Tale of the Nine-Tailed

- Give me your body.
- Give me your body.

- Give me your body.
- Give me your body.

- Give me your body.
- Give me your body.

- Give me your body.
- Give me your body.

Please don't die.

Please don't die...

because of me.

I found you.

I also...

I also waited for you.

Chapter 5
I Also Waited for You

I'm sorry I caused you to get hurt,

but I couldn't take you to a hospital.

My mom was a doctor,
so I know how to give first aid.

Open up.

- Open up.
- Open?

It's candy.

My mom always gave me a strawberry candy...

when I went to get a shot.

I wasn't scared of hospitals after that.

It felt like the word "hospital"
smelled of strawberry candy.

Go on.

Right. When I was nine,

I was sent to a children's psychiatric ward.

After my parents went missing,

I testified that the culprit wasn't human.

I had to leave, but the doctor
in charge wouldn't let me.

I would've done the same.

So I kept spying on him.

Then I caught him abusing Propofol.

And?

I made a deal with him.

"Should I call for someone,"

"or may I go home now?"

I can't forget the day I came home...

in my uncle's car.

Mom.

Dad.

I came home after three months,

but I hated how my parents weren't there.

So I sat in front of the gates.

Those two fireflies...

seemed like my mom and dad.

I also...

I also waited for you.

Microeconomics
Introduction to Abstract Algebra

Mr. Lee!

Mr. Lee!

Goodness, you're a total wreck!

I was worried sick!

Be quiet.

Quiet? Why?

Why?

The animal clinic...

Doctor Gu Sin-ju?

- Ms. Nam?
- You two know each other?

No way.

If you two are here together, it means...

Goodness, Mr. Lee. You finally did it.

You waited 600 years like a big pushover.

- Finally...
- My neck.

I'm so touched, I keep saying nonsense.

I won't have any regrets now when I die.

- Are you crying?
- Why am I crying like a fool?

Excuse me.

Let me present myself formally.

I've been his loyal right-hand man
since his Baekdu-Mountain days,

his personal doctor, bodyguard,

and housekeeper.

Mr. Lee is a man who can't
even wash his own underpants,

but he gets to live like a
decent guy, all thanks to me.

Shut up.

Wow!

No wonder.

You seemed to know everything about animals.

You were a fox in disguise?

You don't have to stare like that.

There's no one to trust in this world.

- We've done so many interviews!
- He thinks he's a celebrity now.

He practices autographs and selfies.

All of that was fated to be.

Darn it.

I'll take this one.

The bezel for this is red gold,
so it's a bit expensive. $35,000.

Will you give me a discount?

- Sorry?
- I was joking. Wasn't it funny?

You've never told a joke.

How do you see me?

You're the paragon of all men,

from head to toe.

But why do I look like I'm in ruins?

I'm sick and tired of waking up every day.

No matter what I buy or eat,
nothing is fun or impressive.

I've lived for too long.

How much was that watch?

This is a cheap one.

Why do you wear that?

It's my late father's.

Then it must be dear to you.

Yes. It's the most precious
thing in the world to me.

Let me see it.

Isn't his handwriting cute?

He never learned to write, so I taught him.

Let me have this.

- Sorry?
- You can have mine instead.

You must be joking.

No. I want to see which one you'll choose.

Will it be your family?

Or...

- Shall we?
- Let's go.

Okay. All right.

It's chicken porridge.

I'll cool it down for you.

Hey, I'm not a kid. Go away.

You dressed his wounds very well.

Right. Does he need any other treatment?

He recovers much faster than regular people.

But he still needs a month's rest.

Please do look after him.

It'd be better if you stayed...

No way.

There's no better treatment than that.

- What?
- Mr. Lee here...

is quirky, awkward, and stingy,

but he's a man who could go
down in history as a romantic.

He owns $30 million in real-estate assets.

He has good looks, no illnesses,

and a disgustingly-long lifespan.

You can leave now. Go.

I'm leaving now. Bye.

Don't give him ice cream
until he finishes his porridge,

even if he throws a fit.

He gets thrilled if you throw in
three rubber ducks in his bath.

Hey, I told you to go!

I'm going!

What's that?

