-R A Y E O N-

"Shh... It's okay Yeon... I paid them to delete the footage of you on stage so please look at me..."Taehyun shushed and rubbed my shoulders to calm me down but I was just too embarrass to even say a single word at anyone now.

I can't even afford to push him away but I let him because he's trying his best to comfort me with Soobin. Soobin's gone now to the bakery because he said that he'll treat me breads so I would forget the incident few hours ago.

I just let my head down, still horribly traumatized on what happened to me because I just ruin my own image infront of hundreds of people but here's Taehyun still comforting me who's shivering in fear and trauma right now.

"Listen Yeon... Look at me "He said in a soft  voice as he placed a finger under my chin and lifted my chin up so I can look at him.

"You're beautiful for who you are. You're perfect to me so never deny it. If I say you're perfect and I mean it sweet heart. It's not your fault and we're trying to find the cause of the accident. So cheer up my friend and heads up princess and pick up that crown of yours" he continued and gave me a smile that shows his cute dimples when suddenly a human popped in between us and pulled us away from each other.

"Quit romancing and let's just eat "A voice said and shoved two breads into my mouth and Tae's.

I glared at the angel who I named 'Kai' as Soobin stood beside him with a transparent plastic bag full of bread.

"Eat it because Hueningie just treated all of us breads when I'm in the bakery in exchange of him rubbing my belly for 10 minutes " Soobin said innocently as Kai rubbed his stomach like its his Plushie with a big smile across his face. I stared at the angel who just developed a new personality and he gave me the look as like asking me what's wrong if I made new friends on earth? Before he averted his attention to the tall boy beside him and poked his belly.

"Aigoo, I just love human's bellies. And just call me Kai but i don't mind if you call me that name" he chuckled and finally stopped poking.

I ate the bread that was in my mouth until Beomgyu came and sat between me and Taehyun as he put both hands on my shoulders.

"Are you okay now lion? I brought you some ice cream because ice cream cheers you up when you're sad "He asked and placed a small bucket of ice cream he brought with him on my lap.

"just give it to me, I'll eat it on her behalf because she's not responding "Kai said and grabbed the ice cream bucket from me but I was fast enough to snatched it from his hand before he can run away.

"Don't. Touch. My. Precious. Baby. You. Troublesome. Angel "I glared at him and he let it go while I was tugging onto the ice cream bucket too hard causing me to stumble back a bit.

"She's fine now "He declared as Taehyun gave him a thumbs up for his brilliant idea to test me if I am now back to my senses or not.

"Do you still have the dress you wore just now Rayeon-sshi? I need to check something "Taehyun suddenly questioned as I nodded and passed him the dress that I hid beside me all along after changing few hours ago as Beomgyu threw his attention to the dress too and scooted closer to Taehyun. I took a peek at them and they are now holding the strap that snapped just now during the show.

"The strap was cut by something and that's why it fell off because it snapped "beomgyu muttered under his breath as I sighed and looked away blinking back my tears to prevent it from falling, as I held back the truth from rolling out of my tongue.

The angel looked like he was going to explode in anger because I know he saw all of it from up there but I signalled him to not tell them the person.

"someone must've cut her strap with a pair of scissors while she was waiting for her turn. Look at the shape, nothing cuts perfectly like that than scissors "He sighed, giving them a clue but decided to left the person anonymous as I thanked him silently.

"I'll go to the CCTV room, i saw a CCTV there "Beomgyu's stern voice rang in the whole room making me alarmed when he was planning to do so.

Instead of holding his hand or saying 'Hajima 'like in those dramas, I did the best thing I can and it's reminding him that the last bus to Daegu would go few minutes by now and pretty sure that made him panicked.

Not him only but all.

Including me.

Because I seriously just realized that.

And you all know what we do?

Yes, we ran outside and there goes the bus zooming past us and it's no use of wasting your voice to shout because it is already driving far away from us now.

"Great... So we're lost here at Seoul and standing outside a god damn stadium late at night with no direction or much money.  Now what? 5 people sleeping in a hotel in one shared room? "I groaned and all heads turned to me as I stared back at them asking what I said wrong.

"well that's exactly a good idea in order for us to survive in this cold night. We only have a little amount of money now and if we share... We'll get a room" the angel spoke slowly as we all stared at him now with widened eyes. I don't know if all of our minds were connected because it seems like we all are thinking about the same thing.

"I-it's not what you're thinking! What I meant about get a room is a real room to sleep for tonight gosh you filthy mind humans "Kai the angel yelled.

"Then why are you yelling?!" Soobin yelled back at him.

"It's because you all are banana minded! And by I meant Banana minded is yellow minded because of the banana's color!" Kai yelled back at him for no reason.

