I silently cried in the corner of my room. Father and mother were fighting again and all I could hear was glass breaking, foul shouts of my father, and my mother crying. If I could just wish that they would stop fighting and we could be a happy family again, I'd do everything to get that wish.
My room was a mess, I couldn't sleep for the past few weeks and my mom and dad would sometimes go out of the house for a long time. Good thing that our maid stays here sometimes, I won't be sad alone.
I just need to forget about everything about what happened tonight, but I know that they're gonna make up but fight again in the end. That's the problem, I don't get it to why they fight with each other. My thoughts were broken down as to I have heard a broken vase. I cried more until I was hiccuping, I heard about what they were saying.
"You're the reason why she's living like this! If you could've worked hard enough we would all be happy! You bitch!!" My father's shouts rang through my ears as I cried once more.
"What about you?! Do you think that drinking and having sex with other women will make our life better?!" My mother shouted as she cried, their shouts were so loud that I coul already hear it.
I-I think I've heard enough, I'm going to sleep... if I can.

Well, another awful day of school awaits for me. I better get up now... I headed downstairs. Just by seeing the hallway, it was a mess. What if I go downstairs? It'll be worse even..
As I laid a foot on the living room, I looked away. I couldn't bear see that our clean and tidy living room was now like a tsunami had passed over it. The couches were ripped, glass pieces were everywhere, and there was pen marks on the wall. No...
I wish that I can make it all just go away, but it seems like there's no where I can escape. Thought that I'd be okay, if I never have to see this again.
I opened the door of my classroom, and I felt wet immediately. An empty bucket of blue paint was on the floor and it's contents were on me, to the fact that my classmates threw eggs at me too.
"Get her!" Someone said, and I felt the hits of the shells on my skin stinging. I used my bag to protect me but it was no use, they were everywhere. Everytime an egg would hit me, I screamed. Tears fell down on my cheeks but I guess it wasn't visible because of the blue paint.
I ran outside the classroom, wet with paint and raw eggs all over me. I looked like a freak show. I walked everywhere just to release my sadness, everything's gone for me. I saw an antique shop, it was sort of old and abandoned. I went inside the shop.

Everything was dusty and old, of course, it's an antique shop. I roamed around, seeing beautiful antiques. But one small thing just caught my attention and got me curious. In a dark and isolated corner of the antique store, stood a very large thing that had a white sheet covered over it. It looked like a cabinet but it was very big and tall. I wondered what was covered beneath it and decided to remove the white long sheet.
A glass cabinet that was big and tall greeted my eyes. I held the two handles of the glass cabinet, staring at my own reflection. The two glass doors opened and dust were flying over. I saw a lamp in the very middle shelf.
I grabbed it and wondered what was inside. The cap wouldn't open and I could feel that there was something carved on the lamp. I blew air on it so I could see and I rubbed it so I could also see it clearly.
Suddenly, there was gold smoke coming from the tip of the lamp. As the smoke formed, I saw a shadow. A shadow that's more of a person. I dropped the lamp due to shock, fell down the floor and backed away when I saw that he was staring at me.
"I will give you three wishes in order for you to be happy, use them well." His dark voice surrounded the room and his face was so serious. He was wearing a gold like man-dress. After he said those words, gold smoke surrounded me for a second and it went back to him. I changed my clothes, seeing that I actually have extra ones in my soaked bag.
"I see.. You can use them for a certain thing you want or wish to be fixed back again." The guy said, seems like he knows my situation. So, I thought of a wish that would make me happy forever.
"I wish my parents were back again." I said with full confidence as I grabbed the lamp on the floor and stood up. He just looked at me for a minute and I hesitated if I made the right wish. After long minutes of waiting he replied.
"Wish granted." He said and my phone rang. I looked at the caller I.D and noticed that it was my mom. I answered it and heard that she and dad were in the mall. So the wish really worked?
"You have two wishes left, use them well." He replied and I was left dumbfounded for my next wish. I had a lot of wishes but I only have two left. I thought of something that I would really want to happen.
"I'm Hyun-Ae by the way." I intoduced myself as I was curious on what his name was. I was also curious on why is he in the lamp.
"Sehun at your service." He said as he looked down on me as if I was an ant.
"Sehun, can I ask something? Why are you in this lamp?" I said as I stood up and grabbed the lamp on the floor.
"My father cursed me to be in this lamp because of disagreeing to have an arranged marriage. Now, he put me in here to learn my lessons on disobeying him." He said as his eyes watered. I pity him for being here, to the fact that he was alone all these years. I thought about something, thinking wisely as to I have thought of another wish.
We talked for a while, getting to know each other. I have discovered that we were in the same age, 18. He was forced to marry a girl from North Korea but the two didn't like it and eventually, Sehun got the blame.
"Can I have my second and last wish together?" I asked as I thought of two wishes that will surely make Sehun and I happy.
"Yes you can, my lady." He nodded.
"I wish I was loved and I wish that you were free out of that lamp!" Suddenly, the lamp I was holding shook and so did Sehun. I panicked a little, seeing that he was slowly vanishing into gold smoke.
After about 3 minutes, the smoke vanished and a light popped. Sehun dropped to the floor, groaning and holding his head.
"Sehun!" I screamed as I neared him, kneeling down. He smiled weakly.
"Wish granted." He then hugged me. I released the hug and looked at him, confused. I smiled, realizing that he loves me.