It's something that was most precious
to a young man until moments ago.

And it's gone from him now,

just like me.

Why? What?

Give me a bite.

What's on your mind?

Nothing much.

That life can become this
sweet over a pint of ice cream.

So...

what was your first love like?

And don't tell me she was like a lotus.

"A-eum," meaning "lofty sound."

- That was her name.
- Wow.

It doesn't sound like a common name.

With such a name, she
must've been from a rich family.

How did you meet her?

I'll never forget it.

I was treated like a dog.

Do you want to die?

That's strange.

My dog loves it when I pet him like this.

Goodness, this kid. Do you know who...?

A fox, right? I'm A-eum.

- Don't ever come back here.
- Why not?

- This is the domain of the deities.
- Why?

Are you stupid?

Why?

I heard the gumiho can control the heavens.

You must be really strong.

If you understand, get lost
before you get eaten by a tiger.

You.

Be my underling.

What?

I'll let you eat rice every day.

And I'll give you silk clothes.
You know, a good life. Okay?

- She's so cute.
- She was way too cute,

so I smacked her on the head and sent her away.

- And?
- She went back down crying,

then came after me with a bow.

What a feisty little girl.

So who won?

I let her win.

Back then, I was absolutely tolerant.

Of course, I'm still very tolerant.

If you fail to hit me this time,
I'll eat you alive.

Why can't you do something so easy?

I already told you the arrow rides the wind.

And I said that I rule over the winds.

- Do it again.
- You have zero talent for this.

Human, go home and learn to embroider,

fly a kite, or whatever.

Don't you dare tell me what to do.

I can only let you off for so long.

Listen to this kid. Who do
you think you are to let me off?

Throw it up.

It's not that I couldn't,

I didn't.

You might get hurt.

Why would you worry about me?

I...

like you.

Tiny human, you'll be smitten.

It's time you told me.

Why did I pick up archery?

And I don't want, "Because it's cool."

I'll kill my father.

What? Your father?

Why? Who's your father?

The king of this land.

Shoot.

As long as I'm here,
the wind will be on your side.

Your first love was a big shot.

I found out later that she was
the seventh daughter of the king.

Well, an abandoned princess.

But why did she want to kill her own father?

He was the king, but not the king.

People were tortured in the palace every day,

and the Korean peninsula
suffered from drought and ordeals.

Something wicked came into the
palace and pretended to be the king.

Something wicked?

People used to call it the "earth dragon."

"Earth dragon"?

A dragon in the dirt.

A serpent?

You're much better-looking
in person. What a handsome man.

Thank you.

No, I should thank you.

You paid me so much in advance, all in cash.

- Did you tell anyone...?
- I kept it a secret.

So whose family is this boy from,

to keep such a low profile?

Well, who cares about his family?

Kids are all little angels.

It's the last room on the second floor.

I see.

So what should I do first?

Nothing in particular.

Just make sure he eats well.

Okay, sure. All right, then.

Hey, little one.

Come out and eat, child.

Do you have bad hearing?

Hey, your face.

Your hand, too.

This isn't contagious, is it?

Well,

do you want to find out?

Why did you stop your story?

My flashback ends there, more or less.

How did she die?

Your obsession will bring disaster...

upon you and that girl who was reborn.

It doesn't concern you.

It does concern me. I know it does.

Sometimes,

knowing too much can hurt you.

Just...

continue to live without ever finding out.

I don't plan on living as some stranger's past.

Don't take it off.

I've had enough rest.

Let's go out somewhere.

Doesn't it look awful?

I like it. It suits you.

I hate it.

It feels like I'm going around
telling everyone I lived in a zoo.

Who said that?

That vet.

He didn't jump on me like other males,

but looked at me with pity and sorrow.

Then don't let him.

How?

He can't look if he doesn't have eyes.

Stop the car.

- Darn it.
- Let's up the ante to $10.

- All right.
- Let's do this.

Here I go.

- Did you see that?
- Okay!

I'm the ace.

- It isn't dead yet.
- Get behind the line.

- Get behind.
- I'm not stepping over it.

Having fun?

Who are you?

Have some manners when talking to an adult.

Having fun?

He calls himself an adult.

Who cares whether it's
for fun or a hobby? Let go...

