✈︎ Chapter Four

"Did I do something?" Jaemin asked as they prepared to head out the library just as Chenle excused himself on his shift.

Jaehyun sighed, "I can't tell you if it's a bad one or not, but just prepare yourself." He advised opening the door.

The black haired gulped feeling uneasy about the information and especially early in the morning.

He flaps his wings and takes off along with the others while he could hear Renjun and Chenle arguing behind him.

"Can you not fly so close to me? Your stupid wings are annoying," the elder grumbled adjusting his halo above his head.

Chenle laughed loudly with a shriek, "we practically have the same wings, you're sort of calling your own wings stupid." He snickered.

Renjun only blows him a cloud resulting the younger to gasp and looses balance in the sky almost falling back down to the main clouds.

"Mean," Chenle muttered flapping his wings steadily to fly back up with the group while now moving ahead leaving Renjun behind.

"Brat."

"I heard that!"

Jaemin rolled his eyes at them finding it amusing, "just put him on the list the whole week," he suggested earning a glare and a smirk from different people.

Jeonghan was dragging a very calm Joshua around as he then makes a small cloud crown to place it on the younger's head.

"My boyfriend is so pretty," he giggled kissing the boy's cheek as they continued to fly.

"I'm gonna barf, shut the fuck up," Renjun groans looking away with slight disgust on his face.

Chenle snickered, "strike two!"

"Oh come on!"

All angels were in the meeting area, one of the archangels, Taeyong, gestures for everyone to quiet down as he settled on his seat.

Everyone obliged while Jaemin was playing with a cloud on his hand with Chenle snickering beside him.

Renjun switches seats with one of the angels and is now sitting across the black haired boy feeling embarrassed, "so annoying," he rolled his eyes.

"Jaemin, behave," Joshua whispered nicely towards the younger not wanting to cause any trouble than he might already be.

The said boy grunts and flicks the cloud across him hitting Renjun right in the face making Chenle laugh saying he looks like if Santa Claus and an elf had a baby.

"So I think you all are wondering why we're gathered here, especially when it's about Jaemin. Correct?" Taeyong said folding his hands together on the table.

Everyone muttered a "yes" and nodded quietly as they were wondering why there was a sudden meeting without notices beforehand.

Jaemin gulped at the mention of his name as Jaehyun gave him a look making himself to behave forcefully. He knows this is serious.

"Well, I must have to announce that Jaemin will be having a punishment after all the deeds he has done," Taeyong said with a sigh.

Everyone turned to look at the said boy who was fidgeting on his seat. He suddenly wants to make a fly for it.

"Now, don't worry it is not a brutal punishment. Think of it as– being grounded," the archangel said trying to reassure that he's not going to go through brutal punishments.

"W-what do I have to do?" Somehow, Jaemin has a bad feeling about this. But there's a tiny itty-bitty part in his guts that's telling him it may not be that bad.

"You'll be sent down back to earth." Taeyong said making everyone gasps except for the archangels who already knew the information.

"Calm down everyone, please pay attention." He said getting the angels calm down still glancing at the troubled angel.

"God said you'll be going back down to earth, no wings and no powers." He then sighed when everyone started freaking out again.

"Silence please," Jaehyun gestures trying to help earning a small thanks from the elder.

Taeyong bit his lip before continuing, "you'll be living as a human, going to a highschool to learn and do some work to earn money and survive."

Jaemin gulped, working? That's too much and it sounds boring.

"But how can I do that without powers?" He asked earning a few giggles from the other angels while Renjun face palmed.

"That's the point, you don't do it with powers. You got to do everything like humans do, by hand." Taeyong said.

Jaemin groans before the elder continued. "But here's the catch, God said you can have your powers and wings back if you do a good deed."

"Well that's easy," the black haired said feeling prideful earning an eye roll from Renjun.

"It's not as easy as it seems Jaemin-ah." Taeyong sighed, "you have to do a good deed all day everyday. Then earn a power back and a feather before you're allowed to come back here."

"But you only get a reward twice a week," Taeyong said earning a look from the troubled angel.

The black haired boy almost flicks the cloud on Chenle's palm towards Renjun who prepared himself to dodge it.

"What?! But that's– that's rigged!" He protests standing up abruptly.

"It is not rigged as it is apart of your punishment Jaemin," Jaehyun said this time to help make the boy understand.

"If you were given the chance to earn every power back in one go, it won't teach you any lessons. God is just trying to help you and your little deeds," he stated.

"But that'll take a while!" The younger complained feeling wronged.

Taeyong chewed his lip, "that's the plan Jaemin, you need to learn things and be– mature and responsible." He explains.

"But this is torture!" The boy huffs annoyed at the punishment.

"There's no other choice," another one of the archangels, Winwin, said beside Jaehyun holding a book making Jaemin go silent.

"Fine," he sighed in defeat. "When do I go down?" He asked sitting back on his seat while Joshua patted his back comfortingly.

"Tomorrow, I suggest to prepare yourself with not much privilege of everything. You'll have your own house and will be enrolled to a highschool nearby, but the other things will have to be earned." Jaehyun said.

"You need to work for it, just like every human being does to earn money." Winwin stated earning a nod from the other archangels.

"But there's another warning," Taeyong paused. "Even if you earn a power or a feather, you can still lose them if you do a wrong deed the next time. It is like a push and pull sort of thing."

Not wanting to argue anymore knowing well there's nothing to stop this at all considering God and the archangels have seemed to prepared everything. Jaemin nodded.

"We'll be watching over you just so you know," Winwin said.

"There's one more thing, this one is very important." Taeyong pursed his lips before continuing. "You're at risk Jaemin."

"What? What do you mean?" The younger asked baffled. Risk? What risk?

"What I mean is there's a chance you won't be able to come back here in heaven if you die," Taeyong shared earning panic reactions from everyone.

"It's one of the things on a punishment to earth, we've went through it before, trusts us. We almost lost our final lives if we didn't do the right thing," Jaehyun said.

"What happens if I die?" Jaemin asked earning wondering looks from the other angels as well from his question. What does happen if he dies?

"I'm not really sure on what will happen but I'm just saying there's a chance you won't be back here ever, your soul will be handed to Hades." Taeyong explained.

"So he either could be back here with no wings and just small powers or officially die with his soul sent to Hades?" Jeonghan clarified.

The archangels nodded, "so I suggest you all the good luck Jaemin. Hades isn't usually nice when it comes to giving back souls." Winwin said while the others nodded along.
