NO TAIL TO TELL
What if…
I don't want to be normal?
[tender music playing]
What?
If you're just going to erase my memory
and be the only one who remembers this moment,
then I should be allowed to do at least this much, right?
What do you mean…
What… [hesitates] …do you think you're doing?
Unlike you, I'm not good at doing things half-heartedly.
If I decide to do something, I have to put all my heart into it.
Wait. What do you mean?
Let's date. For real.
I'm serious.
You're still wet behind the ears. Where did you learn to do that?
What do you think you're doing?
[Si-yeol] Why are you so flustered?
- Is there a problem? - Of course there is.
Once we go back to how we were, we'll never see each other again.
So you coming on so strong like this
is overwhelming.
Then you shouldn't have led me on.
I'm just getting started.
Why? Do you want to stop?
[clicks tongue]
When did I ever lead you on?
[inhales deeply]
Don't think about running, and don't just dip your toes in.
Let's do this right. You and I both.
From now on, I'm done joking around.

EPISODE 9 LOVE ATTACK
[breathes shakily]
That nine-tailed fox.
She said she became human.
- [Woo-seok gasps] - What?
- [unsettling music playing] - She's just an ordinary human now.
[Yoon] An ordinary human?
An ordinary human.
[gasps softly]
Then that fox
has no power anymore,
and there's no reason to be afraid of her.
[laughs heartily]
This just got interesting. [chuckles]
What are you going to do?
- About what? - What do you think?
Now that things are in our favor, you're not going after that damn fox?
Why should I?
What?
Whether I skin it or roast it,
I won't get blood on my hands unless there's something to gain.
[sighs] Wait, what does that…
They say cultivated beasts have an orb.
Dragons hold dragon orbs to call the wind and rain.
Nine-tailed foxes have fox beads to perform their infinite tricks.
But if that fox really became an ordinary human,
her bead must've already shattered and vanished.
So, I'm not interested anymore.
But look at what we suffered
because of that damn beast that's not even human!
We were hiding like rats, cowering in fear!
Am I the only one who feels like shit?
You all do, don't you?
- Didn't I tell you before? - [Woo-seok groans]
A hunter doesn't hunt because of a personal grudge.
Damn you.
- [huffs] - [music concludes]
Wait a second.
[ominous music playing]
Then who erased your memory?
[echoing jingle]
[gasps]
She's an ordinary human now. How could she have erased your memories?
[echoing whoosh]
[gasps]
What trick are you trying to pull?
[straining] She's not the one
who did it.
Then who was it?
[Woo-seok] I don't know if she was a nine-tailed fox or what,
but there was someone else there.
[feint echoing jingle]
[Woo-seok gasps]
[grunts]
[music concludes]
[birds chirping]
- [sighs deeply] - [tender music playing]
[Si-yeol] Let's date. For real.
I'm serious.
[echoing whimper]
[breathes shakily]
This is driving me nuts.
What's wrong with me? I couldn't sleep at all.
And why am I so thirsty?
Gosh.
I'm dying of thirst, but it's too awkward to go out.
[music concludes]
- [Si-yeol gulps] - [quirky music playing]
[breathes rapidly]
What was I thinking yesterday?
Unlike you, I'm not good at doing things half-heartedly.
If I decide to do something, I have to put all my heart into it.
Put all my heart into what?
Then you shouldn't have led me on.
I'm just getting started.
- [echoing baby crying] - [groans] What's wrong with me?
I must've lost it.
[breathes rapidly]
She's going to wake up soon.
It's going to be so awkward. How am I supposed to face her?
[breathes deeply]
[sighs]
[chime rings]
[quirky music continues]
Did he really leave?
[clears throat loudly]
[sighs]
[gasps]
[gulping rapidly]
- [music concludes] - This is so awkward.
[sighs]
He could've just played along.
Why did he suddenly get so bold?
I didn't expect him to just…
It caught me off guard.
[breathes heavily]
- [door keypad beeps] - [fox yipping]
Oh, crap.
[door lock chimes]
[gasps]
- [wobbly whoosh] - [door closes]
[keypad beeps]

