"Miyoo saw something scary at your shooting?" Junho asked. "Again?"

"Yeah!" Minyoon replied. They were at the penthouse's patio, discussing the recent events. As soon as they reached home, Minyoon put up extra charms around the house and put Miyoo to sleep. His manager called him several times to demand an explanation for halting the shoot but he ignored the calls. Instead, he told Junho to come back home as soon as possible.

"But we've already gotten rid of Rachel," Junho frowned. "And I'm sure there are no other entities around here."

"I know. I asked Miyoo before entering the house if she saw it following us but she shook her head. It seems that the thing is only at the studio."

Now Junho was worried. What did Miyoo see there? A ghost? A demon? And why?

"I'll have to go there and find out," he said. 

"I'll go with you," Minyoon offered. "I called Soobin and she'll be here any moment. Yoonmin is coming over too. They'll take care of her."

At that very moment, the doorbell rang. Minyoon opened the door and to his surprise, Soobin was not alone.

"Hi Minmin!" Sera greeted while Soobin looked a little apologetic.

"I'm sorry to ask this but can Sera also help me out today?" Soobin requested. "Her parents aren't home and her brother is also out. She didn't want to be alone in the house so she asked me if she could join me in babysitting Miyoo."

"Uh…"

Minyoon was not sure about that because he did not know Sera so well. But she seemed harmless.

"Sure," Junho said from the back. "The more the merrier!"

Sera nervously glanced at Minyoon's grandfather. She never met him in person but had heard a lot about him from Soobin.

"Hello," she greeted. 

Junho smiled and nodded. He picked up his jacket and turned to Minyoon.

"Let's go," he said. "It'll be empty now, right?"

"I think so," Minyoon replied. He turned to the girls and added, "We'll be back by midnight. Remember, the first aid kit is in my room and to bathe Miyoo when she wakes up!"

"Bye!" Soobin bid them farewell. The men left the house to the girls. 

As soon as they were gone, Sera plopped on a couch and stretched her limbs.

"Thank god they're gone!" she exclaimed. "Let's have some fun! Should we check out Minyoon's room?"

"No!" Soobin said. "I have to take care of Miyoo. And Yoonmin will be here too. I'll make dinner."

At that very moment, a small figure came shuffling out of one of the rooms. Miyoo was carrying her stuffed bunny and yawning widely. 

"Binbin," she mumbled. "Egg rice."

"Is that Yoonmin's sister?" Sera asked.

"Yep!" 

Soobin picked up Miyoo in her arms. "I should help her wash up and then make dinner for her," she sighed.

"I'll make it!" Sera offered. Soobin hesitated.

"Are you sure? She's very picky."

"It's just egg rice!" Sera laughed. "I'm sure she'll be fine."

Without another word, Sera headed towards the kitchen to make dinner. Soobin was not sure whether to let her in the kitchen or not but Miyoo also needed to have a bath…

"Let's trust her on this," Soobin murmured and took Miyoo to the bathroom.

After bathing Miyoo, Soobin helped her to dress up and dried her hair. Miyoo was now pouting, feeling very hungry. After seeing the strange goat-like creature at the studio, she was tired and hungry. 

"Egg rice," she said. 

"Yes, Sera is the one cooking tonight," Soobin told her. "I'm sure it'll be delicious."

Miyoo was not sure about that. She preferred the egg rice Soobin made and for some reason, she did not like the other girl who came to watch over her. Soobin did not seem to have noticed her doubts and carried her to the dining room.

As soon as they stepped out of the bedroom, Soobin could smell something burning.

"What in the world?" she muttered. A heavy smoke engulfed them and both of them were coughing. Instinctively, she covered Miyoo's nose and took her to the living room.

"Stay here!" she told the girl and ran into the kitchen. 

Sera was at the stove, holding a pan. Smoke emitted from it and Soobin saw hints of fiery sparks on it.

"Soobin, it got burnt!" Sera cried, unsure of what to do. Soobin rushed forward and pushed her out of the way. Instantly, she turned off the stove and opened a drawer to take out a long cloth. Using it, she put out the sparks which were burning the egg in the pan.

