Hannah's POV
Hannah : I'm Hannah, a fashion blogger and author. As a daily routine, I opened my computer to see new comments in the morning.
Ah~! I had several new visitors.
Sitting on my couch, I started to read what they had written.
Follower 1 : Plz do more make up tutorials. I love your videos.
Follower 2 : Ur blog is dum. Fatty.
Follower 3 : I'm shopping at the stores u reviewed! I luv it!
Follower 4 : Thank you for being so cute! it gives me hope!
I sighed as I looked over my queue. There were still more messages. Taking a deep breath, I replied with heartfelt thanks to the kind emails, and deleted the mean one.
No use feeding the trolls, as they say.
Hannah : Alright. it's a new day, and a new path. What do I want to do?
I looked around my place, as if seeking inspiration. I knew what I needed to do, as a sort of internet style icon, I should create content for my blog. But as a normal twenty-one-year-old, I kinda wanted to do nothing. Responsibility won out in the end.
After all, I owed my livelihood to my followers.
I got a fancy name on the internet to match my quantity of life.
Hannah : My online name is..Mellochan.
Should I do an outfit of the post, a product review...? Hmmm.. or maybe announce a shopping haul post for tommorow?
At least I decided "Shopping Haul Announcement"
I loved text posts. They were lazy, but I could write them up in fifteen minutes. Quickly I jotted down what stores I wanted to visit, and the theme of my trip. Once that was done, I scheduled it to my post after noon, then went about putting my face on.
Now that I had a little time myself, I decided I wanted to go on a walk. I went about grabbing my purse, and finishing making myself look presentable, and headed out.
The hallway to the front door was quite, as usual, and I went to check my mail. Most people were out working their full time jobs around now. But as I unlocked my box, another resident walked in. She was very pretty, obviously polished girl. I vaguely remembered her name was Hisaya, or something similar. I had met her in passing when I moved in, but we had never really talked.
Hannah : Good morning.
She looked up from her phone, and her eyes gave me the once over. Then it happened, the look. I had been chubby all my life, and by now I was quite used to it. The look came in one of two ways. One, a person sees my size and is surprised by the style I dress myself in. Fat people are supposed to hide in burlap bags of course. Two, a person sees my size and is upset that I dare try to dress in trendy clothes. They think I'm inherently undeserving of it just before I'm soft and squishy.
Hisaya : Morning.
She says nothing else, and marched past me to the door. I didn't let it bother me. Being a blogger on the internet had given me some thick skin. She didn't have to like me, the important thing was that she didn't try to hurt me. I shrugged, and headed outside.
The air wasn't too warm, and there was a perfect breeze. I sighed happily to myself as I leisurely strolled down the road. Sometimes it felt like I was always going, going, going. So it was nice to slow down and just take in the beautiful city I lived in.
Bully 1 : Stop taking up so much of the sidewalk, jeeze.
I was startled out of my reverie, and looked to see two young men rush past me. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I knew what this was about.
Hannah : I donno, you seemed to get around me just fine. Have a nice day.
Bully 1 : It would have been nicer if I didn't have to see you try to squeeze into those tights.
Bully 2 : Yeah, there's not enough eye bleach in the world.
This happened every year around the start of a the college year. A whole new crop of freshman would come to town. There were guaranteed to be trouble makers and bullies in the lot. Thankfully, I had plenty of experience with dealing with the situation.
Hannah : Aw, I'm sorry that your teeeeeny-tiny little brains were overloaded so easily. I'd hate to affect your grades that I'm sure you're already struggling with.
I picked up my pace from leisurely stroll to something much faster. I walked straight between the two, catching both of them with my shoulders. That was fun thing about bullies like them, disrupt the power they think they had over you. Usually they were hard pressed to find their footing again. But even as I walked along, I couldn't stop the pick of self-consciousness trying to distract me.
What if what they said was true?
I shook my head, and the motion cause a colorful poster to catch my eye. Grateful for a distraction, I walked over to the post it was attached to.
//POSTER//
"HISTORY'S GREAT INVENTORS! NEW EXHIBIT TO THE ART AND HISTORY MUSEUM! COME SEE ANCIENT WONDERS, AND MAYBE HAVE A WISH OR TWO GRANTED.
Hmm... that sound like it could be fun. As if to punctuate my point, thunder cracked above me, and the sky darkened. I sped up once more, but I wasn't quick enough. Rain began pelting down in my hard bullets, and the wind whipped at me, pulling my hair from buns. I ran to the museum as fast as I can. By the time I traveled around the block to the museum, I was soaked. Apparently I wasn't the only one seeking shelter, a dozen of people were running there too.
At the entrance, a museum tour guide was holding the door open, motioning people in. I followed the flow of crowd, and soon I was inside where it was dry and warm.
Guide : Would you look at that strom go! Is everyone alright?
