Original subtitles

A long, long time ago,

there was a being who was neither human nor demon.

It was a beautiful life born of a human and a Gumiho.

The Gumihos looked down on him,

and humans were afraid of him, as he's a fox that would eat human organs.

He felt belonging to neither of those two places.

He had no choice but to live alone over the boundary.

He's honest and innocent.

He tried not to hurt anyone.

Even if it's a little kindness, he's sincere.

But the world didn't know his sincerity.

Every word he speaks,

or his silence, can sometimes be taken as lies.

And a choice he made was seen as a betrayal.

At the end of the day, he's not a human nor a fox.

He was forced to have nowhere to go.

At the gate of Seorabeol,

[T/N: Seorabeol is the capital of Silla, now Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province.]

the day Queen Seondeok arrived,

he looked up at the sky and prayed.

I dare not admire you;

I just want a place I belong to in this world.

Be it with the humans or the Gumihos.

I just hope for a name I can live in.

After saying that, he fell asleep.

The Queen pitied him,

passed by him, and put a gold bracelet on his chest.

When he woke up,

the first thing that came to his heart was not joy,

but a strong feeling of missing and unspeakable regret.

These thoughts burned throughout his body.

He was swallowed by this blazing energy

and eventually became the symbol of fire:

the God of Fire.

Since that day,

his name Jigwi

became a metaphor for someone who doesn't fit in anywhere.

[The Story of Bihyung]

This person is in trouble.

Since the gate of hell is open,

all ghosts will come running to him.

Sorry!

Interesting.

So sweet.

Grandpa?

Come here.

Grandpa!

Move! There are cars!

Grandpa, it's dangerous!

Grandpa!

Move! It's dangerous! There are cars!

Car!

Grandpa!

Move! There's a car coming!

Grandpa!

Hey! Grandpa!

Th-There's a car!

Move!

Don't move.

You'll die if you go there now.

Let go of me!

Please, let me go!

What was that?

Does that lady think I'm an old man?

Am I that delicious?

Are you crazy?

I mean, you said to ghosts,

I smell like freshly fried chicken.

C-Chicken?

Are you a wizard or something?

Or...

Hey!

Sorry. I'm just wondering if you're a monk wearing a wig.

Have you ever seen a monk as handsome as me?

What do you work as?

Well...

It's a national secret.

Jobless? I knew it.

Then why am I fine when I'm with you?

Because those demons are afraid of me.

Why?

Do you have an amulet?

Well... Let's just say I have a talent.

What?

Nothing.

It sounds like a reason you'd give.

What are you doing?

Well, you said they can't get close if I'm next to you.

The ghosts.

You're really one to not suspect anything.

Wait.

Besides ghosts, do other creatures exist too?

What other creatures?

There are things like that.

Like Gumiho, dragons, werewolves.

Is that all?

What? There are more?

Why would things like this happen to me?

There's a way.

What?

Just receive energy from me.

Energy?

Hey!

I'm taking the energy.

Do you think I'm some sort of ghost repellent?

We have to go through a process for this.

I'm not an actor yet.

I can't die bewitched by a ghost yet.

Please help me.

What help.

I need you too.

To be precise, it's your essence.

What?

Just like how you can't see ghosts with me around,

I get better with you around me.

I'm not malnourished.

I just lack essence.

In that case, how do I give you this so-called essence?

Physical contact.

Take it.

Why are you so easy?

You're a grown man. Don't you know how to be reserved?

Have some self-respect!

Aren't we helping each other? Jeez.

Oh.

[Article 1: Bi]

Wait for me.

[Article 1: Bihyung will do his best to help Keumbok not see ghosts.]

[Article 2: Keumbok will do his best to help Bihyung gain essence.]

Here. Sign it.

What is this?

A contract.

That you'd become my ghost repellent.

[Article 1: Bihyung will do his best to help Keumbok not see ghosts. Article 2: Keumbok will do his best to help Bihyung gain essence.]

As for me,

when you need it, I can give you an ample amount of essence.

Something like a walking essence lunch box for you?

Lunch box?

One more.

Article 3,

the contract is valid only up till 16th of the lunar calendar.

The 16th?

Why just up till the 16th?

That's the day the ghosts will go around kicking up a fuss.

After that day, I'll be fine without you.

Then what about me?

What if I still see ghosts after the 16th?

I'll get you back to normal before then.

I will do it somehow.

Whether it's keeping the promise

or protecting you.

Wow. You were kind of cool just now.

Then you have to move out of my house the next day.

Jeez!

I know! Even if you ask me to stay, I'll leave!

I'll leave even if you beg me not to!

I won't stop you!

-You're too much. -Tsk.

Gosh.

Goodness.

Why did you eat that?

I'm sorry.