"Then why are you yelling back?!" it's now Beomgyu's turn to yell at Kai as I rolled my eyes at them and walked away leaving the boys having a yelling war for who knows why.

"I don't know, why are you two yelling?!" Kai asked still in a yelling state because his voice is so loud that people can even hear in a mile.

"Yah you three idiots stop yelling and let's just go. Rayeon is going now to find a hotel and you three are yelling here for no reasons" I heard taehyun talking up but that wasn't enough to make them stop.

I stopped walking and thought up a dirty prank on them so they can follow us automatically and stop yelling as I ran back at Taehyun and make him run with me too shouting the word 'DON'T LOOK BEHIND!'.

Sure enough the three children was really spooked and fell for my prank as they ran too with us but what's surprising is that they are running more faster than me and taehyun because they looked so scared judging by their faces.

.

Two months passed by so fast like a fast forward button in a movie but still no good news or any clue where Beomgyu's soulmate file was. Okay I already said that over and over again everytime and I'm also tired telling the same thing.

Long story what happened all these time but short is that Nana and Beomgyu was starting to get more closer with each other. Not that kind of close I meant but they are really comfortable with each other now and they literally have plenty of time to spend together because we all enroll in the same school and as I said that they are also co workers.

While I'm here just watching them who have not much of 'love chemistry' between each other. That guy seriously don't know how to make a move at her and it's been 2 months plus already like dude... You're not even showing clues at her that you have a puppy crush on that bitc-okay on that 'angel'.

Since that particular night which caught me in a 1 week trauma, I started to stay away as POSSIBLE from Nana and even Beomgyu if she's around because who knows that girl has plans under her sleeves. I just still don't get why did she do that in the first place when I didn't even do anything bad at her.

Beomgyu changed though and I noticed it too. He started to interact with many people now and even the girls in the school and that's the main reason why I am really distant from him. He's been going out with Nana a lot and also with some girls which was actually a good idea so he can find his soulmate but then it feels weird to me. I can't say that he's a playboy because he's just too innocent to be one, he's just trying to be friendly and sometimes he's really clueless when a girl is flirting with him.

He also changed the way he behaves infront of me and one thing I should point out is the way he's showing too much of this weird affection towards me. He'll climb up the bed before sleep and start to twirl my hair and tickling my nose while I'm sleeping and he still maintained his 'kiss on forehead as a sign to show his appreciation of me existing' but he's getting more further by attacking my cheeks with his pecks every second he gets.

Like come on...I'm not a tree you woodpecker.

Though he did all of those things to me but what's bad news was that he did all of those actions and less talking with me which was odd. For example, I cooked breakfast which was burnt by accident and was ready to dump it in the trash and make a new one then he came from behind and pecked my cheek before taking the plate of burnt pancakes and ate it like nothing happened without even saying a word.

Back to reality from my long daydreaming because I'm in a serious situation right now. I'm late for Taehyun's basketball match and I promised to cheer for him there with Soobin.

No we're just friends aha.

Our friendship just upgraded into best friend for the four of us as I spent more time hanging out with them than beomgyu and by I meant four is tae, Soobs, me and Kai. He often stay on earth now and try to fit himself in the world.

I stopped running once I arrived at school and rested both my palms on my knees trying to catch my breath after running from the apartment for being late. It's weekend but the match took place at the school's stadium and they're competing against another school so it might be crowded on the bleachers.

"OH SHIVERING DAZZLING BEES I DIDN'T EVEN CHANGE..THIS USELESS BRAIN OF MINE-" I yelled and ran to the school building to the lockers, in search of something to wear that looks more normal than the pajamas I'm wearing right now.

Unfortunately, my luck ran out and there's no extra clothes in my locker so I have no choice but to go to Taehyun or Soobin's locker which they gave me their passwords because we always help each other to get things from our lockers if we're tired, same as me too.

I chose to borrow Taehyun's white t-shirt he has in his locker along with his blue shorts since he loves to wear shorts because I'll look like a little child wearing her father's clothes if I do wear Soobin's clothes.

I changed immediately and made a run to the next building which was the stadium as I barged in the stadium that was already full with loud cheers.

My eyes caught Soobin and Kai in the crowd as I tried to squeeze in and sat on the bleachers with them who booked a seat for me earlier.

"WOAH why are you late? Overslept again without me as your private alarm? "Kai asked as I glared at him because despite of him always being in his human form, he's still my angel and my private morning alarm and how did he do that now? He simply jump on the bed screaming at me and ran to the living room to watch TV instead of disappearing like he always do.

"You already know the answer and I ran my way here in my pajamas and I didn't even realize it. If I didn't realize it until now and didn't have a last minute transformation, you two would probably won't say that I'm your best friend because I'm wearing my pajamas to a basketball match infront of all those people "I told and Soobin ruffled my hair saying how cute I am as I pulled both his stretchy cheeks a bit returning the how cute at him.

