked.

haechan gulped, taking jaemin off his mind before nodding and following the girl inside.
