"Oi Minyoon!" Junho called for his grandson. "When is the new babysitter coming in? We gotta meet up with Bomi before midnight!"

"She's here already," Minyoon replied. He was in his bedroom, wondering which jacket to wear for the occasion. Apparently, his grandfather's old acquaintance had returned from an overseas exorcism mission and was ready to meet them that night. The man had told Minyoon to come as well but they could not take Miyoo with them. Yoonmin was out for an urgent meeting so they urgently needed a babysitter.

Fortunately, Minyoon had managed to hire a permanent babysitter for Miyoo.

"Should I wear the pink one to match my hair?" he wondered out loud. Junho, irritated by his grandson's tardiness, burst into the room.

"You're not going to a fashion show!" he snapped. "Just wear anything!"

"Old man, this face makes money," Minyoon grinned, checking out his beautiful face in the mirror. "I need to look good even when I sleep. What if some fan clicks my photo and posts it on social media? I can make money just for sleeping like a handsome prince-"

"How much money will one picture of your face sell for?" Junho asked. "I need a new TV set for my room."

Before Minyoon could reply, the doorbell rang. Miyoo, who was out in the living room watching cartoons on her brother's tablet, looked up. Junho opened the door to find Soobin standing there, looking very excited. 

"Hello grandpa!" she claimed. "Minmin hired me to babysit his sister!"

"Is that Soobin?" Minyoon asked, coming out of the room. He chose a flaming red jacket for the meeting. 

"I'm here!" Soobin exclaimed cheerfully. 

"Aren't you working at a restaurant?" Junho frowned. "Can you handle two jobs while juggling school work?"

"I'm very good at working multiple jobs!" Soobin said excitedly. "I used to run a babysitting club back in my hometown and also worked at the local restaurant at night! And my grades are always good so I can manage!"

She looked very determined to do the job. Even little Miyoo was watching from afar, curious about the stranger. Junho let Soobin in while Minyoon gave her the details.

"Thanks for accepting my job offer," he said. "This is the list of Miyoo's requirements."

He handed her a small paper. Soobin read the one short sentence written on it.

"It only says that she goes to bed at 8 PM," she said. "What about food and other things?"

"She doesn't care," Junho said. "She'll eat anything, anytime. Besides, if she gets bored, she'll tell you what she wants to do on her own. But she doesn't talk much so you'll have to look out for some signs of what she wants to communicate."

"Like if she bites your thigh, it means she's scared or it's a danger sign," Minyoon stated.

"Danger?" Soobin echoed.

"Yes," Junho nodded. "And if she follows you around, it means she wants attention."

"If you're busy, then give her a penny and she'll be happy for the rest of her life," Minyoon added. "The penny jar is in Yoonmin's room upstairs. It's the obsessively neat one with business books on the shelves. That's it, really!"

"Thigh bite means danger and give her pennies if she wants too much attention!" Soobin memorized. "Got it!"

"If anything comes up, call us," Junho instructed. "Minyoon texted you our numbers, right?"

"Yes!" Soobin exclaimed. "I have everyone's numbers! Leave it to me!"

"If Miyoo gives you a star, it means she likes you," Minyoon added. 

She nodded. The men bid her farewell and left the house, leaving Miyoo and Soobin alone. Soobin turned to Miyoo to bond with her.

"Miyoo, right?" she asked cheerfully. "I'm a friend of Minmin's! My name is Soobin and I'll be taking care of you tonight. Are you fine with it?"

Miyoo blinked at her as if trying to remember where she had seen this girl before…

"Yoonie," she mumbled. "Laptop."

Soobin was confused by what she meant but Miyoo went back to her tablet. The little girl finally remembered where she had seen the girl. Her elder bro, Yoonmin, was gazing at Soobin's social media picture a few days ago and Miyoo saw it. 

"Do you want to drink something?" Soobin asked. "Or do you want to eat something? Are you hungry?"

Miyoo seemed to be thinking for a while before replying, "Egg rice."

"Okay!" Soobin agreed. "I can make really good egg rice! You wanna see?"

She was expecting Miyoo to refuse but to her pleasant surprise, the little girl sat up and nodded. Her face was deadpan but her eyes were beaming with excitement. Soobin carried the child in her arms and they went to the open kitchen. She put Miyoo on the counter top and began to scavenge the fridge for the ingredients.

"Let's make egg rice!" Soobin beamed. "But don't touch anything, okay?"

Miyoo nodded and watched as Soobin expertly mixed the eggs before frying them on a pan. She put in some cooked sticky rice in the middle of the partly fried egg and seasoned it with spices and meat before flipping the egg. Finally, she put it on a plate and put it on a table. She then placed Miyoo on a chair before handing her a spoon.

"How is it?" Soobin asked, sitting next to her. Miyoo took a spoonful of  the Egg Rice into her mouth. For a moment she did not say anything but began to search in her pockets. Soobin watched as the child took out a sticker set and pulled out a star. Miyoo leaned forward and stuck it on Soobin's face.

"Star!" Miyoo declared. 

"Yaii!" Soobin exclaimed. "I love it already!"

She watched Miyoo finish off her plate like a good girl. Thankfully, it was not so hard to babysit the girl and Minyoon was paying Soobin a good amount too. But Soobin genuinely liked the child whose antics were just too cute.

After dinner, they went back to the living room where Soobin placed Miyoo on the sofa.

"I'll open the window a little," Soobin said. "The fresh air will feel good."

Miyoo watched as Soobin walked towards the window. But Miyoo's eyes widened in fear.

Right outside the window, a bald and burnt poltergeist was looking into the house as if searching for someone. The naked figure was holding a huge rock and aimed at the window.

Miyoo quickly sprang off the sofa and ran towards Soobin but she tripped. Miyoo's whimper caused Soobin to turn around and rush towards the little girl. She stooped down to tend to her.

"What happened?" Soobin asked in shock. "Are you hurt?"

To her surprise, Miyoo bit her knee. The little girl was suddenly very scared as if she had seen a scary ghost. Soobin was bewildered by the change in her and worried that something was wrong.

"Miyoo, what-"

CRASH!

The sound of breaking glass echoed throughout the apartment. Broken glass shards flew everywhere and instinctively, Soobin shielded Miyoo with her body. Something heavy hit Soobin's head and blood gushed out of her skull as she fell on the floor with Miyoo pinned underneath her arms.

…..

"I told you, we'll not be investing in that venture," Yoonmin was saying on his phone. His meeting had ended early and he was outside his apartment, talking to his secretary. "They're not-"

His words were interrupted by the loud screams of a child crying. Alarmed, he hung up his phone.

"Miyoo?" he cried. He punched in the passcode and barged into the apartment only to be shocked by the sight in front of him.

Miyoo was crying loudly, sitting in a pool of blood and broken glass while a girl lay unconscious on the floor.

"Binbin!" Miyoo called. "Binbin!"

Yoonmin quickly picked up his sister with one hand and with the other, rolled the unconscious girl over. 

It was Soobin.