We always do that and then what happens next was a mystery because Kai would either pull soobin away or say the same thing at soobin too but by rubbing his belly and today he did the second option which was rubbing his belly.

I saw Taehyun among the basketball players and we made eye contact when they have their short break as I climbed down and approached him.

I made a small run at him and I could see him chuckled as he opened his arms to receive me and hug me. Like soobin just now, I also have a new habit I always do at Taehyun and it's running and hugging him out of nowhere which I also don't know why.

"Ah ah wait-NONONO DON'T-" he gave me a signal to not hug him but It was too late.

"I'm sweaty.... "his voice trailed off as I pulled away and pushed him lightly.

"you could've remind me that earlier but I'm just kidding and don't mind because I haven't showered yet and ran my way here as soon as I woke up" I shrugged as he scoffed at me.

"No wonder you stink and hey, are you wearing my clothes-" he was about to complain but I placed my index finger on his lips and shushed him.

"Yes and I'll wash it for you later. Now go rest before the game resumes, you must be tired and good luck squirrel "I shushed him and removed my finger from his lips before I jogged my way to my seat back with him shouting 'Bye Lion!'.

I was surprised when a newcomer just took my seat and it's none other than Beomgyu which really surprised me more because it's been a long time since he joined us.

"Oh lion-sshi-who's shirt are you wearing? why are you hugging with Taehyun? And who said he has the permission to call you lion? It's supposed to be me only" he attacked me with questions suddenly before I can sit in between soobin and kai who scooted a bit to give me some space for me to sit.

"One is that it's none of your business and two is that it's what we call best friend hug because we always hug each other even with Soobs and Kai, right? " I looked at both the boys beside me and they nodded agreeing with me because it's our best friend thing to hug each other comfortably.

"why are you here and not hanging out with your new friends? Oh wait... Is Nana here? You should find somewhere with two vacant seats for you two to sit "I asked wondering my eyes everywhere, actually didn't have the intention of being sarcastic but it's really a question that popped up in my mind first because I'm worried to death if Nana's here. I'm scared of her for some reasons like dude...

"seriously Rayeon-sshi... I'm here to spend time with you. It's been so long since we've talked to each other that much like the first time we met. We've been distant and I'm here to buy your time so mind if I kidnap your best friend today? "Beomgyu sounded a bit upset at first before he asked both Soobin and Kai and Kai didn't hesitate to nod.

He gave me this look that says 'It's my job though and you really need to spend time with him ' and I nodded slowly.

.

"Here "I gave him a paper I tore from my notebook that I kept with me all along as I could see him reading it.

"While we're spending time, I'll help you to take you to the next step in relationship. Either one of you two really need to take one step to change Friendship to relationship in order for me to check if she's your soulmate or not when you two date "I smiled and he folded the paper into two and gave it to me back as he lifted his gaze to me.

"But I just want to spend time with you and forget everyone... "I caught him mutter those words under his breath as I placed my hands on his and held it.

"We will forget everyone if you want. Just do it with me for me okay? But in the future, you need to do it to someone special.I should help my client to find his soulmate and if it's not for you... Do it for me because I want to see you happy so where is that old bamboo who annoys this lion I know? Come on, I've watched so many kdramas with Kai helping me just to list out what to do to help you "I cheered, trying to bring back his smile and he did smile.

"Okay then. I'll follow your instructions today and be your student "he giggled with his deep voice as I smiled more widely and patted his boba shaped hair.

"let's go home for now and I'll change to something nice. Let's pretend it's a date and practice a bit before having lunch outside and watch a movie. These three places are the most common places where dates between couples happens "I suggested and made a run, holding his hand so he'll run with me too.

As soon as we arrived, I showered of course and chose my favourite dress that I didn't have time to wear, fixed my hair and even wore light makeup  I bought a week ago so he can feel like its a real date as practice for him and Nana in the future.

I took out the note that has the list just now and read the first few lines I wrote on the checklist. I swung the door open soon after only carrying a pen and my small purse containing my money, phone and apartment keys as I approached Beomgyu who's looking outside the window in the living room.

"Okay let's practice some few things first "I spoke up and he turned his head to me as the atmosphere suddenly become silent.

"u-uh... Alright you did the first one already. Gosh stop staring at me like that though I know it's a part of the practice, you're creeping me out bam "I looked away with a groan and walked closer towards him to poke him back to his senses for staring at me too long. He's making the situation awkward and having eye contact with him was not normal for me.

I crossed the 'if a boy loves someone, he'll look the girl in the eyes ' and gave Beomgyu the list so he could see it for himself. A memory suddenly hit me as I turned away to knock my head for doing a stupid mistake.