Let go of...

How did such weaklings end up
as the fittest of this ecosystem?

Don't just stand there.

- Hi.
- Who's this hag?

Did you just insult me?

Just die. Die!

Hey, whoa. You're bleeding.

Darn you.

It stings, right?

It's too early to cry.

I'm unemployed, so all I have is time.

Yeongju Sky Funeral Hall

A morgue.

There's no better place for a walk.

It's not crowded and has plenty of coffins.

I can never let it go when something bothers me.

Come out.

Come on out!

- Hey, it's a fox.
- It's a fox.

Yes, right. I'm a fox.

You two sisters. Come here.

It's okay. Come closer.

That's it. Closer.

Yes, that's good.

First off, you both need to be smacked.

You ghosts can't play
naughty tricks on humans, okay?

Especially her.

You can ask them now.

What are your names?

- I'm Min-seo.
- I'm Yeon-seo.

Min-seo and Yeon-seo,
do you have anything to say to me?

You two died in this accident, right?

Tragedy for Neglected Sisters

Hey.

Did you see this?

Are these reporters trying
to add fuel to the fire?

Darn it!

Tragedy for Neglected Sisters

They fell from the veranda while
the father was away for three days

♫ Eeny, meeny, miney, moe ♫

♫ Which one should I choose? ♫

One, two.

I won't count.

Why are you doing this?

It's what I do "for fun or as a hobby."

Please let us go.

Okay, then. You choose.

I made these cards.
There are punishments and rewards.

It's a fifty-fifty chance.

What is it?

Just pick one.

Hey, you picked an interesting card.

Talent Donation

Talent donation.

Congratulations!

What talents do you have?

We're good at baseball.

- Yes.
- We're ballplayers.

I like baseball, too.

We'll volunteer our time if you let us go.

- Yes.
- Yes.

But this donation is a bit
different from what you imagine.

You'll never get to play baseball again.

Hence, it's talent donation.

Are you all righties?

Is this guy a lefty?

Whatever. Yu-ri, just crush both hands.

- Let's do it!
- I'm sorry.

- Let us go.
- We'll be good.

- We won't do that.
- Please!

- Please let us go!
- We won't do that again.

- Please.
- I'll do anything you say.

Who are you?

I'm an acquaintance of Min-seo and Yeon-seo.

I see. Hello.

I'm a truck driver,

so I'm barely home.

I know.

I also know their unemployed
uncle usually looked after them.

My brother had a job interview that day.

Don't you have cherries in that bag?

You must've been very close to my girls.

I paid a lot for these,

but they didn't want anything from me.

They never had any.

Sir, could you come out for a second?

Help me!

How would it feel to be burned alive?

This furnace is about 1800° F.

Man, that's hot. You're getting me hot, too.

Please stop. Why are you doing this to me?

You molested your nieces.

No. Who in the world said that?

- Get in there.
- No, wait! Wait!

Wait, one second. I did.

I did it. Please spare my life.

You molested them, right?

Yes, but it was a mistake.

I got completely wasted.

I wasn't trying to kill them.

They happened to run towards the veranda, and...

We're done now.

You're worse than a beast!

The police are coming.

I had no idea, and left them in his hands.

I was an idiot!

Mr. Choi.

Min-seo and Yeon-seo didn't eat those cherries,

not because they hated you.

It was too precious to eat.

Your gift was...

too dear to them.

Dad's so sorry.

The dog must like you.

You still wag your tail at humans,
even after what they did.

It's foolish and pathetic.

Poor thing.

Can we take it?

Oh, no.

Why did you come back?

I told you to run far away.

Does it hurt?

Oh, no.

There was only one thing I could do.

Ending its pain with my own hands.

No.

I can't do this.

I don't want to.

Yeon, help me.

Yeon!

Geomdoong, no.

Here.

I'm so excited!

Give it lots of love and keep it safe.

Okay, Yeon.

This is so exciting. Isn't it?

Good boy. That's it. Faster!

I shouldn't have loved it.

I shouldn't have named it,

or let it sleep in my arms.

The day Yeon left the forest,

I lost everything that was dear to me.

Let's take it with us. Please?

- No.
- Why not?

