Kangin sighed to himself as he hovered over the the glass table that reflected his true self. His moment was temporarily interrupted when four other angels entered his domain, with one particularly louder than the rest. He couldn't help but grimace at the familiar voice. 

"Youngwoon-ah! Are you hiding in here again?"

"How am I gonna hide if you keep finding me," Kangin gritted before taking a deep breathe to muster up enough strength to face them. He was met with Heechul's amused smirk, Hankyung's semi-apologetic face, Heekyung's innocent and (for some reason) excited smile, and Leeteuk's...warm gaze. Suddenly feeling his throat hitch, Kangin couldn't help but clear his throat and avert his gaze away from them once again. "What are you doing here?"

"We don't see each other for what, 2 eons? and all of a sudden I need a reason to visit you?"

"Heechul," Kangin warned. "I don't have time to play your games right now. I need to get ready for Donghae's arrival."

Heechul scoffed and took it upon himself to grab a seat while pulling Heekyung on his lap. "Do you really? We all know what's going to happen."

"It doesn't matter. He needs to know-"

"Kangin," Heechul cut him off causing the latter to look straight into his eyes. "He knows. It's not even a debate."

Heekyung blinked at the both of them before jumping off Heechul's lap, walking close to Kangin and said, "Uncle...just say what's on your mind."

"Leeteuk hates me."

Everyone was quiet for three seconds at Kangin's sudden outburst before Heechul broke it with his loud cackling. Kangin blushed and immediately covered his face with his hands while Hankyung giggled silently but did take Heekyung away from Kangin. 

"Heechul! Take your child somewhere else!"

Heechul faked a gasped before joining Hankyung and patting Heekyung's head. "Is that how you talk to heaven's savior?"

Kangin simply glared at him. "Once her power has settled, we'd know what she's truly capable of. You can't just bring her around like this causing ruckus for your amusement."

"What are you talking about?" Heechul pretended not to know what Kangin was talking about and did a high-five with his daughter. "It's not my daughter's fault that you are incapable of handling this issue by yourself."

"There is no issue," Kanging retaliated under his breath but did sneak a glance towards Leeteuk who was squirming a little where he stood. He sighed as he decided to shift his attention back at the glass table in front of him. 

"Heechul," Kangin froze hearing Leeteuk's voice. "I think we need that alone time now."

"W-Wh-What?" Kangin stuttered swiftly turning just in time to see Heechul and Hankyung walking out. "What's happening?"

"We're going to have a conversation," Leeteuk took a step closer but still maintained a good distance between them. "Just you and me."

*Flashback*

Kibum, Changmin and Junsu was finally able to return back on the field just as Donghae was getting off the ground with Eunhyuk in his arms. Junsu's eyes widened and gasped seeing his friend limp and unmoving in Donghae's arms. 

"Eunhyuk-ah..." Junsu ran up to him and looked him all over trying to see if there was anything he could do to help. His teary and worried eyes looked at Donghae, who simply kept his sad eyes down on Eunhyuk, before looking around towards the other angels. "W-What happened? Why...Why is he..." Junsu couldn't finish what he wanted to say as he started sobbing at the loss of his friend. 

Kangin used Junsu's reaction as an excuse to momentarily get away from Leeteuk. 

"Don't worry," Kangin said while placing an assuring hand on his shoulder. "We can bring him back."

"Bring him back?...How?"

"He bares the soul of humans now," Kangin explained but when he walked towards Donghae to get Eunhyuk form him, the latter simply turned away wanting to keep Eunhyuk in his arms. Kangin paused for a moment before letting him be for now. "Once we open the gates of heaven again, I can recreate his destiny and give him a do over. Since we can't undo what the demons have done to him the least I could do is give him a do over."

Changmin stepped closer to Junsu and wrapped his arms around him trying to give a small sense of comfort. "You mean...he's going to live again?"

Kangin nodded. "Here on earth...but I would need your help," Kangin looked towards Yesung who had already caught on to his plan. 

"I guess it can't be helped." Yesung agreed then looked at Ryeowook. "Are you ready to go home?"

Ryeowook simply smiled and nodded his head. "Home is wherever you are."

Yesung's eyes lit up before placing his arms around Ryeowook's shoulders and bringing him close. His eyes then went towards Eunhyuk's limp body and sighed. "I'm really going to miss this annoying brat though. But I suppose..." Yesung paused and looked to where Sungmin was sitting on the ground being helped by Kyuhyun. "I can leave him on your hands and not have to worry about anything."

Sungmin who was still whimpering at the loss of Eunhyuk looked up at Yesung then Kangin then back to Yesung again with slight confusion in his eyes. "What are you talking about? Can you bring him back to life?"

"Not exactly," Kangin answered. "I would need to open the gates of heaven and get the glass started again."

"How are you planning on doing that?" Kyuhyun asked skeptically. 

"Well...I'm sure the prophecy book would have something about it," Junsu suggested. He then patted himself down and frowned when he realized something. "I think I lost it in the car wreck." 

Junsu bit his lower lip while a few of the angels groaned. Donghae didn't care about any of them and simply focused his eyes on Hyukjae's face. If he stared at him long enough, he's almost able to trick himself that Hyukjae was just sleeping in his arms. 

"Appa, look!" Heekyung interrupted them all and pointed at a bright light behind them. When they all turned to look, everyone was surprised to see the stairs to heaven right there, just waiting for them to use. 

"What the-" Kangin was confused and astonished at the same time. 

"How?..." Heechul looked at Heekyung completely baffled as to how she knew what that was. She simply stared back at Heechul with an innocent smile. 

"Is that what you were looking for?"

"Heekyung, how did you know that?" Heechul asked while grabbing her out of Hankyung's arms. Heekyung shrugged her shoulders and simply said, "I just thought about it."

The angels all shared a look, perplexed as to what she meant by that. 

"What did you think about?" Leeteuk asked. 

"Uncle Kangin said it's what you needed so I just wished
