19: Wishes and Wickedness

Gaston's triumphant expression faltered as everyone turned toward the front door, wondering who could possibly be next. Y/n, who was still near the door, hesitated before reaching for the handle. "Please let this be something normal," she muttered to herself as she cautiously opened the door.

Standing on the other side was a small, hunched-over old woman wearing a tattered black cloak. Her gnarled hands clutched a wicker basket filled with shiny red apples, and she smiled up at Y/n with a toothy grin.

"Why, hello there, dearie," the old woman croaked, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "Would you care for a delicious, juicy apple?"

Y/n blinked at the sight of the woman, her mouth opening and closing in stunned silence. "You've got to be kidding me," she finally managed to say.

Gaston, who had followed Y/n to the door, sneered at the old woman. "Who are you, and what do you want? Can't you see I'm in the middle of becoming the most powerful man in the world?"

The old woman's smile widened, revealing even more of her crooked, yellowing teeth. "Oh, I'm just a humble peddler, offering my wares to anyone in need of a little... pick-me-up." She held up one of the apples, its shiny red surface gleaming in the morning light. "Just one bite, and all your troubles will melt away."

Jungkook, who had been listening from the kitchen, poked his head out and gasped. "Wait a minute... is that the Evil Queen?"

"The who now?" Hoseok asked, joining the growing crowd by the door.

"The Evil Queen!" Jungkook repeated, his eyes wide with recognition. "From Snow White! That's her in disguise as the old peddler woman!"

"Oh, great," Y/n groaned, rubbing her temples. "First Gaston, now the Evil Queen. What's next, the Wicked Witch of the West?"

As if on cue, a gust of wind swept through the room, and the lights flickered ominously. The group looked around in confusion and alarm, and then, with a burst of green smoke, a tall, menacing figure appeared in the middle of the living room.

"I knew it," Yoongi deadpanned as the smoke cleared to reveal the Wicked Witch herself, cackling wickedly as she took in her surroundings.

"Well, well, well," the Wicked Witch sneered, her voice dripping with malice. "What a charming little gathering we have here. I do hope I'm not too late for the party."

"Seriously?!" Y/n exclaimed, throwing her hands up in exasperation. "This is getting ridiculous! Why do all these villains keep showing up at our house when we think of them?"

"I'd say it's because of that cursed TV," Namjoon muttered, glaring at the now-empty screen where the Magic Mirror had been. "It's like a beacon for trouble."

Gaston, who had been eyeing the Wicked Witch with a mixture of confusion and disgust, finally spoke up. "I don't know who you are, old crone, but you'd better not get in my way. I'm about to become the strongest man in the world!"

The Wicked Witch raised an eyebrow, her expression unimpressed. "Oh, is that so? And how do you plan to do that, musclehead?"

"With the Magic Mirror's help!" Gaston declared, puffing out his chest as he pointed to the TV. "I've already made my wish, and soon I'll have the strength of a hundred men!"

The Wicked Witch cackled again, this time even louder. "Fool! Do you really think the Magic Mirror will grant you such power without exacting a heavy price? You're more naive than I thought!"

Gaston's confidence faltered slightly, and he glanced back at the TV, his expression turning uncertain. "What do you mean, a 'heavy price'?"

The Wicked Witch's eyes gleamed with malice as she leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a sinister whisper. "The Magic Mirror grants wishes, yes... but it always comes with a cost. A cost that you might not be prepared to pay."
