-???-

"ugh "I woke up and lifted my body to sit with my hands on the white floor for support as I tried to adjust my blurry vision with the bright lights of the white surroundings around me.

"the heck? Am I in a mental hospital room? Did I just banged the neighbor's head with a pan again and been thrown to the mental hospital for banging his head almost every night for shouting at his balcony?" I mentally asked myself and slowly stood up on my feet, holding my head with a hand, trying to recall things before my black out.

"You woke up" a chilly deep voice said from behind me and instead of a hot breath, a cold breath was felt near the nape of my neck.

"OH MY BURNING ROTTEN CHEESEBALLS" I screamed, feeling really startled at that surprise voice that pretty much caught me off guard, ready to turn around and flip that person with my white belt taekwondo skills or bite the person like a mad dog.

I turned around and my brain literally stopped functioning as I stood there with my hands on the air about to attack the person, but stopped when I saw that amazing well sculptured face of his.

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow as I cleared my throat and put my hands down but still had that angry facade on so he'll know how much pissed I am at him for surprising me that bad.

"Welcome to hell "the man greeted as I let out a loud laugh upon hearing his greeting.

"this hell is much better than I expected "I responded sarcastically and that arrogant cool side of the boy infront of me changed drastically as he smiled making his eyes turned into a thin line while he was waving his hands a bit at me.

"I'm just kidding dear human. Welcome to the headquarters of afterlife, I'm Angel number 148 and I assumed you just died just now right? Ah yeah,why would you be sent here if you're not dead, haha silly me" the handsome man introduced himself as I gave him the look before pushing him aside making him stumble almost landing down on his butt. There was a long moment of silence between us, each of us giving different kinds of stares.

I gave him the eagle eyes stare while he gave me that innocent mouse-like stare if that even exists. So pretty much, it was awkward before I suddenly reacted.

"Move angel guy, cut the filming, what a great joke you're pulling at me. Just show yourself you cameraman! I know this is just a film and the movie crew kidnapped me to make me as the lead character in the movie because I'm a hottie. I know that you all "I boasted myself confidently, after pushing the poor guy aside and tried to locate the door but couldn't find one.

"Girl, I don't understand a single thing you just said but I only understand the joke part. I'm not joking so please cooperate with me well. You see.... I'm a newbie here and you're the first human I'm dealing but can't believe that you're so hard to deal. Even rocks is easier to deal, for me, you're even worse than a rock. I don't want to get fire so hear me out "He breathed out and I turned around to look at him.

"Look you curly hair cute guy, I just want to go home...please... I will apologize to my neighbor, make good deeds, return all the pens I borrowed from my classmates, be productive-"

"You can't because you're already dead "He cut me off as my eyes met with his hazel ones as memories flashed back in my mind like a movie in a fast forward motion.

I died...and he wasn't joking. I died because of the life breathing machine that used to stabilized my life after experiencing a road accident, suddenly stop working when the power lines at the hospital was cut off for an hour.

I was silent as I could see that victorious grin plastered on his lips.

"Okay now as I said, listen me out and answer my questions because I need your data to be sent to the system "he said as a clipboard along with a quill appeared on his hands from who knows where.

"What's this 'system' actually? To track down dead people?" I asked before he could ask me anything.

"Good question dear, actually you were given a chance to have a 2nd life on earth. However, not as a human-"

"So are you telling me I'm going to reborn? Ommo, is it like in those movies when the person was dead and given a chance to be an angel?! I'M GOING TO BE AN ANGEL OYEAH DAMN YES BABY" I cheered, dancing like a happy monkey that just escaped from the zoo.

"AYEEE not so fast. You're not going to be an angel you silly human. The headquarters assign you to be a match maker for your client until he or she found their true love and you'll be sent back here after a year and then off you go to heaven "he halt my mini party as I stopped and hung my arms down in despair.

"Or maybe hell "he teased me as I gave him a death glare.

"so I'm going to be like those stupid cupids? You know I never had a boyfriend before my death, so how can I help my client finding theirs when me myself haven't experience one, well I am scared of boys actually so that's why I never have one. Do you provide me wings? Maybe those arrows thingy you shoot at people to make my work easier? Don't tell me I need to wear that diaper-"

"Hey, you're just a match maker. Cupids are higher in rank than you,so no wings no arrows and.... Why in the world would we ask you to wear a diaper "he laughed as I covered my ears due to his high pitched laugh that was similar to a dolphin.

"Name?" He asked, his voice and facial expression transitioned to serious as I opened my mouth about to answer but I can't. It's not like I couldn't get my voice out but the fact that I actually forgot my own name makes me puzzled.

