Episode 8

What are you doing right now?

-What are you doing right now? -What did I do?

At this late time of night, alone with another man,

after being in an enclosed space together,

a melodramatic, childish rainy scene full of cliche—

Are you really being jealous right now?

What?

Do you like me?

-Look here— -Or!

Or someone asked you to do this?

Do you believe...

in mysterious beings?

I'll answer.

Answer what?

Why I'm being like this.

Fine, but honestly.

When I look at you,

my heart races.

But,

I don't know if it's because of you,

or if it's someone

from a very long time ago. I get confused.

Your face

becomes blurred with hers.

Every time that happens, my heart reacts.

But I am confused about who's really causing it.

So you're saying...

So I am the substitute?

What?

What the... what kind of chickensh*** is this?!

I answered her honestly. Why is she freaking out?

Who are you? Who are you to keep appearing in front of me?

Who are you to keep appearing in my dreams,

in my mind,

in my novel, why do you keep appearing?!

So it was because of that? When he was nice to me every once in a while,

when he was impulsive... it was all because of that?

Because I resemble his first love?

Then all this time, it wasn't me...

but that girl that he was looking at?

I really don't understand.

Why did she get so mad?

You've never dated, have you?

Who said that? That I've never dated.

How could you start compare her to other women in that situation?

Did I compare? I said that I was confused!

That's the same thing!

You said you saw someone else when you looked at her! What girl would like that? Of course she would get mad!

Hey, let's get something straight.

If what you say is true, Jeon Seol is the reincarnation of Ryu Soo Yeon.

- So she is getting made at herself? - But Jeon Seol doesn't know that!

She has no recollection of her previous life!

What is your IQ?

Can you not think of the hurt you give someone because of the words you speak?!

You little...!

Hey! Get out!

Novel or whatever, I will not work with you so get out immediately!

Who are you?

Seol! Are you okay?

Why are you sweating so much?

I... can't do this.

This is only the beginning, Mr. Writer.

No, I can't.

What am I lacking that I have to butt into someone else's love life?

When my own mind is complicated.

Yes, if you hang in there just a little bit...

So do I commit a sin with my writing...

I've lived my whole life with anxiety,

but now I even have to watch my words.

Ugh, I can't.

-If a man has taken out a sword— -If he took one, if he learned it's not the right situation, he should put it back!

That's a true spirit. I am sorry to say this, but

Let's pretend our deal never happened.

Good-bye. Hope you enter Nirvana.

Can't you just do it?

Excuse me. Please just clean this up.

I just lost my appetite all of a sudden.

-Please just do it. -Gosh, you scared me.

You sh—

Let me ask one thing.

What's the reason you're so obsessed with Jeon Seol?

Because she's as important to me as the completion of the novel.

Are you saying that you're trying to fulfill a previous love or what?

-Can I not? -Give it up.

I think the reason you couldn't make it to the Nirvana properly is because of that strong attachment.

Mr Writer, you really haven't loved anyone.

What?

If you've ever genuinely loved someone,

you wouldn't be able to say "give up" that easily.

Look here. You're a ghost,

and Jeon Seol is a human.

In any case, Jeon Seol can't even see you.

That's why! Until I find a way to show myself to Jeon Seol,

I'm asking you to keep watch over her surroundings.

What if Jeon Seol begins to like me in the process?

No way.

If you keep this up,

-there will be no chance of that ever happening. -Are you laughing condescendingly?

You are making what little compassion I have left for you disappear.

Forget it. Get out. I'm not helping.

I understand. Our contract ceases to exist from now on.

I expect you to take care of your confusing slump

all by yourself.

Wait!

Why are you being like this?

I got it. I'll do it.

I'll do it. Happy?

No. Please write a contract.

- Write you what? - A contract for our co-writing and living together in this house.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Ghostwriters Team @ Viki

Then shall we begin?

Collaborative Writing Agreement

-1. I, Han Se Ju -I, Yoo Jin Ho

Until the completion of the novel, live together, sleep together

Uh, um...

Live together ( Korean: dong-guh ). Not suffer together (dong-go), but live together.

We will live together and enjoy time together.

Han Se Ju will never, under any circumstances,

yell "get out" to Yoo Jin Oh.

When and how much did I do that in order for you to put that in the contract?

"When and how much did I"?

Get out!

Get out!

Alright, I'll accept

Yoo Jin Oh will not for personal entertainment purposes

interrupt Han Se Ju's working time.

When and how much did I interrupt you for personal reasons?

"When and how much did I?"

It's an earthquake!

Wait, Jeon Seol!

I understand. I'll accept.

Han Se Ju will not cause

physical and verbal violence to Yoo Jin Oh.

When and how much did I?

Come out!

I accept.

Yoo Jin Oh will not interrupt and cause confusion

while Han Se Ju is conversing with someone else.

I accept.

Han Se Ju will find a way that Yoo Jin Oh can show himself physically,

until he obtains the ability of possession,

-will protect Jeon Seol from any other men. -I accept.

Yoo Jin Oh will never use Han Se Ju

-as a body to possess. -I accept.

Han Se Ju will...

Will this complete our contract?

A contract with a ghost...

This feels absurd even though I am the one who did it.

Since we've become comrades on the same boat, I can speak informally? (Already speaking informally)

-Nope. -Alright. ( Formally )

About the writer's camp...

release a notice that it's been postponed.

What shall we say in the notice, so suddenly?

Skip the part about Writer Han's non-attendance,

and say that it was delayed because of some circumstance regarding our publishing company.

What should we do if they ask for reimbursements?

Reimburse them. If they start complaining just gently console them.

Shouldn't we just go forward with "Writer Baek's Camp"?

Do you think we can go forward with just Writer Baek?!

This is all an effort to use Han Se Ju's popularity to move forward together!

Writer Baek is supposed to come a little later to talk about the Writer's Camp... What should we tell him?

Just tell him whatever will work.

Hey, do I need to coach you on that too?!

Yes, Doctor. Did you get home safe that day?

Ah, yes. I was planning on giving you a call to tell you so.

Did you get a cold?

A little bit.

I heard the hospital sent you a text that Baek Seol can be discharged today,

but we didn't get a response.

I must have been in a lecture. I will come to the hospital.

Your cold seemed a little severe. Drink up.

It could be a sore throat, so you should replenish your fluids.

Thank you.

But why did you get rained on? Did you endure a love rejection or something?

When I look at you, my heart races.

But I don't know if it's because of you,

or if it's because of someone else

from a long time ago...

I get confused.

Well... I guess it's similar to a love rejection?

Sorry to burst your bubble,

but it's me they're looking at. Not you.

I know. But because I'm walking with you,

I feel like I've become a person for a moment.

You see, there's no one that would look at a ghost.

During my days in Kyeongseong, when I walked the streets with Hwi Yeong

I enjoyed the looks of admiration from female students alone.

Of course you did.

Indeed, my popularity was like a wall too high to climb.

You must've been born with that bluff.

So where are we going now?

We're going to start our agreement.

What are you doing right now?

Don't you remember you ripped Jeon Seol's handbag? You need to make up for it.

You pick the bag and I swipe the credit card?

Yes, as you can see I'm a ghost, so I don't have any money to spend.

What do you think about this one?
