Chapter 54
Damned AngelThud… thud… thud… Why did it sound like mini birds were flying into my window? I walked up to the window and drew open the curtain. Thud… a stone knocked against the glass. I opened the window and stood on my balcony, to find Seongwoo looking up at me. It was hard to talk to someone on the ground from three floors up, without yelling and I was not going to do that at 10 pm. Why was he throwing stones against my window when he normally just flew up there? I gestured for him to come up.
He looked around him before spreading out his wings and flying up to me. “Hey stranger”, Seongwoo said. “Hey boy who throws stones against my window. I thought you lost these pretty things”, I held onto his wing, still mesmerized by it. “What are you doing right now?”, he asked. “I was just studying”, more like doodling Tris loves Daniel all over my book. “Come with me”, he held out his hand, “Come on, it will be fun, I promise”. Where did he want to take me this late at night? “Okay… but I’m not flying… I’ll meet you at the front door”, Seongwoo smiled and flew back down to wait for me.

"So then how come he never wants to see me or Jae again?", he asked sadly.
"If you knew the things he went through, you'd understand why he is the way he is now… but I do know that he doesn't hate you... or Jaehwan". Seongwoo gave me 'a thanks for trying to make me feel better' smile, “So have you ever watched a meteor shower before?”, he asked. The realization then hit me. The Wannable meteor shower was tonight. I had completely forgotten. “We are going to watch the shower???”, I was suddenly excited. Seongwoo nodded. "I remember you saying how much you loved this whole astronomy thing”.
I thought back to the night Seongwoo and I sat on my balcony, watching the stars. “What do they look like from heaven?”, I had been so curious. He had explained how heaven neve