There was a member of agreements, but most of us were distracted by the outside. It looked like walls of water were slamming against the windows, and the sky was ominously inky. Occasionally, spikes of dramatic lightning would make everything go white. Thunder rumbled the floor. And on our opening day too... She heaved a sigh and then turned to us. I noticed that she looked quite crisp and professional; she probably loved her job. It was too bad that we were dripping all over the floor of her work. Well, we might as well make the best of a bad situation, right?
Guide : My name is Ikuko, I work as guide here, and I'd love to take you all on a tour.
(Name : Ikuko, Age: 25,
Height : 5'7, Museum Guide)
Guide : Free of charge! That sounds like fun, doesn't it?
There was another consensus of yesses, and before long we were shambling through the hallways. Although I was a bit chilled, I let myself enjoy the beautiful history all around me. We started off with ancient Egypt. I could tell Ikuko was incredibly enthusiastic about the subject. I enjoyed watching someone talk with their passions, there were something invigorating about it.
Ikuko : Sadly, one of the greatest repositories of history was wiped out in fire. The Great Library of Alexandria. Scientists theorize that we would be several hundred years ahead of where we are now. If it weren't for it's destruction.
Hannah : How did it catch fire?
Ikuko : It's believed it was an accident, by Ceasar's troupes during a siege.
I tried to wrap my head around the thought.
Hannah : That's... incredible. it's like there's a whole world that was just lost.
Ikuko : I think we would be surprised at how much about this Earth we know nothing about.
I nodded, and milled about, looking at each other display and reading all the text.
Ikuko : And now we'll move on to our next showcase. I think you'll all find this one quite exciting...
I was kind of half listening, preoccupied with trying to covertly snap a pic of a statue. When I got the photo I wanted for my blog, I looked up and realized I was alone. I bit my lip, and hurried after the direction I thought the group had gone. But I ended up in a darkened part of the museum.
Hannah : Ikuko?
There was no answer, so I figured I would just go back to the entrance and wait. Sure, I would miss out on some cool stuff, but at least I wouldn't get in trouble.
Unknown : Come find me...
I turned back into hall, but no one was there.
Hannah : Hello?
My voice echoed down the hall, and I cautiously took a step forward. The hair on my back of neck was standing straight up, and I felt like someone is watching me. But as far as I could tell... no one was there.
Hannah : Is something there? If this is a prank, it's not very funny.
The Unknown : ... we're over here...
I still couldn't see anyone, but I followed the voice. I eventually rounded a corner into a faintly lit room. I blinked, my eyes adjecting to the change, then looked around.
The Unknown : Over here.
I whipped around. There was still no one there. But there was something... a display case, with a small, open chest inside. Once I reached the brightly lit arrangement, I read the plaque beside it.
//PLAQUE//
Ancient Assyrian Chest, recovered from sunken ship in the Golden Age of Europe. Contains ancient sealed scroll and intricate amulet. Origin unknown.
I looked into chest, and sure enough, the items were in there. I... I wanted to touch it. Feel the cool metal in my hand. Let my eyes drink in the old text. I leaned against display, my breath fogging the glass. I hadn't been this enraptured in ages. I wanted... I wanted...
An earth shaking clap of thunder seemed to explode behind me. And I jumped.
I knocked into the display case with full force, sending it crashing to the floor. I tried to catch the tumbling stand, but it was too late. Glass hit the floor, and the contents of the chests clattered to the out.
The Unknown : FREEDOOOOM!!!
It all happened in a second. I landed a few feet away, confused and dizzy. I shook my head to clear it. My mouth dropped open. I saw two figures rising out of the swirling clouds of red and gold/sliver.
Hannah : H-h-h- how?
The red one faced me, teeth sharp in between smiling lips. He was devilishly handsome, but was oozing danger, swagger and charm.
Red one : Huh, a human. it's been a while.
The other one slowly faced me too, his features tinged golden, and much softer than his counterpart.
The Golden one : I'm sleepy. What year is it?
I couldn't think, couldn't formulate a sentence. All I knew was two oddly colored, attractive men had burst out of ancient items.
Hannah : W-w-w-hat a-are you???
The red one's grin grew even stronger, and he took a large step towards me.
The red one : What do you mean, 'What are we?' Isn't it obvious? We're Djinni, of course.
Djinni. Of course. That explained everything. Expect it didn't. What kind of strange thing had I gotta myself into? I looked up at the two beautiful men towering over me. For the first time in a long while, I had no idea what to say.
I wanted to say something... anything but my mouth refused to work. The two strange but breath taking beautiful men stared down at me, gazes unwavering.
Name : Jungkook
Djinni of Power
Age : 1700
Height : 5'11
Fueled by Fire & Passion
Name : Taehyung
Djinni of Healing
Age : 2000
Height : 5'11
Own the Purest Heart
My brain stopped working and heart pounded.
