Doom at Your Service (어느 날 우리 집 현관으로 멸망이 들어왔다)

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION. ALL CHARACTERS, LOCALES, INSTITUTIONS,

RELIGIONS, AND EVENTS ARE USED IN AN ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS MANNER.

It's glioblastoma.

And it appears to be multicentric.

Your symptoms of dizziness and nausea

were all due to this.

We'll need to do a biopsy for more details,

but it doesn't look good.

I see.

Yes.

So do you do biopsies…

on the weekends, too?

Not on the weekends, sorry.

How long will it take?

At least a week, I'd say.

That won't do.

What do you mean?

Then I can't do it.

You mean, the biopsy?

Yes.

I've already taken some days off work, so I can't ask for another week.

But that's not what's important, is it?

I'm not sure.

Anyway, I can't take a week off.

Then let's not do a biopsy.

With surgery, you have one year.

Without it, about three to four months.

But even that one year won't be easy.

You may end up with hemiplegia or speech and cognitive impairment.

In fact, even doing a biopsy could be risky.

Risky?

Yes.

Will I die?

Yes.

I see.

All right.

DR. KING OF THE DEAD JUNG DANG-MYUN

NEUROLOGIST JUNG SEUNG-JOON

You'll find all the details of the event in there.

I'll also send a copy via email.

As I told you before,

we have a deadline that's fixed with our client,

so even if you're busy,

we need you to deliver 70 episodes to us by early next month, Mr. Jung.

All right.

I'm sure you're quite busy with your main job,

but there are not many days to go until the event.

So please hang in there.

All right, I'll call you.

-Sure. -You call me, too.

Sure.

Mr. Jung,

you can do it!

You were awesome today, like a real doctor.

And thanks for squeezing me in for an MRI.

Well, that's because…

I am a real doctor.

Then…

Ms. Tak?

Hang in there.

Yes, thanks!

We have an announcement…

Glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma…

Gosh, he's so…

I know I'm handsome, but I'm a little busy.

We have an emergency situation!

We have an emergency patient!

Hurry up. Hurry!

-Call 911 right now! -Hurry!

Five, four, three, two,

one.

Coming through!

-This way. -Move out of the way, please!

Move!

Let's hurry. Go!

Please move!

MIDDAY STABBING RAMPAGE IN GUSIN-DONG 5-WAY INTERSECTION

What's going on? There's a whole group.

Was there an accident?

This afternoon, around 2:30 p.m.,

a man went on a stabbing rampage in downtown Seoul,

injuring a total of seven who tried to stop him.

All those injured were immediately rushed to the hospital

-to be checked and treated. -Oh, my goodness.

That's terrible!

That's just crazy.

Are you ready to pay?

Yes.

OUTPATIENT MEDICAL BILL

686,200 WON

-This is crazy! -Pardon?

What? Oh, it's nothing.

Can I pay in installments?

How many months will it be?

With surgery, you have one year. Without it, about three to four months.

-Three months, please. -Sure.

Get bed number one ready!

Please wake up!

Please follow us!

-Hurry! -Move!

-He is an emergency patient! -This way.

Dr. Yoon! Hurry!

His abdominal wound is deep.

He's losing a lot of blood. Sir, can you hear me?

-His BP is dropping. -Not yet.

-Another patient! -This way.

Here he is.

All right. One, two, three!

This is the assailant.

He attempted suicide, and the police are on their way.

I'm sorry, but which department…

Draw the curtains around his bed,

and don't let anyone in except for the police.

Yes, doctor.

It's okay, just leave him.

What? But…

He won't die.

Sure.

Where do you think you're going?

Open your eyes.

I've been waiting. Why are you so late?

You think you've become something, don't you?

Well, it's me who's become something, and you're nothing.

A better analogy would be

that you parked your car in my designated spot.

So I feel like crap.

So move your car!

You probably didn't know,

but you don't have authority over doom. I do.

Since you abused my authority, I'm thinking I should do the same.

Let me take back the doom I bestowed upon you.

Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll give it back to you.

You'll probably be waiting desperately for that day.

Since you'll know what's more terrible than doom.

Life.

Police.

So beautiful.

Hey.

Hey, my foot.

Why didn't you get changed?

Why? I wore this to show you.

What kind of a god runs the world so recklessly?

Are you bored at the hospital?

Why don't you come down sick and tell me?

You're pretending to be pitiful again.

Like I told you, I'm only a gardener.

I sow seeds, water them, and wait for them to grow.

That's all I do.

So you're not responsible?

Some of them don’t even sprout,

and some need a little more time.

Some blossom, only to wither quickly,

and some serve as medicine while others as poison.

And some kill all those around them.

Is that my fault?

Then pluck them out and pick and choose.

Give more affection to those that deserve it.

The garden doesn't belong to the gardener.

Then what about me?

What am I in that garden of yours?

You're the butterfly for the flowers in my garden.

Until when?

Forever.

You're so cruel.

And I'm the birthday man today, you know.

Birthday? Man?

Were you ever

born as a man?

Go.

Go and become somebody's hope.

Today's the only day you're allowed to do that.

So even my birthday isn't for me?

It's for the humans.

Damn those flowers.

It's almost time for them to wilt.

Your bus will be arriving shortly.

GLIOBLASTOMA

INCOMING CALL BOYFRIEND

Hey.

Are you busy?

No, I'm out at the moment. For a meeting with a writer.

Really? Then can I see you now?

Now?

Yes, it's a little urgent, so right now.

Is something up?

Let's talk in person. Come to our usual place, okay?

Hello…

What was that?

She just poured water on her.

As you can see, because of my condition, that's all I could manage for now.

Could you

explain this?

You explain.

You're the one who had an affair with my husband,

so why should I, his wife, have to explain?

So that's what this is about.

I see.

I understood it right away.

I heard you two first met here.
