"Look, I bought the weird genie bottle from an old woman because she said she needed money— don't you dare comment on it —and it turns out it's real. What the hell do I do?" Y/N whisper-yelled to their friend over the phone. They were fully aware the genie they accidentally in the other room was awkwardly standing there, so they opted to not make it worse than it already was.

"...How do I even respond to that?" Jisoo seemed just as clueless as Y/N was. "Um, maybe just tell him it's a mistake. You didn't mean to summon him and he can just go back home."

"But Jisoo," Y/N whined, "That's so awkward... What should I even say in that situation? 'I wish for you to go back in your bottle?' That's so WEIRD!" Y/N cried animatedly, now forgetting the genie could hear them. "Jisoo, please! Should I just wish for three things and get it over with?"

"But don't genies always twist the wish? What if you die or something..."

"JISOO THAT'S NOT HELPING!"

"Sorry! If you don't want to just go with my original plan, which I'm sure would work," Y/N could hear the sass in Jisoo's voice and rolled their eyes, "Wish for him to be your friend."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. Just wish for him to be human so he can be your friend. It's a win-win, you'll both end up with a friend. I'm sure he's lonely as a genie," Jisoo chuckled.

"Okay...It's worth a shot... I guess I do need a friend anyway." Y/N reached for the 'End Call' button, but didn't click it. "Thanks Jisoo, you're the best!" And with that, the other end went silent.

But little did Y/N know, Jisoo was joking.

As Y/N turned around, they stiffened seeing the genie looking at them with a bewildered expression. "You... Want me to be your friend? That's what you really want?"

Silence.

The genie stood, not really expecting an answer. The whole ordeal was stiff and Y/N could tell that it was getting slightly uncomfortable.

"...Yes. Um," Y/N started, now feeling quite silly. Their face burned red. From the corner of Y/N's eye, they could see the genie shaking his head. "I... I'm a little lonely..." They trailed off, unsure if the excuse is plausible. Y/N really didn't feel like explaining the whole thing to the genie. Suddenly, Y/N could no longer see the genie. Did he leave?
