[Cohabitation Agreement]
[My Roommate is a Gumiho]
It's quite rowdy today, isn't it, my lord?
The new scholars of Seonggyungwan are
having a welcoming party tonight.
You're so funny, my lord.
They're so mischievous.
Right, I heard you also studied at Seonggyungwan.
Anyway, I'm afraid one of the drunk scholars
might get bewitched by a gumiho.
Haven't you heard?
I hear a wicked monster who devours on people's liver
has recently been seen in the city.
She bewitches people in an instant with her dazzling beauty,
but she's actually a fox who has been around for centuries.
If that rumor is true,
I should stop coming to this gisaeng house.
What? What do you mean?
If you stop coming here,
what do we have to live for?
But I thought the most beautiful women of Joseon
are here with me right now.
I'm a coward,
so I'm afraid one of you might try to eat my liver.
My lord, goodness. Stop teasing us.
You were born as a lowly beast, but you dreamed of becoming a human.
What a foolish and poor thing you are.
I take pity on you and will make your wish come true.
My lord, should I blow out the candles?
Do as you like,
since everything is nothing but your dream.
Pardon? What do you mean?
You won't remember a thing once you wake up.
[Once you live a hundred years with good virtue, you'll grow a tail.]
[If you cultivate yourself and live 200 years, two tails.]
[If you come to an understanding and live 300 years, three tails.]
[Then you will make yourself a Red Marble.]
[If you manage to color that Marble blue with human energy]
[before 1,000 years is up, before you grow more than 9 tails,]
[you, a beast, may become a human.]
Taking someone's liver?
How did such a heinous rumor begin?
[If you live your life long enough,]
[you become indifferent to everything.]
[The change of seasons.]
[The meaningless time as I feign to be in love.]
[We encourage you to plan your family.]
[The emptiness that swarms in from time to time.]
[All of these mean]
[nothing more than countless numbers of repetitions.]
[How much longer must I spend living my life]
[in this indifference?]
You seem to be here alone,
as always.
[Episode 1]
Mr. Shin.
-Hello. -Hello.
Our theme for this project is
the history behind history.
I'd like it to be centered around the behind stories of our history.
Of course, there will be difficulty in providing historical evidence,
but I think it might be all right if we do thorough research.
For example, during the Joseon era,
commoners couldn't accuse the noblemen no matter how unfair anything was.
I heard they could only use sinmungo
or run over to the King
whenever he was in their town in a procession.
That wasn't the case.
Everyone could file a lawsuit regardless of their social class.
They could also appeal their cases, and there was a system
to avoid corruption of the lawsuit.
While I was a local governor over Pyeongan Province,
I once took a case of this farmer...
Wow.
Some might hear that and think you actually did it yourself.
I knew it. You write everything as if you went through it yourself.
That's why your works are so captivating.
You're right.
Mr. Shin, you're the perfect man for this project.
Don't you think so? No?
You're right. I agree.
Then let's keep building on this project.
That's all for today.
-Great work. -Sure.
Mr. Shin. Mr. Shin?
If you have some time,
let's all eat dinner together and bond as a team.
Let's do it next time.
-I'll see you next time. -Goodbye.
That darned "next time." Next time, next time.
So when exactly is this "next time"?
Wait, Mr. Shin. Mr. Shin!
You said you live in Samcheong-dong, right?
I actually have to be there right now.
Could you give me a lift?
-I'm sorry. -Wait!
I mean, do I make you feel that uncomfortable?
It has been a while since we worked together,
so I thought it'd be great if we could get a little closer.
It looked like you didn't have any close acquaintances.
I had a good friend, but I haven't heard from her since the liberation...
Sorry? The liberation?
You and your jokes.
Wait! One second.
Wait.
In that case, could you give me just one answer?
Why won't you let anyone get involved in your life?
You don't make friends or girlfriends.
Do you have a bad history of dating?
Or is there someone you can't forget?
Your Highness, why do you shed a teardrop?
Because of that being that shows up again as soon as it became history to me.
That being?
Fine dust.
Gosh, my eyes sting. The fine dust level is awful today.
No, what you're doing is awful.
I mean, think about my elegant face
and how I always become the top of my class at school.
Why do I have to be some court maid...
-Hey. -What?
I paid for the rental.
I'm paying a hefty price for not bringing cash.
Stop acting like the Queen, and let's go do our homework.
We came here to write a report on the palace of Joseon.
-Let's not forget our mission. -Of course.
Hey! Your time is up!
Already?
