(Concept: Jungkook is a genie and Mina somehow discovers him. She uses her wishes in ways that Jungkook has never seen before and he is unsure about how to proceed)

(Mina POV)

I came home from work later than usual today. My boss has me working overtime. I was so tired, I almost didn't notice the box sitting in front of my door. I checked the address, it looked like it was sent from my parents.

I took the package inside and sat down for a second. I took a deep breath, trying to unwind. I closed my eyes and dozed off for a few minutes. I almost forgot all about the package.

I finally opened it before I went to bed. Inside was a letter from my mom and few random items.

Mina,

Your dad and I were reorganizing the house and we found some things we thought you might like to keep. Some of them belonged to me and some of them belonged to your dad. These things reminded us of you. We miss you, Mina. We hope you're doing well. Your dad and I are always here for you and we love you very much. If you don't want to keep some things, please donate them. Take care of yourself, love.

From,
Mom and Dad

It's been a while since I've seen my parents. I text and call them occasionally, but we never really talk much. We never have the time.

Looking through the box, there were some clothes, accessories, and knick-knacks. But out of everything, there was one thing that stood out to me.

It was a heart shaped pendant on a gold chain. I think I remember my mom wearing this when I was younger. It stood out to me because it looked brand new. I opened the pendant to see what was inside; a picture or something, but there was nothing. The inside was only reflective, like a mirror. I flipped the pendant around in my hand. On the back, there were a few words engraved in the metal.

Speak your name

I thought this was some kind of motivational saying or metaphor, but for some odd reason, it felt like an instruction.

"Mina. Myoui Mina." I speak out loud to myself, staring at my reflection in the pendant.

The reflection suddenly becomes brighter, like it was glowing. I thought my eyes were deceiving me until a brilliant flash filled the room. I naturally cover my eyes, but when I look back, I almost had a heart attack.

Was I dreaming?

I nearly screamed. There was a man standing in front of me. He wore white clothes, but he had dark hair. It was like he was glowing too.

"Woah, Sachiko! It's been a while!" He says.

I sat there, eyes wide open, almost terrified, not knowing what to do.

Did he say Sachiko? That's my mom's name...

"Hey...what's wrong?" His expression changes. He seemed worried.

"Who are you?" I manage to speak.

He chuckles, "Sachiko, it's me. Don't you remember?"

"Sachiko is my mother's name. Now who are you?"

Now he looked confused as well, "Your mother..? What year is it?"

"Why does that matter? Tell me who you are!"

"I go by Jungkook. I'm a genie. I thought...you were your mother. I thought she finally came back."

"What- Genie? What are you talking about?"

"I'm not a human. I'm a genie. I granted two wishes for your mother, but she never came back to use her third one." He suddenly smiles, "You look just like her when she was younger. What did you say your name was again?"

"Mina."

"Well, Mina." He puts his hands together, "Since you were the one to summon me, I have a new master now. I will grant you three wishes. Anything in the world, except I can't kill anyone, I can't make anyone fall in love, and I can't bring anyone back from the dead. Got it?"

"I..."

"Take your time."

I had to process everything he just told me. I still thought I could be dreaming.

"What if I don't want to use any of my wishes?" I ask.

"Then you're unlike anyone I've ever met before."

I had to find out more about this guy.

"How many people have you granted wishes for?"

"Too many. I've been doing this for hundreds of years."

"What did my mom wish for?"

He was suddenly at a loss for words. He puts on a sad smile, "She wished for a son. A few years later, she came back and wished for a daughter."

She wished for me and my brother. That was all she wanted. That's why she didn't use her third wish.

He waited for my mother to come back for over twenty years, but she never did.

"Well then..." My mind rushed, "I wish for you to be free."

"What..?"

"I wish you didn't have to be a genie anymore."

"Wait-"

"I wish you were a human!"

"Mina, wait!"

Another bright flash of light fills the room, forcing me to shut my eyes. When I opened them again, I looked down at the pendant in my hand. It was broken. Jungkook was kneeling on the floor, holding his stomach.

"What happened? Are you okay?" I go to him.

"It hurts..." He mumbles.

"Your stomach?"

"Why does it hurt?" He groans.

And then we heard his stomach growl. He must be really hungry. He's probably never felt that before.

"You're hungry. You need to eat something."

I had some leftovers in my fridge so I took them out for him to eat. He ate so much.

"What is this? It's tastes amazing!" He says with his mouth full.

"It's just japchae. People eat it all the time."

He suddenly becomes quiet. He finishes chewing and swallows his food before speaking to me. He stared straight into my eyes.

"Can you show me how to be a human?"

"Well..." I shrug, "You said you've been around for hundreds of years, so shouldn't you know what humans are like?"

"I've only seen them though. I've never knew what it felt like to do all the things you do."

I couldn't just leave him alone. I'm the one that wished him to be free after all.

"Before my wish was granted, you were trying to tell me something. What was it?" I ask.

"Oh..." He says, "I was just going to tell you that you should use your other two wishes before doing something like that because now, I can't grant anyone anymore wishes."

"It's alright. You wouldn't be able to grant my wishes anyways."

"What makes you say that?"

"Because I would've wished for love."
