JEHA'S POV

" You should seat by the window...." Lu Yan suggested to Hana as she got into the car....I proceeded to move into the car as well since I wanted do sit next to Hana but..." Can you help me hold this?" Lu Yan asked as he handed me Hana's bag..." I'll sit first and you will send it to me.." he added as he got in and sat....I have to say I definitely feel disappointed..." Are you getting in?" Soora asked as I quickly stepped into the car as well.

" Are you sure it's okay for you to get off here?" We asked Hana as she stepped out of the car.." it's fine..I have something to pick up from the convinience store and from there it's not a long distance till our house..." She replied as I helped pass her the bag..." Thank you..." She said to me with a smile..." Thanks for the weekend..." She added as she waved and left....

Our car turned to live when I suddenly," Stop!" I said as it stopped..." I will get off from here as well..." I said as I quickly got out of the car..." why would you do that when we going in the same direction...?" Soora asked..." I have something to do around here before I head home." I said..." And what is exactly that?" Soora asked..." Something...." I replied as I waved and walked away.

HANA'S POV

...." What happened to the lights...?" I asked my self as I went through some dark alley...." ahh this is scary..." I added as I walked faster only to hear something hit the ground and then footsteps behind me..." Don't be scared don't be scared don't be scared..." I chanted do my self as I reached into my purse for my cell phone...and pretended to be on a call..." Ohhhh yes I'll make sure I beat him up real good in that boxing match tomorrow...I'll twist his neck and his arm behind his back..." I said as a way to scare whichever person was behind me..." Hana..." A voice said as some one touched my shoulder....and instinctively I just held their arm and flipped them to the ground just like Jeha taught me...." Urgghhh..." The mysterious person groaned as I called the police immediately....

*

" Am really sorry...." I said to Jeha after I realised that it was him..." I'll go and apologize to the police officers too." I added as I apologized to them.." Next time make a complaint after checking facts..." The police officer said as I agreed and so they left...I looked back at Jeha who was still holding onto his shoulder....

" I really didn't hurt you did I? Like you don't need to go to the hospital..." I said as we walked home..." Iam okay..don't worry" he replied..." Iam really sorry..I didn't know it was you so I just got scared and the first thing that came to my mind is that I should flip you over..." I said as something hit my brain..." I flipped you!" I exclaimed with excitement..." I flipped you..." I added as he stared at me first with confusion and later with a smile.." I can't believe it finally happened this way..." He replied as I turned back to look at him..." Get ready to fulfill my three wishes..." I said..." Well you earned it so let's hear them." He replied..." I still have to think about them critically....it's not every day that you get a chance to have three wishes fulfilled..." I replied as I punched his shoulder playfully..." I flipped you..." I said with a chuckle....

After arriving home, I found that every thing was quiet..the restaurant was closed and no one was at home and so I gave my mom a call..." Mom...Iam back home where are you and dad?" I asked as I took a sip of water....." Oh you back...well don't worry about us..I left some food for you so heat it up and eat and go to bed..." she said but I did sense something wrong in her voice.." mom..are you okay?" I asked..." Iam done don't worry...I should get going now." She said as she immediately hang up..." What's she trying to hide?" I asked my self as I walked back into my room.

I took a shower and pulled out my diary from the drawer..and wrote " WHAT 3 WISHES DO I WANT FROM JEHA" If you asked me this question back then when all I could do was admire him from a far because I never thought that we could even be friends..I'd have over a thousand things I'd like from him and now after I got to know him on a closer level...I need to think long and hard about this... because as much as I want my wishes to be fulfilled I also want him to enjoy fulfilling them...." I can't think of anything right now.." I said as I closed the diary and slipped if back into the drawer and then went to sleep.

" Why is mom not back yet...?" I asked as I cleaned up the restaurant..." Ohh Hana it's you..." Mrs Lan our neighbour said to me as she entered the restaurant.." Good morning Mrs Lan." I said..." Good morning..how's your dad doing?" She asked.." my dad?" I replied.." Well yes he fainted yesterday morning and scared all of us...is he doing better now?" She added as I started to panic....it made sense why mom was so dismissive on phone yesterday..." He's doing okay now.." I replied as she left...I took off the apron and quickly ran over to the hospital...I asked at the reception and was directed to the ward room in which my dad was resting.....

I felt tears gather up in my eyes as I stared at him from outside the door..." Hana!" Mom called out as I immediately rushed to her..." mom what happened...?" I asked anxiously..." Your dad fainted from over working himself...he's really okay now." She replied..." Why didn't you tell me then?" I asked..." Because I didn't want you to worry...now come on...let's go." She said as she opened the door to dad's room....

JEHA'S POV

....." Can every one gather around..." The basketball coach said as every one came to where we were.." This is Kim Jeha Iam sure you already know of him..he played with us before when one of our team mates were sick.... Well he will be joining the school team and will start training with us immediately after the new year vacation..." He said as every one applauded.." Say a few words to them..." he said as I cleared my throat..." Well I hope we get along and I hope to learn more from all of you." I said as they applauded again..." Well that marks the end of our training...use this time for your vacation not only to sleep around and play video games but also to keep in shape.....untill we meet again." The coach said as every one else cheered..." You should come with me.." he added as every one welcomed me with handshakes...." Are you coming..." Coach said as I ran after him.

" You will have to sign this and also get your parents to sign it as well...." He said as he handed me what seemed to be a contract..." Is anything wrong?" He asked.." It's nothing...I'll bring it back when I start training.." I replied to him, " Thank you.." I said as I turned to leave.

« HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF RHE THREE WISHES» I said over a text to Hana..." Why isn't she replied...?" I thought to my self as I let out a deep sigh..." Hey!" Lu Yan said as he punched me on the shoulder..." What's wrong with you?" I asked as I rubbed my shoulder..." Congratulations....on making the school team." He said..." How did you know..?" I asked.." Well I have eyes and ears all around this school.." He replied..." Yah right.." I added as I scoffed..." Id like to talk to you..." He said in a serious tone..." What's wrong?" I asked..." Let's go over to that noodle place...we can talk over lunch." He replied as I for curious about what he wanted to say..." Come on.." he added as I followed behind him.

" Thank you..." Lu Yan said to the waitress as we proceeded to have our meal..." What's it that you want to talk about?" I asked..."You should have your noodles before they get soggy.." he replied to me as I picked up my chips sticks..." Okay what is it?" I added as I placed them back down....my curiosity just couldn't let me eat..." Do you like Hana?" He asked as I got a bit surprised by his question...." Huh!" I exclaimed..." You heard me do you like Hana...?" He added as I first kept silent...." Or do you still like Kang Soora..." He added," Where is this conversation leading too?" I asked..." You can't even reply....." He continued as I started to get a bit pissed off by his attitude..." look Jeha you are my friend and so I thought that we could talk about this....but aside from you being my friend, Hana is my friend too and I can tell she is interested in you...I saw the way she was staring at you at the vacation house.....so if you are not clear enough about how you feel or if you still have that childhood crush you had on Soora then don't confuse her...." He explained...." I...." I said as he intervened...." That's all I wanted to talk about..." He concluded as he stood up to leave..." What was that?" I asked my self as I frustratingly passed my fingers through my hair...
