White. Every way you turn, all there is, is white. The colour of purity, innocence - holiness. The colour all angels see every hour, of every day - aside from those on any form of assignment.

Which is what jisung is about to do today. For the first time in all of his years of existing, he's being allowed to step foot on earth and be blessed with the duty of protecting a human and keeping their soul safe.

He's only ever seen earth and humans from heaven, looking down on them and watching the events of history play out. Humans have always intrigued jisung - the fact that they have free will, emotions, the ability to be on their own and make choices before ever even worrying about the consequences. Their ability to feel is just fascinating to the young angel, and if he could feel it, he'd be envious of their emotional range and how easily they seem to be able to express themselves - its truly amazing to jisung.

But anyway, back to our present situation.

Eventually the white stops and jisung halts in front of a wooden door that's seemingly appeared into this blank void. His mind is racing with worries and questions before his hand even moves from his side. Before he can even take a moment to calm his "nerves" the door swings open, revealing an antique looking office with 2 other angels inside - the only sound to be heard aside from jisungs racing heart, was the rhythmic ticking of the large clock on the back wall.

"Jisung," the blonde angel starts, pulling jisungs attention back to reality. "Come in."

The boy enters the room, the door slamming shut behind him, not even daring to speak once he's bowed - an undeniable tension brewing in the air; both from anticipation and what can only be described as nerves.

"I'm sure you know why you're here, so I'll get right to it," hongjoong starts, moving around the desk with a brown file in hand. "Your assignments name is lee minho. He is 21 years old and lives alone. He has a brother named lee felix, who's 19, who lives with his boyfriend seo changbin, who's 20. All other information is disclosed in the file."

"You are to protect lee minho from any danger that he may face," chan continues, standing and looking down on jisung - making the younger feel inferior in his position. "That includes keeping the supernatural world hidden from him. If you or the border are compromised, you will be pulled from this assignment and another angel will take your place."

Jisung simply nods, eyes trained upon the pages set in front of him - attempting to take in as much information as he possibly can. Determined to learn everything he is able to about lee minho.

Suddenly, another door appears on jisungs right, a sleek black with a golden handle. It swings open, blinding white light seeping through the opening.

"It's time to go han. I wish you luck - stay on task and keep him safe."

Jisung nods once more, standing and facing the elder two. "Thank you for this honour. I promise I won't let you down." He swears, bowing lightly before turning to the light and slowly walking through the doorway.

His vessel is already waiting a few minutes away from the house - already agreeing to let jisung in, hoping he could bring some light back into the life of another person; even if it means leaving his own behind. Of course that made something in jisungs new chest hurt when he thinks back on it, but he knows it's for a good cause and the man's soul is bound for heaven once the angelic presence kills him essentially.

So now jisung stands on the doorstep of lee minhos house, the file he was holding only moments ago, morphing into a newspaper ad - put in by minho - for a roommate. He raps his knuckles against the door - foot tapping against the stone doorstep, teeth sinking into his bottom lip as he waits for the door to open.

And as soon as it does, hes immediately lost for words - his throat closing up and anything remotely fathomable being trapped. So instead of a warm greeting, or a sturdy handshake - the first thing lee minho gets from jisung, is the angel falling into him whilst choking on air.

Hey, so I decided to completely restart this. Hopefully this turns out better than last time :)

Also, there'll be quite slow updates for the time being because im hella uninspired.