Uh… [chuckles]
Hi, did you sleep well?
Yeah. [chuckles]
What are you doing?
Oh, this…
- [thud] - [cups rattle]
[Eun-ho groans]
[Si-yeol clears throat]
Nothing.
I was just picking something up.
[chuckles nervously]
I see.
[clears throat]
Leave or just stay. Make up your mind.
Why do you keep going back and forth? It's confusing.
Oh, I forgot to give you this.
[echoing plop]
I'm heading out to exercise.
I might be late, and you could get hungry.
You should use this to buy yourself something to eat.
Okay.
[Si-yeol clears throat]
But why are you suddenly exercising at the crack of dawn?
Well,
I recently realized
that my body's a total wreck right now.
My balance is off, and I don't have any stamina.
I see.
[grunts softly]
Okay, well…
I'm off to work out.
Oh, sure.
- [Si-yeol] Okay. - [Eun-ho] Yeah.
[fox yipping]
[Si-yeol exhales]
Do you…
want to come along?
What?
[music concludes]
[sighs]
- Si-yeol. - [keypad clacking]
- [pensive music playing] - [Woo-seok] The thing is…
my memory came back.
What are you people planning to do?
You don't have to worry about your friend.
I'm only interested in the fox bead.
[Woo-seok] It's not like Si-yeol will be in any real danger.
I should just stay out of this.
Then whatever happens isn't my fault.
[sighs heavily]
But what if they actually kill that nine-tailed fox?
Would Si-yeol have to live my life forever?
[Sang-cheol] Gosh.
[music fades]
[Sang-cheol] Woo-seok.
- Oh. Dad. - [groans]
You feeling okay?
It's not like I drank last night,
but I don't remember a thing.
Are you sure you're okay?
Don't even ask.
Maybe it was all the stress from getting the press to bury the story
of you beating someone up last week.
- [sighs] - Man, I totally blacked out.
Is it morning already?
Today's the call-up for the international match!
- International match? - Man, what time is it?
We've got to get ready fast.
Go wash up. I'll pack your bags.
[door opens]
[soft melancholic music playing]
[sighs deeply]
- [birds chirping] - [music concludes]
Let's start with some stretching.
- Stretching? - Like this.
Keep your feet straight.
- [Eun-ho] Okay. - Good job.
- Now go down. Reach. - [Eun-ho] Okay.
[groans, hisses]
[goofy music playing]
Wait, is that it?
Yeah.
What? Surely not.
Let's try again. There's no way a human body can be that stiff.
- What? - [Si-yeol] Hm.
Now, breathe out.
[shrieks, groans]
[whimpers]
- I can't go any lower. - That's really it?
[shrieks]
- Something's wrong with you. - What?
Okay, breathe out.
- Exhale. - [exhales, shrieks]
[Si-yeol] See? You can go lower.
One, two, three, four.
Breathe out.
- Exhale. - I am!
- Now, the sides. The other side. - [Eun-ho wailing]
- Exhale. - [Eun-ho wailing]
Let go, Si-yeol.
- Let go! - You're fine.
I'm telling you, I'm not!
- Stretch! - I'm going to kill you!
- Good job. - [wails, exhales deeply]
- Done resting? - What?
- [Si-yeol] Now, exhale. - Exhale.
- [Si-yeol] Exhale. - Exhale!
- [echoing wail] - [music concludes]
[wearily] Si-yeol, I think I'm done.
- What? - I'm done exercising for today.
What are you talking about? We only just finished stretching.
Let's run a bit.
No. You go.
I'm going to rest here for a bit.
Running just makes you sweaty.
That's exactly why you run.
[clears throat]
Look at them running. Don't they look cool?
Running will make you feel great.
[echoing chime]
- [soft quirky music playing] - [Si-yeol] Okay, one, two, one, two, one.
[Eun-ho panting] Si-yeol, how far do we have to run?
Let's run just up to there. Come on, you can do it!
[pants]
You got this. Let's go!