I paid 10,000 won for this.
The life of a Queen is very short-lived and futile.
Aren't you coming?
My maid, wait for me.
[What? Two-timed?]
Hey, Jin-ah two-timed you?
This is embarrassing, so please be quiet.
I knew it.
I told you time and time again that she isn't good for you.
But she really wouldn't do that.
So why?
Hey, why the heck are you crying?
Just think of this as an awful accident, and get over her already!
I miss her so much.
Jin-ah, you evil brat.
I hope she craps in her pants.
I hope her pouch drops and her glitter eyeshadow
completely shatters!
Hey, don't touch that phone as you curse her.
-No. -Take it. He's going to call her.
Give it to me.
You'll thank me tomorrow.
♫ Come back to me ♫
♫ The place where you belong ♫
♫ Is right here, by my side ♫
♫ Come back to me ♫
Goodness, you poor thing.
That softy always gives his everything to girls.
One day, I'm afraid he'll give up his organs.
Man! I have a phone English class with Ryan at 10 p.m.
I have to go.
No! You can't go.
I'm going to disinfect my broken heart with alcohol through the night.
That's bitter.
It hurts. It hurts right here.
It hurts.
-Gosh. Why... -This isn't going to work. You should go.
He's completely wasted.
Can you deal with him?
This isn't the first time. Don't worry about us and go.
Said I, an hour ago,
and I deserve to be punished.
Darn it. Hey!
How can you drink so much that you're unable to walk?
Where's your conscience, you jerk?
I'm not missing just my conscience, I got no girlfriend either.
Hey, wait. You need to walk. Try walking.
This isn't going to work. Prop yourself up.
Come on, please.
Should I just leave him here?
What? Did you sober up a little?
That crazy idiot. Hey, wait for me!
Jin-ah! I really loved you!
That son of a gun.
I'll kill you once I catch you.
Jin-ah!
♫ Sleep tight, my baby ♫
By any chance, is this car yours?
[Is he a human or a signboard?]
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
♫ My baby ♫
Have you gone insane? Get down here. Hey, get down!
Get down here.
-You've gone insane! -Let go.
Let go of what?
Your life? Your future?
Hey, no. You can't do that. Please stop. This really isn't a good idea.
-Please, stop. -Your friend must be drunk.
Yes, right. He had a little too much to drink.
I'll give you my phone number. We'll reimburse the damage...
Are you a student?
Yes, I'm in college.
Forget it, then.
It's not badly damaged.
But still, he caused you a nuisance, so...
It's all right, so you can go.
He's an angel.
-What? -What?
No, nothing.
Then thank you so much. I'm so sorry.
What are you sorry for?
How much do I owe him anyway?
We won't have enough even if we sold off our organs,
so shut your mouth.
We'll get going, then. Say you're sorry!
-I'm sorry. -We're sorry.
Come here. One second. Please try to stand just this once.
Hey, wait!
Gosh, my head hurts.
When did I get home last night?
I need to drink some water first.
-You're up. -Gosh, who are you?
Aren't you the owner of that red car?
I'm glad you remember.
Oh, and this is
my home.
Why am I here?
You wouldn't wake up, so I had to bring you here.
And I have to get something back from you too.
Get something back from me?
You swallowed my Marble last night.
A very important Marble I carried with me for nearly 1,000 years
to become a human.
To become a human? What do you mean?
Right, I haven't introduced myself yet.
I am
a gumiho.
[He's a lunatic.]
I see.
You don't believe me.
No, I do.
So you're a gumiho,
and I swallowed a Fox Marble last night.
Then what should I do? Should I wash out my stomach?
It's not in your stomach.
It already placed itself in your body.
Then what should we do?
I'll have to find a way.
Wait, where's my phone?
This means we're on the same boat now.
We have a common purpose, taking out that Marble.
Therefore, let's cohabitate
for a while.
Sorry? Wait.
You want me to move in here with you?
I understand how you're flustered.
But we're strangers,
and that Marble is very dear to me.
Don't you think I'd only be rest assured to always have you before me?
I can't believe this guy.
I was sorry my friend damaged your car
and thankful for not leaving me out there, so I was going to let you run with it.
But what? A gumiho? Cohabitate?
Stop talking nonsense.
See? You don't believe me.
But yes, it'll be easier to understand once you see it for yourself.
Try not to pass out.
Gosh, my head hurts.
When did I get home last night?
What kind of a dream was that?
Did you sleep well?
You seemed to be very shocked.
