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:  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.

Marc: Nice? (laughs)

Jae:  Well, there’s the samjoko. He’s beautiful. As long as he’s not digging his talons through your skin.
  


   
Marc:  Right. Not recommended.

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!
