Reaper steps out with the trash just as Shin and Ji Yeon pull up to the house, and is shocked to hear she's going to live here now. 

Reaper sees Ji Yeon looking at the trash bag in his hand and he says to Ji Yeon 

"Today is Recycling day"

Ji Yeon says to the Reaper "I see a new side to you everyday"

Then he recalls Shin's thoughts about ending his life and grins yeeting the trash bag perfectly in the garbage truck that was far away. He wishes her well on by saying " I'll be cheering for you and for what you'll do in the future, let's go in" which Ji Yeon assumes refers to house chores.

(Reaper and his antics 😂😂😂😭😭🤌🤌)

But they're hindered by the front door, namely the keypad with the passcode they've never used, since they don't need doors. 

(GOBLIN 도깨비 Soundtrack 16 Various Artists - God's Supper 신들의 만찬 plays in the background as they are trying to figure out the passcode)

All Shin can figure is that it's probably four digits, while Reaper knows they hit the star at the end. 

Ji Yeon asks "Neither of you knows the passcode?"

Shin replies "We never had to press it to go inside"

(What a flex 😂😂😂🤣🤣)

Ji Yeon starts to give a speech about how it's like that moment of fear before entering a haunted house at an amusement park, only to find that both men have already poofed inside the house. Shin opens the door from the inside and says to her "Come on in"

Inside they stumble upon a drunk Deok-hwa gasping at sight of Ji Yeon and barrages her with who-what-why questions. Shin asks Deok-hwa to tell the door passcode to Ji Yeon and Deok-hwa reveals that the door code is 1004.

Deok-hwa whines like a baby "Why is she staying here? What about me?"

Shin shuts him up by saying "Drink that , You better sober up first"

            They show Ji Yeon to an unused room currently used for storage, and Shin starts planning the decor like it's an art gallery, while Reaper contradicts his color choices. 

(These 2 are never gonna stop arguing 😭😭😭😭)

Ji Yeon settles on a compromise to incorporate both ideas Shin's romantic 19th-century-style wallpaper here on the left of the room , and Reaper's pastel-colored hearth over the right side.

Ji Yeon offers to sleep on the sofa tonight or even the flower bed outside, but Shin tells her to sleep in his bedroom, making two pairs of eyes bug out. 

He insists he didn't mean that—and then takes his pillow into Reaper's room and tells him in magnanimous historical tone , "I shall sleep in the bed, so do not worry yourself with me and you sleep comfortably on the sofa."

But when Reaper says he'll make Ji Yeon to sleep in the flower bed, Shin relents and takes the sofa. 

Shin sighs and says "Were you always this inconsiderate?"

 Reaper utters in an annoyed tone "Yes."

In Shin's room, Ji Yeon spies her poem collection "Stars might take your sorrow away" (Awww he kept her book all this time since Quebec ❤️) on the table, and next to it a handwritten journal and her laminated maple leaf. She's pleased to see that he kept it after all and starts to read his journal, but gives up right away because she can't read hanja.

(Hanja means chinese characters for people wondering)

(He even kept the maple leaf Awwww 🥹🥹🥹🍁🍁)

After Ji Yeon puts Shin's  journal back on the table , 

(GOBLIN 도깨비 Soundtrack 02 Various Artists - Butterfly 나비 start playing in the background as Shin writes in his journal)

We jump back centuries to when Shin first wrote in that journal, describing the warfare that ravages this foreign land as much as it did his homeland "Foreign gods and Goryeo's gods are all the same. I have buried the grandson of the grandson of the grandson I left Goryeo with."

Shin continues, "My will isn't about my last words before death , Oh Almighty , My will is a request for you to grant me death."

We see Shin grappling with the sword in his chest as he continues, "There have been times when I considered this life a prize, but ultimately my life has been a punishment. I have never forgotten.. anyone's death. That is why....  I long to end this life. However the almighty turns deaf to all my cries."

Lying awake that night, Shin asks, "Have you ever seen the Almighty? Are you maybe looking at god right now?" Reaper is not happy to be roused from sleep and grumps that a low man on the totem pole like himself wouldn't get to see god. 

(Reaper don't feel bad , It's okay 😭😭😭)

Shin says that he's seen god once, and Reaper asks curiously what god looked like. Shin flashes back to lying in that field a thousand years ago in Goryeo, when a butterfly danced around and landed on his sword. "Just... a butterfly," he says.

Reaper sighs, feeling like he can't even harm a passing butterfly now. Shin muses, "If god showed me a face, at least I would be able to resent him concretely. If it's really true that god only gives you as much hardship as you can endure, I think he thought to highly of me."

Reaper asks in a friendly tone trying to ease his pain "Is it too hard for you?"

(GOBLIN 도깨비 Soundtrack 10 Various Artists - Amnesia 기억상실 plays in the background slowly when reaper tries consoling shin and the music stops when the night falls)

Shin replies "Don't worry , I won't cry in your arms"

Reaper chuckles and Shin reassures him that fog won't be rolling in or anything. 

(Yep When shin is happy Cherry blossoms and when he is sad it rains so please don't make fog now 😂😂😂)

Reaper wonders, "Humans see him all the time , but we don't get to see him. Not even once."

The night falls
