Most demons that go to the demon realm are grown people
Teenagers, adults, and in some cases even elderly people end up in the demon realm. Whether it be for doing horrible things while their time on Earth or making a deal with Gwi-Ma
There hasn't been any cases of young children ever going into the demon realm or ever making a deal with Gwi-Ma, ever. Well that the demons knew of obviously

Today was Miracle's first day at kindergarten
Romance was adjusting her uniform, making sure it didn't have any wrinkles or loose fabric strings while Mystery did her hair
When Miracle's hair started growing in, they all discuss on how they should keep it (because a lot of them don't know how to do hair, especially on a child). They all agreed on leaving it short, like a bob type of hairstyle, it was the easiest one to manage for all of them (even Abby, thank Satan)
Romance fixed up her socks as Mystery finally brushed out all the small tangles in her hair
"Oh you look so adorable sweetheart!" Romance squealed in excitement as he clapped at himself "We need to take a picture of this! Jinu come quick!" He yelled out for Jinu, who was upstairs
"Alright alright, you seem more excited than Miracle is" Jinu jokingly replied, going down the stairs as he held Miracle's backpack
"Oh don't say that! She's hyped for this!" Romance responded back, while Miracle made grabby hands towards her backpack which prompted Jinu to softly chucked as he handed the backpack off to her
Abby and Baby came down as well, with Abby holding the car keys in his hand and Baby drinking an energy drink (at 7:30 in the morning...)
"Alright party people, let's go!" Abby exclaimed while letting out a "woohoo" sound at the end of his sentence
"Abby, we're going to drop off Miracle at kindergarten, not a road trip" Jinu responded
"Wow Jinu, your such a party-pooper" Abby complained
"What-"
"Yeah, such a party-pooper" Baby interrupted with a smirk on his face, he obviously wanted to tease them both
"Wha- yknow what, let's just go before they mark Miracle late" Jinu sighed in defeat as he walked over to the car

Miracle was dropped off in front of the small building with a teacher's assistant, who would show her around the small school
Her and the teacher's assistant walked around the hallway as the assistant tried to make some small talk
"So, i heard your name was Miracle, am i right?" She asked in a gentle tone
"Mhm" Miracle nodded, holding onto the straps on her backpack
"That's a very unique and beautiful name" She said with a warm smile
"Thank you" Miracle responded back
The assistant brought her over to her classroom with another teacher, she walked into the classroom as the teacher got the other children's attention to her
"Everyone listen up! We have a new student joining us today, her name is Miracle" The teacher announced to the other kids as they all stared at her
Miracle stared back with her wide, innocent eyes. Scanning through all of them curiously
"Now, i expect you all to treat Miracle with kindness alright? Feel free to play with her!" The teacher said as she signaled Miracle to sit down in a nearby table filled with other kids
Miracle sat down at the table with the other kids, all looking at her curiously
"So your name is Miracle? Mine's Min-jun" A young boy said, he had a little smile on his face
"Im Won-ho, but you can call me Won" Another young boy replied
"I like your eyes, im Eun-ji!" A young girl said as she admired Miracle's eyes
"Thanks..." Miracle quietly answered back, she felt a little shy meeting other kids but she tried to seem confident
Another girl from their table giggled as she spoke up "Eun-ji, don't forget about her cute hair!" She excitedly said with a big smile
Miracle's eyes suddenly stared back at the young girl who spoke up, she didn't mean to do it on purpose, her body automatically just did that
"Oh sorry, i forgot to introduce myself. My name is Seon-mi!" The young girl smiled warmly at Miracle
"...Seon-mi..." Miracle muttered under her breath, she was still stuck looking at Seon-mi like a predator observing its prey, she eventually was able to properly blink and break out of that trance but it felt so... addictive...?
Before any of the kids could say something else, the teacher spoke up to the class
"Alright everyone, let's start with our arts and crafts!" The teacher announced, all of the kids looking up at her in anticipation
Miracle listened to the teacher's words but was mostly focused on finding an answer on why she reacted that way when Seon-mi spoke up, she desperately wanted to know, like urgently for some reason. She couldn't stop thinking about Seon-mi

