"Kim Iwol." Someone, a classmate presumably, tapped Kim Iwol's shoulder repeatedly. Honestly, it was the first time in a long time since someone actually initiated conversation with him besides a few others, but the conspiratorial way in which they spoke confused him enough to acknowledge the call. "Oh, you can respond." He blinked, "anyways, did you know that if you open your arms to the sky- Like this- and say a wish out loud, then it comes true?" Kim Iwol was not naive. He knew very well this was just a tactic to intimidate or bully him, or even to get a reaction out of him. He sure as hell was not going to respond at all- "Hey, do it. I don't know, wish for a partner or something. You're always so alone, shouldn't you get a girlfriend with that face?"
No, why is this even happening, what twisted logic drove them to double-down on their own idea? If they wanted Iwol himself to get a girlfriend, shouldn't they themselves raise their arms and solemnly shout that they need someone who'd date him? He's not in a particular rush to find someone, anyways. He felt his eyebrow twitching, repeatedly, and at the thirtieth elbow to his side, he frowned, and at the fiftieth when he realised that he had no way out, he sighed.
He raised his arms, closed his eyes before he could look around and whispered. "I- I wish for a partner.."
"That isn't loud enough, Iwol-ah." Hey, when did he get so casual?
Anyways, he cleared his throat needlessly, face flushing with a heat he'd never felt before. "I wish for a partner!"
Seo Hoyun was technically an angel. Technically because at the moment he was being scolded for breaking the Angel Code of Conduct for another time. Obviously, he intended to break the rules again, since what else would he do when everything was so boring. He could go on a whole tangent on what could improve the Quality of Life for an angel like himself, but no, whoever the creator is and was just had to also be self-serving and prideful enough to think it was all perfect.
When he peeked up at the highest ranked angel there, he glimpsed a strange expression on their face that made him inexplicably nervous. Yeah, angels felt nervous, so what?
"Angel 1463784, we have a mission for you." They suddenly spoke, and Hoyun knows with every bone that it's either a unique job or just a nothing burger. They just wanted to get rid of him- but he doesn't really have a choice, because either way, before he can respond he's flung by an invisible force and free falling to Earth. He would be spinning in the air and panicking had he not already experienced what it was like to fall like this, but as civilisation grew closer and his wings shrunk to what would probably be enough to live with humans, his body lost control of itself.
Angel 1463784 only knew that his impact to the ground was prevented, only because he fell into the arms of a human. Yeah, his mission was just something pointless.
"U- Ah." Kim Iwol's classmate only stuttered at the sudden appearance of what could only be described as someone beautiful, falling into Iwol's arms. Yeah, he didn't expect it himself, and the strange sense of vindication in Iwol grew slightly seeing just how much a simple and supposedly easy plan for them failed.
He wished for a partner, that was true, so why did he get an angel specifically. He pressed his lips together, fingers involuntarily touching the feathers and wings remaining mostly hidden at the angel's back, and when they flinched and folded further, he retracted his own hands from there and shifted to set down the man.
"My wish came true..?" He tilted his head, turning to the classmate, who then flushed red and dashed away.
