Shortly thereafter, those two gold bars appear in Ji Yeon's room, and Aunt finds them and just about has puppies. The cousins make greedy grabs for the bars, assuming that Ji Yeon converted her hidden stash of cash into gold, and a three-way squabble breaks out.

Nobody in this hateful family can trust each other, so they end up sitting up late into the night, determined to outlast the others to claim it for themselves. Eyelids droop and heads nod off... and in the morning, Aunt and Male Cousin wake up to find Girl Cousin and the bars long gone.

Aunt and Male cousin tear out of the house to track her down, and from a nearby restaurant, Shin and Deok-hwa watch them run by. Deok-hwa notices Shin's eyes glued to the TV, which is turned to a K-pop performance. Shin explains that the king he served was about the age of that idol—seventeen.

In a serious, faraway voice, he describes lying on the ground at the hottest hour of day, in the blinding light, endlessly resenting somebody 

"Whether it was the king, or god, or me—I've forgotten that."

Later, Shin makes Reaper and Deok-hwa watch that idol perform, calling him the reincarnation of his thousand-year wrath. Reaper advises him to let go of his anger and vengeance, which will bring him unhappiness. Shin cuts him off, asking,

  "So does not remembering anything makes you happy because I have to remember everything everyday?"   Reaper shuts his mouth.

Shin isn't sure the idol is the reincarnated king—it seems like he just has a passing feeling—and wants Reaper to confirm whether it is, but Reaper can't tell just by looking; he needs to touch him. Then Reaper asks, "Why do you only think he's been reincarnated as a man?"  and indicates the girl group now onstage.

"Is it her?" Shin asks, transfixed at the dance. 

"Say it is! I think I'm ready to forgive." Reaper reminds him that he's been angry for a thousand years, but Shin stares at the pretty girl, saying, 

"I'm sure he had his reasons."

Reapers storms off and yells " My Goodness you foolish Dokkaebi " from back while Shin is dancing   (Omg I couldn't control my laughter in this scene , especially the forgive part 😂)

Reaper arrives at the hospital, where he joins several of his fellow reapers, which includes a few newbies. The Newbies introduce themselves to Reaper (LDW) , One reaper hoobae reminds our Reaper (LDW) about those souls that are unaccounted for and tells him to turn in his roster by the end of year.

Another reaper brightens when a new reaper approaches them, because she's pretty and young and makes him grin like a doofus. Everyone seemed mesmerized except our Reaper (LDW) , She introduced herself to our reaper (LDW) just like the other 2 newbies.

Reaper (LDW) steps aside when his charge arrives, an ER doctor who literally died of overwork while tending to a patient. The doctor, like all newly dead souls, needs a moment to take it in, but when he hears that his patient lived, he says he's glad.

Afterward, Our Reaper eats at Subway and looks over the forms he has yet to fill out regarding the two souls that went unaccounted for.

As Ji Yeon bikes through the city, she notices every instance of the word "goblin" popping up in ads and signs. She bikes faster and faster, as if to get away.

In the days that follow, she keeps thinking of Shin and their encounters, and the memories put her in a funk. 

(Goblin [도깨비 OST Part 3] Lasse Lindh - Hush starts playing in the background starting from Ji Yeon cycling to  Ji Yeon and Shin lost in thoughts)

Finally, she sighs to herself in the classroom , "I don't care . If he Leaves or not , whatever."

That funk seems to extend to Shin, too, as he thinks of all their encounters as well. There's a lovely extended moment where their images overlap, as though sharing their gloom, separate but together.

Ji Yeon returns to the bookstore and searches for the goblin book where she'd stuck her maple leaf from Quebec. She overhears a man trying to make a return, and sees Deok-hwa with the very book in question. She offers to buy the book from him, claiming the maple leaf inside it, and he says there's no way to prove it's hers. He challenges her to identify its origin, and Ji Yeon replies that even if she answered, he wouldn't know whether it's true.

Deok-hwa declares that the correct answer and gives her the book. When she asks why he was interested in it in the first place, he replies matter-of-factly, 

"Ah, there's this goblin I know."  

He plays it off like it's no big deal and everybody knows a goblin or two.

Eyes wide, Ji Yeon asks, "Really?"  He tsk-tsks her naivety and gives her a quick primer on not falling for the things strangers say. Although when she tries to discount the book price by calling it technically used, Deok-hwa won't let her get away with it.

Deok-hwa heads home to report to Shin, but stops short to see his grandfather standing there with Reaper. Gulp. He breathes a sigh of relief when he realizes Grandpa doesn't know anything yet, then totally throws Reaper under the bus by asking who he is and why he's here.

As Shin comes out of his room, Reaper points a finger at him and mumbles, 

"I'm his... friend. I am visiting."

Deok-hwa seizes this excuse and runs with it, exclaiming that Reaper must be very close with Uncle, and came to say goodbye. Stone-faced Reaper lifts a hand and waves wanly

 "Go well. Be healthy. Never come back."

But Shin contradicts both of them, happy to tell Reaper to leave his house and never return, since they're not friends. Deok-hwa protests, and Shin kicks him out too.

                       So Reaper and Deok-hwa end up huddled on the front stoop, grumbling about Shin's high-handedness. Reaper turns the stoop icy and warns Deok-hwa that he'd better be right about his grandfather leaving soon "He'd better, or you'll be going soon with me , somewhere."

Deok hwa asks " It wouldn't be somewhere nice , would it?" with curiosity but returns back to normal as he sees Reaper started freezing the area between them.

Shin pops his head outside to tell Deok-hwa to go to his house to receive his scolding, and crows to Reaper that their score is 1:0. Reaper seethes, then walks right through the door.

               Deok-hwa hunkers down on the step rather than going in for his punishment, vowing to stay here and haunt the house as a ghost.
