“Have you heard anything yet?”, I asked Jaehwan who had popped into the dorm to check in on me. He was on triphilim duty today. “No”, he said, “I will give you feedback as soon as I know”. I nodded anxiously, “How much trouble will he be in though?”. “He attacked a fallen angel and it wasn’t in self-defense or for the protection of a charge. It’s strictly against the rules”, he explained. I already knew all of this. It was just another rule I didn’t agree with. And now because Seongwoo had fought with Daniel, he had to go back up for a trial with the Archangels. Why did they always go out of their way to make my hatred towards them stronger? What’s worse is that I hadn’t seen him since he took off on Christmas day. I had no idea where his head was at and I missed him.

“He will be okay Tris”, Jaehwan added, “He will probably be reprimanded and get a warning”. “You don’t know them Jae. I mean I know you know them in a way that I don’t. But you don’t know the things they are capable of”. His head fell, “I do know. I had to watch two brothers suffer because of them”. “You still feel bad for Jisung?”, I was about to rage at him. “What? No… screw that bastard. It’s his fault that Dan and Ong suffered”, Jaehwan spat out harshly. “Ong? What happened to Ong?”, I asked. “So he never told you then”, he said with a realization, “Weren’t you curious about why he lashed out at Daniel like that?”.

“Well I just assumed it was because of their past and all the built up anger”, I said. “Come on Tris, you know Ong… do you think he’s capable of having built up anger towards Dan? He loved him more than anyone. He just lost it after hearing why Dan was upset at him for all this time. And if you knew the whole story, then you would know that Ong was completely justified in his actions”. “Tell me”, I urged. “It’s not my story to tell… that’s something that Ong has to tell you himself, because it’s too messed up”, Jaehwan looked pained from just thinking about it. “It’s about her… isn’t it?”, I asked. “She’s a part of it… yes”, he said, “A harsh part of it”.

“You know I spend so much time with Seongwoo but when I hear things like this, it feels like I don’t even know him”, I went on, “What’s the point of an angel being able to heal their pain if it’s only externally?”. “Well if one of your gifts is ever internal healing, I’m booking my place first in line”, he smiled sadly. “You know you’re pretty amazing right”. He looked at me baffled, “Me?”. “Yeah you… most guys would hate the guy who
