Sweet Home (스위트홈)

ORIGINAL STORY WEBTOON SWEET HOME BY CARNBY KIM AND YOUNGCHAN HWANG

SWEET HOME

Today was the day I had planned on killing myself.

But today, I'm leaving this place

so I can survive.

Monster humans are creatures who have been denied

the beautiful relief of death.

I'm sure you'll do well, unlike the others.

I get the feeling we're about to witness the birth of a very special MH, you see.

Can you use me to develop a vaccine or a cure?

You might end up dead though. Are you okay with that?

Nothing matters anymore at this point.

Just accept what you are,

nothing but a monster.

Yeah.

I'm a monster.

- -

Even when you bring out your very best, you're still just a failure.

You can't save anyone, even yourself.

There was nothing more I could do.

I wanted... to become a better person.

Are you just gonna die a miserable death?

Is that what you really want?

That's all lies.

Like I told you,

I can help you out.

I can do it all. I can give you...

everything you've ever wanted.

All right, dinner is served.

Oh, yum, yum, yum, yum. It looks delicious, doesn't it?

- How does it smell? -

Try the broth first.

Hyun-su, you go ahead. Try it. Hmm?

- - Here, this one's for Hyun-su.

I know that none of this is real.

But why does that even matter when you can finally be happy?

You'll live in a kind of dream world

while I hold down the fort in this hellish reality.

No.

You can be so stubborn.

I missed you!

"You were a mistake. You're a monster."

I gave birth to you, why would you be a monster?

Did you use those hands to turn them into monsters?

Yi-kyung!

Yi-kyung is very sick. She could die any moment.

Mom's not gonna die, so stop crying, please.

How could she turn so suddenly? She wasn't showing any symptoms.

Her daughter did this to her.

Monsterization is uncontrollable by humans.

- -

You don't lose your humanity when you become a monster.

They're still a human deep within.

I can see it all.

I can understand what people who turn into monsters are after.

But Yi-kyung is also miserable on that side.

I have to stop her.

It has to be me.

You don't have to do anything.

Why am I still alive?

I'd be better off just becoming a monster.

Cha Hyun-su.

Are you going to hit me with that?

Bring him back.

Bring Cha Hyun-su back now.

He's hurt, you know.

Let him rest a bit.

I only came to help him because the pain was killing him.

So don't be like that.

This is all your people's fault, you know.

I thought Hyun-su is in control?

I'm also Cha Hyun-su.

You're a monster. I mean the real Hyun-su.

We agreed to help each other out.

I can't exactly have Cha Hyun-su dying on me, you know?

Why don't you leave him be and get lost?

You mean it?

Sure that's what you want?

Are you sure you'd be okay with just...

a weak Cha Hyun-su?

Yes.

What are you doing?

Don't know.

What should we do?

What do you want?

God, I can't deal with this crazy asshole.

It's unreal, seriously.

Cha Hyun-su.

I knew you would come back.

That is, if you hadn't been slain somewhere.

For you too, this place meant everything.

I don't think we've met before.

Oh, you know how it is.

Being a famous figure,

I simply can't recognize everyone who recognizes me.

Were you a researcher?

I'm not all that interested in people, so I don't like them, you see.

You showed a lot of interest in me despite what you say.

Yeah.

So...

who exactly are you?

Your very first...

...test subject.

- -

I really wanted to show you this.

What is it you called me?

MH-1, right?

Remember now?

I'm your dear friend, Nam Sang-won.

I'm glad we meet again.

I was worried, you know...

that you might be dead.

You're saying you're Nam Sang-won?

You're putting a lot of effort into this bullshit.

Se-yeon.

This is your work.

SANG-WON

Sang-won...

- -

Ah...

Oh no, Sang-won.

Seo Yi-kyung is dead.

Nam Sang-won's greatest desire.

He wanted to escape those damned experiments,

- and this is the result. -

I was freed by the pain you inflicted on me.

And you succeeded in extracting the monster.

Congrats.

So is this the part where I die?

Why would you?

I'm actually thankful for you.

I was born from monsterization.

But I wasn't complete...

until I met you.

But why?

Why are you still here, in this place,

after what you've been through?

Follow me.

Been a while, huh?

Say hello, you two.

MH-3?

My name is Hwang Chi-seong.

Like I said, MH-3.

That's what I know you as, huh?

Names don't really matter, do they, Number Three?

Call me that if you want.

After all, it'll only make things that much easier.

In just a moment,

I'm gonna do some particularly horrible things

- to these friends of yours. -

- -

Do you remember the old days?

Those experiments you liked to do?

Well, I'd like to do one of my own.

Yong... Yong-seok...

Yong-seok!

Sergeant Kim?

Yong-seok!

Sergeant Kim!

Choose.

You can take one of the three with you.

We keep our promises around here.

What's your objective then?

We're trying to find others like us.

We want to stimulate their desires.

This is the first step in creating a monster.
