"You know what? I'm still not over on how they talk with each other." Wooyoung whined, stomping his feet like a five-year-old.

"Yeah? Remind me again how they talk to each other?" San teased, wrapping his arms around Wooyoung's waist as they both walked back to their apartment.

"Your ass does look interesting." Wooyoung mocked, "Yours is interesting too, Sangie. Or whatever the fuck that is." He scoffed just as San laughs in amusement.

"His ass does look interesting."

"That's not the point!" Wooyoung glared, crossing his arms in dismay.

"Don't worry darling." San traced his hands up under his shirt, rubbing circles on the exposed skin while leaving kisses on the side of his neck. "We'll be sure to have his eyes only trained on us." Wooyoung visibly shivered at the sudden change of tone in his voice, smirking sinfully as he leaned in to leave a peck on San's forehead just as they made their way inside their apartment.

Meanwhile, their soulmate, Yeosang is inside of his own home thinking back to the moment he had felt the prickling sensation in his skin.

"What? There is no way he's our mate. He's human!" Yeosang overheard, stealing a glance at them just as Yunho went to check up on him after the rude customer made a scene.

Yunho noticed the sudden silence that Yeosang was emitting and tapped him on the shoulder. 'Mates?' He vaguely gestured towards the two.

'They think I'm human.' Yeosang mischievously smiled at the idea. The tall angel sighed, already knowing what his friend is up to.

'Are you going to keep playing with them? What if they find out soon?' Yeosang shrugged, not even thinking of that thought. He glanced at them and made sure that he will, capture their attention at every time. 'For an angel, you're really giving the devil a run for their money.'

Yeosang let out a sigh, sitting down on the bed with the question running in his mind. "How long will it take for them to realize that I'm not a human?"

He groaned, falling back on the mattress and staring up to the wall. He stopped thinking of anything that includes his mates or it might go in much worse. Instead, he thought about his duties as guardian angel instead.

He still has yet to be assigned to a human for him to protect, however, the process of it takes too long.

'Yunho, entertain me.'

'Sorry to burst your bubble Yeo, but I don't got my joke book out.' Yunho snickered, 'Why don't you go to your soulmates instead?'

'I will not. Because, first off, they don't know what I am and they think I'm human. Second off, that's the reason. I'm human in their eyes, I can't just show up where they go!'

'Well... I got nothing.' Yeosang sighed, he'll die out of boredom soon enough. He might start dancing like a deranged person if he doesn't find anything to talk of.

'Okay, wait. I had a thought.' He slowly started, 'Now that we mention humans and all that. Do you just ever... feel as if we were humans before we were guardian angels?'

'Yeah, I thought of it. It was either a human or a golden retriever.' He blinked at the mention of a dog. 'Don't make that face. We could have been literal ants before we got squashed!'

'I mean... Anyways, yeah humans.' He changed the topic before it could get even weirder than it is. 'It's just that some places and some people feel familiar. As if I have met them before.'

'I feel like you're trying to point to a specific person but you don't want to admit it because of the link?'

'How are you so quick at knowing?' He shuffled in his bed, pulling his body up to press his back against the headboard of the bed, and stretched his legs before relaxing. 'Yeah, I feel so but they don't recognize me so I doubt it.'

'I told you, we could have been bugs and maybe cockroaches-' Yunho cackled at the disgust written in Yeosang's face. 'We can't really know. We aren't as far back as Hongjoong-hyung and Seonghwa-hyung.'

'Speaking of them, have they ever told you how they met?' Yeosang was curious in knowing what got them together, they were already a couple back when Yeosang first appeared in Heaven and they never really questioned them about it.

'Nope. Before you appeared, I tried asking them but all I received is a deep frown or a change of topic.' Yunho explained, remembering the time he asked Seonghwa. 'It's weird because Seonghwa-hyung is part of the low-class angels when he clearly does his job well.'

'All I got from Seonghwa-hyung was a teary "It was like a nightmare." then he changes the topic.'

'Do you think it has something to do with Hongjoong-hyung being a vampire? I know Heaven doesn't like the idea of a light and dark creature together and those that are in a relationship with them are dropped to a low-class immediately.'

'Isn't it like your job too?'

'Not necessarily. Middle-class angels are like a promoted guardian angel of some sort? We have the same amount of power as guardian angels which is helpful when we need to substitute or watch over guardian angels. Low-class are basically similar to humans but they have access to Heaven whenever they like. Middle-class can assign low-class angels anything, it's like... slaves.' Yeosang shuddered at the thought of it but seeing Seonghwa, it didn't scare him that much. 'I did hear from Inseong-sunbaenim that Heaven is a cruel place to be in back then. Seonghwa-hyung also seems to have some sort of grudge against Heaven.'

'What if... What if light and dark creatures being together are punishable by death?'

'That's just harsh of them to kill them because of being in a relationship...' Yunho trails off.

'That's because people back then weren't as accepting as you all are today.' Yeosang jumps in shock at the sudden intrusion of Seongfhwa's voice speaking in their head. 'I would never have thought that my kids would be talking behind my back.' He sighed dramatically, and Yeosang could already imagine him acting as if he is fainting.

'Hyung! I thought I blocked you off!'

'You think you can get rid of me that easily? Oh, naive boy, I learned a lot of things in my time.' Yunho laughed as Seonghwa continued his antics before he turned serious. 'I heard the whole conversation.'

'Hyung, we're sorr-'

'I was a human when I first met Hongjoong.' They froze, not knowing what to say. 'Technically, I was supposed to be soulmates with Hongjoong as a human and not as an angel but... but I died.'

'You...You died?!' Yunho almost shrieked, 'Doesn't that mean...'

'Our soulmate link was faintly there but it wasn't the same as when I was a human. I've been reborn as a guardian angel and that's when things took a turn when I stumbled upon him as I was in my human form.'

'Hyung...'

'The rules used to say that all dark creatures that the light creatures cross paths with, must be eliminated.' Seonghwa chuckled bitterly, 'I was lucky to have Inseong by my side despite me running away with Hongjoong.'

'You were hunted?' Yeosang asked.

'Banished and hunted by both heaven and the vampire community.' Seonghwa corrected, 'We didn't have much choice or that we'll both die. The only reason that we're both here is that we made a compromise. For me, I will basically be human. A literal one. I cannot go back to Heaven but I am still classified as an angel. For Hongjoong, he went... he gone through torture and banished in the community forever.'

Hearing the story made Yeosang tear up, the world was harsh and cruel to them. They couldn't freely love each other without being outcasted by their own people.

'We're basically in history. "A forbidden love between a vampire and an angel." and inside it tells our struggles from an outsiders' perspective.' Seonghwa sighs, 'But no one can ever tell how much love and trust we have for each other.' He smiled at the thought of their journey and the promises they had to make as he looked over Hongjoong who was currently talking to a customer.

'That's... That's wow... I never thought that...' Yeosang and Yunho are both speechless after Seonghwa's story.

'There's a lot more in the story but that's for another time. Both of you have to sleep, so chop chop!'

Seonghwa blocked both of them and Yunho proceeds with a goodnight before the link shuts off. Yeosang lies down in his bed, his head running with how his journey will go with his own soulmates.
