     "Let's head back," Sungkyu said as Infinite finished at the gym for the day. Some of the members had already left, though Haneul had stayed  since she wanted to go to a book store before going home. She reminded Sungkyu of this as he got ready to leave.

     "Oh yeah, anyone want to take her?" he asked, then mentally slapped himself when he realized the only members left were Hoya, Sungyeol, and L. He could have bet his life on who was about to answer.

     "I'll take her," Sungyeol offered, and Haneul smiled thankfully at him.

     Immediately, L stepped to her other side. "No need, I'll take her," he said.

     The two boys stared at each other for a moment, and Sungkyu shook his head in annoyance. "Forget it, both of you are coming with me," he told them, "Hoya, you take her."

     "But–" They both tried to object, but there was no way Sungkyu was about to let them fight over something as trivial as walking to the store. He shook his head, and their egos were effectively deflated as they reluctantly followed their leader out.

     Hoya's face fell. "Why me?"

     Sungkyu's response could barely be heard as he exited through the door without pause. "Just do it."

     Hoya gave Haneul a look as he stuck his hands into his pockets. "Whatever, come on."

 

     The bookstore was the opposite direction from home, and by the time they had reached it Hoya felt like he had already wasted enough time. "Just get what you came for already," he hurried Haneul along, looking disinterestedly over the nearest table of bestselling titles.

     Just as Haneul walked down one isle, a flash of platinum blond in the corner of Hoya's eye drew his attention to the other side of the store where a boy stepped out from behind a nearby shelf. A familiar looking bandana hung from his pocket, and in his left hand he held a book which he returned to the shelf before making his way out, not even giving Hoya a glance as he walked by. Although it wasn't a face he recognized, Hoya was sure the boy had to be with BAP, for the bandana in his pocket was unmistakably the same as those worn by the others.

     "This place is wonderful," he heard Haneul comment happily.

     He found the angel gaping at the overflowing shelves of books containing countless stories and information on every topic imaginable. It was a small shop, so it didn't take long before Haneul had found the language section near the back. There were so many different versions of the same thing that she wondered how she was supposed to find the best one, and she settled upon whatever was prettiest. Picking up one of the many dictionaries, one with sturdy binding and a colorful cover, Haneul peeked inside its pages and saw that it was filled with pictures. The illustrations made it much easier to understand what the words meant, and Haneul knew she had found just the right book for her.

     "I want this one," she said, and Hoya raised an eyebrow as he gave the book a quick glance.

     "Really? You know that's for kids, right?"

     Haneul nodded confidently, "It will do just fine."

     Holding her head high with dignity and clutching the children's dictionary in the crook of her arm like it was a scholarly textbook, Haneul turned to walk towards the checkout. But before she had even walked two steps, Hoya snatched the book out of her hold, rolling his eyes as he stuffed it inside his jacket.

     "If you're done here, let's go," he said, already walking towards the entrance, and Haneul hurried to catch up with him.

     Just as they were about to leave the st

Chapter 37: Found this gem by chance, and I am so happy that I did. Literally had my mouth open in amazement the whole time I was reading this. The plot is like Romeo and Juliet with a bit of His Dark Materials (the whole aspect of 'sin') and even some Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Oh, this was just wonderful. And I suddenly just remembered that this is also like the 'Fallen' series by Tom Sniegoski. Keep up the good work, Author-nim :)

Chapter 37: It was really really good! I'm so surprise by the end though .. I just can't belive something like that happend to her. I'm glad everythings seems alright at the end. I will definatly read the prequel! (I'm the type a reader who read only when the fiction is over so don't take it wrong if I didn't comment).
I really like your way of writting. Your despcrition and vocabularyare perfect! The plot is really interesing and different from what we are use to read. That's why I think your story is a masterpiece haha.
I have a question .. where did she put her wings when she go outside ? While I read I always have this question in my head xD
I hope you will made another story with Myungsoo on the main caracter.

Chapter 37: Chinguuuuu~~~! I feel like I haven't talked to you in over a year!! (Of course I do, didn't you finish your last story over a year ago? :p) I'm not sure if I ever commented on this story, but I really had no time to comment on every chapter like I did with your previous story. School hates me.
Ok, first thing's first: the characters. Have I mentioned how much I love you for using Infinite (especially Myungsoo) as the main? No? Well, I really really really love you right now! I can't think of any group that would be more perfect for the role. Honestly, I'm not happy that BAP were evil, or that Youngjae died (since he was actually good in the end), but again, can't think of a better group for the role.
Second, the plot line. Again, have I mentioned how much I love your plots? Again, no? Well, let's just add two more reallys to the I love you! I love how the story just flowed smoothly and there was character development! Wow, you really know how to write a story! And I love everything from the simple chapter titles to the ending!
Lastly, my final rating for this story. Of course, it's another 20 out of 5 stars! You've earned it! Now, I'm going to subscribe to the prequel! Saranghae chingu~!