Actually that love fact I wrote has another sentence that comes with it and it's 'but if a girl loves someone, she'll look away ' but me and Kai decided to not include in it.

"Kiss her cheek...and back hug her because girls like it when boys hug them from behind" he read aloud the two steps and the next thing I know is that he's now snaking his arms around my waist and pecking my cheeks like he usually do.

"Yah beomgyu-shhi! Why choose that two steps when there are more steps you can choose. And this is what people call 'peck' not 'kiss' "I scolded him and he stopped yet he's still embracing me from behind and our face were only inches away.

He tilted his face to the side a bit that I instantly found it cute with his questioning look.

"But I like to peck some kisses to my lion. I'll just do once in the real one. Now let me give you two more pecks " he told and just give me the two pecks he meant without waiting for me to answer.

"Okay calm down Mister. I'll cross the two out and now what's left is the last one for now before we proceed to the next destination and resume "I whined and repel myself away from him and crossed the two out but then I was utterless looking at the last one I meant.

"what's wrong with-ouHooOooohhh "he was about to question what made me mute like that when he saw the words as we stared at each other with confused face.

"how should I put this but I've watched many dramas and what but I still don't know how they uh...they hMmMmMmmm "blood rushed up to my cheeks because flashbacks of drama scenes flashed in my mind.

"Kiss? I also don't know how because I've never kissed someone before. Maybe Google or something would help?" Beomgyu recommended as I snapped my fingers and took out my phone to search how to kiss with your partner on a date.

We took a seat first on the sofa because we're tired of standing up as I pressed this YouTube video that shows how to kiss and facts about kiss.

"researches had said that when two individuals are kissing, they are also exchanging from between 10 million and 1 billion bacteria-" the man in the video informed as Beomgyu cleared his throat.

"Uh... Should I think about it and not kiss "he asked, purposely coughing as I slapped his back lightly.

"Aish this boy. It's a normal thing you know "

"First, you need to find someone you really love because first kiss would forever stay in your memory so please do choose the right person. do small physical contacts like brushing her hair to the back of her ear and confess to the person about your feelings. Gaze at your love one and place one hand on her or his cheek before you come closer and land your lips on that person. Start off with a soft kiss as this is your first kiss you'll share with your partner. Slowly pull away from the person. Don't abruptly stop the kiss and pull away with your whole body. If it's a girl, caress her hair and don't break gazes and if it feels right, you can kiss again but if not, kiss her hand softly-"

Beomgyu's finger tapped the pause button of the video and pushed the phone down to my lap slowly as my eyes widened at his sudden actions.

I panicked inside and I could feel my heart beating fast when he gazed at my lips while his fingers brushed a strand of my hair to the back of my earlobe. He then lifted his gaze to my eyes as I gulped down my saliva as he does.

"I think I like you...Park Nana "

My heart dropped and my throat went dried when her name escaped from his lips as he neared his face towards mine with his hand now cupping my cheek and fluttered his eyes shut.

I places my hand between our lips before our lips would come in contact, rejecting him though it's just practice.

I backed away and shook my head at him with my lips forming a straight smile.

"You're doing great already. Skip the practice and just do it with her. I think she likes you, go for her and ask her out tonight. You've been close to her and I could see that you both are into each other. We practiced though it's a bit so it's your turn to do the real scene now. Uhmm... Use this cushion to be your kisser! I'll be outside booking a restaurant for you to ask her out later tonight if you're done. Bye" I rushed and pushed the cushion on his face so he'll kiss it but before I can stand up and search up for a good restaurant for him.

"book it for tomorrow, two tables because you're coming with me too. And wait for awhile "he stopped me and reached for his camera that was on the coffee table in front of us and took a picture of his one hand.

He did the same thing and try to make the picture appear as my face showed him a puzzled look once he saw the picture yet he doesn't want to show it to me but instead he took my hand and inspected it closely.

"Rayeon-sshi "

"I think I just found my soulmate "

"What do you mean found? We didn't do anything and I didn't even check Nana if she's your soulmate or what"

He shook his hand but then he held my hand more tighter and looked deep into my eyes.

"Me?! "

"They couldn't find my soulmates file because my soulmate is you all along!" he concluded.

"but that didn't prove that I'm your soulmate "I spoke softly and was still in a surprised state.

.

"Look.. Angel, he believes that I'm his soulmate when I'm actually his matchmaker. That doesn't make any sense, and it's all because of that photograph "

.

"But I believe in you, the photograph proves that you are the one and yet you're denying it. Can't you see that I'm trying to show my affection towards you? I have feelings for you and I'm sure that's not a thought. It feels so wrong to have feelings for your own matchmaker and it seems like you don't feel the same too...goodbye I guess "