I'll get you a cup of tea that'll help you calm down.
Are you okay with some lotus tea?
I think he came after me.
Mom...
Oh no, what am I going to do?
Dam! Open the door!
What? It's Dan.
-Dan! -Open the door already.
Dan!
-Dan... -Move out of my way.
Why did you chain the door?
What's wrong?
Wait.
-Are you hungry? -What?
I knew you were a little too fast.
-No, I... -You did your best to eat dinner.
-No, that's not... -Why haven't you eaten
if you stayed out all night?
-You're so annoying. -Wait.
Hey, wait for me!
[What am I going to do? I think he's a real gumiho.]
[What am I going to do now?]
[I'd better stay away from telling him, right?]
[If I do, I might also put him in danger.]
My gosh. Why do you keep following me around?
Well.
I can't tell you the reason, but I'm too scared to be alone.
You frighten me even more. Go and take a seat.
My gosh!
What's with you today?
Dan.
The fact that you're an archer, that you're good at shooting arrows,
-might all be fate. -What are you talking about?
I really didn't want to tell you,
but I can't find a way around this.
I'm sorry to ask, but please help me.
What is it?
I met
a gumiho.
-What? -He hasn't done anything yet,
but he might come for me soon.
When he does, can you shoot him?
People shoot arrows on fire in historical dramas, right?
Is that possible...
No, not me. The gumiho.
My foot. Did you catch yourself in the mirror?
Get out of my room.
-Please hear me... -Three. Two.
Fine.
[Live your life on your own!]
Figures. No one would believe that.
Anyway, why is that gumiho so quiet?
He's making me more nervous.
[The world is so peaceful.]
[But I actually met a gumiho?]
[Maybe it was just a nightmare.]
[This stop is Terminal.]
[Next stop is...]
-I'm sorry. -It's okay.
[What is this?]
[Do I have to take a dump?]
[No, this isn't what that feels like.]
Goodness, are you all right?
It's nothing.
Mr. Driver, one second! Could you all make way?
This woman has to get to a restroom!
-No, wait. -Please make way.
No, that's not what...
-Thank you, though. -It's okay. Don't be flustered.
Thank you.
Hey, Dam. What's going on?
I have a stomachache.
It's not period cramps or number two,
but it hurts ten times as much.
Hey, you should've seen a doctor first.
I wanted to come and do my attendance.
Why does this hurt so much?
It's not like I ate anything special...
Dam, have you been well?
I'm on a break.
Hey, Dam!
Dam, are you okay?
That wasn't very strong.
Hey, Dam. Hey, wake up.
Hey, Dam. Stay with me. Dam!
Yes, this is he.
May I ask who's calling?
So this woman used her purse to hit you on the back of your head?
I'm telling you.
Is she allowed to do this to an innocent bystander?
An innocent bystander?
You leered at me up and down, then sexually harassed me saying,
"You probably had done it a lot,"
"and that's not all, I'd like to get it on with you."
"I keep thinking about you." Yet you're innocent?
When did I say that?
And do you have any evidence that I leered at you?
Were my eyes caught on the CCTV footage?
But you hitting me on the head? It was clearly seen there.
The law in our country loves to work with evidence, you know.
Is that the law in our country?
Yes, so you better be ready.
No matter how much you beg, I won't drop your charges.
The least you can do is grab my pants and beg me to settle.
What are you doing?
You told me to grab your pants to settle.
-Let me go. -This is unfair,
but I thought it'd be better to settle this case.
Let me go. What are you doing? Hey!
How much longer do I have to go on for you to settle?
Let's talk after you let go of him.
You're here.
Have you been well?
It's our first time since the liberation, so 75 years?
Did you ever wonder how my life was going?
We never checked on each other.
[Civil Services Center]
Why did you call me? [Civil Services Center]
You always have that face.
Can you use your magic to erase their memories?
You can do that yourself.
I can't use magic anymore.
Why not?
You're right.
I've become a human
four years ago.
Why are you leaving?
I wanted to thank you and buy you a meal.
People always buy a meal when they're grateful.
Forget it.
Oh, right.
Human energy is
what fills up a fox, not food.
Sadly, that's not something I can give.
So stay for a chat, will you?
We've been friends for 700 years. We can't leave like this.
I should stop eating.
Back when I was a gumiho, I never got fat.
But now, my body fat explodes whenever I eat too much.
That's not all.
Back when I was a gumiho, my skin was always flawless.
But I have to eat antioxidants
and put on eye cream to maintain my look.
