I Won't Leave You

([도깨비 OST Part 6] 샘김 (Sam Kim) - Who Are You - plays in the background when Ji Yeon points her finger)

Thunder claps and lightning strikes, as Ji Yeon points at the sword embedded in the goblin's heart. She admits that she's seen it from the start and asks, 

"What am I now? Am I still not the goblin's bride?"

Shin stares at her in wonder for a long beat and says, "I think you are." 

She can't help but smile, not really understanding what it means to be the goblin's bride, and asks cheerily if she's become useful now, and if this means that Shin won't leave. He says he won't leave for the time being... "Because I might have to prepare to go someplace farther away," he finishes. 

Shin asks why she didn't mention the sword before if she really saw it the whole time , but Ji Yeon says she was trying to be polite at first, and then got scared about the consequences later. "What if you ask me to get married right away? What about college? Do I become a goblin?" she asks.

She wants to know her first order of business as the goblin's bride, and Shin suavely tells her to wait right here... and then ruuuuuuuns into Reaper's room flailing like a big geek. 

"She sees the sword! She pointed at the sword, like this!" he shouts.

Reaper tells him to get out, but Shin is freaking out"She can see the sword! She's my bride! I'm going to die!" 

Naturally, Reaper is unfazed by death and counters, "So what, isn't that a good thing? Weren't you looking for the bride in order to die?"

Shin deflates and stammers, "I... was... nearly my whole life." Reaper asks if he's happy or scared that he found the bride, and Shin starts pacing around the room saying that he is relieved at the thought of ending this immortal life, "but I'm not always sick of it either...A part of me wants to live....." . 

Reaper says 

"Just say the word and I'll take her then you don't need to worry about anything"

Reaper complains about the paperwork involved, but he figures that she was meant to die, and Shin quickly starts backpedaling. Ji Yeon gets sick of waiting outside and rings the doorbell, and Shin turns into a drama queen and declares, "Death is calling me." 

Reaper says  "If it's ringing the doorbell, it's a kind death."

Reaper points out that telling him to calm down and asks him " it's not like you said terrible things to make Ji Yeon resent him and want him dead ", and Shin sighs deeply , regretting and remembering all the cold and mean things he said to her, he says "I choose death . It's easier that way."

Reaper says "Okay , Let's do that"

Shin starts scolding Ji Yeon for not keeping her patience , He says "You couldn't wait that long?"

Ji Yeon says in a pleading tone " I'm sorry but I can't wait any longer , Ever since I found out that I am the Goblin's bride , I've been waiting for you . For a very long time........"

Ji Yeon starts introducing herself and launches into a rehearsed sob story about her sad life how she survived abuse at the hands of her aunt's family for 10 years 

Reaper says "I wish this child gets a happy ending , I feel bad for her"

She even states how she is abandoned by her Aunt with nowhere to go. She tells that she's homeless and she says she'll die on the streets or starve to death if she doesn't stay here with them and that she would rather die with dignity in their house if she was meant to die anyway.

She's hilariously bad at it, but Reaper takes her side, especially when he hears that Shin plans to stick around. Ji Yeon asks to live here, even if Shin has to adopt her , and swears that she can grow up quietly on her own, like a cactus. 

Reaper consents immediately, and Shin glares at him annoyed that Reaper is supporting her.

(Can anyone tell that in the previous chapters this is the same reaper that was hellbent on ending her life lol 😂😂😂  Such a softie LDW ❤️❤️)

She continues her comically bad sob story, and Reaper whispers into Shin's ear startling shin, 

"I know this story. I've seen the drama!" 

 She knew there was no god, looking pointedly at Shin. She begs him to save her.

(Come on Shin just say yes already........we know you want too😭😭😭)

He rolls his eyes and asks how a girl wanting to be saved could knowingly ask to live with a grim reaper. Thinking quickly, she says that it's always darkest under the candle , "so you be my candle from now on, so this handsome Ajusshi can't take me." Reaper starts to say that his friend Shin is going to let him take her, but Shin interrupts him and sends Ji Yeon inside. She doesn't need to be told twice, and gapes at her surroundings.

Goblin and Reaper bicker about outing each other's secrets, and Shin gets mad at Reaper and says their friendship lasted for all of five minutes before threatening the poor girl. 

(These 2 and their never ending bickering lol 😂😂😂😭😭)

Reaper counters that Shin is the one who left her out there in the cold.

Shin comes up with an idea to get rid of Ji Yeon, and slides her an envelope of money. 

It's the 5 million won she's been praying for, but she slides the envelope right back and says it's too late—she's already seen his house. She calls it a  perfect house for raising children in, and asks what type of wife he prefer - A wise and devoted or A sexy wife or A career woman , doing her best to be coy and flirty. 

She even winks at him and says she could surprise him everyday. 

(Omg this Ji Yeon also na , I am blushing 😂😂😭😭😊😊🫣)

He reminds her that she doesn't like him, and she takes it all back, and then thinks in her head that he's handsome and cool and his eyes are like stars. 

She assumes that he can hear her, and Shin admits that he was lying about that. He doesn't know exactly how he heard her when she was kidnapped, but he thinks it might have to do with her birthmark.

Ji Yeon immediately drops the sweet act and calls him a con artist, angry that she spent so much energy trying not to think of him, and making herself think other thoughts just to justify thinking about him all the time.

Shin says " You just confessed that you were indeed thinking about me , It's confusing me." 

She yells  " What's there to be confused about ? I am really your bride ".

She doesn't really get his meaning and asks if she's supposed to unpack her bags or not, and Shin tells her there's another solution.

Cuts to: Grandpa showing Ji Yeon her new suite room in the hotel where Deok-hwa lives, just one floor down. Deok-hwa is surprised to run into Ji Yeon again after the bookstore, and Grandpa doesn't ever explain why he's speaking to Ji Yeon in a polite manner and offering Deok-hwa's services like he's a butler.

Deok-hwa argues that Grandpa has an army of secretaries for that, but all Grandpa has to do is offer to maybe unfreeze a credit card, and Deok-hwa is at her service with a bow. Grandpa says that Deok-hwa isn't trustworthy, and hands Ji Yeon a business card so she can call him if anything happens.

      She gapes to realize that Grandpa is a chairman, and Deok-hwa happily adds that this makes him a third-generation chaebol. Grandpa drags him out by the ear and bids her goodnight.

Meanwhile, Ji Yeon explores her room and jumps on the bed and then says in a sad voice "I'm all alone in this lovely suite."
