You were unseen, staying low, in high school… You were a dork for Greek Mythology. Everyone made fun of you. Except for that, everything was normal.
Until one evening, tucked in bed, you heard a shatter of a vase coming from downstairs. It was midnight. You slowly escaped from your room and descended the stairs. Cautiously, you peeked from the corner of the wall. You saw your dad, scurrying to clean up the sharp mess. You widened your eyes in disbelief.
Your dad had wings. Cupid wings. And he was holding his slightly cut wing in pain.
His eyes moved to look at you. Knowing that the time has come, your dad called your mom and finally explained everything. You were a pure cupid. In order to protect your identity from the humans that forbid other cupids on Earth (your parents sought refuge there after a conflict of Sky Cupids, yes, there are different ranks of cupids), your parents took your hands and rushed out of the house, and flew with their wings, up into the starry night.
In a blink, your parents arrived in their royal manor on top of the clouds, and rushed to wake their charioteer to put you in a carriage and give you some academic uniforms, embroidered with 3 arrows and a heart in the middle, with the initials, ‘CA’.
Mom: “Wear this. We’ll tell you everything once you get into the academy.”
Without any more words, the charioteer rode off into the night with 4 pegasuses while I was stunned inside the carriage. As the night continued, I put on my uniform, closed the curtains, and fell asleep after. The next day, the charioteer woke me up and I opened the curtains, to reveal a grand, luxurious academy on the largest cloud in the light, tangerine sky..
“We’ve arrived. Welcome to Cupid Academy. The home of Sky and Heartling Cupids’ offspring.”
That's when I saw it: Wings, Arrows, Hearts. The academy's motto under its name.
The needs that embody a cupid. A TRUE cupid. But you're just in training. Once you entered the academy, all the eyes were on you, and as you suspected, they were all royal… like you, but you still didn’t know what type of cupid you were. And the populars, the girls, Wonyoung, Yujin, Gaeul, Liz, Rei and Leeseo, were staring at you, till they left the scene. Surviving on the clouds is better than this, right? Let’s pull ourselves together.
