Shin ponders the unexpected twist that the bride couldn't pull out the sword, and also his vision of Ji Yeon at 29 without him by her side. "Is it the future that changed, or the oracle that changed?" he wonders. Shin then admits that he likes being back here, and calls himself shameless for being happy at that.

(GOBLIN 도깨비 Soundtrack 17 Various Artists - Pray 기도 starts playing in the background as Shin starts thinking about his and Ji Yeon's future.)

Reaper asks Ji Yeon to sit down to grill her, and she gives him the quick version about not being able to touch the goblin's sword.

Reaper grumbles that he came back alive, and she misinterprets the comment to be directed at her, agreeing that she almost got left behind in that field.

Reaper thinks in his head that she still doesn't know what happens when she pulls out that sword. "Should I tell her what will happen? Then the goblin will die of anger. And then this house will be mine," he thinks.

Reaper brushes that thought away by telling her that he was wondering why she can't touch the sword, and she asks in a very annoyed tone if maybe the goblin was right about her not being his bride "Will the real bride who can grab the sword show up? Will she... be pretty?"

Reaper sighs and indicates anyone can do the deed , she nods her head feeling demotivated.

(Jealous Ji Yeon 😭😭😭😭)

She asks the Reaper "Do you think Dokkaebi ahjussi will go back to being mean to me? I don't think so , we're pretty close now"

Scene cuts to the morning breakfast:

Ji Yeon can't even take a bite of her steak without Shin passive-aggressively commenting on the house expenses going up with another mouth to feed.

He wonders how they'll do all those dishes they have, and Ji Yeon screams and volunteers to do the dishes.

Then while she's washing dishes, Shin walks around behind her sighing that there's so much laundry, and wonders if he should just throw his clothes away.

Ji Yeon sighs and says "I could do the laundry too."

Shin replies "Will you do that? If you insist, I prefer them to be hand-washed".

(GOBLIN 도깨비 Soundtrack 06 Various Artists - The Glittering Wind 반짝이는 바람 starts playing in the background when Shin talks about the laundry.)

He sticks to her side the whole time she's doing all these chores.

When he starts commenting on the dust in all the rooms, Ji Yeon shakes out the wet towels right in his face.

She does it again and again on his face, and then they start bickering about who's got more resentment to air. She argues that he shouldn't be so quick to assume that she isn't the bride just because she can't touch the sword, and that he might regret being mean to her later.

She tosses his own words back at him, about how he liked every day and how he said everyday he spent with her shined , because the weather was good, or bad, or just so. He startles her by saying, "Yes. Today too. Even now , you shine radiantly". The sudden swooniness catches her off-guard.

She asks why he's giving her a hard time then, and he says those are separate things. She doesn't think so, but offers to amend their relationship status then, if he doesn't think she's bride material. She suggests girlfriend to his boyfriend, but he says no. He shoots down acquaintance too, and when she suggests tenant, he tells her to pay 500,000 won monthly for rent then , he then adds with a smirks saying that water and gas bills aren't included.

Later, Ji Yeon complains to Reaper about it and says she and Shin are enemies now. Reaper suggests that maybe they need something more powerful than the goblin's curse to beat it "True love?" he offers. Ji Yeon says she already tried that, thinking of the kiss, while Reaper asks what she tried exactly.

Behind them, Shin hides his face behind his towel shyly and stammers, "Were you always the kind of girl to just say that stuff... about the kissing... to just anyone?"

She points out that she didn't actually say it-he did-and argues that it doesn't really have anything to do with him because it's her kiss to tell.

Shin says "Hey No one can claim a kiss. Half of it is mine", Ji Yeon sighs and says "Fine, take half."

Shin arrogantly says "No, I don't want it! I don't need it!" Ji Yeon utters "Fine, I'm going to keep it all!" Shin says "You do that! You're the greedy one!"

( I can't believe this is a fight. What a topic to bicker about wow 😂😂😂😂)

They stomp off in opposite directions and leave, and Reaper scoffs and mutters to himself , "Here I can't even call because I don't have a business card, and these guys are...kissing"

Reaper gets so worked up that he storms into Shin's room and demands that he kick Ji Yeon out if she's not the bride "Why, don't you want to? I'm asking you to kick her out so we can live happily, just the two of us, like we used to!"

Reaper sounds like a jealous boyfriend, and Shin is confused at the description of them having lived cozily before she got here. Besides, Shin argues, Ji Yeon knows too much about them to be kicked out now.

Reaper sees right through him and says he just doesn't want her to go, but Shin won't admit it. Reaper thinks he's happy that Ji Yeon couldn't pull out the sword because he gets to live and see her for longer, and Shin rambles that he'd be crazy to be happy about that when he's been waiting to die for 900 years... except he's totally grinning from ear to ear as he says it.

So then Reaper graciously offers to take her to the afterlife, since he and Goblin are such good friends, and he's really annoyed by all the kissing and whatnot. Shin blurts and screams at him in a panic, " There is no friendship between us anymore!!! What kind of friend would want another friend to die?"

Reaper gets his big aha moment and wags his finger at Shin's face again "See see I knew it? You really are glad you aren't dead."

( For people wondering "Aha moment" means a moment of sudden insight or discovery. ❤️)

Shin swears that he's not, and that he's just trying to keep his promise like a man because he signed Ji Yeon's contract , he further adds A man never goes back on his word and excitedly saying "I am a man". Reaper snarls and gets closer to him , "I guess you weren't a man when you gave me the deeds to the house."

Reaper storms out, leaving Shin calling after him in a futile attempt to get the last word in. He screams " Yaaa Saja saja please come back "

(For people wondering , Yaaa or Ya means Hey in korean and Grim reaper in korean is Jeosung Saja 😊😊)
