"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'll be your God tonight."
The man giggles, breathless and out of it, and sinks into the coach next to Hyukjae.
"I've always wanted to talk to God."

"Well, now's your lucky chance."
"Heechul-hyung said not to talk to strangers at parties, but I think it's okay if it's God. Right?"
He flops over, his head landing in Hyukjae'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's about to get up to find a new one, but hears a whine from his lap, and stills.
Right, there'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'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?"

"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's warm where they fall onto Hyukjae's pants.
"Uhhhhhh..." Hyukjae's tongue feels like lead in his mouth.

"Uhhhhhh..." Hyukjae'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'm sorry."
The man screws his eyes shut and lets out a quiet sob. He rolls onto his side, and clutches Hyukjae. Soon, he's sound asleep, lashes still wet with tears.

Hyukjae uses his sleeve to wipe the man's tear-streaked face
He doesn't have the heart to move the man. Eventually, he falls asleep too
Hyukjae dreams he reunites him with his dad. There's tears and hugs and laughter
The man turns and hugs him, whispers a thank you
It's warm
