A few months ago, late at night, a giant of a man visited and introduced himself as Mr. Jeong, asking if he could borrow three nyang.

He was so massive. Since he was a man never seen in this village before, I thought I wouldn't get the money back if I lent it, but what choice did I have... I scraped together every coin I had to make three nyang and handed it over obediently.

But a few days later, that man came back, saying he came to repay the three nyang he borrowed, and gave it back exactly.

I took it, thinking it was a relief and that it was over.

But Mr. Jeong came back again not long after. This time, he said he was sorry for repaying the money so late and gave me three nyang and even a mal of rice.

When I looked up to refuse, saying I had already received it, Mr. Jeong had already vanished.

I brushed it off as a very strange occurrence, but after that, the man would visit every few days whenever I was about to forget, saying he was sorry for being late and giving me not only rice but also silk, and sometimes even flower shoes.

It was after he had visited three or four more times like that that I realized the man was a dokkaebi.