That's it.
[panting]
[sighs contentedly]
Why on earth do humans do this
instead of using perfectly good cars?
[pants]
Isn't this self-torture?
Here.
The water tastes so good, right?
Yeah, I feel much better.
And the breeze is cool.
Doesn't it feel good?
[breathes deeply]
I guess.
You did great.
I thought you'd quit halfway, but you stuck with it.
This is nothing.
[chuckles]
[sighs dramatically]
- Man, it's hot. - [music concludes]
You'll catch a cold if you take that off now.
[tender music playing]
There.
We're already warmed up. Do you want to do a bit more?
What?
Wait. Run more?
[chuckles] No.
Let's go play some soccer.
[music fades]
- Do you want to make a bet? - A bet?
If you can take this ball from me, I'll grant you a wish.
- For real? - [Si-yeol] Of course.
How hard could it be to take the ball from you?
- [upbeat pop song playing] - Anything I want, right? No take-backs.
Are you even trying?
[scoffs]
Just you wait.
[Si-yeol chuckles]
Whoa, easy with the hands.
[chuckles]
[Eun-ho] Hey.
[grunting]
Wait. [chuckles]
[upbeat pop song continues]
- [grunts] - [groans]
Ah! [grunts]
[chuckles]
Hey, that's a foul!
How is that a foul?
Here.
Ok-sun, try harder. Are you giving up already?
You're wearing knee pads, right?
[Si-yeol] What? [chuckles]
[grunts]
- [Eun-ho] Yes! - Hey, that's a foul.
That was really a foul.
[upbeat pop song continues]
[Eun-ho grunts]
- I won, right? - What?
Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?
No, it's nothing.
Want to go again? It's fun now that I took it from you.
Let's do it. No fouls this time.
You too.
- [Eun-ho chuckling] - [chuckles] Hey, wait. I said no fouls.
- [song concludes] - [reeds rustling]
[Eun-ho] What should I wish for?
I've only ever granted wishes. I've never made one myself,
so I don't know what to ask for.
Hey, I told you that was a foul.
Says who? You didn't say that at the start.
Do I really have to explain that kicking someone's shins is a foul?
Don't be petty. Just admit I won.
You're a pro. Do you really have to try that hard to beat a regular person?
[scoffs]
Jeez, you always have a comeback.
Fine, let's just say you won.
Yes!
[Si-yeol sighs contentedly]
[clears throat]
- Give me your hand. - What?
[tender music playing]
We're on a date right now.
I just want to hold hands while we walk.
[hesitates] So, what should we do when we get home?
Actually, I'm not going home. I've got to go train right away.
What do you mean? We've been working out this whole time.
That was just my own workout. Now I have to train with the team.
Why bother? It won't matter once we go back.
I have to make money.
They said I need to win matches to get paid a decent amount.
Plus, we don't have much to do right now.
Don't we have to wait until that chairman actually hands over the building?
Well, yeah.
After I get my win bonus from this weekend's match,
I'll treat you to something nice. Something better than pork cutlets.
[tender music continues]
No, wait.
Eun-ho, should we go on a trip?
A trip? Just like that?
Well, the match this weekend is in Suncheon.
I heard the reed fields are nice there.
We could go together, look around, and get something nice to eat.
How about it?
Sure, whatever.
That's a promise.
Then, you should go home and rest.
You must be tired from all that exercise.
Actually, I just remembered I have something to do today.
What is it?
We need money for the trip. I'll make some while you train.
- You? - [Eun-ho] I told you.
You should just focus on soccer
because I'll bring home tons of money.
[chuckles softly]

