"Are you God?"

Hyukjae looks up and spots a man wobbling on his feet. He snorts and lifts his beer in cheers.

"Sure, why not. I& #39;ll be your God tonight."

The man giggles, breathless and out of it, and sinks into the coach next to Hyukjae.

"I& #39;ve always wanted to talk to God."
"Well, now& #39;s your lucky chance."

"Heechul-hyung said not to talk to strangers at parties, but I think it& #39;s okay if it& #39;s God. Right?"

He flops over, his head landing in Hyukjae& #39;s lap, and gives a drunken smile. This close, Hyukjae realizes the stranger is quite handsome.
Hyukjae takes a sip of his drink and wishes it was colder. He& #39;s about to get up to find a new one, but hears a whine from his lap, and stills.

Right, there& #39;s an attractive man in my lap, Hyukjae thinks to himself. Better not jostle him. Wait, how exactly did this happen again?
"Can I ask for just one thing, God? Just one small thing? Pretty pleeeease?"

Hyukjae nods unsteadily. "Only cuz I& #39;m in a good mood. Shoot."

The man bites his lips and hesitates, looking unsure of himself.

"Can you bring back my dad? I miss him a lot. Even just for one day?"
Hyukjae freezes and blanks for a moment.

"You took him from me too early."

The man looks so stricken as tears suddenly pool in his eyes and rolls over his cheeks. It& #39;s warm where they fall onto Hyukjae& #39;s pants.

"Uhhhhhh..." Hyukjae& #39;s tongue feels like lead in his mouth.
"I still need him."

Hyukjae looks down at the man crying and his heart twists at the sight.

"Please."

"I... I& #39;m sorry."

The man screws his eyes shut and lets out a quiet sob. He rolls onto his side, and clutches Hyukjae. Soon, he& #39;s sound asleep, lashes still wet with tears.
Hyukjae uses his sleeve to wipe the man& #39;s tear-streaked face

He doesn& #39;t have the heart to move the man. Eventually, he falls asleep too

Hyukjae dreams he reunites him with his dad. There& #39;s tears and hugs and laughter

The man turns and hugs him, whispers a thank you

It& #39;s warm