I'm just used to tasting things with my hands.

I'm going to add an article.

Huh?

Article 4.

[Article 4]

Without Bihyung's permission,

Ha Keumbok cannot

get too close suddenly.

[Article 4: Without Bihyung's permission, Ha Keumbok cannot get too close suddenly.]

Gosh.

Why?

You're not willing?

What are you talking about?

Let's do that.

Brat.

I'm generous so I won't argue with you.

Generous?

I mean, well...

You need my essence because you were born with it.

Yet I only became like this suddenly.

I just thought you must've been through a lot.

Let's go.

Here.

Why do you have this?

I just picked it up just now.

Where did you get this?

Before I came to Seoul, my grandpa gave me this amulet.

Why?

It looks like something I've seen before.

Where did your grandpa pick this up?

He said I picked it up when I was a kid.

My grandpa kept it since then.

Since I picked it up, I suddenly recovered.

That's really your amulet.

I threw mine away.

Excuse me.

Can I hold onto you?

It's night, after all.

Are you a kid? Why are you scared?

You have my energy on you, so you will be fine for a while.

Even so...

You're faster than me. Since you have long legs.

Thank you for today.

I know.

I'm sorry.

If you're sorry, buy me ice cream.

You want a lot of things.

You said you were sorry.

I don't feel sorry anymore.

How can you do that?

Whatever. Shoo.

Then I'll see ghosts again.

What ice cream do you want?

Gosh. What a pain.

You'll get a stomach upset.

Where's the thing I asked you to find?

Why are you suddenly looking for books on divine sicknesses?

I have a sickness after all.

I want to cure it.

The one you talked about?

But why are you curing it?

'Cause I caused it.

What?

Are you saying you came into physical contact with a human?

So intense that the gate of hell opened?

What happened?

Do you have photos of them?

How pretty does this human have to be?

Why didn't Gildal tell me?

Oh. Are they a man or a woman?

He's just like that guy.

Could it be

the person who was your owner?

Don't tell me you are expecting him

to be a reborn of your master.

You know that too.

If he were your master, he would have recognized you.

No matter how many times they've been reborn.

I don't have any expectations.

It's been a thousand years.

If he wanted to find me,

he would have come to me.

Where are you going?

Have some squid before leaving!

To look cold normally, but when I smile, I'd look cute.

My nose bridge should be about this tall.

Round and cute.

Thick double eyelids would be nice.

That'd give me sharp and charismatic eyes.

Someone that everyone would think is handsome; like a city guy.

I want to praise you for being so specific...

Why don't you just bring me someone who looks like this

so I can just put their head on you.

But doctor, that's not plastic surgery anymore.

I can assure you that the side effect will be less by doing that.

In other words...

I'm afraid you can never be a "city guy" in this lifetime.

I didn't expect you to really come.

What?

You said you wanted to have a new image for your audition, right?

Do you want to get some fillers?

I'll give you a discount.

Actually, I don't have any money.

Then why are you here?

Well, the Face Evaluation...

I mean, someone recommended this to me.

I thought I should do something about it first.

I'm... really desperate.

You're really...

Reckless?

That's one thing.

You're so naive.

Come in.

I'll give you a ride.

I've taken care of everything. What about you?

I've eliminated most of the things you mentioned.

Clear up whatever you see.

Okay. But why are you suddenly doing this?

Can I hold onto you?

It's night, after all.

The kid said he's afraid of walking at night.

You don't have to send me home.

I want to.

Why?

I just think you're probably quite popular.

This just feels like a foul.

What do you mean?

There are people like that.

They don't have any interest,

but would subconsciously make other people's hearts flutter.

Then what are you?

Zero foul type?

What?

Or that you're the type so innocent that

you'd make people feel guilty?

Hold on.

[Gildal]

Yes, hyung.

Yes, I'm on my way back.

You want to pick me up?

It's fine, I'm not a kid.

Okay.

See you at home.

Okay.

Your partner?

What?

I guess you haven't started dating.

Wasn't the person who called just now your partner?

No! We are just roommates!

Roommates...

Oh... Roommates that live together.

Yes.

You really live here?

What?

Nothing.

I just think it's fate.

Someone I know lives here too.

No way!

Is it Gildal?

Yes.

Wow.

Are you friends with him?

That's amazing!

Gildal was the one who invited me to stay with him after all.

That's interesting.

Right?

He's someone who doesn't allow anyone to get close to him.

Thank you.

I'm curious what secret you've used.

Keumbok.

See you again.

Huh? When?

Anytime. As long as you're free.

I have a lot of time.

But why?

I just think I might want to see you.

Sure!

I've never made friends in Seoul.

Not as a friend.

What?

I'm asking you out on a date.

What?
