No Tail to Tell (오늘부터 인간입니다만)

NO TAIL TO TELL

WOOSONG HOSPITAL

EMERGENCY ROOM

Are you okay?

Are you all right?

Hey, Eun-ho.

What… Eun-ho!

Where did she go?

Clear the way!

- What… - Are you family?

Well, my friend is in there.

- Hyeon Woo-seok is in there, right? - You can't just barge in.

I told you, I'm his friend.

I just need to check on him. It'll only take a few minutes.

- Hey, you can't! - Please!

Aren't you Si-yeol?

Mr. Hyeon.

How's Woo-seok?

Is Woo-seok okay?

What is happening?

Why did Woo-seok suddenly collapse?

Is he really going to die? Then what about Si-yeol?

Say something! I'm sure you showed up because you have something to say.

Did you think tampering with human fate was a trivial matter?

What?

Charging 150 joules.

Clear!

Charging 200 joules. Two, clear!

Sinus rhythm is back.

- Start a saline drip, wide open. - On it.

He's not dead. Not yet.

Not yet? What does that mean?

He will eventually die.

Just not today.

That's the fate

you gave him.

Does that mean Si-yeol's fate was…

To rise high, but burn out quickly.

That was the fate Kang Si-yeol was born with.

On the other hand, a long but difficult life

was the fate Hyeon Woo-seok was born with.

Then what am I supposed to do?

I don't like either option.

I don't want to make Si-yeol watch his friend die in his place

or return to his original life and die.

There must be another way.

Change fate, twist it, whatever.

If they were given such a crappy fate, there must be a loophole or something!

You still haven't learned a thing.

You recklessly tampered with human fate,

caused an innocent man to die again,

and now you seek cheap tricks to deceive Heaven?

That's right. I'll find a way.

That's how I've survived until now,

and I have no intention of ever accepting such a crappy fate.

The only thing I can give you now…

Is this.

When this season ends,

Kang Si-yeol's true fate is to die before he sees another winter.

So, before Hyeon Woo-seok dies in his place,

fix this twisted fate with your own two hands.

What on earth am I supposed to fix with this?

You already know

what that dagger is

and what you should do.

Stab him with this. You have to.

Commit an unforgivable sin,

and turn all your cultivated virtue to nothing.

If you stab your beloved with that dagger,

the twisted fate will return to its place,

and you can return to being a nine-tailed fox again.

However,

if you leave this twisted fate as it is

and a man who shouldn't die ends up dying instead…

I will personally

end your fate with that dagger.

Then, no matter what you do,

you will never return to being a nine-tailed fox.

You'll live out your life

as a human forever, like you are now.

EPISODE 10 FROM CHANCE TO DESTINY

His heart rate is back to normal,

and thankfully, he woke right up.

We were lucky he got immediate emergency care.

They said it could've been worse.

That's such a relief.

You must have been quite shocked too.

Yes.

It was all so sudden.

Si-yeol.

Thanks for rushing over, even at this hour.

I appreciate it.

I wish you could see Woo-seok,

but they're running further tests on him right now.

Is there another problem?

It's nothing like that. Just standard procedure.

Judging by his condition, I don't expect any lasting damage.

Don't worry too much.

Okay.

Anyway, I should get going.

I'll let Woo-seok know you stopped by.

- See you around. - Okay.

It's a relief that he's still alive.

Yeah.

I'd feel much better if I could've seen his face.

He should be okay, right?

By the way,

what kind of person is this Woo-seok anyway?

What?

I'm just curious.

Surely he's someone special

if you'd go as far as to give up your wish for him?

Even now, you're worrying about him first instead of how close you came

to never getting your old life back.

You make it sound like it's some huge deal.

We're just friends.

And friends make sacrifices for each other.

I get a little upset sometimes, but I still worry about him.

Come on, what kind of answer is that?

If he's that special to you,

I thought you'd tell me about some hidden talent

or that he's actually a pretty decent guy.

Is that really all there is to him?

Woo-seok is

kind of a coward.

He's great at giving but awful at receiving,

and he's a little pathetic too.

He only wants me to see his good side,

so he hides whenever things don't go his way.

He's got an inferiority complex.

What?

Then why…

But I still like him, regardless of all that.

I bet Woo-seok feels the same way.

I'm selfish, self-centered,

and totally full of myself.

Woo-seok knows all that about me.

But that's how childhood friends are.

Even though we're pathetic and cowardly,

none of that matters.

I don't really get it.

Shouldn't you dislike each other if you're all that pathetic and cowardly?

- I think you already know. - What?

You like me, don't you?

It's not because I'm the best or somehow special

out of everyone you've ever met in your long life.

I became special to you because you like me.

I think that's what it means to like someone.

What if…

I couldn't go back to my true form because of you

and had to live as a human forever?

Would I still be able to like you then?

What?

If your friend had really died today,

and you'd lost your chance to get your fate back forever,

would you still not resent me?

Would you still like me?

Eun-ho, are you okay?

Did something happen earlier?

Nothing happened.

The thought just came to me.

Are you telling me to choose?

Kill Si-yeol, or give up who I am?

It may seem cruel,

but fate simply takes its course.

It does not concern itself with individual human affairs.

Then why are you telling me to choose?

If the will of Heaven is already set,

you guys should decide whether to kill him or save him.

I almost fell for your tricks again.

I keep forgetting

that you guys act like you know everything,

but the truth is, you don't know anything.

You were just trying to trick me

into fixing these twisted human affairs for you.

But I found another way.

So I'm not making that damn choice.

Once I get my powers back,

saving Si-yeol will be a piece of cake.

I'll just stay by his side and protect him forever.

I'm suddenly so tired.

Okay.

You must be tired after rushing out with me like that.

Get some rest. I'll wake you when we're there.

Si-yeol.

What I said earlier

wasn't just the alcohol talking.

What?

I told you I'd get your life back, no matter what.

That's a promise.

So don't worry about it.

Get some sleep. We can worry about that tomorrow.

Si-yeol, wake up! Come on!

What…

What's got into you so early?

We saw yesterday that we're gaining spiritual power,

and now that we know how, we need to hurry.

Right. We have to do good deeds.

Do you have a plan or something?

Technically, it's not doing good deeds.
