At the chicken shop, Sunny continues glaring at her non-ringing phone waiting for Reaper to call the whole afternoon and Ji Yeon interrupts her asking her for advice.

She asks to call her unnie, and Sunny declares that coming to "unnie" for help can only mean one thing Ji Yeon's pregnant, right?

Ji Yeon gasps and assures her that she isn't, then asks what Sunny thinks of marrying young. Sunny asks how old he is and what he's like, brushing aside the descriptions of liking books and art and serving his country, asking simply, "Is he good to you?" .

Sunny asks if she likes the guy "No," Ji Yeon exclaims and if the guy likes her "...no," she says slowly, and is confused at why marriage is even on the table.

Ji Yeon laughs uneasily and sees her point.

Ji Yeon walks home thinking of how Shin had said he'd love her if necessary, and how flatly he'd said he loved her. She says aloud, "I don't need a love like that. And I hope you won't need it, either." She grumbles that she won't be making him pretty.

(Omo so cute 😭😭)

In a nearby bookshop, Shin jumps up from reading a book as soon as he sees Ji Yeon pass by and reappears at home to assume a casual pose with his heart beating very fast because he ran.

Notwithstanding his heaving chest from all that exertion, he acts like he was home the whole time.

Shin narrows his eyes and watches closely as Ji Yeon joins Reaper in folding freshly laundered towels, pointedly complimenting him so Shin can overhear.

(These two definitely became besties lol 😂😂😂🤭🤭)

Shin attempts to divert attention back to himself by walking by with artwork and rattling off its pedigree like an art history professor.

Shin says loudly "This is a painting by a famous 17th century dutch painter, Rembrandt Van Rijn , combines light and shadow dramatically . People know it as the "Night watch" but it's actually The Militia Company of District II under the command of captain Frans Banning Cocq.

Shin says with a smug face and a proud pose "Where should I hang this?".

Ji Yeon and Reaper just plainly ignored his entire speech about his painting and were busy folding the towels, leaving Shin to dance around in the background with the painting.

(Omo poor Shin 😭😭😭)

Reaper just asks about the red scarf, remembering it from when she was nine, and Ji Yeon explains to the Reaper how it was her mother's, and she wore it thinking that covering her birthmark would prevent her from seeing ghosts.

Ji Yeon adds up saying "My mom always covered me with scarves . It didn't work at all, but it became a habit. Now it feels like her."

Ji Yeon smiles at Reaper.

Reaper is hit with a large wave of sympathy, Reaper turns puppy-dog eyes to Shin and requests, "You better give her that 5 million won. Otherwise I will figure out a way to take you instead of her."

Shin complains to Ji Yeon about having everything turn into a sad story, and she replies that she wasn't talking to him. She and Reaper agree that Shin has a strange personality, talking about him like he's not standing right there with furrowed brow and frowny face.

Ji Yeon asks if Reaper has picked a name, and he starts to reply enthusiastically, only to have Shin cut in and say she ought to be studying. He needles her, saying she'll fail her exam and never be a radio PD this way. Reaper calls that a cool career and gets her talking about her dream, and Shin is cut out of the loop again.

Shin gets possessive over the conversation topic, saying she'd told him about wanting to be a PD, and yet she's talking to Reaper about it. Ji Yeon says that you talk with the people you live with, and Shin huffs that she isn't living with any people. Ji Yeon suggests that Reaper consider Park Bo-gum a potential name, emphasizing the last syllable because it means sword.

The bickering escalates, with Ji Yeon blaming Shin for her birthmark, Shin huffily looking past her hair to declare the birthmark pretty, and Ji Yeon taking offense to him "hitting" her hair and saying that he got his sword stuck in him for a reason. Shin gasps, asking if she's a psychopath to hit him exactly where it hurts.

She calls him a psycho too, reminding him that he was the one who said she wasn't a goblin's bride and should live in reality. He exclaims that he was doing it for her benefit, and she yells back, "If you're doing things for my benefit, hand over my boyfriend....I want my boyfriend!" 

         She lists her original three wishes, saying that it didn't come true, and Shin yells right back, "He's right here, your boyfriend! Right in front of you-me!"

(At last he admitted lol 😂😂😂😂)

(So cute 🥹🥹🥹🥹)

Silence. Pause. Awkward frozen moment in time.

They both look away uncertainly and fidget for a while, while Reaper shoots them a dry look and tosees the laundry basket in annoyance. Then they simultaneously dash for their rooms.

(GOBLIN 도깨비 Soundtrack 14 Various Artists - Whistling 휘파람을 불며 plays when they enter their rooms and talk to themselves)

In her room, Ji Yeon acts like she's put out by Shin's words while looking pleased. Shin, meanwhile, notes that he's more appropriately a husband than a boyfriend, and wonders if he should go back to correct the discrepancy. He sighs that it's a troubling situation, but smiles like a little boy.

The next day, Reaper sits at the table, grumbling about how Ji Yeon and Shin are fighting like a couple and how he can't even call Sunny because of his lack of a name. He sits there all day, brooding until darkness falls and Deok-hwa and Shin join him.

Shin guesses that a woman is at the root of Reaper's gloom. Reaper blusters defensively, but Deok-hwa sees the phone number with the lipstick kiss, teasing Reaper about kissing the paper in secret.

Shin dials while Reaper is distracted, and hands him the phone when Sunny answers. Reaper shoves his hand aside, which accidentally sends his phone flying across the room.

He freezes time to calmly pluck the frozen phone out of the air, clears this throat and practices a few lines, trying to decide on a strategy for answering the call.

then Shin unfreezes to offer his advice and says the third tone is perfect use that one , explaining that he can freeze time too. He stuffs a dinner roll in Deok-hwa's mouth, then restarts time.

(Omo anyhow every time at the end of the day Deok-hwa ends up getting bullied by someone 😭😭😭😂😂😂🤣)

Reaper finally says hello into the phone, and Sunny gets bristly, noting that he does know how to use a phone after all. Taking her sarcastic comments literally, he assures her that his fingers didn't break and that her number is doing fine right here.

She prods him to say more by saying "When are you free during the morning , afternoon and evening?".

So he asks for an example of what he might be expected to say. Then he parrots her example back at her

"Morning, lunch, or dinner, which is most convenient for you?"

Sunny replies that she prefers meeting in the morning and part in evening.