Why are you so nervous? It's not like you.

Why are you only filming Woo-seok? Get me too.

Man, that's harsh.
Hey, why haven't you been answering my DMs?
You mean… I haven't been?

You need to get this on camera.

Why aren't you here? Isn't it training time?
What are you talking about? Training was canceled.
You didn't get the message earlier?
Tell Si-yeol to come.
Hey, you want to join us? We're at the internet cafe out front.
We have a match this weekend. Why did they cancel training?
Never mind. Just get over here.
Let's train by ourselves.
Hello… Hello?

Man, he's exhausting.

Excuse me?
Nothing. Fine.

Yeah. Didn't you get the message?
What we need is more practice, so how could you…
Man.

Wait. What is that smell?

Coach, were you drinking?
The match is right around the corner,
but you canceled practice, and now this?
Gosh, I'm hungover.
Si-yeol, did you eat yet?
Pardon?
Let's go grab a bite.

Gosh.

- [customer] What is this? - It's totally burnt.
You expect us to eat this?
Should I throw it away then? That's wasteful.
Man, I burnt another one.
It's because you kept talking to me.
Just eat and move along.

I'm not buying this.

Also, I like being cashier, so don't file a complaint.

Gosh, this is chaos.
Maybe I should've just let them complain.
Excuse me.
[Eun-ho] A check?
You don't have cash or a card?
Why? Is there a problem?
Just use a card. I don't know how to process that.
If you have a problem with that, you should file a complaint.
- Excuse me? - A complaint.
Ma'am, let me help you with that.
[music concludes]
Just press this, and then this for checks.
Get a signature on the back and give her the change.
Okay. Thanks.

Gosh. [exhales]
Who drinks soju like it's water?
[sighs]
What's going on?
Hey, Si-yeol.
We're done for.
What do you mean?
I'm talking about our team, you punk.
Come on, Coach.
We're last in the fourth division. We can't get any lower.
How can we be "done for"?
I told you, I'll get us promoted.
Promotion doesn't even matter.
You know
the director who sponsors us, right?
The director at my grandma's nursing home?
Yes, him.
Well, that director said
he can't sponsor us anymore.
- What? - [soft pensive music playing]
A sponsorship contract isn't a joke.
He can't just break it overnight.
Well, what else can we do?
Like you said, we're in the fourth division.
It's not exactly good publicity to sponsor the last-place team.
The director was just sponsoring us for years
as a service to the community because he liked soccer.
But he said he can't afford it anymore, so there's nothing we can do.
[sighs]
Then,
what do we do now?
What happens to the team?
[Yong-gil] We have to find a new sponsor.
It won't be easy, though.
We're not going down like this.
No, I mean
what happens if we don't find one?
What do you think, you punk?
The club goes bankrupt, and the team disbands.
[sighs]
Forget about paying the players.
We can't even pay the rent for the training ground.
What can we do?
[clicks tongue]
Don't tell the other guys, okay?
I shouldn't have even told you.
I just had to get it off my chest.
[soju pouring]
- [sighs] - [music concludes]
[Yong-gil gulping]
I've been thinking.
I don't think you're a good fit for our store.
I'll pay you for your work today,
but you don't need to come in anymore.
Really? That's fine.
The pay was too low for the workload anyway.
I'm sorry to bother you,
but the totals aren't adding up.
What?
Ms. Kim's cash drawer is off.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music builds]
[music concludes]
- [keyboard key clacks] - [echoing chime]
- [mutters] Oh… - [quirky music playing]
What did I just do?
You gave the customer back her 100,000-won check and the change.
That explains why we're exactly 100,000 won short.
So, what happens to me?
It's okay.
Mistakes happen. Don't worry about it.
Really?
- [sighs] - [supervisor] Of course.
Just pay it back. No big deal.
What?
Your hourly pay is 10,030 won,
and you worked for five hours, so that's 50,150 won for today.
But with the 100,000 won loss…
[cash register ringing]
…you just owe us 49,850 won.
Owe you?
You mean you're not even paying me,
but I have to pay you 49,850 won?
I worked like a dog all day for this place!
[sighs] That's too bad.
[scoffs]
[laughs]
I walked here just to save bus fare!
Can't you let this slide?
I can't do that. I'm just an employee here.
[sighs]
- [sighs] - [echoing baby crying]
[music concludes]
I bragged about bringing home money.
What do I tell Si-yeol?
I can't say I worked all day just to end up in debt.

I mean, you went to training, and you're back looking so dejected again.
Well, that's…
[breathes deeply]
It's nothing. The team's just having some issues.
Si-yeol, want me to cheer you up?
- All of a sudden? - [perky music playing]
Here. I made some money.
Wow, it's pretty thick.
- How much is this? - It's 200,000 won. I did good, right?
Wait, what did you do to get 200,000 won in a day?
[echoing chime]
[inhales sharply] You didn't steal this, did you?
[scoffs]
I'm on a mission to do good deeds right now.
How can you say that to someone who's trying to live right?
I know. You're right.
But where did you earn this much in a--
I've got skills. I've been around the block, you know.
The details are a trade secret.
You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go out. It's my treat.

