The Aetherius
On Different Worlds“That’s bull.” Mina cursed as she looked at Chaeyoung incredulously. They were standing in front of Mina’s apartment building – the world feeling like it froze the moment Chaeyoung revealed the truth to Mina.
“Look, I’m in a rut and I need as much help as I can get –“Chaeyoung furrowed her eyebrows as all the possible chaos that could happen to earth was running through her mind. “So what can I do to make you believe that I’m actually telling the truth?” She ran a hand through her hair in frustration; looking up to meet Mina’s eyes with a pleading look on her face.
Mina gulped, shoving down the nervous feeling in her guts. “Then take me there.”
“Take you… where, exactly?” Chaeyoung breaths out as she tried to weigh in the curious look on Mina’s face. “Where do you want me to take you?”
With a shaky breath, Mina fiddles with the strap hanging around her neck – her camera falling just beneath her waist. “Take me to heaven.” Mina took a step forward in an attempt to somehow intimidate the smaller girl in front of her. “If you really are what you say you are, then you’ll take me there.”
Chaeyoung shook her head frantically. “No, I can’t do that. We have certain rules and –“
“If you won’t, then I really won’t believe you. The world can end for all I care.” Mina raised her eyebrow, challenging the other girl.
“I –“ Chaeyoung sighed as she slumped her shoulders in defeat. “Promise me that you won’t tell a single soul about it.” She looked up and locked her eyes with Mina’s.
“My lips are sealed.” Mina made a zipping motion around her lips, a small smile forming on her face.
Chaeyoung turned around and got ready to make a portal, feeling anxious with the way Mina was carefully watching her. She faced Mina again, ing her pinkie towards the human.
“Wh-What’s this?” Mina mumbles in confusion. Chaeyoung pouts, ing her pinkie even closer to Mina.
“Pinkie promise me.” Chaeyoung mutters under her breath, her eyes avoiding Mina’s gaze in embarrassment. “Pinkie promise me that you won’t tell anyone.”
Mina tried to hold back her laugh, but it failed. She giggled sweetly and bit back a smile, wrapping her pinkie in Chaeyoung’s. “I pinkie promise that I won’t tell anyone.”
“G-Good. Also, don’t laugh at me because I’m not that good with my powers yet.” Chaeyoung took a deep breath and focused. Mina nodded, keeping quiet so that she won’t break the angel’s concentration.
Soon enough, a blinding white portal (despite it looking unstable) appeared before them. Before Mina could even react, Chaeyoung pulled her in the portal.
“Are you out of your mind!?” Dahyun exclaims as soon as she found Chaeyoung hand in hand with a human inside heaven. “What were you even thinking? Why did you bring a human to heaven?”
“Shh!” Chaeyoung scrambles to float towards Dahyun, letting go of Mina’s hand that she somehow held on to as they used the unstable portal to heaven. “N-Not too loud, Dahyun!”
“What do you mean, ‘not too loud’? I have to report this to Jihyo! She’s right over there!” Dahyun exaggeratedly gestures behind her, panic
