10:10 | Hoshi

2✦

[(Y/N)'S POV]

I waited patiently, but angrily for 10:10 to come. That genie I swear... he took my first kiss! I'm going to kill him...

I sat on my bed, legs and arms crossed. When Hoshi finally appeared, he saw my angry expression and immediately went for the door.

"Yah!" I pulled him back.

"Y-yes?" he asked, obviously scared.

"I knew you were just a perv! You stole my first kiss!" I complained.

"Sorry, I just granted your wish!"

"That wasn't even my wish!"

"Well you stopped crying after that didn't you?"

"That's because I was angry!"

"It was a way to grant your wish," he replied. I rolled my eyes, not wanting to pursue this argument anymore.

I sighed and sat back on my bed. What should I wish for today? I had a year of wishes, and I already didn't know what to ask. What was this year even going to be? Having so many wishes makes you wonder what to actually wish for.

I could ask Hoshi to make Wonwoo like me back, but I know this isn't right. I need to move on already. I'm just his friend, nothing more.

"Do you have a wish?" Hoshi asked me.

"Not yet," I replied.

There was a knock at my bedroom door and I panicked. Hoshi was here! How would I explain this?

"Sweetie? I made some snacks." I heard my mom's voice.

"Quick hide," I whispered to Hoshi. I opened the closet and gestured him to go inside it.

"But-"

I pushed him in and at the same moment my mom walked in. I luckily had already closed the closet door.

"Here you go," she posed the bowl of fruits on my desk. I thanked her. She was going to leave, when we suddenly heard the door of my closet crack. She turned back.

"What was that?"

"Nothing! Just, huh, the wind!" I replied.

"There's no wind, your window is closed."

Dang. What should I do?? She proceeded to the closet. I couldn't do anything to stop her at this point. When she opened it, Hoshi was standing there making a peace sign towards me. My mom though, didn't have any reaction. She simply closed the closet.

"I don't know why I thought there was someone." She started laughing as she left my room.

What the hell? Hoshi was right there!

I opened the closet.

"She can't see me, only you can," he said.

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I tried."

"Anyway, I'm going at my best friend Hyemi's house," I told him as I grabbed my backpack.

"Okay," he said and followed me.

We walked over to her house, since it was pretty close to where I live. Before knocking at the front door, I told Hoshi to behave and not make anything suspicious. Hyemi invited me inside and we went to her bedroom and started talking.

"That's right, while I'm thinking about it, yesterday Wonwoo messaged me," she said.

"Oh really...?" I diverted my gaze to the ground.