I'm sorry. You probably don't understand.
If you lived for this long, you should've learned by now.
But you still cross over the line.
What? A line?
Which line did I cross?
I don't mean that there's an actual line.
It's a figure of speech which humans use often.
I see. Is that so?
That figure of speech or something? It's tough for me to grasp.
And you're still very dumb.
It took you 80 years to learn 1,000 Chinese characters.
Fine, good for you that you studied in Seonggyungwan.
But you know what?
I became a human first before a smart guy like you did.
Why haven't you become a human yet?
It looks like
you gave up on gathering human energy.
Wait, I hope you aren't still picky,
just as you were back then.
You again?
"Once you fall for her, you lose everything starting with your liver,"
"then meet your demise after your energy is all drained."
That rumor is all over the city.
I'm too beautiful for people to not hear about me.
There's no need to run them dry to the point of their death.
Mind your own business.
Stop looking displeased before women. They can turn you down any minute.
Humans are very sensitive.
Then I will look for another prey.
If it doesn't move my heart, whatever I take
just disgusts me.
What's your plan?
What are you waiting for?
Say something.
I'm 200 years younger than you, and I managed to turn into a human first.
Don't you have any questions?
"How did you become a human?"
"Did you change while sleeping or eating?"
"How blue was the Marble?"
"Was it deep blue or light blue? Or was it a blue gradient?
"Please tell me." Go down on your knees
and ask me.
You're very boisterous.
"Boisterous"?
Back in Goryeo and Joseon, I lived in their capital cities,
and even now, I'm a citizen of Seoul, the capital of Korea.
I only live in the capital cities.
You remember
all the hair sticks and accessories I wore went out of stock.
Even now in Seoul,
I haven't seen anyone who is more fashionable than me.
Wait. Was that an idiom as well?
Don't act like idioms are the only thing you don't know.
You're wholly and largely ignorant.
What?
Why don't we finish this conversation here?
I'll be having a visitor soon.
A visitor? Who?
So what does "boisterous" mean?
Hey.
It's the Marble the reason why I'm sick, right?
To be precise,
it's because you met a man born in the Year of the Tiger.
A man born in the Year of the Tiger?
Tigers are foxes' natural enemies, so we are vulnerable to their energy.
And it's worse for me
as I was born in the cursed year and became the only male gumiho.
[Men born in the Year of the Tiger are full of yang,]
[so they're my worst enemies.]
[And because you have my Marble,]
[you feel pain when you meet a man born in that year.]
Does that mean I'll be sick
until the Marble is removed from me?
-What are you doing... -Only my touch
can kill the pain.
That's ridiculous...
That's why I asked you to stay with me.
I thought you could use my company.
Why do I have so many things to pack?
So you're going to be preparing for a contest,
crashing at your friend's place?
Yes. If we win the prize, it will help us get a job.
What contest is it?
It's about a historical and cultural context.
You don't know what it is.
I can look it up.
It's official yet.
I think.
Right. My sleep mask.
Did you tell Mom about it?
Why don't you call her? It must be morning in the US now.
Don't you know our family motto?
[Live your life on your own!]
I can't bother her with such trivial matters. She's busy.
Gosh, stop bothering me and go away.
Stay away from a grown-up's business, teenager.
Fine...
would've been my answer if you weren't so suspicious.
No, I'm not.
Your eyes. Why do you roll your eyes like that?
Since when were you so serious about getting a job?
I mean, you're packing your back in the middle of the night.
Wait.
Are you seeing a guy?
Are you moving in with him?
What are you saying? Where did you get
such a naughty idea?
Right. I guess it's nonsense.
Actually, I trust in
us men's tastes.
Stop messing with me.
I already feel bad leaving you here alone.
Are you sure you're going to be okay?
Of course. I'm not a kid.
I'm barely at home anyway, because of the training.
Still.
It makes me feel bad to leave you here alone, in this empty house.
But I want you to know
that you're one of the biggest reasons why I decided to do this.
Because I love you.
I'm leaving you because I care about you.
You lost your mind.
Get back to packing.
I said I'm okay.
I was going to work out anyway.
Good luck. Don't fight with your friend.
And go easy on the drinks.
Okay. I'll hang in there
and try to come back alive.
"Come back alive"?
-From the battlefield called job hunting. -You're silly.
There's the taxi.
Hey, make sure to call me every two days.
If I don't answer, call the police.
Police?
I mean, it will be just girls there, so I'm a little worried.
What's there to be worried about?
Your face will protect you.
