Kokdu: Season of Deity (꼭두의 계절)

So, what was his weakness that you found?

First, take a look at this.

Instead of ordering me around, let's negotiate!

Even the Creator comes to the negotiating table,

so why are you so unfair?

What are you doing, not leaving?

I mean, can't I be curious?

What's wrong with asking if you would contract a disease if you kissed,

- or what is released when kissing! - Be quiet! Hurry up and leave!

You said lips, for sure!

He seems unable to resist Han Gye Jeol.

Han Gye Jeol.

The weakness of this crazy bastard who can teleport

is Han Gye Jeol?

He listens to what she says?

Gosh, Joong Shik, Joong Shik!

I mean, everything about him already doesn't make sense whatsoever.

What do you think about playing along with it and try keeping Han Gye Jeol by your side

as insurance?

I'm sorry, but I have interest in coming to Seoul.

Didn't you hear that I want to hire you as a professor at the Pilseong Hospital?

As soon as you start working for us, no one in the South Korean medical industry could look down on you.

But you still don't want to?

Yes. I don't want to.

I have to take a quick call. Please wait just a moment.

- Yeah, what is it? - Chairman...

The bastard found our wiretap device.

Why don't you use this opportunity

to test if Han Gye Jeol really is his weakness?

Y-You... What are you!

Oh! Professor!

Are you crazy? Let go of him!

Chairman, are you okay?

Why are you here?

He said he wanted to make a proposal.

A proposal? What proposal?

- Did you receive threats from him? - Professor Do...

I heard your body and your mind weren't normal,

but I didn't know it would be this bad...

Dr. Han, you were also very inconsiderate.

You should have brought him to a big hospital

if he was in that state.

- Shut your mouth! - Stop it, Professor.

Let's go out. Let's leave.

You leave first. I have something to say to that guy.

Do it later! Do it later when you're a bit calmer.

Dr. Han.

I've received too much shock today,

so I don't want to see Professor Do for the time being.

Please tell him

not to come near me.

Does that bastard...

know something?

Are you crazy?

Do you think I can be by your side always to protect you?

I told you clearly that my time in this world is short.

I have to take care of things before I go for me to feel at ease!

Take care of things?

Is this it when you say take care of things, Kokdu?

Killing Kim Pil Soo and disappearing?

Then have you thought about what would happen to the people left behind?

Have you ever thought about how I would be filled with regret

for not doing anything

and letting you get to this point?

Kokdu, I know

your time is short here.

But just because your time is short doesn't mean you can live however you want.

Just like snow in the middle of summer,

like a mirage in the desert...

it could perhaps be more eternal and precious because it's so short.

Can't you spend your short time here

trying to become a better person?

Why should I do that for?

For me.

What?

For me,

please get counseling,

receive treatment, and put in the effort.

Then I will put in the effort for you.

Listen to me without misunderstanding me.

You are a mere human.

In what way can you put in effort for me?

Try not to run away from you...

Try to be honest with you...

Try to believe that this moment is everything

like a cicada who believes that the summer is everything

despite the summer being very short.

You...

You asked me what I think about you, right?

I'm sorry for my late reply.

I...

Kokdu, I...

Lov-

All things have their appropriate timing.

Even if we are separated one day, and everything disappears,

right now is...

time to love.

When she tells you that she loves you in this state,

only then will your cursed life end,

and eternal peace will come to you.

Until she finds peace,

I can't find my own peace.

You would become a cicada?

You,

do you even know what backstory the cicada has?

You said you don't like sad endings.

Then don't even dream of becoming a cicada.

Then don't wake me up so I can dream something else.

What the... When did you wake up?

Since you started tickling me here?

Gosh, I had such a hard time keeping still because it was so ticklish.

If you woke up, you should have made it clear!

How could I do that in this visual state...

Right...

You really don't like shampoo.

Gosh, this guy! Come on!

More importantly,

why am I here?

You are here because it's your house. Would you be here if it was my house?

What...

did we do last night?

We slept.

As I'd thought...

I am saying this

just in case you may be misunderstanding me,

but only you slept.

- Just me? - You started shouting about becoming a cicada

when you suddenly fainted, to the shock of everyone around.

Turns out you just fell asleep. I got scared for no reason.

So...

So...

I-I just fell asleep after shouting something?

Is that all?

That is all.

What else would be there?

Why are you not mentioning our kiss...

You probably won't remember it anyway...

- You snored. - What?

I heard it's possible for women going through menopause because of hormonal imbalances.

You see, the way your face is getting red...

You should go to the hospital.

You're the one who should go, Kokdu!

Where?

I'm telling you to leave!

Leave!

Stop ordering me around!

What?

Wait, wait!

Wait, wait!

It's possible to stay out all night due to work, no?

How could you tell someone who just came home to leave?

Who's he?

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

It's my brother.

My younger brother.

My brother-in-law?

I see.

Hey!

I'm changing right now.

- Go away! - We don't really care about stuff like that, do we?

We've pretty much seen everything, so why would you lock the door?

Gosh, just my bad luck...

There's someone else in there, right?

Is it a guy? I'm really good at picking up on things!

Open up when I tell you nicely.

- Why are you hiding me? - Hey!

Are you ashamed of me?

Just my luck...

- Hey, I'm going to pick the lock and come in! - Come on...

Wait, what? The bed?

One,

- Two, - Don't you dare open your mouth!

Three!

Hey.

Hey.

Are you drunk?

If you had some nice drinks, you should go to sleep without causing trouble!

Brother-in-law?

Brother-in-law, my foot. It's my laundry!

Brother-in-law!

- All right! - Gosh...

Did you shed?

What's so important about your laundry that you keep it safe in your bed?

What?

Wait...

Oh, I see.

Why? What?

Where?

- Where? - He got me to focus on the bed,

and fled through the window, I see.

He's a pro, a pro.

This isn't the first time for you guys, right?

Gosh, this guy!

How dare you act like a police detective with me?

Hurry up and get out! You're not leaving?

One, two, three! Get out!

When should I meet him?

What... Meet who?

The guy from earlier.

I told you it wasn't a guy!
