Babysitting Duties || SelfPara
Taking care of a child was weird. It was one of those rare times she had responsibilities in caring for a living young girl. Usually, she would refuse such things, simply because she was afraid of being so near someone so early in their life. Babies, toddlers, young children...she avoided them all, fearing that someone like her will jinx them and accidentally cause something unfortunate.
After Hara and Minho had left to the hospital, the reaper settled in the couch, watching whatever was on T.V. She knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep, knowing she had to take care of Mijin, and so she indulged herself with the food and snacks in the Choi’s residence. Eating and sleeping was a luxury hobby for her, it wasn’t necessary for someone like her. It did bother her friends though when she didn’t eat, despite telling them that it wouldn’t matter, so she would eat something for them.
Soon, morning arrived, the natural sunlight peeking through the curtains. The sound of small footsteps reached her ears first and Luna turned her head to see the young girl. She checked the time. It was quite early. “Auntie Luna?” Mijin said, blinking at her. “Where’s mama?” Ah, yes. Hara tell her what to say when she asked. “Your mother and father are doing boring adult stuff like going grocery shopping. I will be here until they come back,” she replied word by word then inquired. “Would you like some breakfast, Mijin?” The girl nodded and Luna stood up, walking to the kitchen together with her.
Luna warmed up two blueberry muffins then poured a glass of orange juice, placing the items before the little girl. “There you go. Make sure to eat well.” She sat down across from Mijin to watch her eat. The girl started to eat then paused moments later, staring back. “Are you not eating, Auntie Luna?” Her mouth opened to reply but was immediately cut off. “Mama said that breakfast is super important! Didn’t mama tell you that? So you need to eat too!” Mijin scolded with a pout. Her eyes widen at Mijin’s words. Well, Hara did say she had the sass from Minho.
A laugh left her lips as she got up to get a blue muffin and a glass of orange juice for herself. She returned back to her seat and there was a satisfied nod from Mijin before she went back to eating. Luna shook her head at this with a small smile, an image of Hara coming to mind. She started to eat the blueberry muffin, watching Mijin with great interest.
