It was a slow day at the chicken shop again, Nari was popping the bubblegum in her mouth, watching the Bride mop the floors, when she started to think about Yoongi and the Goblin.
"Do you believe in past lives'?" Nari asked the Bride, who stopped mopping and thought for a moment.
"My mum used to tell me this - we have four lives; one to plant seeds, one to grow, one to harvest, to one use what's been harvested." the Bride explained.
"You could've just said yes." Nari laughed.
-
And that's what brings her to the Goblin's and Yoongi's home - thanks to the Bride who tells her where to go. She presses the button for the doorbell and is stood waiting for a couple of minutes — purely because the Goblin is scared to open the door, normally people just walk in, the doorbell means someone new.
But once he does open the door, he's met with Nari.
"Okay, 'brother', let's talk."
—
Nari is a little surprised to see that Yoongi lives here too, she sees him coming out of his room dressed in what she guesses his work attire — she still doesn't know what he does for a living.
"Oh, hello Yoongi." She smiles at him, causing him to freeze as his heartbeat rises, he waves at her with a shy smile and is quick to leave, leaving her confused but the Goblin is quick to offer her something to drink and asks her to sit before they get into business.
He shows her the painting, the painting of herself in her past life, which causes her to ask all sorts of questions.
"Was she happy?"
"Did she live a long and happy life?"
And so the Goblin tells her everything; from marrying the king, all the way up to her death, how foolish she was for loving and protecting someone who ultimately led her to her death.
Nari feels a sharp pain in her chest, causing her to wince and she tries to rub it away.
"Did the... Was the king reincarnated too?" She asks.
"I don't know."
—
Nari has been home since then, the pain hasn't left her chest since. But then something resonates in Nari; how could he know all that about a girl from hundreds of years ago.
He's a Goblin
And her friend is the Bride
Who really is Min Yoongi?
