L.Joe's POV

I wish I could say I knew exactly what I was doing, but that would be such a horrible lie.

I didn't remember anything, like how my shirt became stained from what I'm sure is blood. And how I even ended up being here, who I was in love with, and how I managed to get myself killed.

There were so many questions I had.

Yet none of them could be answered.

That's the life of a cupid. That's what we lived by. 

Get the job done, do it right, and then become exterminated into thin air. Not even a grave for us to be rememembered by.

As a cupid, we could be easily mistaken as angels, but there was a huge difference between us and them.

And that was the fact that they didn't die with a broken heart, but they died happily. That's what made them angels, and us, well, us.

If I was only a little more fortunate, then maybe my heart wouldn't feel so hollow.

And maybe I could've gotten a different assigned patient as well.

"I can't find anyone." Chanhee stated with crossed arms as he leaned back into the bench that was perched on the sidelines of the park.

I only floated beside him, eyeing the rest of the creatures that didn't seem to pay any attention to us. And most certainly not me.

To them, I was invisible.

I was nothing, except to Chanhee, I'm cupid.

"You're not looking hard enough." I complained, ready to pound the out of the human, "Hurry up and pick some random girl so I can get this over with already."

"What's the rush?"

"Nothing, I suppose. But if I'm dead, I belong in the grave, not here babysitting you."

"Who's babysitting who? You're the one complaining."

"You're the one making me complain."

"I'm not making you do anything!"

I sighed, tapping my head with the arrow that belonged to the earthling beside me. If anyone could give me a deadly headache, it was him.

"And how come I'm the only one who's able to see you?" He questioned, patting the vacant area beside him for me to take.

I shrugged. "Because I'm your cupid?"

"Another question."

"What a surprise."

"Is that blood on your shirt?"

"No, it's paint."

"You think using sarcasm is funny?"

"I only use it because you happen to be stupid."

He gave an agitated sigh, "I want to switch cupids."

"Don't put the burden on another cupid for having to take care of you." I replied, settling in the spot beside him, "Besides, you'll only be stuck with me for however long it takes until you find someone you like. So the faster you pick someone, the faster I'll leave."

There was a brief silence in the air, our eyes watching the people that surrounded us. 

"I don't really want you to leave yet though."

"And why is that?"

"I get lonely."

My gaze trailed over to the boy beside me, and somehow, I knew very well that what he was saying, was the truth. I didn't know how I knew, I just did. It was as if I could see right through him, yet I didn't know much about him at all. Or did I? It was hard to tell.

He was the type to have a lot of friends, friends that came and went, but none of them ever stuck around. It wasn't because he wasn't worth the stay, but it was because they always assumed he had many. But I knew better. He was the loneliest, under the mask that held a firm smile, there was a sadness he would never show. I knew he was just waiting, waiting for someone to actually notice him. To actually want to be around him. He was waiting to be wanted.

Wanted by just one person.

My head started to throb from the thought process that just ran across it. That was odd. I was sure that I didn't know Chanhee very well. So where did that come from?

No, not where.

Who did it come from?

"L.Joe?" The slightly unfamiliar voice dragged my attention away from my earlier thoughts.

"Yeah?"

He fixed his eyes on me, studying my face, and the features on it. "You look awfully familiar, but I... I  don't know. I could be wrong."

"I look familiar?"

"Yes, but..."

"But what?"

"You could be a stranger for all I know."