"My name is... Uh... " I closed my eyes and bit my lips trying to remember my ownself but then he chuckled making me fluttered my eyes open to stare at that angel.

"Good, now your identity was whipped off your mind because at here, we create your own identity. A new identity and erased your own memory of your own identity on earth, yet the other memories are still safe in your mind so don't worry. Well let's see if there's a good name that suits you..."He said and a red big button appeared on the air with words that read 'generate identity ' written on it as he pressed it.

Many identities were shown but lastly it settled down as he showed it to me so I can see it for myself.

Name:Im Rayeon Age: 18Location : DaeguOccupation :Student Client: Choi Beomgyu

Pocket money balance: $10bank balance: $0.55

"So your name would be Im Rayeon as you can see...Now you have your identity let's send you off to your client Rayeon-sshi. And please bear this in mind that you also need to protect your client before your due date, if he dies then you'll be in big trouble "he said as I looked at him weirdly.

"Yah Ahjusshi why in the world does this generator also generates me how much my money at there would be? Can you generate it once again because I wanna be filthy rich and why the fork is my bank balance only 55 cents. How will I ever survive-"

"that's none of my business madam and I can't generate you another one because this identity fits you well and it chose you so accept the fact already"he said in a funny like accent when he pressed the word madam at me before looking back at his small clip board.

"Anyways, I'm going to tell you how your client looks like since we angels couldn't take a picture due to the person always going everywhere and won't stay still at that building you humans called home.... pale blonde hair, beautiful eyes, always carrying this blue thing everywhere, deep voice but has a loud scream, Ah! The person always say this word too when it is mad or something, maybe Waeng? Like who does that? that's why we always call the human, waeng . That's all for the info and now you're ready as new "he clapped his hands like a penguin after describing this client at me.

"How are you going to send me? By a taxi? By a magical portal from outer space? Ah wait I have something to ask-"

"Anni... Using this" he cut me off probably annoyed with my talkative mouth that always asks questions and suddenly took out a red squeaky toy-looking hammer before smacking me hard with it.

I didn't expect it to be that hard as I blacked out in an instant.

. .

I woke up once again and found myself lying down on the ground near a large green dumpster as I quickly got myself together and realized that I am now wearing an unfamiliar school uniform with a 10 dollar bill in my palm. Oh and a backpack filled with stuffs that I don't know at my back.

"That piece of toad-brained, how dare he sent me in front of a dumpster?! I swear if I meet him again, I'll make him get a big fat 'you're fired ' from the headquarters and make sure he'll suffer. And ugh, he only gave me 10 dollars-"

I can't even ask him about the rules because he didn't gave me a chance to and just banged my head with that useless toy hammer.

"Ah jinjja why am I even a match maker for this person... Just hope it's a girl because if its not I'm going to make him a girl because boys scares me a lot" I muttered under my breath and looked around my surroundings trying to locate my client but then I realized that how can I locate them when I don't even know that person's face. Just the name and the description that weird angel told me.

I looked around, scanning my now unfamiliar surroundings, running here and there trying to find someone with a name tag that was similar to my client when suddenly I heard a sound of a click not far away I'm at.

"just... Waeng... That's the last photo film...now I have to buy a new packet again "A voice groaned soon after as I turned around to look at that person.

The boy had an unsatisfied look as he ran up to me making me have a panic attack.

Alert alert, this is not a drill, a boy is approaching me. Press the run button in this case. But unfortunately, that imaginary 'button' inside me seems to not work and my feet is now officially glued to the pathway.

The boy was holding a sky blue instax camera with his lips pouted abit before he stopped right in front of me.

"Miss... I'm sorry for accidentally taking your photo, I was going to take a picture of the sakura tree behind you since the petals are falling. Here take it "He gave me a polaroid after he fan it so the picture would appear as I slowly took it from his hand.

"This looks great...thank you and sorry for interrupting "I gave him a sheepish smile and felt bad for photo bombing his photography.

"By any chance....do you know a girl with blonde pale hair, and uhh.... Beautiful eyes, always carrying this blue thingy everywhere, deep voice but has a loud scream? "I stopped him, taking my chance to ask that stranger and he gave me that weird.... Unreadable look.

We both looked at each other puzzled when he decided to break the ice after staring each other with that dumb look.

"And may I know her name to make sure?"  he said in a slow voice as I bit the inside of my cheeks a bit, trying to remember my client's name. Unique names are actually hard to remember if you ask and that girl's name was pretty much a first time for me to hear one.

