[A few months later, Hoshi's POV]

"How's Woozi doing?" (Y/N) asked.

"Good. He is someone's genie now," I answered.

"Why? Do you miss him?" I asked. I was going to only think it, but ended up saying it out loud-

"Dude relax, I was just wondering," she looked at me like 'what's your problem'.

She was right, what's my problem? I keep being like this with everyone she mentions. Am I starting to be protective? She came all the way to the genie world to save me... ever since then I've been like this. What's wrong with me?

"Oh. I think I have a wish Hoshi!" she said as she smiled. Her idea seemed to make her happy, but I wasn't...?

"Already? Can you wait until the end of the day to tell me?"

"Huh? Why?"

I have no idea why I said that. There's no reason to it, I think I just enjoy her company. I feel like passing my whole days with her lately. She makes me happy...

She waved her hand in front of my face, which woke me up from my thoughts. I've probably been on the moon for a while now.

"Ah yes?" I snapped out of it.

"Are you sick or what?" She was seemingly concerned as she put one of her hand on my forehead to check my temperature.

"Sick for you." Why did I say this omg? Her eyes met mine again, and a grin appeared on her face.

"That's cheesy," she said and pinched my cheek.

"Stop pouting already," she told me. Was I pouting? I didn't even notice...

Looking at the time, she noticed it was time to head back to class. Lunch break was over. Her classes were boring as usual, I sat on the ground in the middle of the way between the desks, but next to hers. She listened to the teacher as if I wasn't there. She was already used to me. I caught myself staring at her. Why the hell was she so pretty? I shook my head and layed between the desks. I need to sleep.

When the bell finally rang announcing the end of the school day, I jumped up from the ground, ready to go home.

I smiled big as the two of us walked home together. We instead stopped by an ice cream shop first, then headed to 'our park', as I liked to call it. No one was there except us for some reason. We simply sat on two swings. We always did this, there was a section with only two swings, we'd both sit there, me at the right one and her at the left one.

"Can I tell you my wish now?"

"Not yet," I declined, wanting to enjoy some more time together.

[(Y/N)'s POV]

I wondered why he didn't want me to tell my wish yet. At first I was going to ask for a not-so-important thing, but his constant refusals got me to wonder about something else. Now I had a new wish. I wanted to know the answer to it, it was killing me.

After finishing our ice creams, we continued talking about some random stuff. He was a bit out of it, sometimes just staring at me. I had to make him snap out of it two times. We then headed back home.

"I'm back" I said to my parents and went to my bedroom. I installed my school notebooks on my desk and sat down on the chair. I then started one of my many homework, the wish still at the back of my mind.

In just a few other months, summer would be there again. Summer vacation meant no school, but this time it also meant Hoshi would disappear. This year had passed so fast, I couldn't believe this was almost already the end. I would forget him.

This thought saddened me a lot. He was worthy of my memory, it was so unfair. I kept thinking he was one of the amazing thing that happened in my life.

Even if there was only two months and half left, I was going to enjoy my days as much as possible. I was finally done with my homework, at 8pm.

"Can I tell you now?" I asked him. He sighed but agreed.

"Okay."

[Hoshi's POV]

"My wish is for you to not lie when answering this question."

"Okay," I agreed curiously.

"Do you like me?"

...

I stayed quiet after the question. It made me realize, she might be annoying sometimes, say stupid things then take it back yet I knew she cared for me. The answer was clear, because I cared for her too. The reason behind wanting to spend so much time with her... everything was so evident now.

I stared down at my hands as I thought, but looked back at her when I knew the answer.

"Yes. I love you."
