”You gave me my soul back….and now, I give it to you.”

Those, were Jinu’s last words before he disintegrated and his soul floated to a sad, yet determined Rumi. This was the end of his story. Or was it? ——————————————————

Black. That was all he saw. Till his eyes began to feel itchy. How is he even feeling something? Jinu found himself opening his eyes slowly, his vision blurry still adjusting to the sudden bright light that seems to envelop the whole exterior. That was, until something covered the light, blocking it, a good thing for his burning eyes.

His vision adjusted and it seem like the “something” was actually…someone. Jinu sees a face, hovering just on top of him. He was confused, really confused, so he only furrowed his eyebrows a bit for a moment. Then his eyes widen and he sat up quickly, only not bumping on the person cuz they got away first.

“Huh?! Where am I?!” He says startled, his mind finally starting to work. “Who are you?!” He says defensively and tries using his powers but…nothing. Confusedly he looks at his arms. Wait, where are his patterns? And…what happened to his clothes?! Wasn’t he just on a stage?? No, wasn’t he supposed to be dead?!

His mind was swirling and his breath was heavy, till seemed to quiet down interrupted by a giggle. He looked back at the person in front of him, the face he saw…and then it happened. Wings spread behind their back. His eyes widen. He’s not sure if he’s supposed to be afraid, but currently, he’s in awe.

“Welcome to heaven, Jinu!” A cheerful tone come out of the person’s mouth.

Did they just say…’heaven’?
