Seven Wishes | Jeon Wonwoo

Chapter 03

"Okay, well, I think I'm gonna wish that." Yeoreum finally said after thinking so hard for quite a while.

"And that is?"

"I wish for Kim Mingyu to notice me." She wished calmly while smiling warmly. He nodded and didn't even make something that shows her he just granted the wish.

"Are you done?"

"Yep."

"But nothing happened?"

"I told you, I don't control anything that happens before and after granting your wish." He gave her the 'duh' look.

"You're actually just a con, right? No wonder why I was doubting to actually believe you. Right, no genie exists. That's so embarrassing. Are you fooling me?" She squinted her eyes as she crossed both her arms together, giving him a skeptical look.

"I am really a genie."

"Then why didn't you like at least snap your fingers or do some movement as you grant my wish? You're just standing there with hands in your pocket looking like a depressed grim reaper." She riposted.

"But this is what we genie normally wears."

"For real, I just granted you your wish. Usually the wish will work in an instant. I don't know what happened. But I can feel that the wish is indeed, perfectly working." He stated, bored of the conversation.

'Perfectly working?' She thought.

Yeoreum squinted her eyes again looking at him. She just shrugged it off and went down from the rooftop.

"I've made my first wish. Why haven't Kim Mingyu notices me? And most of all, where is him? I didn't even see a glimpse of him. He's probably just a jerk, right? Or he could actually be a pervert. But judging by how he dressed himself, he really look like a grim reaper. Geez." She shivered, shaking the negative thoughts away.

Yeoreum continued walking when suddenly she heard footsteps, she turned behind and it is indeed Mingyu, he's running to her direction until she realized that he bumped to her and that he's on top of her right now.

Her eyes widened as her cheeks are burning because of embarrassment.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" He shouted.

He offered his hand to help her. It took Yeoreum a few seconds to process everything happening and to actually let him help her to stand up.

"Are you hurt?" He questioned anxiously. Yeoreum's body stiffened by the fact that he's talking to her and that he finally noticed her.

'He is also looking at me now! Is the wish really working?' Is what she had in her mind.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied with a slight smile.

"Gosh, I'm such a klutz. Serious though, I'm so sorry. I was in a rush." He stated, she can see how he felt very guilty by seeing his face expression.

"No, it's okay." She gave him a convincing smile.

"So, your name is Kang.. Yeoreum." He said as he read her nametag.

"Hey, I realized that you're Myeongho's classmate." He said as his face brightened while pointing his finger to her. Yeoreum can only smile as she nodded her head.

"That's weird. Why do I feel like I only knew you today?" He asked himself as he wrinkled his forehead.

'Oh, easy. It's probably because you never noticed me existed and that I used a wish to make you do so.' She thought again.

"We never talk to each other though."

"Oh ya, true.. I think I should start to be more friendlier from now on." He smiled.
