Episode 3 Things She Shouldn't Know

My Girlfriend is Not a Human – Episode 3: "Things She Shouldn’t Know"

---

Opening – The “Not a Normal Morning” Morning

8:00 AM.

Ubaid woke up to the smell of… pancakes? He lived alone. He didn’t own a pancake pan. He barely even knew how to make tea without burning it.

Cautiously, he opened his bedroom door.

There she was — Kim. In his kitchen. Wearing his hoodie. Flipping pancakes with one hand while scrolling her phone with the other.

“Uh… good morning?” Ubaid said.

Kim didn’t look up. “Good morning. Sit. Eat.”

Ubaid sat. “How did you even get in here?”

“You gave me your spare key.”

“I did NOT give you my spare key.”

She looked at him and smiled. “You must have forgotten.”

He checked the table — pancakes, coffee, and perfectly cut fruit. Ubaid had never seen fruit cut like that. The edges were so precise they looked… engineered.

He took a bite. “This is amazing. Where did you learn to cook?”

“Nowhere. I’ve just… always known.”

Weird Conversation

Halfway through breakfast, Kim casually said:

“So, you’re going to be late for work because of the traffic accident near Han River Bridge.”

Ubaid froze. “What? How do you know that?”

“It just happened.”

“But… I didn’t check the news yet. How do you—”

She cut him off with a shrug. “Lucky guess.”

Suspicious. Very suspicious.

Tariq’s Conspiracy Upgrade

On the bus to work, Ubaid called Tariq.

“Bro, she cooked pancakes in my house without me telling her how to get in. Also, she predicted a traffic jam before it was on the news.”

Tariq gasped. “She’s reading your mind! Next she’ll know your Netflix password.”

“She probably already does.”

“Bro, this is classic alien girlfriend behavior.”

“There’s no such thing as classic alien girlfriend behavior.”

“There is now. I just invented it.”

Random Hero Moment

After work, Ubaid was walking with Kim through a busy street market. Vendors shouting, music blasting, people everywhere. Suddenly — CRASH! — a huge wooden signboard broke loose from a shop and started falling toward a little kid.

Before Ubaid could react, Kim dashed forward at inhuman speed, grabbed the sign mid-air, and set it down gently. No one saw clearly except Ubaid — everyone else just thought she happened to be standing close.

“You okay?” Kim asked the kid with a sweet smile.

The kid nodded, wide-eyed.

Ubaid pulled her aside. “That was… fast.”

“Adrenaline,” she said simply.

“Adrenaline doesn’t make you break the sound barrier!”

She tilted her head. “You’re exaggerating.”

Comedy Roast Interlude

They stopped at a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes. Ubaid bought two. He handed one to Kim, but she didn’t eat it.

“Not hungry?”

“I don’t like sweet things.”

“You ate pancakes this morning!”

“I made those for you.”

“So you invaded my house for MY breakfast?”

She smirked. “You’re welcome.”

Ubaid narrowed his eyes. “You know, for someone who doesn’t blink much, you sure stare at me a lot.”

She leaned in. “Maybe I’m scanning your weaknesses.”

“Great. My girlfriend is a serial killer. Or Batman.”

“Batman blinks.”

“…True.”

The Phone That Shouldn’t Exist

That evening, they stopped at a small riverside café. While Ubaid was ordering drinks, Kim’s phone lit up on the table.

Ubaid glanced at it — and froze. It wasn’t a normal screen. No apps, no icons, just a dark interface with glowing alien symbols moving like liquid.

He stared.

Kim picked it up instantly and locked the screen. “Curiosity is dangerous, Ubaid.”

He forced a laugh. “Was that… Korean? Or… Klingon?”

She sipped her tea without answering.

Suspicious Memory Slip

Later, as they walked, Ubaid asked, “So… where did you grow up?”

She thought for a second too long. “Here.”

“Here where?”

“Here… Seoul.”

“Which neighborhood?”

“Many neighborhoods.”

“That’s… not how neighborhoods work.”

She smiled. “It is if you move a lot.”

---

Small Glitch

As they reached the subway entrance, Ubaid saw it again — her reflection in a glass panel lagged for a fraction of a second before syncing with her movement.

He rubbed his eyes.

Kim noticed. “Tired?”

“Yeah,” he lied.

---

The Almost-Confession

At the train platform, Kim stood very close to him. “You know, Ubaid… there are things about me you wouldn’t believe.”

“Try me.”

“Not yet.”

“Why? Are you secretly a spy? An assassin? A K-drama villain?”

Her lips curved into the smallest smile. “Closer to the last one.”

Before he could press, the train arrived and drowned out their voices.

Tariq Being Tariq

Later that night, Ubaid video-called Tariq.

“I saw her phone, bro. Alien letters.”

Tariq nearly fell off his chair. “YES! I knew it! Next step: find out if she bleeds blue.”

“I’m not stabbing my girlfriend to check her blood color!”

“Fine. Then test her with magnets.”

“What??”

“You never know.”

Ending – The Dhamaka Moment

Ubaid was walking home when his phone buzzed — a text from Kim:

> “Don’t go inside your apartment.”

He stopped. “Why not?” he texted back.

No reply.

Slowly, he walked up to his door. He put his ear against it… silence.

Then he noticed — the lock was broken.

He pushed the door open and froze. His entire living room was a mess. Drawers open, stuff scattered everywhere.

In the middle of the chaos… stood Kim. Holding a small, glowing metallic object that looked nothing like anything on Earth.

She looked at him, calm as ever.

“I told you not to come in.”

“What… is that?” Ubaid asked.

She walked up to him, placed the object in her pocket, and whispered:

“Something from home.”

Before he could say another word, the street outside filled with a strange, low humming sound — the same beep-beep-bloop from her phone, but louder, deeper… and coming from the sky.

Ubaid ran to the window. Above the clouds, a huge shadow moved.

Kim touched his arm. “Don’t be scared.”

The shadow grew larger.

“Kim,” he whispered, “what are you?”

She smiled. “Not human.”
