Taboo
SwitchCHORONG POV
It's been 2 days since I decided to return to heaven. Who would've thought that I'd be returning so soon. I decided to descend from heaven to kill Bomi and avenge Naeun but I wasn't able to. It was my goal but I left earth without even finishing it. But I never regretted it, after knowing the truth. I began to hate myself. I shouldn't be hating on Bomi but myself. After figuring out the reason why I wasn't able to execute my plan, I began to hate myself more.
FLASHBACK
"Eunji.. What are you doing here?" Bomi asked Eunji who was inside of a black cat now instead of Bomi's teddy bear from the last time.
"I already told you. I am here to take Chorong-unnie with me. Didn't I tell you? I'm your rival and you should despise me." Eunji said from the cat's perspective.
"Chorong. What's all this? I - I don't understand." She looked at me with those confused eyes. How am I supposed to tell her. My feelings, the truth, everything. Until I fixed this mess, I can't face her. I don't know if I'll be able to but. This is all for everyone's good.
"Sorry.." It was all I was able to say before me and Eunji went back.
PRESENT
"Unnie. What's wrong? You've been spacing out until now. Don't be like that. I prefer seeing you smile than looking like an old grandma staring out of nowhere." Eunji said as she gave me her ever famous eyesmile. We were lying down on a cloud mat in a place where angels where allowed to relax and do some chatting with each other. If you compare it to the human world, you can call this a park. Yup. A park made of pure white clouds. A lot of couple angels can be seen around us. Well, we ARE a couple. That's right, I decided to accept Eunji's feelings when she met me two days ago. And here we are doing nothing, with her arms wrapped in my shoulder and I was leaning on hers.
"It's tomorrow huh." I said and looked at her with eyes of guilt.
She glanced at me and flicked my forehead.
"Unnie! I told you I only want to see your smiles. Like this" And she grinned more widely than she ever did. I wonder how can she do that? All these years, how was she able to smile like nothing? She was strong, all this time I should be the one at her shoes and yet she bared all the pain.
"Ahhh. I can't believe that the day would come where the Chorong that I greatly admired is now lying beside me as my girlfriend." Eunji sighed. She looks really happy. But I know what or who will make her happy even more.
" If you didn't admire me that much. All of this won't be happening." I mumbled but she heard it quite clearly.
She sat up and stared at me. Her smiles were gone and those serious eyes that she barely had was enough for me to looked away.
Upon gazing to another direction, I saw a pair of wings hiding at a nearby cloud bush. Those wings were too familiar that I don't even need to see her face. It's been a long time since I last saw her. I returned two days ago but I refused to talk to her and avoided her almost all of the time. It pained me to do this but whenever I see her, I was reminded of my guilt, I was reminded of my feelings.
Eunji must've saw me staring at somewhere and she looked at the same direction.
"Naeun-ah! Why are you hiding there? Come here!" Eunji called the hiding angel.
Naeun peeked at us and came closer while fidgeting. I clenched Eunji's arms but she just smiled at me assuring that everything's fine.
"Eunji-unnie." Naeun mumbled upon reaching us. Her head was hanging low. I know that she wanted to ask a lot of things. I too, wanted to say something to her. Looks like, I need to face her already and stop running away huh.
"Eunji-ah, can you leave us for a while?" I asked for Eunji to gave us a little privacy although I didn't need to, since Eunji already know everything except for one thing.
"All right. I'll give you guys a heart-to-heart sister talk then." She stood up and prepared herself to leave.
She was about to walk away but gave me a word first.
"You can tell her if you want to.." And with that. She left.
I took a deep breath and prepared myself before speaking. Naeun was now sit
