jeongguk sat on the counter in a hurry. he was excited to finally fly. all his life, he wanted to fly but people kept calling him stupid for thinking that. although he can't prove them wrong now, in his heart, he finally accomplished something that was impossible for humans.

the man was done and jeongguk ran out the door as well. namjoon absorbed his laughter as he left because he didn't know if it was going to be the last.

hoseok was third. "you look different," the man said.

hoseok let out a sigh, "yeah, i think i can see that."

"hey, don't be sad. i like unique souls. well...that's not what i meant. at least you didn't die a common way," the man's eyes formed crescents. that didn't make hoseok any happier.

once hoseok was done, he slowly left for the exit. he waved the rest goodbye and left with a sad smile. before the man could say anything else, yoongi said, "step aside. it's my turn."

"make it quick!" yoongi said while quickly sitting on the counter before the male could completely clean the area, taking the man by surprise. it only took about four minutes for the creation to finish and yoongi quickly ran behind hoseok.

taehyung was next. by the time namjoon could process what was happening, jimin was hugging him and then leaving with his wings on his back. namjoon looked around the room to see if there was anyone there. the only person left was the man waiting by the counter with his arms folded, he was waiting for joon.

namjoon sighed and made his way toward the worker. namjoon sat on the counter and just let the man work his magic. his attitude changed after the others left without him. he couldn't believe that his only friends would abandon him in such a foreign place.

"don't worry about them," the man started. "i can't really believe that they left you all alone. it's not possible."

"how do you know?"

"i just got the feeling of brothers in the air. and i know that you guys only met for an hour or so but i can sense the future," the man continued, "i shouldn't be telling you this but when i first came here, the group that i was paired with left me out. they seemed like a really good group to hang out with but they just didn't like me. they suddenly didn't want me around and i had to figure out how to become worthwhile by myself."

namjoon listened deeply, "i can tell if something is real just by feeling the air-" the man was interrupted.

"-can i ask a question?" namjoon asked. the man slowly nodded in confusion. "why can't i see your wings? are you hiding it very good? cause' your back looks too slim to have them under your shirt."

there was silence for a long time. "you know it's wrong to cry here because it's supposed to be a good place but sometimes it's hard."

"what do you mean?"

"life is hard whether you're here or not. sometimes heaven isn't cut out for everyone. this might sound depressing but i really feel like something got mixed up with the files. i just don't feel like i belong here, much less giving something to people that gives them such happiness. like your friend with the cat, i don't deserve it. it doesn't feel right," the man was almost done with the wings. his hands worked really hard to give namjoon the very best. even though it burned his hands.

"they're broken."

"huh?"

"my wings. they're broken."

"oh, i'm sorry. i-i didn't mean to make you say something so personal," now namjoon felt guilty.

"it's okay. i did it myself. they were white to begin with but i cut them off myself and it just turned black on the roots. i can hide them easily now," the man smiled sadly.

"alright i'm finished," the man stopped his hand motions. "what's your name?"

"namjoon."

"namjoon, this place might seem hard to deal with especially with your new wings but i just want you to know that it will all pay off at the end of the day. if you want more information about the place you and your friends are going to stay then just go next door to chaeyoung. tell her i sent you, okay?" the man once again showed his sweet smile.

"can i know your name?" namjoon asked.

"that won't matter anymore. just go to your friends, they're waiting for you," the man waved goodbye. namjoon waved back and walked out of the door. namjoon didn't feel any better about the situation. he kept walking until he saw the same gate a while back with six souls waiting for something. namjoon's eyes lit up with hope and he ran toward the shadows.

"what took you so long?!" seokjin yelled with an annoyed tone in his voice. namjoon smiled and laughed as he opened the gate and all together did a group hug. they all laughed together.

"jin told me to wait for you before we could fly so we waited but you took forever!" jeongguk over exaggerated his facial expression.

"well what are we waiting for?" namjoon said while he lifted his arms in the air, ready to just off the cliff. they were all so scared. they were scared that they'll fall and not fly but with namjoon...

anything was possible.
