Eugene

"So, that's Jimin." Taehyung mentioned.

"Yep." I nodded. "Sorry I called. I didn't even mean to." I apologized, giggling.

"That's ok." He smiled. "He doesn't exactly suit you. You seem too mature for him."

"I guess I am, but we're not a couple anymore so it doesn't matter. We decided to just stay friends." I told him.

"Just be careful."

"I will. Don't worry, he won't try anything with me." I assured an over-protective Taehyung. He didn't seem too convinced. "Taehyung, seriously. I can handle myself."

"If he tries anything, just give me a call. I don't care where you are. I am here to protect you, whether you make a wish or not. Since earlier today, I can't stand to see you hurt. That plane filled me with a fear of losing you." He explained. My heart fluttered, knowing that he wanted to be there for me and that he cared for me.

"Thank you. I appreciate it a lot. You're pretty cool, you know that." I raised my elbow to nudge him, but quickly placed it down, remembering that it would probably go through him. He looked down at me and smiled his signature, bright smile.

"You give me butterflies, Chen Eugene." He said sarcastically.

"As do you, Kim Taehyung." I spoke in the same voice. The only difference being how we both meant it. We walked in silence to Hana's house. I assumed she was home, because she doesn't usually go anywhere after school. "I'll talk to you later. This is Hana's place." I gestured in front of me.

"I'll see you soon. Be safe." He turned into the foggy mist and disappeared. I knocked on Hana's door, and was greeted by her mother.

"Eugene! What a surprise. I thought I was never going to see you again." She brought me into a tight hug and I hugged back. "I would like to apologize on behalf of my daughter for not acting like a good friend. She is... a turd."

"That's why I'm here. I would like to speak to her about the situation. I have forgiven her and would like to continue being friends." I explained.

"Well, that's wonderful! Hana isn't at home though. I think she went to Seokjin's house."

"Thank you. Annyeong." I bowed with a large smile on my face, then turned to leave. I went to Jin's house and walked to the backyard. I made my way to my pile of pebbles, and started throwing them at his window. He opened the window with a smirk on his face, already knowing it was me.

"Door's open. Come in." I went to the front and let myself in the house, going upstairs to his bedroom.

"Hey! How was Japan?" Jin rushed up to me as I entered. I looked behind him slightly and saw Hana sitting on his bed shyly. I sent her a warm smile, letting her know that I was friendly.

"It was really good! I thought about a lot while I was up there, and I realised that life is too short to stay angry at your friends. That's why I went to Jimin's house and we agreed to be friends still. I also went over to Hana's house to talk about the same thing, but obviously she wasn't there." I explained, gesturing to her. Hana got off the bed and walked over to me.

"Eugene, I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. I ruined your relationship, which caused a complication in my own, but all that is fixed now. You and Jimin are friends, Jimin and Jin are friends, Jin and I are friends, and I really hope that our friendship is just as strong as before." She cried. I pulled her into a hug.

"It's alright, Hana." I withdrew myself from the hug. "If anything, what you did actually helped me in a way. Jimin wasn't the one for me, and not being with him has-" Jin cut me off.

"Who's the new guy?" He interrogated.

"Oh, his name is Kim Taehyung. He's my halmeoni's neighbor in Japan. Born in Korea, and moving back here soon." I lied again.

"Kim Taehyung... What a nice name." Hana murmured to herself.

'Yeah, are you going to try steal him too?' I thought to myself. I unnoticeably shook my head, like I was trying to shake the thought out.

"He's cool. I hope you guys like him... Anyway, when did everyone become friends again?" I asked.

"Just today, actually. Our group got together and decided to talk. At first, I didn't exactly want to talk to Hana, but something told me to. I don't know. So, I invited her over to talk. Minah still isn't happy with Jimin and Hana, but we're hoping you can talk to her." Jin told me.

"Yeah. I'll talk to her."

Minah

"So, you're telling me that you are now friends with both Hana and Jimin?" My eyes widened in shock. I couldn't believe Eugene has made such a foolish decision like that. Does she not understand what they did to her?

"Yes."

"Why?" I scrunched up my face in disgust.

"Because I don't want any drama. I hate drama." Eugene whined as she slumped onto her bed.

"Are you stupid? Aren't you the least bit angry with them?" I started pacing around her room, touching all these interesting little ornaments.

"Of course I'm still angry, but like I said, I hate drama... Anyway, I wanted to tell you something. I met this guy in Japan. He was born here, and going to move back soon. I kind of like him, I guess." She told me as a blush creeped onto her cheeks. I smiled.

"That's awesome! I want to meet him. What's his name?"

"Kim Taehyung. He—Don't touch that!" She screamed as I picked up a black teapot and ran my thumb across the writing. From the spout, came a puff of smoke and it formed into a floating human. He was facing Eugene who had jumped off her bed and had a look of horror on her face.

"Eugenie! You're back already." The thing said. She didn't reply.

"Uhh... Who are you?" I furrowed my eyebrows as it turned around.

"I'm Eugene's genie. My name is Kim Taehyung... How come you can see me?" He turned to face Eugene once again. "Eugene, how come she can see me?... Eugene?" I focused on her and she looked confused.

"Eugene, Kim Taehyung is talking to you." I said in mock tone. I have a feeling that I just met this Kim Taehyung she has a crush on, and he does not live in Japan.

"He's here? You can see him? Taehyung!" The color drained from her face as she came to realization. "I can't see him." She whispered.

"Eugene!" Taehyung shouted before turning back to me with a scowl on his face. "What did you do? Why can't she see me?"