Sera was scared stiff as she watched Soobin put out the fire. She was numb and shocked at the outcome.

"What the hell happened here?"

Both of them looked around to find Yoonmin standing at the kitchen's entrance, surprised to see the smoke.

"I...I…" Sera stammered. He did not say anything and stepped past her, walking towards Soobin.

"Are you alright?" he asked, his voice shaking with worry. "Are you hurt?"

He was checking her hands to make sure they were not burnt or injured.

"I'm okay!" she assured him. "So is Miyoo. But…" 

She turned to Sera. "Are you alright?" she asked. 

To her shock, Sera's hands were slightly burnt. Before Soobin could take a look at them, Sera turned away.

"I'll take care of it!" she claimed. "Where's the first aid kit?"

"It's inside Minyoon's room," Yoonmin stated. "It's right across the hall. I'll get it-"

"I can get it!" 

Sera sped off to tend to her injuries. Soobin wanted to run after her but Yoonmin stopped her.

"Let her go," he advised. "She's probably a little embarrassed for creating such a mess."

"Yeah…"

They opened the windows to let the smoke out and turned on the fans before going back to the living room. Miyoo was a little red eyed due to the smoke so Soobin washed her face again and gave her a glass of water to drink. The little girl gulped it all down in a go.

"Why is Sera here?" Yoonmin asked.

"Her parents are out and she didn't want to be alone," Soobin sighed. "She insisted on making egg rice for us but I didn't know this would happen…"

"I'll place an order for Chinese food," he suggested. Miyoo was now cranky.

"Egg rice!" she insisted. "Egg rice!"

Soobin was at a loss about what to do. Luckily, her boyfriend knew exactly how to calm his sister down.

"I'll give you three pennies if you're quiet for the next hour," Yoonmin said in a flat tone. That shut Miyoo up instantly. She obediently waited for the grown ups to handle dinner plans.

"You're a genius!" Soobin gaped.

"It's a Hwang thing," he smirked and called the Chinese restaurant to place their orders. Soobin glanced at Minyoon's room where Sera was tending to her wounds.

I hope she's okay, she thought.

Inside Minyoon's room, Sera was busy taking pictures of the place. She kept on glancing behind her to make sure that Yoonmin and Soobin were not watching her. Once she made sure that the coast was clear, she opened the walk-in closet and took pictures of his belongings. She also checked his desk, clicking pictures of his notebooks and compositions. 

"What else…"

She flipped through some old family photos of him where he was seen with his family, enjoying pizzas and burgers. Sera quickly scanned the photos using her phone and put them back to their place.

"That should do," she said and proceeded to send all the pictures to someone. Once she sent it, a call came to her number.

"Sera!" 

Miho's sweet voice came from the other end. 

"Thank you so much for doing so much for me!" Miho exclaimed. "I...I can't thank you enough."

"My pleasure!" Sera grinned. "Can I sit with your group at lunch now?"

"What's the hurry?" Miho laughed. "You still have to help me win over Minmin! I'm sure you can do it. After all, you're best friends with his brother's girlfriend!"

Sera pursed her lips. The sight of Yoonmin rushing to aid Soobin instead of her was still fresh in her mind.

"Make her set up a date between me and Minyoon," Miho instructed. "This weekend."

"But how?" Sera asked. "I-"

"I'm sure you can do it!" Miho said sweetly. "Bye bye!"

With that, Miho hung up. Sera was staring at her phone, feeling irritated. After school ended, Miho approached Sera outside and requested her to get pictures of Minyoon's room for her. In return, Sera could join Miho's group and be friends with them. 

Out of desperation, Sera agreed and made up an excuse to accompany Soobin that night. Since Soobin would not let her enter Minyoon's room earlier, Sera deliberately burnt her hands to gain access to it under the pretense of getting first aid for her injury. 

But how the hell am I gonna set up this date? She fumed. Then an idea struck her.

"I'll have to trick them into it," she decided.
