_Chanyeol-ah, where are you~?

Sang the little 9 years old Baekhyun as he roamed around, looking for his friend. They were playing hide and seek at the garden of the castle. Peeking behind the bush nearby, he reminded himself to ask the big brothers for a dog later. He has always wanted one to play with and maybe it could help him find his friend faster. Smiling at the thought, he skipped away, continued his searching.

Minutes passed and still, Baekhyun couldn’t find his friend. He was getting frustrated and about to give up when he heard a whimper. Turning around, he was sure that the sound came off from behind that wooden bench. That doesn’t sound like Chanyeol, he thought. Peeking under the bench, he saw something that seemed like a big pair of black wings. Curious, he walked around the bench, trying to make his steps as light as possible. And soon, a kid appeared in his sight. It was a boy, probably just a bit smaller than himself. His black wings were shaking slightly as the boy hugged his knees and cried.

Staring wide eyes, it was the first time Baekhyun sees such a creature and he wondered about how the boy got in here. This castle is located in the middle of nowhere, deep in the forest, how did he find it? Sensing the shadow that hovered over him, the boy looked up as their eyes met. Everything seemed to freeze as fright were all over the younger boy’s face. His eyes seemed dark, but didn’t look scary at all. Baekhyun gulped, he didn’t know why but he just wanted to comfort the poor boy. That was the only thing on his mind at the moment.

_Hey there. - He spoke softly and slowly squatted down - Why are you crying?

_I-I don’t know. - The boy sobbed - But I’m scare.

_It’s okay, no one can hurt you here. You can come with me.

He reached out his hand, trying to touch the boy but stopped once he spotted the wound on his arm. Although the blood has already dried but the wound didn’t look old at all.

_Omo, you’re wounded. - He widened his eyes - Chanyeol-ah!

The sound of footstep filled the empty hallway as the boy ran as fast as he could. He peeked through every room on the way, even asking the maids but still couldn’t find the one that he needed.

_Where is he? - He wondered out loud, didn’t notice the tall figure behind him.

_Chanyeol, who are you looking for?

_Hyung! Baekhyun found an injured bird, you need to come with me now!

Before he could even say anything, Kris already got drag away by the little boy. He didn’t really understand why an injured bird could be such a big deal to his dongsaeng. Soon, they were at the garden as the boy looked around, trying to remember where his friend was.

_Ah, there he is. Baekhyun-ah! - Chanyeol called as his friend stood up and turn around.

_What took you so long? - The shorter boy frowned.

_Sorry, but it’s hard to find him in this big place. - He pouted slightly, looking apologetic.

_Then where is he? - Baekhyun looked around and found his hyung looking wide eyes not far from there - Hyung, are you okay?

Kris was starstruck as his eyes glued to that little figure, the one was hiding behind his dongsaeng. The dark aura around that boy him in and he felt like he couldn’t breathe for a moment. He read it in the book before but it was the first time he see such a creature, let alone such a young one. He slowly stepped forward before squatted down.

_Baekhyun. - He asked, trying to calm down - Where did you find him?

_Behind the bench, I saw him crying there. - Baekhyun looked at Kris oddly.

_So, what kind of bird is he? - Chanyeol suddenly spoke up, catching his friend’s attention.

_What? Are you an idiot? He’s not a bird.

_Then why does he has those wings?

_Because he’s an angel, babo.

That’s right, he’s an angel, but a dark one instead. People might mistake it for the one that fell from Heaven but it wasn’t. Dark Angel, is the one that flew up from Hell. They could be both good and bad; could be wonderful like an angel but also deadly like a devil. They are the mixture of Heaven and Hell.

_Hyung, can Zitao stay with us?

_Huh? - Kris looked up in puzzle - How do you know his name?

_He told me so. You will let him stay, right?

He hesitated, not sure if this was a good idea. But when he looked at that boy and how he clung on Baekhyun’s shirt, he just knew that he got no choice. Sighing in defeated, a smile played on his lips as both of his dongsaeng started to cling on his shirt and used aegyo on him. This was one of the bad things for being the big brother: not capable of resisting aegyo.

And just like that, his life got involve with a Dark Angel.