So I took the only option my panicked brain was providing. I grabbed my bag, scrambled to my feet and ran like my life depended on it... for all I know... it did. I arrived at my apartment soaking, disheveled and panting hard.
Hannah : Had that really happened? Was I going crazy? Maybe I had just been a victim of an elaborate prank?
My mind tried to rationalize it while my body went through the motions of showering. I wasn't sure how long I spent wracking my brain. But eventually I teetered on the edge of exhaustion. After finishing my shower, I laid down on my fluffy matters. Sure I'd be plagued by questions, but instead I feel into one of the deepest slumbers I'd ever had.
As soon as I closed my eyes.. I fell asleep...
Hannah : ...zZ...zZ...zZ....
I awoke with a yawn that almost cracked my jaw. Shaking my head, I looked around, my mind sloughing up my sleepiness. However...
suddenly, I noticed something and..
I SCREAMED, and scrambled to cover myself with the blankets.
Hannah : AHHHHHHHhhhhhh!
Those beautifully handsome men were in front of me.
Red one : *Smirks* I know we are impressive, but if you could keep exulation to a full roar, it'd be appreciated.
Hannah : H-h-how did you get there?
The Sliver One : You're our summoner. Until we fulfill your request, we're bound to you.
Hannah : Bound?
My eyes flicked over to my bag, which had spilled open, there was the amulet and scroll inside.
...Was u still dreaming? Was that possible? It didn't seem like it.
Hannah : Y-you guys real?
Both of them : Of course we are! What's the matter with you, woman? You act like you've never seen a Djinni before.
Hannah : That's because I haven't!
The Sliver One : You've never seen a Djinni? But we're everyw--... What year is it?
Hannah : Twenty Twenty. Your display said you were from thousands of years ago.
The Sliver One : Thousands of years? I...I think we have asleep a very long time, Jungkook.
(So Red one's name is Jungkook, Quite Beautiful just like him.. Wait- What am I thinking about?)
Jungkook : I don't believe it. Our summoner is obviously delusional. Or perhaps a witch herself. I've never seen a Pink-eyed human.
Hannah : it's called lenses, thank you so much. And you two are mystical begins that invaded my bedroom, and shouldn't exist. But you want to doubt my perspective?
The Sliver One : She does have a point. it feels... different here, doesn't it? Dry. Magicless even.
Jungkook : Hupf, perhaps it is possible, Taehyung, but what does that mean for us?
Hannah : Um, hello, I think this is more of a what-does-this-mean-for-me? This is my apartment, and my life. If you guys wouldn't mind leaving to whatever you magical sirs like to go, that'd be just peachy.
Taehyung : I apologise for any inconvenience. But if you did not want the Power of Djinni, Why did you summon us?
Hannah : I didn't! I mean, I don't think I did. I heard a voice, and I thought it was the tour guide, and the next thing I knew... You guys were POOF-ing in front of me.
Jungkook : A voice? that's it?
Taehyung : Interesting.
Hannah : That perhaps the most underwhelming way to describe it, yeah.
Jungkook : Enough parsing of words. Jungkook the Mighty does not stay where he is not wanted. Let me grant your request, and I'll be more than happy to roam the earth again. Apparently it's been a while.
Hannah : Request? What do you mean? Like a wish?
Jungkook : You think Jungkook the Mighty is a lowly wish Djinni? No, mortal. I am the embodiment of power and war! Summon me, and I will lay your enemies low! Conquer their lands! No one has defeated Jungkook, and none ever shall!
Hannah : ...That was incredibly overdramatic. and I don't really have enemies.
Jungkook : You... no enemies! What kind of kingdom is this?
Taehyung : Obviously the world has changed quite a bit.
Hannah : And what's your shtick? You make armies, or something?
Taehyung : No, of course not! I am a Healer! can close wounds, mend bones. I stave off infection and bless the birth of the next generation.
Hannah : Can you cure cancer?
Taehyung : Can... what?
Hannah : Of course. Welp, I have no use for either of you, so you can just go now.
Jungkook : That's not how it works, little witch girl! As we said, we're bound to you! We cannot leave your side until we fulfill our duty to you!
Taehyung : Jungkook... this must be a shock to her-
Jungkook : Be quiet. Your diplomacy will get us nowhere. You witch girl, make a request!
Ever since these two had erupted from their vessels, I had been terrified. But I had been bullied too much as a kid, and Jungkook's tone rubbed me wrong. I stood on my mattress, dropping the covers as we stood face to face.
Hannah : Now listen here, you red-tinged bully! This is my place, and you will not speak to me or silver boy like that! You understood?
To my surprise, the confident Djinni wouldn't meet my gaze. A blush covered his cheeks. I looked over to Taehyung, to see that he had turned around completely.
Suddenly, I felt self-conscious.
Hannah : ...Was it something I said?
The two were quiet for a moment, and the awkwardness seemed to hand in the air.
Finally, Jungkook cleared his throat and tried to look my way, but ended up staring just above me.
