Duho was panting hard as he stared at himself in the mirror. His forehead was matted with sweat and he stood in the middle of the dimly lit room, scared of what was going on. He woke up that morning with a blood stained shirt and several bee stings on his hand. His mind was fuzzy and he could recall what he did the last night.
"What the fuck?" he exclaimed. He stared at his yellow t-shirt which was now tainted with the scarlet blood. How did this happen?
"I was at Soobin's cafe," he recalled. "Yes. I was standing outside her cafe and was about to enter but after that, I blacked out. And I ended up here…"
Duho was now scared and nervous. No matter how hard he tried, he could not recollect his memories after he blacked out. What did I do? He wondered in panic.
Suddenly, his ears were buzzing with whispers. He looked around to see if anyone was in his flat but there was no one. Even the TV was switched off. Yet, he could hear the whispers of someone with a nasal voice.
"Get your heart's desire…" the voice whispered in his ears. "I can give them to you…"
"Who's there?" Duho demanded but the voices stopped. Everything was clear and silent once again.
…..
That night, Soobin was babysitting Miyoo again. Junho had gone to check Jina's apartment and afterwards, he would visit his friend, Bomi for some work. Minyoon was away at a shooting while Yoonmin was at an important meeting but he had promised that he was going to return soon. It was only Miyoo and her in the penthouse.
"Done?" Soobin asked Miyoo once the child had finished dinner. Soobin had cooked tuna soup and mushroom salad that night which Miyoo relished a lot. Miyoo nodded.
"Good girl!" Soobin complimented her. "You're so easy to babysit. I don't know why grandpa Junho said that you get cranky."
"Miyoo good," the child agreed, making Soobin smile. She washed the dishes and put them away when the doorbell rang.
That must be Yoonmin, Soobin thought with a slight blush. After the disastrous summer festival, it was going to be the first time they would spend some time together. Soobin would be lying if she claimed that she was not looking forward to their relationship but she was also too shy to admit it.
But Miyoo froze in her seat. She felt strange and fidgeted in her seat. Something was not right and she could feel it. Slowly, she turned her attention towards Soobin, who was about to open the front door.
"No!"
Miyoo ran towards her and jumped to Soobin's thigh, slightly biting it.
"Huh?" Soobin blinked in surprise. That was Miyoo's way of saying that she was scared. The twins and grandpa Junho had given her specific instructions that whenever Miyoo did that, she must listen to the girl no matter what.
"Don't," Miyoo said in a small tone. "Don't."
"Don't do what, Miyoo?" Soobin asked. Miyoo could not express it properly but there was a look of genuine dread on her face as if she was trying to warn Soobin.
The doorbell rang again and Miyoo only held her thigh hard. Her eyes were on the door as if she sensed danger lurking there. Soobin was confused because she did not feel any such thing but then, her eyes went to the small space between the door and the floor. Her eyes widened in shock.
Even though the doorbell was ringing, there was no shadow of a person behind the door.
Gulping hard, Soobin picked up a baseball bat which was kept in an umbrella stand near the door.
"Miyoo, stay behind me!" she whispered. The doorbell was now getting louder and more frequent as if the person behind the door was getting impatient.
"Don't…" Miyoo begged. Soobin did not open the door but raised the baseball bat higher.
The doorbells had stopped and an eerie silence had fallen around them. Soobin did not dare to open the door but she stepped forward to peer through the peephole.
"Binbin…" Miyoo was now crying, scared of what was going to happen. Soobin took out her phone and dialed Yoonmin's number. She gave the phone to Miyoo.
"Miyoo, if anything happens, tell Yoonmin to come here as fast as possible, okay?" Soobin instructed her. Miyoo nodded and Soobin turned towards the door again. She was shaking as she looked through the hole.
"Hello?" Yoonmin's voice came out of the phone's speaker. "Soobin? What's going on?"
Soobin did not immediately reply but was observing the situation outside. There was no one there but she kept on staring through the hole in case someone turned up. Maybe I'm hallucinating, she thought.
Suddenly, a red pupil appeared out of nowhere, startling her.
"AHHHHH!" screamed and fell backwards. Miyoo rushed to her side and there were loud bangs on the door. Both the girls were scared while Yoonmin's voice was heard through the phone.
"Soobin, what's going on?" he demanded. He heard her scream but she was not answering him. "Soobin? SOOBIN?"
Yoonmin was now scared. What was going on? He heard the loud banging on the front door as if someone was trying to break it down. He heard Soobin and Miyoo cry out loud, both of them in grave danger.
"Yoonie!" Miyoo's voice came through the phone. "Door! Door!"
Before she could say anything else, the phone was disconnected. Yoonmin stood up from his seat. He was in the middle of an investor's meeting and everyone of the attendees were shocked to see him so scared.
"I'll have to end this meeting here!" he declared. "My secretary will give you the new schedule!"
With that, he ran out of the meeting room and headed straight for the parking lot. He did not even bother to take the elevator but ran all the way from the eleventh floor using the stairs. Getting into the car, he stepped hard on the pedal, not caring about any laws as he drove off. After hearing Soobin's screams and Miyoo's panicked warnings, nothing else mattered to him.
He took out his phone and called his sister.
"What is it, Yoonmin?" Jina asked.
"Sis, drop everything and go to the penthouse, now!"
"Huh? Why? And I hear the car's engine! Are you driving?"
"I don't have time!" he exclaimed. "Soobin and Miyoo are in danger! Go there, now!"
Hearing that, Jina did not waste another second.
"I'm coming!" she said and hung up. Yoonmin sped past the traffic to reach home at all costs.
Please be safe, he prayed. Just be safe and sound!
