Tao has lost his way again. It’s hard to navigate in unfamiliar streets. And unlike Heaven, the road signs here are unreadable, well maybe to him. He doesn’t usually pay attention to human language lessons since everything gets translated anyway. He wants to say that he regrets not learning things while he can but he’s more annoyed at the other assistant for giving him this certain task when he knows perfectly well that the latter is better at navigation and foreign language.


                It’s their second day here and he’s assigned to get food they won’t even eat all. He knows it’s for appearances but wouldn’t that be a waste? But maybe having human bodies would affect their digestive system too. It would be hard, more likely impossible to find manna here.


                He’s been  walking for over twenty minutes now and he thinks he’s been circling this block three times already and the food is getting cold and there’s this new drama that he’s been monitoring, he doesn’t know if Yi Xing-nim remembered to record it. He probably didn’t since he practically forgets everything. Tao just hopes he’s not spacing out instead of learning to use the new software that they have built to use while they’re here. That one’s pretty easy to use though compared to the one they have in Heaven after all it filters wishes and can only detect sincere ones. So they won’t have to go through all those silly request of people (mostly pre-teens) asking superficial people to marry them.


                This block again?! Tao’s already getting frustrated. He needs to ask someone for directions. His drama is waiting for him. He spots a tall blonde boy with a weird part, smiling by himself saying “Yehet.” He looks unhinged but Tao doesn’t really have a choice. So he approaches the boy cautiously, ready to run (or use his martial arts skills) if necessary.

    
                He stands there in front of the blonde boy not knowing what to say. He forgot one specific detail, aside from not being able to properly read human writing, he hasn’t actually mastered human language. He now wishes he was a guardian instead of an assistant. They’re given the ability to speak in tongues. That would have been useful in this situation. If he was a guardian he probably wouldn’t get lost in the first place.


                The boy is looking at him, face void of expression. What now? He asks himself.


                “Are you lost?”


                He’s momentarily frozen in his spot. He could understand what the boy was saying. A bit muffled but he thinks he knows how to respond and the boy would be able to comprehend what he’ll say. A smack on the side of his head brought him back to the present. A face with a Cheshire like grin appeared in front of him.


                “Nope, he’s not lost… He’s just stupid. And maybe he finds you attractive…” 


                “What?! Chen!” Tao exclaimed. On the other hand the blonde boy smiles shyly. Tao finds the smile adorable but he doesn’t think the boy is that attractive. He’s seen far more attractive people.


                “We’re going now, he hopes to see you around…” Tao was dragged away before he can even make a decent protest.


                “What was that about?! And where have you been?” Tao whines to his companion.


                “Around. The city of Seoul is meant to be explored little grasshopper…” Chen grinned.


                “Stop acting mysterious…”


                “Stop being a brat and let’s get you and our food to safety…”            

~o~

               Yi Xing doesn’t get it. He does a bit, but why is it so hard to use this… thing? He can’t get past the log in requirement. And he’s using the same log in and password he has used centuries upon centuries ago. Where is the ‘forget password?’ link when you need it?


                How can he start working on finding something to do while on Earth without seeing if there’s anyone who has actually bothered to wish for a love life. And yeah he also wants to see how the new system works.


                The  door to their apartment (it’s someone else’s apartment but they heard that the owner is a close friend of Yi Fan’s so they decided to crash while said ethereal owner is on vacation) opened with quite a ruckus. His assistants are either fighting over how they would eat human food or plotting a way to persuade him back up and abandon this mission.


                “The food’s here~ and guess what, Tao might have found a potential human mate… You should start looking through those resumes…”


                Yi Xing looks at one of his assistants with dead eyes. How can Tao decide on this without consulting him first? He would’ve known if they were matched or not. Well, he can tell him that later once the device is up and running.


                “Chen’s making up stories. I just got lost and I can’t help it that I’m irresistible to humans…”


                Chen snorts, like anyone would be attracted to Tao’s atrocious eye bags. Tao is nothing compared to his Adonis-like beauty. He looks at the computer that he has been using since they got here. Human technology is a bit slow compared to what they have in Heaven but they just have to make do. The error message on the screen indicates that their boss hasn’t actually made progress.


                “Have you forgotten your password again?”


                “Of course not, did you change it?” Yi Xing looks at the screen again and typed his password. The same error message popped up. He now only has one try left before the software deletes itself.


                “You’ve consumed all 149 tries?”


                “You did change the password!” Yi Xing accused.


                “Didn’t sajangnim change the password yesterday to ‘Fateisanass’ after you argued with Kris-nim?” Tao peered at the computer and typed said password. The welcome music sounded and the current banner of the newly invented program appeared on the screen.


                So maybe Yi Xing did forget about the password, its old age he thinks. C’mon he has lived for over a thousand years already, give him some slack.

                The program pinged indicating that someone has stumbled into their lame matchmaking website. Mind you, this is not an ordinary website, only those with sincere (most of the time, desperate) intentions would be able to see it and a special keyword needs to be used to be able to stumble upon the link.

                Yi Xing activated the chat box and invited their first victim, ermmm client in.

UNDER THE MOON CHATROOM

HANDSOME MANLY CHINA MAN: Hello?

YUE LAO WANNABE: Yes?

HMCM: Oh… I was ermmm… just looking to see if this was a legit site. Is there a payment for services? Do I need to give up a body part?

YLW: …

HMCM: Ermmm… I haven’t actually explored the site… I just typed in--

YLW: You stumbling upon this site is not coincidence… It’s inevitable…

HMCM: Oooookay… So… Do I get to rant now? 

YLW: …

HMCM: I’ll take that as a yes… You see…

               And so the hunt for the cute and fluffy (insert all words pertaining to adorable here)baozi looking café worker began.
