TWO ANGELS, IN CONVERSATION
ARCHANGEL REALM | HEAVEN
MARCH, 2023
Can we get this over with already? I'm hungry.
Jin.
We're Archangels.
For the four thousandth time, we can't feel hunger.
I know that.
But it sounds so cool when the humans say it.
And their food looks so good.
Jin.
I bet I'd be an awesome cook.
Jin.
I'd look really, really handsome in an apron.
Seokjin!
Namjoon?
Can we please get back to the task at hand?
...which is?
Reviewing the humans in need.
Oh yeah!
My least favourite day of the year.
Damn, remember 2020's review?
I've never seen so many Guardians sent down to help humans.
Some pandemic, huh?
Mmm.
Joonie, you know me, I love the big boss.
Got a LOT of respect for Her.
But a pandemic? I thought we were past those days-
Jin...
Right, right, I'm going off track again.
So, it's the same as always, right?
We pick the humans most in need of a guardian?
And then we can go back to being real angels with more important things to do?
Jin! Humans are important.
I know, but we do the cool stuff, Joonie.
Building cities, and choosing world leaders, and leading space exploration.
Well...
I didn't spend four thousand years as a Guardian Angel just to assist overenthusiastic dance instructors from Gwangju.
You loved Hoseok, don't even try to deny it.
Fine, yes, I miss that little ray of sunshine.
His Guardian got the easiest job in the world.
Hobi needed, like, a sprite, and his soul was saved.
Jin, you're going off track again.
Sorry.
It's fine. I've sorted most of the humans out anyway, there's just...
Two, that I need your advice on.
One is a rollover from last year, and the other is a new case.
Let me guess - the rollover from last year is Yoongi.
Yep.
His Guardian insists he's making progress, but...
I'm not sure.
Anyway, I've given him one more year.
What do you think?
I think that's fine, but tell his Guardian to be careful.
Staying human for too long... well, you know what it can do.
The human isn't worth it.
Agreed.
We can't afford to lose a Guardian over it.
So his case will stay open for one more year?
Yes, I suppose. And the other human?
Ah, yes. Mia Moon.
Mia Moon?
What is she, a manic pixie dream girl?
...I'm seriously regretting giving you 'How to Speak Like a 21st Century Human' for Christmas.
But is she though?
No, she's a teacher in Seoul.
Good job, nice house, great friends, adorable dog-
Okay... so what's the catch?
That's the thing. I don't know.
All of a sudden she comes up on my list of souls in need of guidance for this year -
No explanation given.
The only thing I can see in the notes is a bad break-up at Christmas...
But even that was nothing worthy of angelic intervention.
Okay... weird.
Very weird.
People don't just appear on that list, Joonie.
They have to be really struggling-
I know. And there's something else.
I'm listening...
I would just send her guardian down, but...
Her guardian is Jungkook.
So? What's the problem?
This would be Jungkook's final task.
...Oh.
Yeah. If he fails...
He'll miss his transcendence.
You see my dilemma now?
I mean... it is an odd situation, Joonie.
But she must be on the list for a reason.
Jin, I don't know-
Don't know what?
Even if it does turn out to be more difficult than expected, Jungkook can handle it.
That's why he's being considered for transcendence.
I just... I have a bad feeling.
Ah, Joonie. Stop stressing out.
Jungkook is gonna go down there, save one last soul...
And become the youngest Archangel in the history of time.
I mean-
Has he ever failed us? Not once.
That's true, but-
One last soul, Joonie. That's all.
I guess...
Joonie, send him down.
What's the worst that can happen?
hi, bagel buns!
what do you think of angel NamJin so far?
are you loving them?
