There's a Ghost in My House

Jaehyun lately has a suspicion that there is a ghost in their house.

He always has a habit of taking a pee in the middle of the night. But lately, he is sure he heard some noises in the kitchen. He is quite sure he heard sounds coming from the kitchen for three days consecutively. He is not a coward. He is not.

His Daddy said Jaehyun is a big boy already! He is seven years old, he sure is a big boy! He just can't check what the sound is all alone. What if the ghost kidnapped him or something? That's why he decides to recruit Jibeom, his ugly twin.

"Jibeom-ah, wake up please, I beg you!" Jaehyun try to wake his brother and whispering urgently. He needs to pee!

"Arggh what is it? Can't you pee by yourself? You coward!" Jibeom groans having his sweet dream interrupted by his brother.

"You have to protect me, I told you about the ghost Jibeom-ah! I can't go all alone!" Jaehyun whines and pats his brother's cheek to wake him up better.

"I told you, you are just imagining things! Tell me again who mistook Papa's standee as a thief?" Yes, their Papa brought his real life size standee to their house because he is weird like that.

"Well that was the first time I saw his standee inside the house, oh come on Jibeom I have to pee!" Jaehyun starts to move frantically in his place, holding in his pee.

"Ugh, alright. If there is nothing in the kitchen, I swear..." Jibeom finally get up while grumbling with a heavy eyelid.

You see, their bedroom is on the second floor along with their parent's bedroom. They actually have a bathroom both on the second floor and on the first floor, but the toilet on the second floor is clogged and they haven't repaired it yet because their Papa is in the middle of his busiest shooting for his new reality show. So they have to go to the bathroom on the first floor.

The bathroom is on the left of the stair leading to the second floor, and the kitchen is on the opposite side. That's why Jaehyun could hear the sound coming from the kitchen, but he didn't have enough courage to check what was going on in the kitchen. It was in the middle of the night for God's sake.

Jibeom doesn't believe one bit that whatever Jaehyun hears is a ghost. Jaehyun has a habit of daydreaming after all. But he knows Jaehyun won't lie. Maybe there was really a sound coming from the kitchen so he decides to play along, because there is a chance it is an alien! Jibeom can't believe how his twin decides a ghost is more probable than an alien. Alien is real! Ghost is not!

Jibeom following Jaehyun inside the toilet and wait for him to finish peeing already (what is this boy drinking really, he always take a long time when peeing. And why he always drink before sleeping Jibeom will never understand). Finally Jaehyun finished his peeing and they come out from the bathroom together.

Right when they close the bathroom door, they can hear sounds coming from the kitchen. They look at each other alarmingly, Jaehyun immediately whispers urgently while grasping Jibeom's hand.

"You hear that?! I told you it's a ghost!"

"Calm down, Jaehyun! I told you, maybe it's an alien!" Jibeom whispers back excitedly.

"Come on, let's check what it is!" Jibeom holds Jaehyun's hand and they walk slowly towards the kitchen holding hands really closely.

All of the light is out in the kitchen so they can't see clearly, but they can see a tall white thing moving about in the kitchen. The white thing actually opens the refrigerator and the startling light from the refrigerator is the cue for them to run for their life.

"AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They scream and run as fast as they can to their bedroom.

Jaehyun and Jibeom are huddled up in Jibeoms's bed together under the blanket. They always do that when they are scared. Their parents always wonder why they always huddled up in Jibeom's bed and not Jaehyun's. But it's not like the twins have a reason either, they just did it out of habit.