"Choi Bamboo? Wait....or is it Choi Bambi? Aish this doesn't make any sense, why would someone named a child bamboo or bambi. if only that curly haired angel gave me a paper or something so I could remember that name "I groaned and I noticed that he crossed his arms to his chest with an eyebrow raised.

"are you sure that's the person you're looking for ? I don't know any Choi Bamboo or Choi Bambi at here. I only know Choi Beomgyu in my school "he laughed as like mocking me for telling him the wrong name as I said yes to that new name he said.

Well that was the name I was trying to tell though, yet he was laughing really loud right now.

I was startled when I noticed he has yellow pale hair, holding a blue instax camera and I'm sure that he said that Waeng word just now when he accidentally took a picture of me. He perfectly fits the description.

"OMMO SO YOU'RE THAT WAENG HUMAN OH I REALLY THOUGHT ITS A GIRL "I yelled and pointed at him, started to get panic.

Hey you simple minded angel, you better take me back and rewind because I'm so embarrassed that I was describing my client to someone when it's himself. I even just called him a girl-

"Waeng human? I know I say waeng a lot but I didn't know someone called me waeng human, especially someone who mistaken my name with bamboo and bambi. So why are you searching for me? " he questioned me and now my mind is a complete mess.

How on earth should I tell him I'm his matchmaker and I'm going to help him find his match. I couldn't just say, Hi I'm your beautiful matchmaker, no I'm not one of those silly cupids sitting on clouds or whatever. I'm here to help you find your match and poof, my work on earth is done. You better be grateful that you were sent a gorgeous bitch like me so thank you.

"Uhhh...uhhh.........Uhh.... "

And now, my never ending 'uh' saga goes on and on as he waited for me to finally say something other than 'uh' like a parent waiting for their baby to finally say something other than 'uh' as their first word.

"Aish, this is all your fault you boil-brained angel, you should've given me a script or something. First of all, my name is Im Rayeon and I'm here as your matchmaker. I'm not a cupid but just a matchmaker sent by a thoughtless angel after I died. It's okay if you think I'm crazy because all of this is also nonsense and I still can't believe I was sent back to be a matchmaker instead of to heaven "I sighed heavily and I could see that face of his turned into pale.

"Look lion... Now I remembered where I've seen you before... I saw your face at a picture in your funeral when I was about to go to my aunt's funeral yesterday. I don't know if I should believe you or not..."his voice trailed off as I put both hands on my hips once I heard my name being called wrong.

"It's not lion you bamboo guy! It's Rayeon with the R, not L. Repeat after me, RAYEON" I groaned and he grinned.

"LAYEON, it's Lion you lion "

"look Choi bamboo, you know how to say 'R' right? So say my name once again and respect your matchmaker "I said in an arrogant way to annoy him yet he still said that Lion instead of Rayeon.

"You even called me the wrong name so why would I call you the right name when you called me bamboo all the time, for a hundredth time it's Choi Beomgyu, B to the E to the O to the M to the G to the Y to the U-"

"Nae nae Choi bamboo. Now let's go and let me stay at your place. You don't expect me to get lost at an unfamiliar place and leave me sleeping on the park bench would you? Well I don't even know where the park is located " I cut him off mid sentence and he gave me the 'are you serious look'.

"yes, I'm serious...im homeless and you're my only hope at here, I don't even recognize where in the world am I "I said in a lower voice and he sighed, probably giving up.

"arraseo arraseo... I'll let you stay in my place for the meantime but you are always welcome to leave my place if you don't like it or can't stand being with me Miss matchmaker "He turned around and walked away as I smiled and threw my fist on the air, cheering up a bit before following him like a duckling following it's mother.

"So bamboo-sshi, where are we actually?"I asked, skipping a bit while trailing behind.

"Daegu, and should I remind you again that my name is Choi Beomgyu not bamboo lion-sshi "he groaned, probably getting annoyed with me who's teasing him.

"Come on, just get along mate! Let's go to your place, I'm exhausted "I shouted after poking him at his arm and he rolled his eyes at me but I caught him smiling a bit at the corner of his lips.

To be continued....

-Preview for next chapter-

"And hey..can I call you bam? It suits you and it's the short form of bamboo "I asked him as he scoffed with his arms crossed to his chest.

"Then I'll call you lion to make things fair for both of us-"

.

When I tilted it a bit to the side, the image dissapears and the Polaroid was pure blank without any picture but if I turned it straight back, the picture would appear once again.

But... What is that and why..

.

"Shhh... Lioooonnn "the voice whispered again and now really near my ear that I can feel the person's hot breath in my ear.

"go away bamboo "I shooed him because who else would be waking me up other than him.

"no. Bamboos cannot go away or even walk"
