Interview
Charlize:
Well! Okay then. How about you Marc? You’re not related to Jae so how did you
get involved in this whole mess?
Marc:
Yeah, definitely not related. (Winks at Jae) I’m a part of a secret
organization called the Guardians of Shinshi and I was assigned to protect Jae.
Jae: As if I need protection
Charlize: Well! Okay
then. How about you Marc? You’re not related to Jae so how did you get involved
in this whole mess?
Marc: Yeah, definitely not related. (Winks at
Jae) I’m a part of a secret organization called the Guardians of Shinshi and I
was assigned to protect Jae.
Jae: As if I need
protection
Marc: (shrugs) Touché.
Charlize: Fascinating! So
tell me a little about these creatures you encounter.
Jae: Well, there’s the dokkaebi.
Marc: Those dudes? Man, they’re annoying little devils. Best way to deal with them is walk away.
Jae: Well, there’s the dokkaebi.
Marc: Those dudes? Man, they’re annoying little devils. Best way to deal with them is walk away.
Jae: And then there’s the gwishin. Thanks to those ghosts, I still
have trouble turning on faucets.
Marc: I thought they were the reason you
covered the mirrors.
Jae: (Glares at Marc)
No, you can thank Kud, the god of darkness, for my obsession of mirror covering.
Charlize: (bites nails) Oh dear. Perhaps we should focus on nice creatures.
Charlize: (bites nails) Oh dear. Perhaps we should focus on nice creatures.
Marc: Nice? (laughs)
Jae: Well, there’s the samjoko. He’s beautiful. As long as he’s not digging his talons
through your skin.
Charlize: (Looking a little green) I’m just so glad that we have you two to take care of all this.
Marc: Who, us? Man, we’re heading out to Bora Bora right after this interview. (Holds up plane tickets) First class, baby!
Jae: I’m so in need of a break. Everyone
just expects me to fight off these monsters, and be all brave and suck it up
when my family and friends keep dying. How would you feel if that happened to
you?
Charlize: Well, I just don’t know.
Jae: Yeah, that’s what I thought. You wouldn’t like it so much
either.
Marc: (Standing) We’ve
got to jet. Literally.
Jae: (Smiles apologetically) Bora Bora calls. Let’s just hope there
are no mythological creatures there. They don’t have any myths on those
islands, do they?
Charlize: Thank you both
so much for joining us today and giving us your insights! Before you all
leave, don’t forget about the giveaway that Apryl is hosting! See below for details!
