An angel? I must be in Heaven.

Right in front of me was a young male, standing ever so gracefully like a model straight out of a catalog. His lips moved but the words he spoke had fallen deaf on my ears as I greedily drank in his appearance.

The beautiful angel had dark hair that flowed gently with the wind, covering his eyes slightly, giving him that mysterious effect. His brows were nicely shaped with a slight arch while his pink lips curved into a cocky grin. His nose attractively thin and straight and his enchanting amber eyes bored into mine. When my eyes traveled down further, I realized his lack of clothing and immediately averted my eyes, turning to the side.

Why didn't he have a shirt on?!

"Good sir, please cover up! It's not appropriate for a lady to see such a thing!" I stuttered out. For a quick second, I managed to see a bare chest of someone physically a few years older than me and it was quite a sight. His skin was impeccably flawless and sparkled in the sunlight that it blinded me a bit. I must admit that I was a bit jealous of him but also grateful to see something so godly.

How can such a young boy make an old woman like me so flustered?! Wait a minute. I'm not old. I'm physically a 5 year old? I've always been that way.

I have the memories of my past life but it doesn't mean I'm going to continue counting off the age I had died before. Did my past age count in this life? I didn't know about it until 5 years after I was born...

Ugh! Still, I can't check out a minor! That's crazy! No matter how good looking he was with his flirtatious stare and his... gorgeous anime hair... kissable lips-

"Here I am waiting for you to thank your hero but you decided on criticizing their choice of clothing instead, how well mannered of you," He scoffs bitterly.

He saved me? Ah, right I forgot... I drowned.

Scrambling to my feet, I gave him a deep bow, making sure to hide my face, "I apologize for my rude behavior. Forgive me for I was surprised by your sudden appearance," My view was directed to the grass, too nervous to look into the eyes of the handsome boy, "Uhm.. and thank you... for saving me..." The beating of my heart began to race at an incredible speed when the sound of footsteps approached me. My body stills completely as I focus on them getting closer and closer. Two bare feet enter my line of view and immediately I frown in disbelief.

Even his feet are good looking...

He reaches out to takes my chin in between his fingers, lifting it until I was directly facing him. His knees bent so his eye level would be on the same as mine as his eyes narrowed directly into my own, making it was extremely difficult to look away. It was like two whirlpools sucking me in, it was the only thing I could think about until he laughs at me, "That's a look I've never seen on you before," I gulped when I finally noticed the proximity and couldn't help but blush... though something didn't sit right with me.

How did a 9 year old boy manage to save me from the river? Even if he was older than me, he would've been swept away with the current as well. And how did he even find me? Where did he even come from?

As if he were reading my thoughts, he raised a brow in surprise, "You don't even recognize me?" He feigns a pout, clutching his chest as if his heart was shattering, "I'm hurt, how could you forget me?" My brows furrowed at his words.

"Forget you?" I take a step away from him with the sudden reminder of him being an absolute stranger. The words escaped my lips without me noticing, "I don't even know you," The weird effects his looks had over my body had stopped when I began to get a hold of myself.
