Goblin

One

When a powerful desire indwells in things touched by mortal souls, they become goblins.

A blade smeared with blood from countless battles... Was enchanted with a powerful desire bedewed with its masters blood.

Only the bride of the goblin will be able to draw the blade.

Once drawn, everything will then to ashes and peace will be granted.

The girl laughed shaking her head and getting up, saying her farewell to the old man she had became friends with. The old man reached for her arm, stopping her.

"At a moment of life and death,make a wish with a powerful desire. A soft-hearted creator might grant you that wish."

Namjoon walked the sidewalks of the foreign country, lunch in hand. He stops at his destination.

The little boy runs out. Namjoon puts his hand out stopping him.

"I wouldn't do that of I were you. If you run away from home now, you'll be even more miserable." He told the kid, ignoring the bruises on his face. "You'll never see your mom again-"

"Who are you?" The boy asked "are you Korean?"

"Its complicated, its your turn now, speak to him in a loud clear voice.." He started moving the flower pot in the middle of the stairs. "Tell him 'you adopted me so that makes me your son take care of me.' Tell your mom it hurts."

"Who are you? get out of my way." The boy ignored him.
