Lore of track 9: Just to find out if it really works, Eun-ha calls Doom without being in danger—and invites him to dinner. They hear a weather-forecast. [Intro] I was bored at work when nobody called. No sales meant no new contracts. A few complaints I could still solve. But I did not want to work alone. It was lonelier than ghost photography. I wondered if normal people were really this lonely. [Verse 1] I wondered if I could call Doom without being in danger. It had sounded so simple: Call me Doom. So I just tried. And suddenly he stood before me. We both looked surprised. Then I saw the annoyance in his face. Oh, sorry Doom. I am actually not in danger. I only had to know if this really worked. [Verse 2] Doom? Yes, I tested calling you. His face looked unreadable. I tried to cheer him up. Are you my bodyguard now? [timeless male voice, loud] "NO!" [timeless male voice, soft] "no." Hearing him speak felt strangely comforting. Not even a little bit? A tiny little bit? He smiled. And I felt an unexpected bond. [Chorus] I called without danger. I called without fear. I only wanted to know if you would appear. No warning. No emergency. I called. You came. And I smiled. [Verse 3] I knew he would never say a word he did not need to say. So I tried another way. I could pay you for your company in suspicious estates. He shook his head. Not with money! I quickly added: Surely you do not need money. But maybe... with a dinner? [Bridge] He looked at me like I had asked something impossible. A dinner? Not a contract. Not a duty. Just a dinner. [Chorus] I called without danger. I called without fear. I only wanted to know if you would appear. No warning. No emergency. I called. You came. And I smiled. [Verse 4] I showed him how humans shared a table grill together. How to grill 삼겹살 How to wrap it. How to eat it. But I did not expect this. He watched once. Then he did it perfectly. Every piece was cooked exactly right. Nothing burned. Nothing failed. For a moment I thought: What a party pooper. But then I saw him. He was trying. [Verse 5] When we had finished 삼겹살 he did not leave. I wondered: Did he expect something? So I asked him: Do you like music? I managed to switch on the radio. I was proud of myself. But unfortunately there was no music. Only a weather warning. [spoken news-announcement] "During the next two days heavy storms may arrive. Please stay inside your houses as much as possible." [verse 6: female main voice] Sorry, there is no music, I said. Doom looked at the radio. He touched nothing. The station changed. Music appeared. [instrumental: k-pop-radio-music] I stared at him. How did you do that? He looked at me. [timeless male voice] "I didn't." ... [timeless male voice] "not with my hands." [Outro] Maybe he did not understand humans. Maybe I did not understand spirits. But that night we shared a table. 삼겹살