We came to watch it together.
- [door opens] - Hello, Eun-ho.
[door lock beeps]
[upbeat music playing]
[sizzling]
[Beom] Ooh!
Hey!
Whoa!
[group exclaiming]
Eun-ho, you haven't tried my family's galbi, right?
Jeong-bae's folks bought a building selling this galbi.
It's good.
Really? I haven't had beef galbi in a while.
Why couldn't you guys just watch the game at home?
[Gyeong-hun] Come on, don't be like that.
We always watch the international games here together.
Aren't you glad we're here, Eun-ho?
Of course. Beef galbi is always welcome.
[group] Let's eat.
How can you call yourself an athlete when you're drinking this late?
Again with the nagging.
You don't have to drink.
Today's a good day, so how about just one, okay?
[Chi-su] Would you like a glass, Eun-ho?
[Eun-ho] Sure, pour me one.
[wearily] Okay, fine.
What's the point of nagging you guys anyway?
Just don't overdo it.
[Jeong-bae] Okay!
Nice seeing you again, Eun-ho.
- [Gyeong-hun] Nice to see you! - [group] Cheers!
- [exhales] - [music concludes]
[exhales]
[eerie musical sting plays]
[ominous music playing]
You know, it's really weird.
[Chi-su] What is?
Actually, since yesterday…
Man, it's getting chilly. I might catch a cold.
[light slams on]
[ominous music continues]
They must've fixed the streetlight.
It had been left broken for months.
[eerie musical sting plays]
[Beom] What the…
Who is it?
- [echoing whoosh] - [eerie musical sting plays]
[Chi-su] You were stalked?
Who'd stalk you?
[Beom] I know how crazy it sounds--
Beom, were you up all night gaming again?
It's because you're tired, that's all.
See? You've got dark circles under your eyes.
That's…
just because I'm stressed out.
Why are you stressed?
Bet his stocks tanked again.
How's that my fault? The domestic market is a total mess.
I thought Si-yeol was the only one broke, but you're penniless too, aren't you?
Come on, I'm different from Si-yeol.
He's all about soccer without a plan,
and I ended up like this trying to prepare for the future.
- [dramatic musical sting plays] - [screams]
- [group whimpers] - What is it?
- [music fades] - [Beom exhales]
[Jeong-bae] What was that just now?
Something flashed. Was it lightning?
[Chi-su] But the sky is clear.
[fork clatters]
[sighs]
- Si-yeol. - [haunting musical sting plays]
Come out for a second.
[screeching string notes play]
What's the matter all of a sudden?
Come out. How long are you going to hide?
- What? - [haunting musical sting plays]
[giggles]
Hello, sis.
Ah…
- It's me, Secretary Choi. - [Yoon] Come in.
[tense music playing]
Hey.
Congratulations on returning home, sir.
[snickers]
Honestly, I've always hated this place because my old man was here.
It was more fun out there.
But you know, after wandering around,
there really is no place like home.
After ten years, it was even nice to see my father.
Are you back for good now, sir?
[sucks teeth]
Of course. No need for me to run anymore.
Anyway, what's that damn shaman up to?
[Secretary Choi] He's searching every antique shop and bookstore in the country.
Seems like he's looking for something.
[Yoon scoffs]
He told me to wait and do nothing, but what the hell is he doing?
I need him to catch that other fox
so I can get on with my business, damn it. [clicks tongue]
Also, the fourth-division soccer matter is proceeding as you've requested.
Oh, really?
How are you proceeding with it?
I found corruption and nepotism at the sponsoring nursing home
tied to its founding family.
I told them to choose between the whole family going to jail
or ending the sponsorship.
They should've announced the termination of the sponsorship by now.
Good job.
[snickers]
- [music concludes] - How did you know I was here?
That light earlier. You gained spiritual power, didn't you?
- Really? - [Eun-ho] Yeah.
Yes, I did. I got a huge amount of spiritual power.
A few more times like this, and I'll have nine tails in no time.
That old man, Chairman Kim, worked fast.
Anyway, why were you hiding there?
You could've just said you were here.
Pardon?
Was it because of the guys inside?
Since when did she have that kind of tact?
How long have you been there?
Well, since the beginning?
[quirky music playing]
You're acting suspicious.
Hold on.
- [music turns whimsical] - You weren't here for us, were you?
