TO ACTUAL PERSONS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, SETTINGS, AND EVENTS

FINANCIAL CHIEF MANAGER OF CONGLOMERATE MR. CHA FOUND HANGING IN PUBLIC BATHROOM

Jeong Gu-won?

You have something precious to me.

I want you to be more responsible.

Acid?

Are you…

So I wasn't seeing things the other day.

What…

are you?

I'm…

a demon.

You humans call me…

the devil.

EPISODE 3 JOINING HANDS WITH A DEMON

We analyzed the liquid on the ground,

and it turned out to be sulfuric acid.

Had it splashed directly onto your face in that concentration and amount,

it would've melted it and could've been fatal.

It's highly likely that they're targeting you.

Is there anyone you suspect?

I'm Cha Tae-jun, the head of Mirae Group's financial team.

I'm reaching out to share an important piece of information.

Does anything come to mind?

No.

I can't think of anyone who would resent me enough to do this.

Humans are so insignificant.

Come in.

Move along.

Line up here.

Hurry up!

Do gambling houses let homeless people in these days?

Business is slow for them.

Where do you think you're going?

Let go! You can't do this to a lady!

I'll question you first since you're in such a hurry.

Go sit down, all of you.

Sit down.

What's your resident ID number?

Drink this while you wait, sir.

I don't drink rubbish like this.

You and your attitude.

Did you live abroad or something?

Don't get me wrong. I'm older than I look.

I see. Okay, sure.

BACKGROUND CHECK

Her name actually means "lady."

NOH SUK-NYEO UNCLEAR

What's taking Do Do-hee so long?

What the hell?

The wonderful aroma of Arabica.

You're hanging by a thread now.

You might actually die.

And in a very…

insignificant way at that.

Why are there so many crazy humans these days?

Are you finished?

You've been waiting for her?

It must be reassuring to have him.

Please keep me updated on the investigation.

I will. Have a safe trip home.

Don't you think

the two of them will get married?

I highly doubt it.

The roulette wheel's finally spinning.

-The roulette? -Yes.

I'm betting everything on an odd number.

Is it that hard to keep yourself safe?

What if I had been even a second late?

My precious tattoo would have burned away.

So you're saying that you're a demon?

So you're the devil. Why call yourself a demon?

What are you, a Pokémon?

A Poké…

Listen carefully.

A demon is an extremely noble being whose goal is to make deals with humans.

What kind of deals?

Simply put, I grant humans' wishes.

-Like a genie in a bottle? -Don't you compare me to that beefy Smurf.

You've seen what I can do. If I wasn't a demon, what would else I be?

We normally call the likes of you superhumans.

Forget it. Think whatever you want.

-Then you are a genie-- -Except for that.

To be honest,

I don't care whether you're a devil or an angel.

-You don't believe me. -That's not the point.

The point is that you possess amazing powers

and that I have your tattoo, the source of them all.

So you don't believe me.

No, I don't.

I knew it.

You humans are always so doubtful.

I was wondering why you were so obsessed with the tattoo.

Things must've been pretty rough for you.

You need to stay close to me to use your powers,

but you have no excuse to do that.

You're not my ex, much less my boyfriend.

What you need right now

seems to be a title that would let you stay close to me.

-Am I wrong? -What are you trying to say?

We share the same fate.

That's what I'm trying to say.

The same fate?

We're in the same boat now.

And there's a way for both of us to get what we want.

Which is?

You're going to be my bodyguard.

Bodyguard? What do you mean?

Let me break it down for you.

A bodyguard is someone who protects their client from--

I know what a bodyguard does.

I'm a demon.

Are you telling me to protect some insignificant human?

You could tell yourself

that you're protecting your precious tattoo instead.

-No. -If protecting's not your thing,

think of it as fighting the bad guys.

You want me to fight on your behalf?

Do you actually think I'm a Pokémon?

You'd be in trouble if I died, no?

What would happen to your tattoo if I died?

As you know,

I'm in danger right now.

I don't know who's after me or why,

but someone's out to kill me.

You need your tattoo,

and I need your powers.

This is the only way for both of us to get what we want.

Don't you agree?

-So will you be my bodyguard? -My answer is a firm no.

Then what do you suggest? Do you have a better idea?

I don't know, but I won't be your bodyguard.

-Where are you going? -The creep might try his luck again.

I'll walk you to your door.

That's exactly what a bodyguard does. There's not much to it.

I said I'll never be your bodyguard.

Get in front of me. I'll watch your back.

How's the security here?

Do you not hear yourself?

SUNWOL FOUNDATION

I'm incredible as…

Oops, my bad.

Maybe not.

To think my amazing powers

depend on the wrist of such an insignificant and weak human being.

What if he breaks into her place?

If she dies and I lose my powers for good,

how am I to make deals?

Just be her bodyguard if you're so worried.

Don't be ridiculous.

How can a demon become a bodyguard?

Demons used to be bodyguards.

What nonsense is that?

"Demons originally existed among humans

and protected them as their guardians."

Guardians are basically bodyguards.

I don't want to be either.

I'm cut out to be a demon.

How did you get this out anyway?

I was tidying up your desk.

By the way,

what if Do Do-hee runs her mouth about your identity?

She doesn't even believe I'm a demon.

And you know how humans are.

I saw the devil.

-Oh, my. -Dear Lord.

What did the devil look like?

The devil showed up in front of me

as the man of my dreams in order to tempt my soul.

A chiseled and well-proportioned nose.

Skin as smooth as porcelain.

Sexy yet innocent lips.

Most importantly,

he had this melancholy look in his eyes.

Even his voice was like music to my ears.

I ended up

falling in love with the devil.

No one will believe I exist,

and they will soon forget

ever hearing about me.

You're right.

I got flogged big time in my past life for saying I'd seen an evil spirit.

My butt still aches when it rains.

You're exaggerating. That wasn't even in this life.

Anyway, would your powers really disappear if Do Do-hee died?

I have no idea. That's why I'm so anxious.

Something bad might happen.

This damn manual is full of threats and has no useful information.

I should just throw it away and…

No, I shouldn't.

So you admit it's a manual?

All I want is to have my peaceful and comfortable life back.

I just want to live eternally

as an apex predator who never ages or dies.

Is that too much to ask?

-You're not hiding it? -You'll find it anyway.

I quite liked the challenge.

Seriously…

Be my bodyguard.
