Chapter Twenty

"So? How was your first day of school?"

Rose looks at the genie with narrowed eyes. Woozi snickers at the girl for bringing up such a ridiculous idea.

"I honestly don't know why you're even doing this. Your friend has everything under control, doesn't he?"

Rose sits down at a nearby couch and exhales deeply. She rubs her temples in annoyance at Woozi's ignorance.

"Woozi, for the last fucking time, I'm doing this to get info! Now leave me the fuck alone—I want to sleep."

Rose lays down on the couch, arms cross above her eyes to avoid the beaming fluorescent lights above her.

Inviting Woozi inside her house was such a bad idea. The genie has touched and tampered with every single item in the house, not bothering to put it back, as well.

"Rose." Woozi says softly, making the fairy open one eye, wondering where the sudden sincereness is coming from. Rose sits up and looks at Woozi with a confused expression.

"Yes?" 

"I know why you're going to Yeona's school."

Rose looks at him in bewilderment at his sudden approach. Wondering what he's meaning, Rose nods her head for him to continue. The genie howls in laughter, making the fairy flinch in surprise.

"You think I'm stupid, Rose?" Woozi sneers. He stands up and begins to pace around her living room, making the fairy grow anxious.

"What is it, Woozi?" Rose asks wearily, afraid for what is going to happen. Woozi stops in his tracks and looks at Rose with a side smile, then frowns.

"I know you're going for that dumb blonde. Jimin, right? What a pretty boy he is. I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I payed a visit to his precious household." Woozi seethes, face calm yet filled with obliterate anger.

The fairy's eyes widen at his response. She stands up and grabs Woozi's arm harshly, making the man hiss in pain.

"You will do—" Rose grips his arm tighter, making the genie groan in pain. "—no such thing, to Jimin." She loosens her grip from Woozi's arm, making Woozi exhale in relief. Woozi then grabs the girl's wrist and yanks her into his arms, making the girl yelp in surprise.

"And, if I do? What you gonna do, sweetheart?"

Woozi tucks a strand of hair behind her ears.

"Turn me into a tea cup?"

Woozi bursts in laughter at his joke, making the fairy grow red in anger. She smacks the boy's chest and calls his attention one more time.

"What the hell is your problem, honestly? I'm not your girlfriend, so I can get with whomever I want whenever I want."

Woozi stops laughing and looks at Rose with a dark expression, making the fairy raise her eyebrows in surprise. The genie waves a finger at Rose and tsks, circling her as if she is prey.

"Oh, but you are indeed wrong. Your father specifically told me to protect you from these types of things, so that's what I'm gonna do."

Something snapped inside of Rose due to the mentioning of her father. She shoves Woozi against the wall, surprising the genie.

"My father may have told you to take care of me, but that didn't mean I would be yours."

Woozi switches positions; Rose against the wall, hands pinned above her head. He whispers against her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

"I thought we've established this already."

Rose bites her lip anxiously; her eyes flickering from his lips to his eyes. Her thoughts urge her to lean in and kiss him, but something is holding her back.