Don't tell me you're the one stalking that stock junkie?
[wobbly whoosh]
[echoing plop]
[fox squealing softly]
[fox howling]
[music falls]
- Yes. - [music rises]
What?
[music concludes]
Man, we're out of sauce.
Our beef galbi is already seasoned.
It tastes better just as it is.
No, I like the sauce. I'll go buy some.
- [Eun-ho yelling] Are you crazy? - [gags]
[ominous musical sting plays]
- [quirky music playing] - I should just eat it as is, right?
I was wondering if we did something wrong,
but I guess it was Si-yeol who messed up.
It's not good to get involved in a couple's fight.
Maybe we should've left earlier.
Well, it's not too late.
You want to go past them while they're going at each other?
I don't think that's a good idea.
- We're totally trapped here. - [Beom] Yeah.
[sighs]
Just turn on the TV. The match is about to start anyway.
- [Chi-su] Okay. - Shall we?
[Beom] Yeah.
Wait.
Where did that go?
- [echoing plop] - [echoing tinkle]
- [echoing chime] - "That"?
You stupid eight-tailed fox. Didn't I warn you about humans?
Especially men, of all people?
You didn't!
- I didn't? - [Si-yeol] No.
I don't think you said that.
Do I have to spell it out for you?
How would I know if you didn't say it?
Just wait a second!
Please!
[panting]
Just calm down.
Why should I?
Come on, what is it? Let's calmly talk about it.
How does blowing up like that help anything?
You look exactly like her, and you even act just like her.
[wobbly squeak]
- [music concludes] - Listen to me carefully.
I won't stop you from becoming human.
But men?
Do you know how many women ruin their lives over men?
- Especially naive girls like you. - Hey.
Girls like you need to be extra careful around men.
Then what about you?
[quirky music playing]
What?
- I saw everything. - [fox yipping]
["Geum-ho"] You held hands,
and last night at Namsan…
- [fox growling] - That's… different.
How so?
I'm going back to how I was, and this guy…
- [echoing plop] - [echoing squeak]
…is decent and great at soccer,
- despite how he looks now. - [baby chuckles]
But look at you.
You barely know that guy, so why are you stalking him?
What do you even see in him?
- His face. - [echoing twang]
- [wobbly squeak] - Come again?
- [giggles] - [fox squealing softly]
He's good-looking.
- [Eun-ho gasps] - [chuckles]
See? This is exactly why I'm worried.
Do you think his looks are going to pay the bills?
[twinkling rattle]
Why are you so against this?
Let her like him. She'll learn from it.
You said he's broke, and she's clueless!
He should at least have something if he's going to take care of that idiot.
Of all the men out there…
Isn't there anyone else?
Sorry to interrupt.
Right. What about him?
At least he isn't broke.
What?
- [echoing squeak] - [Si-yeol] Jeong-bae, what's up?
Well, it's just that we think you've been robbed.
[music concludes]
Robbed?
[wobbly whoosh]
[quirky music playing]
[echoing plops]
[sighs]
[wobbly boing]
[Beom] Weird.
Do thieves these days
steal the AC off the wall?
Jeez, that was the only thing in this house worth any money.
How did they know to take that?
Si-yeol, is there anything else you're missing?
I don't know. Eun-ho.
- [echoing snap] - [gasps]
Are you missing anything?
Just out of curiosity…
[echoing rattle]
…did that thing double as a heater?
No, not really.
Right? [sighs] That's a relief.
What's with that reaction?
[wobbly chime]
[echoing squeak]
So, about the AC,
- I sold it. - [Si-yeol] What?
We won't be here in the summer anyway.
It's winter and it's freezing.
So it's not like we'll need AC, right?
- That's true. - [twinkling rattle]
Good job. We're broke anyway.
- So that's where the cash came from? - Yeah.
Oh, I see.
[laughs]
I guess you sold it.
Well, as long as you weren't robbed.
- [Chi-su] Yeah. - [Gyeong-hun] Right.
How much did you get for it, Eun-ho?
- What? - She gave me 200,000 won.
- What? - What?
You sold it for 200,000 won?
Why? Was it worth more?
That was the latest model he bought this summer.
It's worth at least 400,000 won.
[mutters] At least 400,000?
Wait. What about the outdoor unit?
Did you sell that too?
Yeah, because you don't need it without the AC.
They said they'd get rid of it for me,
even though you usually have to pay for that.
The outdoor unit alone must be worth over 50,000 won.
- Maybe even 100,000 won. - [echoing gulp]
