haechan woke up, his neck feeling sore.

his eyes fluttered open as he tried to understand where he was.

he was seated, a seatbelt fastened to hold his body in place, and he could see a natural landscape in front of his eyes.

so, he was in a car.

why would he be there?

and where was he going?

"slept well?" a voice startled haechan.

the brunette turned his head sideways, meeting eyes with na jaemin.

the angel was seated next to him, on the driver's seat, and his hands were behind his head instead of being on the wheel.

"what the hell?!" haechan exclaimed, trying to reach for the wheel – because as much as he wanted jaemin to die, he didn't want his days to end this soon.

however, when he stretched his hand out, he couldn't reach the wheel because of a rope blocking it.

jaemin chuckled at haechan's attempt.

"angels have powers, little human. and this means that i can make the car drive on its own."

haechan rolled his eyes at the angel before taking a look at his own hands.

there were ropes attaching him to the seat he was on, and after paying a bit more attention to them, he realised that his legs were attached too.

there was no way he could escape like that.

"i took a few precautions." jaemin spoke, seeing haechan staring at the ropes holding him in place.

"i can see that." the human snorted. "and could i know why?"

"because you're going to try to escape. and i can't afford that." jaemin shrugged.

"why did you even kidnap me in the first place?" haechan asked. "i was having a good time, you know?"

"do i look like i care about what you were doing?" jaemin raised a brow. "i needed you. and it wasn't a kidnapping since i asked you to come."

"but i didn't agree." haechan raised his voice a little bit.

"oh, yeah. too bad then, it's a kidnapping."

haechan rolled his eyes when he saw jaemin's fake smile.

"i could call the police." he threatened.

"with your hands tied like that? i'm not so sure about it."

"and who's car is this?" haechan asked.

"i don't know. i borrowed it." jaemin shrugged.

"which means that the police will surely come here and arrest you for stealing a car. good. then, i'll be able to tell them how you kidnapped me and mistreated me." haechan replied.

jaemin chuckled loudly, one of his hands cupping haechan's jaw and forcing him to look into his eyes.

"i'm afraid that i'm invisible to other people than you, dear." he said in a low tone, his eyes darkening considerably. "if they catch us, you'll be the one responsible for the stealing."

haechan gulped.

jaemin could really be scary at times.

how could he be an angel?

he looked like a psychopath at the moment.

"fuck you..." haechan muttered, trying to free his chin from jaemin's grip.

jaemin let him go with a chuckle.

he stared at his pouting face in silence, loving how haechan was getting through his mind that he had no power next to jaemin, and that he needed to listen to him if he wanted everything to go well.

the ride was silent for a few minutes.

jaemin was concentrated on the landscape outside as haechan had closed his eyes to let out long sighs.

he had opened his eyes a few times, looking at the beautiful view as well.

they seemed to be in the mountains.

there were no signs of civilisation around them – except the old road they were driving on.

he hadn't seen any house since he had woken up the first time, only animals occasionally.

"where are we going?" haechan asked, breaking the silence.

"why do you want to know?" jaemin asked.

"because i'm tightened to a seat inside a stranger's car driven by the powers of my angel, and i'm starting to doubt this is a good idea!" he said in one go, his voice rising slightly towards the end.

jaemin chuckled again. "trust me."

"well, here is the problem, nana. i don't trust you."

jaemin's eyes widened as he violently turned his head to look at the human sitting next to him.

"what did you call me?" he asked, his voice dropping a few octaves.

"are you deaf too, nana?"

jaemin's eyes turned red for a slight second, making haechan flinch. however, they became blue again quickly.

"donghyuck is the only one allowed to call me this way." jaemin spat, venom laced through his voice. "you're not donghyuck!"

"oh really?" haechan asked. "because i remember you calling me that quite a few times already."

the car stopped abruptly, making haechan's head hit the dashboard quite harshly despite him being tightened to the seat.

"listen, haechan..." jaemin told, approaching his face from haechan's. "you're an asshole, the worst vermin existing, and you don't deserve to live in donghyuck's body. you'll never be him, and i hate to see him every time i look at you."

haechan gulped, his body trembling in fear under the angel's eyes.

sure, they were still blue, but they held so much rage, and so much hatred.

for one of the first times, haechan was genuinely scared of his angel.

usually, it was the other way around; haechan cursing at jaemin.

but this time, the tables had turned, and the human felt completely defenceless under the stare of the angel.

"now shut your pretty mouth until we're there, okay?"
