summary Jinki just needs something to keep him believing.
notes For shineeworld @ drabble challenge 30: I don't believe in angels. Sort of a variation of this.
disclaimer Only the plot is mine.


Jinki has always had this fascination with magical creatures. He remembers reading about them when he was in fourth grade in his quest for something new to learn. He's been told by his mother not to read about those kinds of things because, "They're not real, Jinki!" But he never listens, so he hangs out at churches everyday in the hope of proving the truth behind his faith. On the day he thinks of giving up on God and angels, he bumps into someone.

"Oh sorry!" the person says as bows apologetically after picking himself up - he glows. Jinki peeks from his bangs shyly, gulping down whatever retort he was about to say before met this man in the eye. But then nervousness gets the better of him and he blurts it out, unceremonious and raw - "ImsorryitsmyfaultIllneverdoitagainI-"

"Taemin. Lee Taemin," the person says in between chuckles and extends his hands to Jinki, eyes almost saying, 'It's alright. It's my fault, too.' So Jinki takes the hand, shakes it, doesn't let go until ten seconds later. "Lee Jinki. And it's really my fault." He hears church bells ringing when Taemin laughs.

This is the single proof of faith he needs.
