Sun was startled by Felix's sudden appearance and clutched the broom.
"Ah! Nothing! Nothing! Just… talking to myself!" he stammered in panic.
Felix looked at him skeptically and then started removing the sheets covering the furniture. Sun blinked in shock. He couldn't believe the laziest, most unruly angel was actually willing to help.
"I heard every single insult you've thrown at me!" Felix said, disappointment in his voice. Sun could only smile awkwardly.
"Ah, I'm just kidding… hehe! By the way, why are you helping me all of a sudden?" Sun asked, curious.
"I want to be an idol," Felix replied, voice full of determination.
Sun frowned. "And… what does that have to do with this?"
"My struggle for my biography in the future! How I helped a mere mortal clean the house when we were 'so poor,'" Felix said proudly.
Sun felt like hitting him with the broom but wisely restrained himself. After all, it wouldn't end well.
In reality, they weren't poor. Sun's family owned a company that could easily support them. Rain worked as a model, earning enough for a luxurious lifestyle, and all three angels received allowances from Heaven.
"Why the hell did Great…great-grandfather decide to… do that with Great…great-grandmother?!" Sun wailed quietly, hugging the broom.

A couple of weeks ago…
Sun, Rain, Key, and Felix were in the study room of Sun's father, waiting for him to arrive. Rain frowned, Key wandered in the room, and Felix was peacefully asleep on a chair. Sun felt like fainting.
"Please save me! Dad's going to kill me!" he cried to the three angels, who pretended not to hear him.
"You reap what you sow," Rain muttered under his breath, scrolling on his phone.
"But! It was Key's idea to come to the school pretending to be my older brother!" Sun protested.
Key turned sharply and crossed his arms, glaring at Sun. "Excuse me, ungrateful bastard! I was just trying to help! Who knew your dad would show up at the school?! Dare to blame me, and I'll curse you to death!"
"Key!" Rain glared, and Key pouted, feeling unfairly treated.
Sun had taken Key along to meet the principal, but unfortunately, Mr. Seatang and Rain arrived at the office minutes later. Sun's father was disappointed to learn that Sun had involved their "benefactors."
When Mr. Seatang entered the room, he glared at Sun, who nervously looked at the floor. "I can't believe you got into trouble with the principal… and dragged our benefactors into it!"
"But dad, I swear, I didn't mean it! I was a victim!" Sun protested, making Mr. Seatang rub his forehead in frustration.
It had all started on the last day of high school nearby. Sun had seen some kids vandalizing a car. Curious, he approached, and one of the boys handed him a baseball bat before running away.
Turning around, Sun found the guards scowling at him, dragging him to the principal's office. Later, he learned the car belonged to the principal, and suddenly he was considered the culprit.
"Then why didn't you tell me?! Why did you take him to that school?!" Mr. Seatang shouted, pointing at the angels.
"I… I was scared?" Sun stammered, too freaked out to think straight before rushing to the angels' house to beg for help.
"100 bucks, he's going to be spanked again," Key whispered to Rain, who glared sharply at him. Key moved away from Rain and settled next to Felix.
"I'm really sorry for this useless son of mine! He's caused you all trouble!" Mr. Seatang apologized to the angels. Rain nodded, Felix didn't care, and Key grinned. "It's okay! He said he'll pay us," Key said cheerfully.
Hearing this, Mr. Seatang smacked Sun on the head. "How dare you bribe an angel?! Don't ever do that again!"
"Dadd!" Sun cried, rubbing his head.
"Hit him harder! Crack that empty head!" Key suddenly cheered, making everyone stare awkwardly.
"Can you shut up once?" Rain growled. Key pretended to zip his mouth, and Rain nodded in satisfaction before turning to Mr. Seatang. "Please, continue."
Mr. Seatang took a deep breath. "I've decided! you're going to study abroad."
"Good! Kick him out! He only gets into trouble anyway," Key whispered excitedly. Sun turned pale, realizing how much his dad adored these angels.
"That's a small reason to send him away. What about logic?" Felix, who had been napping moments ago, spoke up.
Sun glanced at Felix in admiration; he was the only one speaking in his favor. Key looked confused. "Huh? Why are you supporting him?"
"Did you forget? We signed a contract making him our slave for two months. How can we let him go?" Felix replied slyly, eyes glinting like a predator.
"Dad! I'm ready! When do I pack?!" Sun shouted in panic.
Last time, being their "slave" had meant cooking, cleaning, and running errands. Rain changed clothes three times a day, Felix was picky about food, and Key… well, Key was a devil in disguise.
"That's not a sudden decision; we all go with him," Rain added. Mr. Seatang nodded.
"Wait! When did we agree to that?!" Key exclaimed.
"Just now. Start packing," Rain ordered calmly.
"Not going!" Felix protested. Sun inwardly cheered—he had no intention of going with these overbearing angels.
"We'll revolt! You can't force us!" Key raised his hand.
"Go alone! We won't follow!" Felix added.
Mr. Seatang looked worried as the two refused. Rain stood, walked to the center of the room, and cleared his throat.
"Whoever comes with me, start packing. Whoever refuses…" He glared at Felix and Key. "I'm selling the house. Earn your own money. Manage your living."
Both Key and Felix turned pale. They were used to Heaven's provisions and the luxury Rain provided: branded clothes, gourmet meals, cars, and the best of everything.
Hesitating, they glanced at each other nervously. Rain smirked and added, "I'm canceling your Netflix subscriptions and freezing your cards. Pay your own bills."
Both immediately jumped up. "Felix! Let's pack! A new country is calling us!"
Felix nodded aggressively, and both rushed off.
Sun looked after them in disappointment before turning to his dad and Rain.
"Aren't you going to pack?" Rain asked calmly. Sun sulked and nodded, heading out quickly.
Once only Rain and Mr. Seatang remained, Rain sank into a chair with a sigh. Mr. Seatang patted him gently.
"Do you really have to leave?" he asked, concern etched on his face.