Why don't you get something for self-defense then?
-Self-defense? -Yes.
-Hi. -Welcome.
By any chance,
do you have any electroshock weapons here?
Of course, we do.
120,000 won.
What? That's expensive.
This should be enough, right?
Of course. You can overpower any regular person with this.
But he's not regular nor a person.
If you feel so insecure,
you can buy this too.
With this, you will be 100 percent safe.
Once it's sprayed on your face, it will burn for up to six hours.
It's 70,000 won.
Seven...
-I'll get this one only. -Sure. Suit yourself.
Thank you.
[A mangled body found in the middle of the city]
[is shocking the world.]
[“A Female Body Found in the Middle of the City Spreads Fear of Murder”] [is shocking the world.]
[Its abdomen and chest were mutilated,] [“A Female Body Found in the Middle of the City Spreads Fear of Murder”]
[as if someone tried to take its organs out,]
[and the crime was committed in the middle of downtown,]
[which are terrifying many citizens.]
Gosh. That's horrible.
Maybe the criminal wanted the organs.
Organs?
There must have been a motive.
It could have been a heart or a liver.
Liver?
-I'd like to get this spray too. -Okay. Thank you.
That would be 70,000 won. Thank you.
Gosh, that startled me.
Goodness.
Why is he giving me such a scary look?
But you were there just now. How can you be here?
I used my power of teleportation.
But why would you do that all of a sudden?
I thought I could help you with the heavy bag.
He's so kind I almost passed out.
You can use that room.
Okay. Thank you.
Right.
We don't even know each other's names yet.
My name is Shin Woo-yeo.
My name is Lee Dam.
Lee Dam.
May I call you Miss Dam from now?
Sure. However you want. Now, if you'll excuse me.
Why is this in my bag?
[Pepper Spray]
It says, once it's sprayed on your face, it will burn for up to six hours.
You have a pepper spray.
It's my present for you.
I see.
My mom said I should always bring a gift when I visit someone's house.
I couldn't have it wrapped because I was in a hurry,
but hope you like it.
It's a present.
A present.
I got them all stolen.
Stay strong.
What's this sound?
Are you okay, Miss Dam?
Oh, this.
I was just trimming the trees in the garden.
-Trimming the trees? -Yes.
They need to be pruned off.
But why would you do that in the middle of the night?
Foxes are nocturnal animals.
[Is that a liver?]
It's coagulated ox blood.
What? Ox blood?
It's one of my favorite foods.
The restaurant owner didn't close it properly.
I got the blood all over my hands earlier because of this
so I had to wash it off.
By the way, Miss Dam, you seem to get scared easily.
From now on, I'll make sure to finish it while it's fresh
so I don't scare you.
There's so much blood.
[I suddenly moved in with a gumiho.]
[I'm scared and nervous.]
[Will I ever get to sleep in peace]
[in this house?]
[Aren't you going to school, Miss Dam?]
[Miss Dam?]
I'm not nocturnal like you. Why would I go to school at night...
What? When did I fall asleep?
[Get ahold of yourself, Dam.]
[Gumihos trick humans, and he's one of them.]
[He's just a sly fox disguised as a good-looking man.]
Did you sleep well?
Yes, kind of.
You don't seem like you did though.
Why don't you have some warm goji berry tea?
Goji berries protect your liver and help you beat fatigue.
[What? Why would he worry about my liver?]
[What does he want to do with my liver?]
[-That sly fox.] -Right.
I don't know what you like yet, so I bought random things.
[That sly fox.]
I got some popsicles too.
[That sly fox.]
And I will pay your tuition.
That generous fox.
Why would you? You don't need to do that.
Well, you will have to live with some inconvenience here,
and I feel bad about it.
I thought I could pay your tuition to compensate for it
since you're a student.
It's okay though.
Do you want me to text the bill to you?
[Cash Deposit]
This covers both my tuition for the next semester and Dan's lessons!
Are you happy?
How could you laugh in this situation?
-Miss Dam. -Yes?
Do you want to talk to me?
Are you going somewhere?
I'm attending a book event.
I'm writing a book about humanities.
I see. So you have a job.
Even legendary animals can't avoid capitalism.
Not quite. Living a long life bores me.
-I see. -Anyway, I'm going to Singapore,
and I'll be away for a few days.
Okay.
Really?
You look so happy.
You must've been really uncomfortable around me.
That's not true. I wasn't. I'm not happy at all.
I'll see you later then.
What are you doing?
It's shapeshifting.
