Silent and awkwardness was the new norm between the silver and raven head. They walked side by side just like any normal University human students would do, on their way to meet their professor. From afar, it looked like nothing was visibly wrong or it did not seem like they are in a battle between the realms.

.

"Sir? Can I come in?"

Taehyung is so used to the cabin he knocked on, familiar with space as he visited the professor enough times already.

"Yes please, come in."

Jungkook was standing closely behind the silver head, not enjoying the task he had to do, pretending to settle an assignment when he is the fcking king of the dark realm, he does not need all these bullshit. But, if Taehyung is diligently fulfilling his student task, then it must mean something and Jungkook is not going to sit out.

"Hi, Tae! and, you must be Jungkook?" Namjoon greeted the pair in his usual seat, beaming from ear to ear.

"Yes, this is Jungkook. We are partners for the recital under your supervision." Taehyung answered.

"Shut up, I can answer for myself." Jungkook was irritated so he mumbled very lowly, only enough for the angel's ear to listen.

"Um, so? Wanna have a seat?" Namjoon offered when he saw the two were settling into a staring game, unknowingly.

"Sure." Jungkook put on his fake enthusiasm.

After a good one hour of discussion and more reasoning behind the involvement of the different academic team in this year's charity recital, both the demon and angel excused themselves to leave the office.

"Um, so tomorrow is a Saturday, perhaps we can meet outside in a cafe to discuss the idea?" Namjoon proposed.

"What? Aren't you like some professor or stuff? Is it even advisable to ask your students out?" The raven head raised his brows.

"Well Jungkook, it's a casual thing and you make me sound so old and traditional-minded. I am not much older than you guys though, just take it as a happy assignment and have fun doing it alright?" Namjoon chuckled, he was humoured by the way Jungkook freaked out meeting his supposed lecturer outside of the campus.

"Yea, Namjoon sir is pretty cool, he is very fun to work with." Taehyung added onto the purple hair lecturer's comment.

"I did not ask you for suggestions. Thanks." The demon kind snorted towards the silver head.

"Okay...so tomorrow noon then?"

Both Tae and Jungkook nodded at the purple head and left the cabin before either of them erupt into a mess, trying to charge against each other.

Once the two boys have left his cabin, Namjoon turned into a serious mood and covered half of his face with the palm of his hands.

"How on earth are these two gonna fight against each other? Jungkook has no chance of winning if he allows Taehyung to do as he please. And that Archangel of Light...definitely turned out to be something I did not expect. This will be fun."

Namjoon snickered, ready to see the drama unfold as he took a rest, enjoying his hidden identity under the noses of all these angels and demons.

Only time will tell who he is really and let us wait for it.

Taehyung did not wait for Jimin as he was ready to head back home, he needed to communicate with Archangel Jin and he has to be in his own space. After sending a quick message to Angel Hope, the silver head drove himself back home.

He quickly reached the space in his room and kneeled down on his bed, eyes closed, sending a prayer of summoning to speak with his Highest Archangel of Heaven.

Seconds later,

"By the Divine, peace be with you and open your eyes dear one."

The soothing voice was resonating in the air, and Taehyung smiled as he picked up the calming scent, too familiar to his liking.

"Archangel Jin."

Taehyung leapt forward for a bone-crushing hug as he felt the pair of wings struggling under his grip, while Archangel Jin started to laugh abruptly, feeling his own wings tickling the side of his body.

"Oh Divine, stop it little one, you're making me tickle myself with my wings." Archangel Jin's laugh broke in between his plead as Taehyung finally released the elder angel from his arms.

"Did anyone told you before that your laugh is kind of funny and very windshield like?" Taehyung covered his mouth with a fit of laughter.

"What you mean you, little angel? I often receive compliments that it sounds nothing but like a melodious choir in heaven." Archangel Jin raised his chin in the air and soon giggled as he saw how adorable Taehyung looked laughing so freely.

"You're so adorable Taehyungie, so tell me how it has been going."

"Archangel Jin, you do witness all the happenings on earth, right? It's not that I need to tell you the scenes over and over again." Taehyung settled down as he sat more comfortably.

Archangel Jin nodded. It is true that the highest archangel of heaven knows the happenings on earth inside out, there is no need for Taehyung to reenact the stories.

"But, I want to know how you are feeling Taehyung."

"Me?" Taehyung pointed himself.

"Yes, you." Archangel Jin bopped the cute button nose and folded his wings in, getting more comfortable in his seat on the human bed he grown to like.

"Hmm, I don't know. I think...I still love him? I don't think so I will be able to do what you told me to do Archangel Jin. I-I am afraid I can't."

Taehyung's spirit dimmed, his energy drained as he thinks about what he has to do, what lies on his shoulders now.

Archangel Jin allowed a minute or two to pass by, letting the Angel of Light in front of him to settle better with his doubts and worries.

"Peace be with you Angel of Light." Archangel Jin placed his hand on top of the silver head, visibly saw as his energy passed down to the silver head's body, relaxing his worries.

"You are strong and powerful Taehyung. You are kind and loving, you have been born to this realm, shielded and groomed for the sole purpose of bringing light to the darkness we are facing. Love is a tricky emotion, an emotion in which everyone is a slave."

Taehyung raised his eyes, to meet the Archangel in front of him. "Slave to love?"

Archangel Jin's vibrant smile dropped to a gentle sulk, he nodded, assuring the silver head that he heard it right.

"Have you-...have you ever experience love Archangel Jin?"

The Highest Archangel of Heaven expected this, he expected the question from the brilliant Archangel of Light so he came prepared.

"Yes. Love is not something strange to human, and it certainly is not something strange to heavenly beings as well. What meant to be celebrated as a gift of our existent, came in as the reason for some of our own downfalls."

The highest archangel of heaven's eyes was lost in a distance as if he was recalling some unpleasant memories from the years of his existence. Taehyung felt the void for a brief second in his longing eyes before it turned back to the usual shine.

"But! You, my dear one, is here to change the course of the mistakes, rewrite the downfalls to victory. It may or may not involve being in love and winning in love."

Taehyung titled his head to the side, pouting in confusion.

"Let's just say that trust in yourself, trust in the Divine and do what you have to do Taehyungie."

The silver head nodded, he knew part of his hesitation is just a drawback and symptoms from his human instincts which is making him worried.

"I will do my best."

"There you go. I know you really love the demon king, don't you?" Archangel Jin gently pinched Tae's soft cheeks, seeing it turn a dusty pink as the silver head grew shy.

The Angel of Light nodded meekly, feeling the funny feeling on his tummy with thousands of butterflies making him flustered with the thought of the raven head.

The elder angel chuckled as he felt the similarity of Taehyung and himself during the earlier period of time when he too got all giddy and flustered with the thought of a certain someone he loved.

"I shall take my leave now, Angel Hope and Jimin are on their way back. Do remember to keep this mission to yourself for now, alright?"

Taehyung nodded as he saw the elder angel unfurl his majestic wings, as he departed the space, leaving thousands of tiny sprinkles and scented the entire house with lavender.

"Taehyungie! Did Jinnie stopped by?" It was Jimin. He flung the bedroom door open as he joined Tae on the bed, dropping his school bag on the ground, inhaling the scent.

Taehyung nodded and dropped his body down on his mattress as Hobi joined in.

"By the Divine, Archangel Jin did make his presence known." He softly giggled as he joined the boys in the room, chatting some random stories before excusing himself to prepare them dinner.

The event of them working with their unexpected partners for the recital was left undiscussed as both Hobi and Jimin did not want to recall what happened on the campus when they met Yoongi after leaving Taehyung with Jungkook.
