renjun and jaemin parted when they were out of oxygen, never breaking the eye contact.

the kiss they had just shared had been magical. both boys had their hearts beating faster than ever, and they just felt the need to collide their lips again.

however, something prevented them to do so.

jaemin's beautiful white wings had deployed, behind the angel's back, allowing renjun to catch a glimpse of them when he was still looking intensely at jaemin's eyes. and so, the human broke the eye contact to look at the two huge wings with confusion.

"j-jaemin?"

it's only then that jaemin realised what was happening.

he hadn't been able to contain his emotions during the kiss. his wings had appeared again. and now, renjun had seen them.

"n-n-no." he let out quickly, raising to his feet.

"what are those?" renjun furrowed his brows.

"it's n-nothing. forget me renjun." jaemin said, wiping a tear that had left his eye.

"wha- "

and before he could finish his sentence, he was glued to the sofa by a powerful wind that made things fly around the room, and jaemin ran out of his house.

"wait! jaemin!" renjun yelled, stinging up and going to the door.

however, when he opened it, there was no sight of jaemin...

☁

jaemin ran to a hidden place, crying his eyes out.

why had he been so careless? so stupid?

renjun knew what he was. he had failed his mission.

the angel was completely heartbroken. first, he could say 'goodbye' to his wings, because the head would kill him if he knew what had happened, and then, he would never be able to be with renjun and jeno. the chinese may already hate him...

after a few minutes of crying intensely, he came to the conclusion that there was one solution only. he had to leave earth, go back above the clouds and face his punishment. that was his only option. hopefully, the head would be able to rearrange things and erase renjun's memory...

but if he was going to leave, there was one last thing he needed to do. and that is going to see jeno.

and that's what he did.

the angel made his wings disappear again and ran to jeno's house.

the streets were already dark, but he didn't care anymore. he needed to bid his last goodbye before leaving for ever.

jaemin entered jeno's garden and walked straight to the window of his room.

there, he saw the boy lying on his bed, staring at his phone while caressing nal who was cuddled to his side.

jaemin knocked on the window, startling jeno and making nal leave the room.

jeno rose to his feet with brows furrowed and walked to the window, opening it confusion visible on his handsome features.

"jaemin? what are you doing here? weren't you supposed to be with renjun?" he asked very quickly.

"i already spent the afternoon with him. but i wanted to see you a bit. we never know what can happen..." jaemin whispered the last part.

jeno nodded before inviting jaemin in. the angel climbed on the window and entered in the bedroom.

"do you want to have dinner here? my mom wouldn't mind." jeno offered.

"no, thank you. i need to go soon..." jaemin declined politely.

"i could invite renjun if you don't want him to be left out." the human added, against his will.

"he told me you weren't on the best terms."

jeno widened his eyes. "oh, huh... yeah..."

"why are you fighting?" jaemin asked with a pout.

"we're not really fighting... it's just that we have the same interest in some things and... yeah, it creates rivalry."

"b-but why?" jaemin sniffed. "you look cute together. i was so happy to see you two being affectionate towards each other..."

"some people are not meant to be..."

"but that's not your case!" jaemin exclaimed.

"we promised ourselves it wouldn't affect you, jaemin. we'll act normal with you."

"but... that's not you... i want you to be yourselves..."

jeno sighed, cupping jaemin's jaw and caressing his soft skin.

"we'll end our argument the fastest possible. i promise, angel."

jaemin nodded, sniffing again and wiping a few stray tears.

"wait." he widened his eyes in realisation. "what did you just call me?"

"angel." jeno said with the sincerest smile ever. "don't you like it?"

"y-yes, yes, i do. but... why though?"

jeno chuckled, his eyes forming two cute crescents. "because you look ethereal, just like an angel would."

jaemin's heart started to do summersaults in his chest, making it harder for him to control his emotions. he had to act not to regret anything. it was now or never.

and so, jaemin leaned in, placing his lips against jeno's plump ones.

despite the surprise, jeno responded to the kiss immediately, gluing jaemin's body to his by placing his hands on the angel's hips.

kissing jeno was as wonderful as kissing renjun, but jeno was much more aggressive, biting lips and fighting for dominance with his tongue. anyway, this feeling was amazing.

jaemin didn't even fight against his emotions. he let his wings spring out without reacting, because he wanted to enjoy the moment fully. the head will repair everything later on...

they parted after a while, keeping their bodies close to each other.

"i'm sorry jeno." jaemin whispered, against the humans' lips.

"what are you sorry for?" jeno asked.

"for leaving you and renjun..." jaemin finished, detaching from jeno's body.

that's when jeno noticed jaemin's wings.

he stared at them intensely, trying to reach for them.

"a-are those wings?" jeno asked dumbfounded.

jaemin didn't reply, he just walked to the window, mumbling a last 'goodbye' before flying out, tears straining his beautiful face.

jeno bent to take a fluffy white feather that had fallen on the floor when jaemin had flown away. and that's when it hit him. these were the same feathers as the ones renjun had seen in his room when they had slept over; the same as the ones inside renjun's bathroom. it was jaemin all along.

but what was he...?

☁

jaemin flew back to his house, crying harder than he ever had.

he had to leave.

jeno and renjun knew about his secret.

jeno and renjun were fighting again.

jeno and renjun would never end up together.

jaemin had failed the mission. just like the other four angels...

he would lose his wings, sure... but he had already broken his heart, so what could be worst?

jaemin slammed his hand over the red button, waiting for a few seconds for an angel to come to him.

the head entered the room in less than a minute. "what is the problem, jaemin?" he asked.

"i failed." jaemin said, sobbing.
