[Y/N's POV]

I finally arrived at the palace. I just need to go back to the throne room now and find the-

Baekho and Ren blocked my way as I entered the throne room. I had completely forgotten about these two. We had beat them during the fight earlier, so I don't think they exactly like me.

"Oh it's the girl," Baekho said.

"Ahahahah, umm, yeah guys, I'm just gonna go inside and read you know... Just wanna look through the books and stuff," I said nervously as I pointed over to the wall of books.

"You thought we'd believe that?" Ren laughed. They both gripped my arms and dragged me over to the throne. They tied up my hands together and made me sit on a random chair. I guess it's not everyone that gets to sit on the throne. 

"Seriously guys? Did you really need to tie up my hands?"

"Well we never know if you'd attack us," Ren answered my comment.

"Let's wait for Jr to comeback before making a decision on what to do with her, it shouldn't be that long," Ren stated to his companion. I snickered.

As if. Hoshi will clearly beat him. I thought.

Baekho nodded and we all stayed quiet during a long moment. The two of them were looking around awkwardly. Meanwhile, I was looking through the book shelves for Hoshi's record. I was sitting rather close to the books, so I could see the titles of some of them. After a little while of observation, I saw the books and records were classified according to the alphabetical order. I was sitting on the side, in front of the As. When freeing myself somehow, all I would have to do is go to the H section and find the one called Hoshi or something like that.

[Hoshi's POV]

On my way back to the palace, I encountered Woozi. He seemed to be waiting nervously. As he saw me, he jumped up from his seat.

"Hoshi! What about Jr?" he asked curiously.

"I made him drink the potion," I told him. He sighed in relief. He composed himself again and looked at me seriously.

"Let's go find (Y/N). I have a bad feeling we forgot two characters in this..." Woozi whispered the end.

He was right. There was also Ren and Baekho... The two of us ran back to the palace.

[(Y/N)'S POV]

Suddenly, the door burst open, as randomly as I had opened it just earlier this day.

Hurricane came in. *cough cough* I mean Hoshi.

He was followed by our pink-haired friend. Baekho and Ren both stood up in a instant. Me too, but erm I couldn't do much with my hands tied right now.

I had to do my mission first. As my two guards were distracted by Hoshi and Woozi, I turned to the books and ran towards the 'H' section.

Heechul... Henry... Hongbin... ah Hoshi!

I read the names in my head until I found the right book. I took it, though my hands were tied at the wrists. It's so annoying to have your hands tied. I turned to look at the boys. They were trying to resonate Baekho and Ren.

"Does it make any sense to you to destroy people's relationship??"

"It's for our world..."

"What happened to Jr?"

"Huh nothing"

"You two look really suspicious..."

"I thought you were on our side Woozi. Why are you helping some humans?"

"They're my friends. I protect my friends."

I followed their conversation with my eyes, going from one to another. My eyes finally met Hoshi's. He jogged over to me and untied my hands before anyone could really react. He held my hand in his and looked at the others in a challenging way. As if he was saying 'just try and get us apart'.

"You guys don't know what you're doing..." Ren started.

The next moment, Woozi fell to the ground. We all looked at him in surprise. Hoshi and I went to his side to make sure he was okay. He was holding a new potion.

"I have no more powers after this. Same potion as for Jr." He said, his voice sounded weak. He had completely used all his power of luck of the day to do this. Hoshi nodded and took the potion.

"What... happened?" Baekho asked carefully as we turned back to them. Hoshi hid the potion behind his back.

We walked towards them and they took some steps back. Not a lot, because they were blocked by the wall. In a quick movement, I blocked Ren from moving while Hoshi made Baekho drink half the potion. A second later, Baekho looked totally lost. Hoshi gave me the potion discretely and I made Ren drink the rest of it.

"Who are you?" Baekho asked Hoshi.

"Just a genie... huh, Jr told me to come and take a book," Hoshi said as he pointed to the book I was holding.

"Oh, I see." Baekho looked away a second and saw Woozi laying on the floor.

"Huh... what happened to him?" he asked, obviously confused.

"Oh, he's just... huh, sleeping? He falls asleep really easily you see." Hoshi rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. I chuckled lightly under my breath.

"Sorry, we'll take our friend home don't worry," I said. They both nodded and we carried Woozi out of the throne room. Of course, I brought Hoshi's record with me.

Outside, we woke Woozi up. He still looked a bit weak.

"Are you okay? Where is your house? We'll bring you back," I asked him.

Woozi told us the directions and we brought him back to his house. We all sat in his living room. I put Hoshi's record on the table in front of us. We all stared at it during a minute. All that was left was to destroy it and go back to our world.

"What's the best way to destroy it? " I asked Woozi.

"Probably to burn it," he answered.

"Wait," Hoshi interrupted us. "I want to read it before... if you guys don't mind."

Woozi and I both understood. We gave him some time to read the book about his previous life. Meanwhile, Woozi went to sleep and I watched some random movie that was passing on the tv. Strangely enough, the genie world had the same channels as the human world...

[Time Skip]

"Okay I'm done," Hoshi announced as he closed the book. I closed the tv and went to sit next to him, lightly pecking his lips.

"So, ready?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, I just wanted to know everything that happened you know..." he smiled. Woozi joined us in the living room.

"Thank you for everything that you've done for us Woozi," Hoshi thanked him. I nodded in agreement.

"You're welcome. Ready to go back?" He asked the both of us. He showed us a lighter that was in his hand.

...

We watched as the flames consumed the book that contained all the remaining traces of our presence in this world.