Did you say 100,000 won? People sell those too?
Did I just get scammed?
- [sighs] - [music concludes]
[wobbly musical sting plays]
- [sniffling] - [wobbly trumpet notes play]
[tense music playing]
[Woo-seok exhales deeply]
[breathes heavily]
[groans softly]
[breathes heavily]
Hey, are you okay?
What?
Why are you so tense?
It's not your first time on the national team.
[sighs]
Right. Maybe it's because I've always dreamed of this.
[exhales]
But my heartbeat feels strange.
[breathes shakily]
[exhales deeply]
[Sin-yu] What are you talking about?
Don't be nervous. We got this.
[music fades]
[Si-yeol] Jeez.
Why is everyone drinking booze like water in front of me today?
[sighs]
If you're going to drink, at least eat something with it. Okay?
Here.
[chuckles]
Why are you so upset? These things happen.
Si-yeol.
Living as a human is just too hard.
[Si-yeol] What?
[muffled sob]
- [wailing] - Are you crying? You should stop drinking.
I was just trying to do things right.
- [soft quirky music playing] - That's why I took the job at the store.
But they worked me all day, called me useless, and didn't pay me.
[sobbing] Then they told me to pay back 49,850 won.
What? Which store was that?
Are they insane?
So I tried to fix it by selling used stuff online,
but I got scammed doing that too.
I really can't live like this anymore.
Come on, Eun-ho.
- [wailing] - Eun-ho, it's okay.
[sobs]
It's okay.
You don't have to be here with me. Go inside and watch the game.
The international match starts soon, doesn't it? [sniffles]
[sighs]
What's the point of me watching that?
[clicks tongue] I know Woo-seok is playing instead of me,
but I don't exactly want to watch it myself. [chuckles softly]
[sobs] It's hard for you too, right? I'm sorry.
Eun-ho, I didn't say that to make you cry.
Don't worry.
I promise I'll get you back to your old life, okay?
I really promise.
[chuckles softly]
- What? - [clicks tongue]
We're doing just fine.
Let's not worry too much.
[music concludes]
[sniffles]
[soft dreamy music playing]
- [record scratches] - Si-yeol!
Something big happened!
What happened?
Hey, Si-yeol!
Hyeon Woo-seok collapsed!
What?
[fans cheering]
[exhales heavily]
[Beom] He collapsed right before the match.
- [panting] - [echoing high-pitched buzz]
- [echoing whoosh] - [high-pitched ringing]
- [echoing thumps] - [gasps rapidly]
[gasps, breathes weakly]
- [echoing thud] - [tense dramatic music playing]
- Woo-seok! - Hey, Woo-seok!
- [teammate 1] Woo-seok! - [teammate 2] Coach!
[Beom] Apparently, it was cardiac arrest.
They say he might die.
[music intensifies]
What did you say?
- [sirens blaring] - [coach] Woo-seok!
- Hey, wake up. Come on! - [music crescendoes]
- [music falls] - [coach] Damn it!
[intense music resumes]
[Si-yeol] Over here!
[gasps]
Eun-ho, what's happening right now?
- Why is Woo-seok… - I don't know.
I just switched your fates. That's all.
I'm not sure what's happening.
- Wait. - [music concludes]
Then, what just happened to Woo-seok…
[somber music playing]
…was the fate that was meant for me?
Am I the reason he ended up like this?
- [music concludes] - Woo-seok might die instead of me?
[breathes shakily]
If that's true, what happens now?
[moody pop song playing]
If you go back to normal, can we reverse all this?
I can't reverse it.
What?
- [defibrillator screeches] - [doctor] Charging 150 joules.
- One, two, clear! - [echoing thud]
Charging 200 joules. One, two, clear!
[echoing thud]
[Eun-ho] I can't reverse it.
If your friend dies in your place,
there's nothing I can do, even if I'm back to normal.
There's no way for me to reverse your fate
or to bring your friend back.
[moody pop song continues]
[exhales shakily]
SPECIAL APPEARANCE BY HONG SU-HYEON
[moody pop song continues]
[fox squealing]
NO TAIL TO TELL
[Pagun] Did you think tampering with human fate was a trivial matter?
Let's switch back now.
It's not possible right now.
[Woo-seok] Why isn't it possible now?
You know it too, don't you? That you're going to die soon.
[old man] I wouldn't sell this for all the gold in the world.
- Who are you? - [Do-cheol] I didn't expect to find
another one hiding in a place like this.
Fix this twisted fate with your own two hands.
You want me to just die instead of Si-yeol?
So I need you to help me.
[moody pop song continues]
