No Tail to Tell (오늘부터 인간입니다만)

NO TAIL TO TELL

Sis, I found a way!

It's going to take some time,

but I found a way for you to turn back

into a nine-tailed fox.

Okay, let's talk about it later.

That means he can go back to his life too, right?

Wait a second.

What are you guys talking about?

Woo-seok, the thing is...

Turning back into a nine-tailed fox?

Then that means…

You weren't actually doing this for me. You just couldn't go back?

Well…

- Let me explain... - That's right.

It's exactly as you heard.

So what? What's it to you?

- Hey! - Nothing's going to change anyway.

Me, Si-yeol, and you.

We're all going back to the way things were.

It'll just take a little more time.

Really?

How much longer?

So you're saying you're human now, just like the rest of us?

And you're looking for a way back, right?

So you found a way? How?

Now that useless human's involved, this all just got a lot more complicated.

So there's a chance we can't switch back if that method doesn't work?

Well, that is a possibility.

Why the hell do you care?

This matters to me as well.

Why? Are you afraid I might get in the way?

You tell me.

I think you're fully capable of that.

So tell me. Are you going to get in the way?

Stop it, both of you.

Why are you acting like this?

You heard what he said, didn't you?

Don't tell me you're still clinging to the idea of human friendships.

- You're just being too harsh. - Si-yeol.

I need to know what's going on. Otherwise I can't relax.

And there might be something I can do to help.

You shouldn't just hide everything from me like this.

I understand what you're saying.

Still, it would be best if you left for now.

- Later, if I need... - Erase it.

Pardon?

Erase that human's memory.

But my spiritual power isn't that strong...

I know. Just do it.

Okay.

No, wait...

What the…

I was just waiting for Si-yeol.

Why am I here?

DAD

Hi, Dad.

Why are you just picking up now?

I can't really remember right now...

Have you been drinking at a time like this?

No, it's not that...

Do you know what kind of mess you caused?

You went to Korea without the club's permission.

Are you out of your mind?

It's the preseason right now.

I've got the international call-up next week anyway.

I just came to Korea a few days early.

What's the big deal?

You've still got training, even in preseason!

You just transferred,

and you've already upset the coach and the club owner.

You're being unprofessional!

Do you think I'm doing this for myself?

What?

Forget it. I'm hanging up.

Let's keep it like this…

For now.

Thank you, Si-yeol.

Wait, what was that memory just now?

Did I actually meet Si-yeol?

By the way,

where is the house?

It's right here.

Isn't this a public restroom?

There are lots of these in the mountains.

This isn't a restroom. It's what we call a rooftop apartment.

It might not look like it, but people actually live here.

It's a home.

Was it really necessary to go that far?

What?

I don't think we had to go so far as to erase Woo-seok's memory.

We could've just explained it and sent him on his way.

You still don't seem to grasp the situation.

If you'd talked to him nicely and sent him on his way,

do you think you'd ever sleep soundly again?

What do you mean?

Well, let me give you an example.

If you just dropped dead tonight,

who do you think would benefit?

What?

No more worrying about when he'd have to switch back

or about ending up back in this shabby rooftop place.

Everything he has now would be his forever.

How long do you think it'll take him to realize that?

A day or two?

Jeez, why is your example so morbid?

What, are you saying Woo-seok will try to kill me or something?

Come on, that's nonsense.

Don't you remember?

What did your friend do when I gave him the chance

to switch your lives back?

I mean, that was then.

This is a different situation.

Besides, Woo-seok's not that kind of guy.

Get real. Humans are all the same.

You think there's a special "kind" that's any different?

Anyway, erasing his memory is just a temporary fix.

An eight-tailed fox doesn't have the power to fully wipe a human's memory.

Whether it takes a few days or a few months,

your friend's memory will eventually come back, bit by bit.

Oh, really?

So we need to get back to how things were

before your friend remembers and gets any funny ideas.

Now that the nuisance is taken care of,

why don't you finish what you were saying?

You found a way?

Right, yes.

All we need is

for you and me to switch fates.

Like you did with him.

What?

What's with her?

EPISODE 6 THE FALSE KINDNESS

Come in.

PERSONAL PROFILE KANG SI-YEOL

So who is this guy?

Nobody special.

He went through rehab for about a year after the accident,

and his soccer career went downhill after that.

He was recently cut from a fourth division team too.

So what does he do now?

He doesn't seem to have a job.

So, does he come from a rich family?

Not at all.

He has no parents and no inheritance either.

That can't be right.

He's a client of that money-grubbing fox, and you're telling me he's broke?

That makes no sense.

Anything else peculiar?

There's something I found out during the investigation.

You know the boy who was a witness to that incident?

Apparently, he's Hyeon Woo-seok.

Hyeon Woo-seok?

While you were away,

this athlete named Hyeon Woo-seok became a huge star...

I watched the World Cup in prison too.

I know who he is.

Oh, okay.

Hyeon Woo-seok.

Kang Si-yeol is completely broke,

but Hyeon Woo-seok is his friend?

I think I should meet this Hyeon Woo-seok.

I feel a bit better now.

Usually, I last half a day in human form,

but erasing his memory must have drained me.

If you've got your strength back,

could you finish what you were saying earlier?

Earlier? I meant exactly what I said.

I mean, is switching fates actually possible for you?

You tried switching Woo-seok and me back last night,

but it didn't work.

That's because I lack power right now, but what if I become a nine-tailed fox?

What?

Then I'll have powers too,

so we can just switch our fates.

You can become a nine-tailed fox instead of me,

and I can become human faster.

It's good for both of us.

Then what about me?

I don't think there's anything I can do about that.

But she can probably help you later.

Wait, why?

You could just switch me back first after you become a nine-tailed fox.

It's urgent for me too.

It doesn't work that way

because I'm the one who cast that spell.

- But... - I'm younger than her,

and my spiritual power is much weaker.

So even if I become a nine-tailed fox, it'd be hard for me to undo her spell.

Well, okay then.

It doesn't matter how we get there as long as I get my life back.

Well, the logic holds up.

So problem solved, right?

Nothing's solved.

I was wondering what you were talking about.

That doesn't sound like your idea, though.

Who told you that crap?

Pardon?

Well…

I was told not to say anything because it's a secret.
