At the chicken shop, Sunny sits lost in thought while Ji Yeon cleans, dutifully ignoring the ghost who keeps pestering her. The ghost threatens to kill Ji Yeon's friends if she keeps it up, and turns to start with Sunny.

But Sunny's fuming over her encounter with Reaper, and breaks into a string of curses, scaring the ghost away. Sunny asks Ji Yeon if her looks aren't up to par lately, anxious because she hasn't had a call from Reaper yet.  (Well well Someone is getting restless 😂😂😂)

Ji Yeon advises her to forget about him, but Sunny can't, exclaiming that he's the best-looking man she's ever seen. Moreover, she's further upset about the pretty ring she gave up.

Ji Yeon arrives at her aunt's house that night to find movers emptying the furniture. The landlady informs her that Aunt moved out and left all her things behind, and Ji Yeon asks plaintively what will happen to her.

Ji Yeon manages to take back her buckwheat flowers, although a sudden gust of wind blows off most of the dried blooms. Ji Yeon plucks a few sprigs to put between the pages of a book, then stores most of her belongings in a public locker.

At school, Ji Yeon's bitchy teacher orders her to empty her pockets and bag, having heard that Ji Yeon is sneaking smokes. When she finds no cigarettes and smells nothing on her fingers, she just snaps at her for being so devious as to cover her tracks so well. 

The teacher says she finds it scary that "kids like you" are good students, having judged her as someone who acts sweet and is secretly conniving, and says it's people like her who become problems in society. I shudder to think of a society of people this teacher thinks are good.

Reaper joins Shin for a spot of daytime drinking, and when asked why, Shin replies that he was faithful enough when he was a general. That's news to Reaper, and Shin adds that Reaper wouldn't have even been able to talk to him in the olden days.

 Reaper retorts, "You don't even know what I was." 

Reaper asks if Shin's all packed and tells him bye. 

Shin offers, "I'll call." Reaper points out, "I don't have a phone." 

Shin says "That's why I said it." 

They sit there in silence for a while, two lonely gods drinking alone. A bit of time passes, and then suddenly Shin is storming in and out of his front door, over and over, looking dissatisfied. 

Reaper finally asks what he's doing, and Shin admits, "I don't know where she is."  

Reaper sighs and asks whether he is trying to teleport himself everywhere, looking for Ji Yeon?

Shin adds, "She isn't calling me. Because she isn't calling me, I can't find her." He looks weary and sad, and says that nothing he has is good for anything. Reaper figures that's true, and asks what he'd done in past instances. 

"I found her," he says. "Every time, like this."   (Oh, you romantic. So every time we've seen you magically show up, you've really been trying a dozen times?)

Reaper tells him to just call her, but Shin doesn't know her number. He grabs an umbrella and leaves again, and as thunder crashes in the distance, Reaper chuckles and says he's found her.

Ji Yeon sits on the rocks overlooking the sea, talking to her mother to ask how she's doing, and how heaven is. She starts to cry and admits that she's not doing so well, and nobody asks how she's doing. Rain starts to fall in earnest, and she says bitterly that she's tired of this life that always gets rained on.

Then she senses something and whirls around. There Shin is, holding an umbrella over her head, like magic. He tells her, "It's because I'm depressed."  He explains that it rains when he's gloomy, but that it'll stop soon. She notices the rain stopping, and he says, "It's because I just now started feeling better."

It seems she gets his meaning, and she almost smiles. Then Ji Yeon says she didn't summon him here. Shin replies, "I was busy too. Here and there. I had things to do." 

"I'm in trouble," she says. "Every time it rains, I'm going to be sad thinking that you're depressed."

He asks why she's out here like this, and she answers simply, "Because I'm unhappy." She likens her unhappiness to a cold that goes away for a time, then comes back to afflict her. She adds that she didn't say this purposely to "stab" at his conscience, and he tells her not to use that word, since he hates it. 

Shin prods her to continue talking, and she thinks for a moment, then explains how humans have four lives a life of sowing seeds, a life watering planted seeds, a life harvesting those plants, and a life using those harvested plants. "Condolences," is all Shin says. Ji Yeon pouts, saying that he could pat her shoulder or stroke her hair. She pulls out her laminated maple leaf and offers it to Shin, who reaches out to pat her hair. He tells her to be well, because he leaves tomorrow.

That hits her, and it looks like she's holding in her tears. The rain starts to pour again.

That night, Shin and Reaper sit like depressed bumps on a log. A bell rings, and Reaper thinks it's a text message, only to have Shin correct, "That was the doorbell."

Simultaneously, they realize how strange it is for the doorbell to ring, and stare at each other in mounting alarm. Shin tells Reaper to check on it and points out the ridiculousness of the grim reaper being afraid, which Reaper says right back to him.

Then the door swings open—and there stands Ji Yeon. Reaper is puzzled to see her at his house and asks if she's sought him out. Note how he's doing his menacing act again, as though he hadn't just been cowering to himself on the sofa.

Spooked to see Reaper, Ji Yeon says she came to the wrong house and hurries away, only to walk right into Shin. "You told her where you live too?" Reaper asks dryly. Shin waves him away.

"Who says I can't?" she returns. "One: If I see it, do we have to marry right away? Two: If I see it, will you give me that 5 million won? Three: If I see it... will you not leave? Don't go. Just stay here, in Korea." 

He doesn't respond for long moments, then asks, "Do you really see it?"

He asks for proof, and she asks for his answer first. He decides she doesn't see it, and she says indignantly that she does. Pointing straight at his chest, she declares, "This sword."

Suddenly, there in front of her pointing finger, the sword materializes, sticking right through Shin's chest.
