"IT'S A DOKKAEBI!-"
SOMEONE EXCLAIMED AS THE CREATURE SPRUNG INTO VIEW.

*A DOKKAEBI IS A MYTHICAL CREATURE IN KOREAN CULTURE THAT IS SIMILAR TO A GOBLIN.

FLASH

!-

I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT SENTENCE POPPED INTO MY HEAD AT THAT MOMENT...

THE SUBWAY CAME TO A HALT,

AND THE ENTIRE CABIN GREW DARK..

"No way. Subways stop all the time."

The people in the subways grew more weak as fear consumed them, one of them unbothered but wondering which DOKKAEBI will show.

"A weak ones? Low on views? Or high on views?.. One of the strong DOKKAEBI?.. which one?..."

[UNKNOWN IDENTITY] thoughts begin to swallow their own brain, zoning out but deep in thoughts of their own..

THE OPENING LINES OF A VERY FAMILIAR STORY KEPT CROSSING MY MIND.

BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE..

THERE'S NO WAY..

"..A Dokkaebi?" The women dressed in formal for work questions herself.

"Sorry..?" The man asked her for an answer but instead of answering his question she kept looking at the creature in front of them.

REALISTICALLY SPEAKING, THERE WAS NO WAY THIS COULD BE TRUE.

IT WAS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE, BUT...

"TWO SMALL HORNS."
A DOWNY CREATURE WEARING A STRAW GARMENT WAS FLOATING MIDAIR.
IT WAS TOO PECULIAR TO BE CALLED A FAIRY, TOO MALICIOUS TO BE CALLED AN ANGEL, AND TOO INNOCENT LOOKING TO BE CALLED A DEVIL..
SO IT WAS...

A phone was showed with several paragraphs written on it.

"Two"
"Small"
"Horns"

"Look.."

"What is that?..."

MURMUR MURMUR

"Angel"

"Peculiar"

"Downy"

"Innocent Looking"

"Creature"

"Malicious"

"Straw Garment"

"Floating"

"Fairy"

"N-no way.. This is..."

The man in suit widen his eyes as he grew hesitate to believe his situation right now

SO WE CALL IT A "DOKKAEBI"