I don't want to make myself known too widely but,
I heard reporters might come.
Until I meet the staff from the publishing company,
I want to look like this.
I see. You have so many talents.
Okay, then. I'll leave for real now.
-Make sure to lock the door. -Okay.
Let me.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
[All right. Let's call it a day.]
Make sure to submit your assignment by the next week.
-Thank you, sir. -Thank you.
Bye.
Hey, Dam!
You scared me.
Why do you look so down? Are you still sick?
No, I'm fine now.
That's great. You're coming with us to the club then.
-Let's go. -The club?
We're throwing a farewell party for Ji-eun
because she's going to go study abroad.
Right.
I've been so busy these days I forgot about it.
But I can't be in a crowded place.
I can't either. I'm taking an English exam this weekend.
Still. We are not freshmen anymore who live like there's no tomorrow.
We've reached the age where we need to worry
about tomorrow's shame and frozen shoulders.
For sure.
And you're still wet behind your ears.
-You're coming. -You're coming.
-You're coming with us. -You have to.
-You're coming. -Let's go.
-Let's go! -Let's go!
Fine. Are we going now?
With that on?
-You've got no mercy. -You've got no conscience.
Okay. Let's go.
It's so crowded here.
Look at all the people.
Gosh, I'm so excited!
-Oh, my gosh. What happened? -What happened?
You look so gorgeous!
Where did you get those newest items?
Dam's mother is a fashion magazine editor.
She's in the US, and she sends her the clothes she used for photoshoots.
Which is why she was once called
a fashionable
alcoholic.
I haven't put on high heels in a while, and my legs hurt.
Let's go sit inside.
Sit? You're not sitting anywhere.
You're not sitting tonight.
Let's go!
Is this a club or a subway in the rush hours?
Hey, Dam! I'll go get some vodka.
Hey, wait up!
How old are you?
Why do you talk down to me? Do you know me?
Why did you touch my body without asking me?
Do you want to go to the police station with me and talk it out?
I apologize.
-Here. -Thank...
I like your style.
Don't take it so seriously. I'm just messing with you.
Do you want to have a drink with me?
[The Year of the Tiger.]
We booked a table over there.
Want to come?
Move. Move aside.
Move.
Mr. Shin, you did a great job today.
How about a glass of whiskey in the lounge?
My gosh.
[The person you have reached is not available. Please leave a message...]
How much did you drink?
Now I have to hold you.
[What do I do?]
[This is bad.]
[Hey, my body, please move.]
Let me take you to the place I know around here.
Is that okay with you?
[Please.]
[Please. Somebody help me.]
Are you okay?
[Please.]
[Please. Somebody help me.]
I've been looking for you.
Who are you?
I'm her friend. I'll take her from here.
How can I believe if you're her friend or not?
Why do you have my friend's phone?
-Because she's my friend. -Do you know her name?
Hey.
[I've sober up already,]
[but I can't find the right time to get up.]
Are you okay?
Do you want me to get you something warm?
If I order a cake, will you eat it?
I'd like a tiramisu.
I want you to rather scold me
for going to a club
even though I knew being in a crowded place could be dangerous
and making you come a long way
from work because of me.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
The Marble is fine, and so are you.
But from now on, I want you to avoid places like that,
for your sake.
-Okay. From now on... -And don't be scared.
What?
I know you're scared of me.
You're worried I might harm or threaten you.
I can see that.
-Well... -I understand.
Who wouldn't be scared of a gumiho?
But you're not just anyone.
You have my Marble,
and you need to be safe to keep my Marble safe.
So I need to protect you at all costs.
So why don't you try to be less scared of me?
It makes me feel bad
to see you being on pins and needles.
I'm sorry I've concerned you.
From now on, I'll try not to be scared of you
and not to repeat the same mistake.
-Promise me. -I promise.
You have to keep your word.
I will.
-Excuse me for a second. -Sure.
Hello?
Yes.
I thought he was a scary gumiho from ghost stories,
but he might be a nice fox from fairy tales.
Okay. Bye.
-Shall we? -Okay.
The Year of the Tiger.
I see.
By the way, is the Marble
visible only to you?
Yes.
What color is it?
-It's red. -Red. I see.
Do you think you can take it out?
I will try.
A human cannot hold the Marble for long anyway.
How long can a human hold it then?
A year, at most.
That means after one year of holding it,
it will be sorted out somehow.
Doesn't it?
Then what happens if it's not taken out within a year?
You will die.
What?
Miss Dam.
You will die.
