𝑻𝒉𝒆 angel paced nervously through his room, biting his lips while caressing his wings in a attempt of getting his mind in place. he hadn't seem yeonjun in a while and he was partly okay with that, since he was trying to respect the older's time and pain he himself caused, but soobin knew what day it was and he couldn't possibly ignore it.

the black haired wanted to comfort the king, stay beside him, and most definitely do something for queen mira's death. it wasn't like he felt he needed to, but more like he wanted to. yeonjun was the most important person to him and he knew how much the male loved his mother, so he wanted to do something for the woman, even if just vising her grave.

the problem was, he didn't know where mira was buried and so, was trapped in his room while anxiously trying to find what he could do before going to hell to see yeonjun. it was nerve wracking if he was being honest, soobin wanted to meet the woman, tell her how much he was sorry for hurting her son and how he cared about him, but it would never be possible if he didn't discover where she was buried. that is, if she was even buried instead of cremated.

the angel halted his steps, slightly jumping in place when getting surprised by the knock on the door. he let his arms fall on his sides, finally releasing the crimson crystal of his necklace that he had been nervously playing with, and going to the door. he wasn't expecting the person knocking to be the woman standing outside though.

"princess dahyun? why are you here?" the girl smiled awkwardly, tucking a strand of her dark hair behind her ear.

"hey soobin, me and yunho were planning on having a sleepover in kook's room and i wanted to invite you. i know it's kinda weird between us right now but i think it would be fun if we got time to know each other, that and the fact we finally managed to convince kook after not having a sleepover in a long time because he's too busy." dahyun smiled gently while having a expectant look on her eyes. talking with soobin was weird after they discovered to be siblings, but she wanted to change that. truth was, she loved her brothers with all her heart, and finding out she had another one was more exciting than weird in her eyes.

"that sounds fun, but i'm going to hell today." the male smiled apologetically. he really thought it could be fun, and a good opportunity to maybe get closer to his siblings, but there was no way he wouldn't go see yeonjun, so the only possible answer was declining the invitation. "i'm sorry."

"don't be, it's fine. you can go next time." dahyun smiled, a gentle look on her face. "i will get going then, see you later." she waved her hand, turning around and leaving through the corridor. soobin stared at her for a moment, but before he could move to close the door, hoseok appeared, sending him a smile while walking in his direction, a clear sign he wanted to talk.

"hey, soobin. i was going to ask if you're going to hell today, because of the date." it wasn't a lot of people that remembered queen mira's death day, mostly only hell and people who had somehow a closer relationship with the castle. it was hard to remember it after so many years.

"yeah, i will." the angel stepped to the side, silently inviting the crystalian inside, and closed the door after he entered. "can i ask you something?"

"of course." the older smiled, his heart shaped lips displaying a kind and bright smile that managed to calm soobin down.

"do you know where queen mira's grave is?" hoseok pressed his lips in a line, a face that made the answer clear to soobin. he didn't.

"only the hell's royal family knows, bin. sorry for not being of help." the crystalian smiled apologetically and reached for his pocket. "oh here, i remember you saying king daniel likes raspberries, so i picked some of our garden. can you please give it to him in my and yoongi's behalf? it's not much, but it's the only way of giving my condolences, and since hell can't grow them, i thought it would be nice. i hope princess ruby likes raspberries too, though."

"i'm sure she does, her and daniel are so similar i wouldn't doubt they like the same fruits. but don't worry, i will give it to him. it's really sweet of you, hobi. thank you." soobin grabbed the glass full of raspberries and smiled to the older. he was grateful for the male's kindness, it somehow meant a lot to him.

"why do you asked about the queen's grave? you plan on visiting her? that's nice." hoseok smiled, pushing his worry for the angel to the back of his mind. soobin suffered a lot when apart from the king, but the crystalian wasn't sure if being together helped much, not when soobin seemed so worried and stressed all the time.

"yeah, i wanted to do something for her, but i don't know what. nothing seems good enough." the older hummed, nodding his head, and turned to the prince.

"i don't think much is necessary, just visiting her it's already a lot considering you never met her. it's commonly known she liked flowers, so you could bring some when going to her grave. the king will certainly tell where she's buried if you ask."

"it seems so little, though." soobin looked at his hands, playing with the hem of his skirt gently. "danny loves her so much, you should see how he looks when talking about her. i wanted to show that i care for her too since she's an important part of him."

"you just need to be there, soobin. being beside him when he needs is enough." the older grabbed the other's hands, holding them gently while using his thumbs to caress the skin. "just hold him when he needs, talk to him when he gets lost in his head and love him even when he breaks."

"l-love him?"

"of course! that's what i do with yoongi when he feels bad. if he hurts, i hurt. if he cries, i cry. he's my home and i'm his. when we're there for each other, picking our pieces that somehow felt along the way, holding each other when everything feels too much and being each other's safe place, that's when i know he's the right one and that he loves me just like i love him. it's a little scary sometimes, a little painful, but loving him is still the best thing in the world." hoseok squeezed the angel's hands, a soft smile on his lips as his eyes shined when talking about the reaper. "you don't need too many big things to show king daniel how much you care about him. just be yourself and stay beside him, that's what he does isn't it? he even talked to your mother to let you go to hell freely."

"y-yeah."

"you were so sad when you two fought, now that you made up, don't let him go, okay? being away from someone you love so dearly always hurts. you don't get new scars, you lose a piece of you heart, am i right? me and yoongi are the same, we are the happiest with each other, even if still being able to be happy apart. we just feel at home with each other, the safest." the crystalian got up, patting the black haired on the head softly. "i have to go now. don't worry, my prince. if king daniel loves you, then doesn't matter what happens, just having you there is enough."

soobin was left frozen in place, not even hearing when the crystalian closed the door after leaving. of course, hoseok didn't know anything about why soobin and yeonjun broke up, even less that he rejected the male when he told he loved him, so it was understandable that he assumed the angel loved the king too. the black haired just didn't know what to think about his words. being each other's home? holding the other when everything feels too much? it didn't seem like the love soobin knew, at all.

it did, though, seem like what he felt for yeonjun.

soobin was as confused as ever. first kai, and now hoseok talking about love as if it was the best thing in the world, as if it was as beautiful as a flower and as strong as a kyzelion crystal. yeonjun said he loved the angel, he said he loved him when staring gently in his eyes, when smiling warmly at him, when caressing his cheeks and taking care of him as if he was the most precious thing. yeonjun said he loved soobin, but he never yelled at him, never blamed him for anything, never hurt him or treated him a a toy.

if yeonjun did all that and said to love him, then what did victor felt? what about what he did and said? which one was love? soobin didn't know.
