♕Genies in the Bottle   ————————————————————————   tell me your wish, tell me the little dreams in your heart, draw your ideal man in your head and look at me, i'm your genie.   the prologue    YEAR 2012 "Yah Kim Freaking Jongin! if you're not up in three seconds, this time I'm going to really cut your throat!" A scream was heard from the first floor of the two storey house as it reached out the second floor to where a boy was sleeping undisturbed until the voice echoed and broke into his head. Kim Jongin never liked this intruder ever since he first stepped inside this house, it was such a hell to have an owner as loud as her-- but again, he wasn't one to choose his owner afterall. He always thought that as long as he grants her three wishes, there will be no such thing to make his life worse than it is now like getting dragged into problematic dramas like the ones that he'd seen on television (actually, the ones that the other genies watched, not like Kim Jongin would watch such sissy dramas pshh), and well, he was wrong about that. His owner, unlike others, wasnt the type who would thoughtlessly ask him to grant her a wish or two, instead, all she did was torturing him day and night, rants after rants, and then she started to abuse him with pinches and hair pulling-- which the other genies found amusing to watch. And did Kim Jongin mention about how much he despises early morning? --uhm.. well, he really, really hates them.   "Shut up... I'm trying to sleep", a mumbled scowl went out from his slightly parted lips, low and grumpy yet it wasn't loud enough to be heard by anyone downstairs. Kim Jongin refused to wake up, as usual, and then pulled the flocculent honey colored wool blanket over his head as if he's trying to not imagine the wrath of the younger girl who happened to be his 'lovely' owner that always haunted him every single morning. Five seconds later, there was a scream and crabby steps of wooden creaks of the stairs as it gets closer and closer, Kai sighed before his mind counted a short countdown of three seconds before a chaos that he would gotten himself involved-- BANG, there went his slammed open door and in three... two... one-- "KIM JONGIN YOU BRAT! I SAY COME HERE! OR I'LL USE MY FINAL WISH TO TORTURE YOU!"  Kim Jongin cussed under his breath as he scarcely glared at the girl who daringly glared back at him with her hands crossed in the most conceited way. He drowsily peeked from inside his blanket for a quick second before turning his back on her. "YAH! ARE YOU IGNORING ME KIM JONGBRAT?!" as she said that, she hit him with one of the deserted pillows on the floor. "Aishh", with an irritated roll of his eyes, Kai barely pushed himself up from his cozy sleep and shoved the blankets away, "okay.. okay!" he said, almost as loud as the girl's voice earlier, then let out an audible cuss under his breath, wishing that he could use his powers to actually zip forever. At that, she smiled pleasantly as if she had just achieved something extraordinary, "good. Now move your or--" and she stopped, a little bit provoked by how intese Kai's eyes were fixated at her, "or?" Kai blinked, a quick twitch on the corner of his lips playing in slight mischief and she was too damn annoyed already. "YOU BETTER GET YOU UP, JONGBRAT. OR SHOULD I CALL JOONMYUN AND CHANYEOL OPPA HERE?!" He scooted closer to the girl infront of him with a mischiveous smirk, "no thanks, there's enough noise here, I cant stand too much vexatious holy babbles in the morning, you know that" with an abstruse smile stretching upon his lips and ignoring the unbelieving scoff coming from the girl, Kai proceeded to stand up and stretch up a bit. As usual, Kai's black hair was tousled, his eyes were drowsy and full or irritation, a permanent pout ready to curse anyone who dared making his life more miserable than it already was. He then pulled his clothes off, revealing a gorgeous toned body, "WHAT THE HECK KIM JONGIN?!" suddenly her face flared red and fleetly turned around to avoid the taboo scene she had accidentally seen, "CURSE YOU. MY EYES. MY GOD." Seeing the girl looking so flushed, her misery somehow brought him a bliss of happiness, therefore, he decided to tease his owner a bit and aproached her from the back while saying, "hmm? what are you doing ert ahjumma? scared to fall for this y beast, yeah?" -- and that was probably the only reason why Kim Jongin grumpily ate his breakfast with a red hand stamp across his reddened right cheek that morning, "I hate my life" Joonmyun came with another plate of bacon and eggs while giving Kai a sympathetic pat on the shoulder, "we understand." Sunday morning in the apartment located near Busan's national baseball stadium, Park Chanyeol was sitting on the ebony colored couch beside Baekhyun and Sehun, who were too busy indulged in their "too awesome for you" barbarous wii game as he patiently waited for the time his owner came back along with the other five owners, who happened to be "best friends for life" and went to the same highschool and lived together. Chanyeol wasn't actually ditched or anything, he was having fun watching-- or not really, scratch that. He was actually very bored watching two bulky men smashing their fist against the other bulky men, throwing bodies around as if they were godzillas and not to mention all the bloody violence coming out from their body and the other dead bodies around them, it was disatrous. Park Chanyeol was sure he'd rather watch my little pony than playing such brute game. "You sure, you don't want to switch with us, Yeol?" Baekhyun had asked with a glint of apologetic grin, "Sehun lost anyway, he can just wait for the next round after you and I play, how about that?" When Baekhyun said that, Chanyeol heard Sehun's little scowl and brightly rejected the offer, "I'd rather watch rainbow dash saving the world, but thanks anyway" Baekhyun blinked several times then exchanged looks with Sehun before saying, "okay... Anything you want, Yeol" then resumed their game. "My little pony, Yeol? Seriously?" Kim Jongin was giving him a look full of mock as he tried to keep his cool, "t-they're for boys too! and they're pretty badass" Just when he said badass, flowers came out of nowhere in the scene and the colorful ponies started to sing something tingly and girly. "For boys," Chanyeol could hear the younger snorted then left. Oh how Chanyeol hates it when Kai did that. Kyungsoo went to see him few minutes after Kai left, probably he was told by a certain sadistic younger genie about Chanyeol's newest weird antics, "hmm... the yellow one's cute?" Kyungsoo gave Chanyeol an awkward toothy grin of courtesy before he looked at the clock and stood up, "Uhm look Chanyeol, I'd like to watch it with you but I think we should leave for school now, it's almost two" Chanyeol suddenly remembered his owner and put his laptop away, then followed Kyungsoo and Joonmyun out to pick up the girls. Thirty minutes later, the three came home with six other girls, "we're home!" a cheery voice beamed, coming from a girl with pony tails as she quickly ran towards the living room to backhug her oh-so straightfaced genie, "Sehunie! you missed me, didn't you?" she gave him a quick coo and pinched his baby fat on his slightly cherubic cheeks while Sehun only scowled saying 'i'm not a kidth' out loud (bless his lisp, that was probably the only thing they loved about the maknae). The six other girls only sho
