“You have until sunset to decide. I bid you for now!” Changmin said and with a blink of an eye, the two were gone.

The room fell into a gloomy silence as the sounds they heard were the labored breaths of the cherub and reaper. The two were on the bed, contrasting black and white but in peaceful unity.

“This cannot happen.” Heechul said but Leeteuk stopped him.

“We both know that we can’t risk this one.” Leeteuk talked to him but Heechul furrowed his brows and looked at the archangel in disgust.

“Is your position more important than your own son?” Heechul asked and Leeteuk did not respond. “You are one greedy parent Leeteuk. You care for your title when your own blood and flesh is dying.” Heechul added.