It was now lunch time
The kids were outside the building while they ate lunch and played in the small little playground behind the small school building
Miracle was eating her sandwich with the kids from the table on the playground, her legs were dangling from where she was sitting
The four kids were all talking together while Miracle stayed quiet, continuing to eat her lunch
The reason she was so quiet was because her head was just filled with Seon-mi, she couldn't wipe her off her mind at all. She tried thinking about her favorite cartoons, it didn't work. She tried to think about her stuffed animals, it didn't work. For Satan's sake, she even tried thinking about her dads, on how they would pick her up from school and dote over her all day, but it still didn't work. She was getting more and more mad by the minute, she couldn't stand this, she just wanted Seon-mi to disappear forever and never come back, no better yet, she wanted her dead-
"Miracle are you okay? Your getting your hands dirty" A voice interrupts her thoughts, it was Won-ho (or in Miracle's mind, Won-Won)
"Sorry... Uhm, i need to go to the restroom" Miracle quietly blurted out, noticing the fact that her nails were digging into her sandwich, leaving melted cheese on her nails and her finger-tips
"I'll come with you!" Seon-mi responded, still smiling innocently
Miracle's eyes slightly widened "With m-me...?" She quietly asked
"Of course! You need a buddy to go to the restroom with you!" Seon-mi responded back
"Oh... Oh alright..." Miracle replied back while she involuntarily gave her a small smile
-
The both of them went over to the girls restroom, it wasn't too big or too small, it was the size of a normal bedroom (or from Miracle's mind, her dads' recording studio)
Miracle went inside the stall while Seon-mi was in front of the door, almost like guarding it just in case someone came in
For some reason, Miracle felt as if her mind just turned off and went into lock-in mode, because as soon as she "finished" doing her business in the stall, she slammed the door open and went for Seon-mi's head
Before Seon-mi could process what was going on, she was shoved roughly onto the floor while what felt like sharp needles were biting off her scalp
The reality was, "Miracle" was penetrating her sharp canines onto Seon-mi's head, trying to suck out her soul from the back of her head. She had her left leg on Seon-mi back so she couldn't even breathe or scream for help
It almost took about two and a half minutes for "Miracle" to finally crack her skull open and extract Seon-mi soul from her body to "Miracle's" mouth. "Miracle" could taste sweet strawberry frosting with hints of honey travelling down her throat as the blood from Seon-mi's head flowed out of her body and onto the floor as if someone dropped a glass of water onto the floor
"Miracle" stood up from Seon-mi's body and immediately dragged her over to the only stall that said had a "stall broken" sign on the door, she threw her body on the toilet, making sure her tiny legs weren't peeking out and exited the stall
Luckily her clothes weren't stained with blood at all so "Miracle's" mind turned off again as Miracle was outside the restroom now, her uniform looked more wrinkly than what Romance had originally had sent her in, but Jinu would probably excuse her for "just playing around"
...
It was now pick-up time, where all the kids would get picked up by their parents and sent home for the day
Miracle waited patiently for one of her dads to pick her up, still sitting at the same table but something was different, there was one chair that hadn't been sat on by anybody
"Hmm, i wonder where Seon-mi is..." Min-jun sighed
"Yeah, i haven't seen her since lunch" Won-ho noted
"Maybe she got picked up earlier, her mom sometimes does that" Eun-ji responded "Isn't that right Miracle?" She asked Miracle, because of the fact that she had earlier said she was the last person to see Seon-mi
"Mhm, i saw her mom, she's pretty" Miracle quietly replied back, she answered back rather faster than usual
Before any of the kids could talk to Miracle more, the teacher announced out-loud
"Miracle Saja? Your dad's here to pick you up" The teacher declared
Miracle felt some relief in her mind as she grabbed her backpack, awkwardly waved goodbye to the kids at the table and went over to the hallway
She saw Jinu just behind the classroom door as he finished signing the pick-up paper and waved goodbye to the teacher, he warmly smiled as he picked up and placed her on his hip while walking back to the car
"Hey sweetie, have a good day at school today?" Jinu asked in a gentle tone
"Mhm, i played at the playground" Miracle replied back
"That's great sweetheart, did you make any new friends?" He asked as he brushed a hair off her forehead
"Hmm, Min-jun, Won-ho, Eun-ji and..." Miracle explains as if going through a list as she stops herself suddenly
"And...?" Jinu waited on her answer curiously
"Mm nobody else actually, just them three" Miracle corrected herself as she still held onto Jinu's shirt
Jinu softly chuckled as he held her a little tighter "Don't worry honey, daddy understands. How about i get you some ice cream before we pick up Romance from his meeting? He's really excited to learn about your first day today" Jinu explained while opening the car door
"Mmm okay" Miracle confirmed as she placed in her car seat and strapped in
Jinu smiled warmly at her again as he kissed her on the forehead, he went over to the driver's seat and started to drive over to pick up Romance from his meeting
Miracle continued to look out the window, feeling much better now that Seon-mi was out of her mind and gone (for good), her demon patterns slightly glowing from them processing Seon-mi's soul into her body.... For more souls to come...
