Ji Yeon panics and tries to avoid seeing him by acting like she's searching for her scarf and that saying her boss Sunny didn't lock the restaurant door , she goes to leave but Reaper appears again infront of her saying "That won't fool me , I know you can see me and nobody's here to protect you now" .

She called the Reaper a stalker for following and trying to find her for 10 years.

That's confirmation enough for Reaper that she can see him, and he stands in her path and says it's no use denying it. He notes that it took him ten years to find her because she moved , and she asks if she's supposed to die when she's only nineteen.

"People die at nine, and people die at ten. That's death,"  Reaper says. He can sense someone protecting her though, and asks who it is this time. They both look over, and Shin is standing there.

Ji Yeon runs over to Shin in a panic, but instead of hiding behind him, she covers Shin's eyes protectively and tells him not to meet the grim reaper's eyes. He looks at her intently, and then lowers her hands and pulls her behind him.Reaper asks what he's doing, and Shin says he's interfering in human life and death, which Reaper calls a big mistake. But before he can say that Ji Yeon was supposed to die, lightning and thunder roar overhead, as if Shin is displaying his anger.

 Shin shoots him a thought telepathically, and warns Reaper to be careful, or else he'll start to concern himself with Reaper's life and death too.

Ji Yeon suggests a quick getaway and tries to pull Shin along with her, only to bounce right back. Shin says that Reaper can't take her, even if he's been searching for her for a hundred years 

"No reaper can take someone who said she'd marry a goblin, and before a goblin's eyes at that."

As soon as the reaper is gone, Ji Yeon lets out a shaky breath and says she knew Shin was a goblin. He says he lied about it because he thought he'd never see her again. 

"Who knew you'd come inside my door, where no one has ever followed me in before?" he asks. We're not talking about portals, are we? 

He says she should consider it a good thing, because if she had been the bride, she would've ended up resenting him a great deal. He says he's telling her the truth now because he wants her to stop summoning him with false hope, and says that he's leaving this place soon. 

                            She starts to ask where he's going, and then declares that she doesn't care, and she never wanted to be his bride anyway, because she's only nineteen and she's not crazy. She starts to walk away and then turns back, but he's already gone.

At home, Reaper asks if Shin is going to die at last, but Shin says it'll regretfully have to wait, since Ji Yeon can't see the sword in his chest. Reaper points out that she might not see it yet, or that he might have to be naked first, though he seems concerned about the girl's age. 

Shin and Ji Yeon felt lost and sad for some days.

(Goblin [도깨비] Part 4 (Original Sound Track) - Beautiful by Crush plays in background as they both look sad)

Reaper wonders why Shin is protecting the girl if she's not the bride.

Shin just tells him to let her live since she's already skated by. But Reaper's not about to have a missing person on his watch, and says he can't live with a goblin that's messing with his work. Shin welcomes him to move out.

Shin says "The exit is that is that way" and  Reaper frowns.

Ji Yeon decides to read up on goblins, though the only place she can really do that is in children's books. A little girl comes by to ask Ji Yeon why a big unnie like her is in the kids' section, and Ji Yeon calls it a background search on her boyfriend. 

"It's like Facebook-stalking. You'll do this when you're older too," she explains.

The little girl asks if her boyfriend is a knight on a white horse, and Ji Yeon sighs that it'd be nice, scowling at the pictures of goblins on her books. She gets angry thinking about Shin's words to her and decides that she doesn't care anymore, and sticks her maple leaf in one of the books and leaves it at the bookstore.

But as soon as she's gone, a hand reaches out for the book she left it in...

At home, Shin gets up in excitement when he smells smoke, thinking that Ji Yeon has summoned him again. 

He stands up to prepare himself, but then nothing happens. 

He turns the corner to find Deok-hwa smoking, and he quickly puts out the cigarette and says that Uncle smoked and quit once too. Shin shouts that it was it was 350 years ago.

That night, Reaper comes out wearing a sleeping cap again, thanks to Shin, and asks Deok-hwa what's going on in the house because it's suddenly moist and cloudy inside.

Shin was hanging out with a dark cloud hanging over him and glowing a fiery blue.

Deok-hwa asks Uncle to quit before it rains in here, and Reaper deduces that he's thinking about a girl, most likely because of a marital spat. Deok-hwa is shocked to hear that Shin has a girl and that she's nineteen, but his only concern seems to be whether she's pretty. 

Shin says "I wasn't thinking about her , I was thinking about the stock market"

Shin gets mad at Reaper for blabbing in front of the kid and calls him a Grim reaper in front of Deok-hwa, whose eyes widen in alarm.

Reaper says "Don't underestimate the Grim Reaper's power to foresee the future. You were thinking about a girl infront of the child , Goblin."

(These both are really so bad and careless at hiding their identities 😭😭😭😭 They aren't even realising that Deok-hwa is hearing everything.)

Deok-hwa opens his eyes wide and looks at the Reaper and Goblin and they both ask Deok-hwa "What , why are you staring?"

Deok-hwa whispers under his breath "It doesn't matter if you both don't realize  , but Samcheon you should man up and tell her you're sorry , give her ring , credit card , a purse."

Deok-hwa gives a death sign telling it is easy and Shin also gives a death sign to him and then we see Deok-hwa tied up on the stairs.

Goblin and Reaper head out of the house at the same time.

Reaper asks "Where are you going?"

Shin says "To the supermarket . You?"

Reaper replies "To the Dry cleaner's. My hat requires dry cleaning often. I'll get going".

 Shin ends up tailing Reaper all the way to Ji Yeon's house. When Reaper says she isn't home, Shin accuses him of killing her. Reaper gets wholly offended at the notion that reapers kill, while Shin says it's also rude to enter people's homes with your shoes on.

Reaper asks " I thought you were going to the supermarket? This house doesn't look like one."

Shin says " And I thought you were going to the dry cleaner's. Is this dry cleaning."

Reaper asks huffily if Shin told Ji Yeon to move, and Shin says she moved on her own, satisfied that Reaper can't find her now. 

(Omg their bromance is to die for ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭)

Ji Yeon stays the night at the chicken shop, and comforts herself by saying that Aunt's house was never her home anyway.

Suddenly remembering something, Ji Yeon runs out to the street in search of the ghost that called her the goblin's bride, and she asks how the ghost knew. 

She takes her to another ghost, who tells Ji Yeon about the night that the goblin saved Ji Yeon and her mother. She realizes then that she'd never have been born if it weren't for Shin. Meanwhile Shin watches over her that night, but keeps his distance.

Ji Yeon's aunt goes charging into Sunny's chicken shop and demands to know where her precious niece is. Sunny doesn't bat an eyelash at the rude aunt and calls her girlfriend in a fake accent and asks if "Oppa" still beats up anyone, man or woman. Aunt goes running instantly, and Sunny's friend asks if she's gone nuts.

It turns out that the reason Aunt is so obsessed with Ji Yeon's bankbook and insurance payout is because she has loan sharks after her for debt, and when they hunt her down at home, Aunt swears that Ji Yeon's mom had a hefty insurance plan, but she just doesn't know where Ji Yeon is hiding the money.

The gangsters simply find out where Ji Yeon goes to school, and haul her into their car, kicking and screaming.
