Yuri’s POV

Minho and Nichkhun seems to be having a really serious conversation.

Maybe it’s about the necklace?

But what is Minho worried about? He still has my lamp, so he still has 3 wishes.

I watched as Minho started walking away.

Probably to get us drinks just like Krystal asked.

Nichkhun smiled and waved at us.

“So what’s going on with you and Nichkhun?” Krystal teased.

“Nothing… We’re just really close friends.”

“Close as in you and MINHO close or close as in LOVE close?” she winked.

I laughed then shook my head.

I didn’t notice it but we were walking further and further away from the shore.

The water level is till my chest now.

“I think we should go back.” I murmured to Krystal who completely ignored me.

The waves were getting stronger as well.

“Krystal… I… I…I can’t swim…” I groaned as I tried to keep my balance as the water kept rising and the waves continued to carry me away from land.

Suddenly I felt a pair of arms wrap around my hips and carry me to shore.

I opened my eyes when I felt my body covered in sand.

“Khun?” I looked at the wet Nichkhun panting beside me.

“OMO! Are you ok?” I asked.

He simple nodded and messed my hair up again.

“Why are you going to the deep water when you know you can’t swim?” he asked.

I bit my bottom lip “Mianhe, I couldn’t control myself.”

I watched Krystal as she swam swiftly further in to the ocean.

“WOW! She really knows how to swim!” I spoke amazed.

Nichkhun wrapped a towel around me as I sat up.

“Oh, gomawo.” I smiled and wrapped it around him too as he sat next to me.

He stared “You might catch a cold too.” I smiled.

TOP’S POV

“Yuri, Yuri, Yuri! Why would you go all the way to Jeju Island with a human? And ….Nichkhun.” I sighed out.

I can’t contact you all the way there, or Nichkhun might notice my true intentions.

Right now, the only hope I have is Minho.

"May he take care of you."

I spoke to myself before getting on stage.

Nichkhun’s POV

I stared at Yuri as she shared the towel that was wrapped around her with me.

That was really… caring.

“I got the drinks!” Minho raised a plastic bag full of canned drinks.

Then he stared at us, mostly at Yuri. The he looked out into the sea to see Krystal swimming back to us.

I shook my head. Krystal’s always trying to impress him, too bad for her, it isn’t working.

“Oppa! You got us drinks!” she quickly grabbed one and began gulping it down.

“You guys went for a swim without me!” Minho pouted.

Ugh! But it seems to be working to Yuri because I could hear her giggling slightly.

But then I sensed something… Something familiar.

“Did you hear that?” I whispered and signaled them to shut up.

We could hear the crash of the waves but there was more to that.

“Go quick! Take the girls somewhere safe!” I commanded Minho.

Minho quickly nodded; I knew he could feel the bad aura too.

“Khun! Aren’t you coming with us?” Yuri screamed as Minho grabbed Krystal and her arms and continued running.

“Ani, I have business to take care of.” I gave the best smile that I could.

Soon someone appeared in front of me and punched my stomach.

I tried to breathe but it was hard.

“Tsk!” a man groaned.

“What a-are you d-doing here?” I asked, trying my best to get my words together.

I recognized him. He’s my master’s son.

I can’t believe master has gone this far for the necklace.

He would never contact any of his son’s unless it was an emergency.

Man, he must want this necklace so bad.

I stood up properly, trying to regain my strength.

“Master’s growing tired of your foolish games… he needs the necklace… now!”

Next thing I know I was pinned down on the floor as two other guys searched my whole body.

Looking for the necklace.

I smirked.

“WHERE IS IT?!” One of the men screamed.

“Somewhere you’ll never find.” I winked, trying to piss him off even more.

For that I received another punch but this time, on the face.

“How could you betray father?” he grabbed my shirt.

“That part was easy.” I smirked.

He punched me again, this time, everything was going blurry.

“It must be with the other guy! FIND THE HUMAN, THE WITCH… AND THE GENIE!” the man who seems to be in charge kicked my sides making me groan in pain. I could see my surroundings getting darker and darker.

Minho’s POV

“Where are we going, what's going on?” Yuri asked.

I actually have no idea. All I know is that it has something to do with the necklace.

Suddenly Krystal stopped running “Oppa, I’m tired.”

“We can’t stop! It’s too dangerous to!” I hissed out.

“WHY?!” Krystal yelled.

“Be quiet or they might find us!” I hissed out again.

I can tell both Yuri and Krystal had no idea what was going on, I didn't as well until Nichkhun has told me.

“I DON’T WANT TO!” she screamed out again.

I tried to cover but it was too late.

They have found us.

“Where’s the necklace?”  A tall man appeared in the middle of nowhere.

“I don’t know.” I stated

“WHERE IS THE NECKLACE!” he screamed making Yuri and Krystal step back.

“Take her!” the man ordered as he pointed at Yuri.

I had no idea what to do!

“WAIT DON’T!” I screamed and held my fist.

“I’ll tell you where the necklace is… Just leave her alone.” I spoke as calmly as I could.

“Where?” the man smirked. “It’s… it’s in the water. I dropped it there when I was swimming.” I bit my bottom lip.

“Good boy!” The man praised me like a little puppy.

“Let her go now!” I commanded.

The man stared at Yuri for a while “Nah, I’ll keep her. If I find out you’re lying, you’re little genie friend here… is going to get it real bad!” another man grabbed Yuri’s wrist making her wince in pain.

I couldn’t move or say anything. Next thing I know they disappeared.

Then Nichkhun came panting towards us, he looks hurt.

“W-Where’s Y-Yu-ul?” he tried to catch his breath.

I looked down in disappointment.

"She's... she's gone..." Krystal whispered in fear.