Dogs don't live long.

Come with me.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Hey, children.

Go play over there.

Run along, now.

Run along.

Who were they?

This was where children were buried in secret.

They have to resolve their grief to leave,

but it's too late.

So they died ages ago.

Long ago when kids were buried,
it wasn't even marked.

It was to prevent the parents from coming back.

That's sad.

It's a heartbreaking sort of tradition...

to help them move on from their dead children.

Whether back then or now,

all parents feel the same
when their kids die first.

You keep staring at me. Why?

Nothing.

You seem different from
the Yeon I knew all this time.

You're the one who helped those girls.

Thanks.

- For what?
- You know, for everything.

Darn it.

A meal or a drink.

You said people feed each
other when they're grateful.

I choose drinks over meals.

I thought you brought an umbrella.

I lost it.

- Are you stupid?
- Yes, I am.

I knew it.

You aren't that good at interviews.

Why is there a tree here?

Let's go.

You always take this umbrella with you.

I hate getting wet. It ruins my fur.

It's like how dogs hate taking baths.

- Yes, right... Hey!
- Right.

I caught you because of this umbrella.

- I let you catch me.
- No way.

Losing you is a piece of cake.

♫ Even if it pours like this,
I still eat fried chicken ♫

♫ Sin-ju loves chicken! ♫

- You're home.
- Whoa!

Why are you out and about during business hours?

I was bored to death.

What brings you here today?

Treat it.

So?

Its bones are crushed.

It's suffering from malnutrition
and a skin condition.

And the leash dug into its neck.

Where's my necklace?

I need to talk to the dog.

Come on.

Darn it.

What happened?

It must've hurt a lot.

She isn't the one who did this to you?

Okay.

It's not homeless.

I stole it. I figured it'd be
better off being homeless.

- Ms. Ki.
- What?

Great job.

I didn't like you as a necklace thief,

- but good job as a dog thief.
- Dog thief?

A guy like me couldn't bring myself to do it.

I can't cross the line.

Well, I don't have any such lines.

If it's okay, please wait there.

It's all right. You'll be fine.

I can't believe you've never seen Toy Story 3.

"If Andy wants me, I'll be
there for him, no matter where."

"So long, partner." You don't know this quote?

Isn't that film for kids?

It made grown-ups everywhere cry.

I hate movies that make you bawl.

Then what's your favorite movie?

I like...

Mad Max, The Avengers,

and all the existing
zombie movies in this world.

I see.

- Favorite music?
- K-pop, of course.

- Classical?
- I can't tell the singers apart.

Not singers, but composers.

- Hiking?
- I don't like it even on piggyback.

Single malt whiskey?

I'd rather drink disinfectant.

- Western or Korean cuisine?
- Korean, always.

Me too!

You don't have any friends.

Me neither!

We're a good match.

You Quiz or Amazing Saturday? One, two, three!

- Amazing Saturday!
- Amazing Saturday!

Yeon, what's your dream?

My career aspirations? At this age?

You know, something like
retiring and starting a café.

Coffee is better when someone else brews it.

Or traveling the world.

I'm a stay-at-home type, so I like
watching American dramas at home.

- Making a million dollars.
- A million dollars?

What's your bank account? I'll send it.

Put it away.

- Why? I can do mobile banking.
- That's okay.

If I can call something impossible a dream,

I...

want to be human.

This gumiho doesn't know how good he has it.

If you want to know what
an ordinary life is like,

try riding the subway at rush hour.

Hell isn't far away from us.

That's not all. We work overtime,
stay up all night,

my team leader always
just nags instead of working,

and the viewer ratings are stressful.

- Should I destroy it?
- What?

That bothersome TV station.

That's a tempting offer,

but let's drink up as we consider.

What about you? What's your dream?

For me...

I wouldn't even mind living in a hut,

if only...

my parents were there with me in the future.

Do you have a picture of them?

Send it to me.

Are you okay?

It's awfully dark.

The street lights are all out.

Can't you fix those?

What?

It'd be amazing if you could
fix those with your powers.

Go ask for road management at city hall.

What an awful gumiho.

Sin-ju shuts his hospital and
rushes over when my lights go out.

Mr. Gu gave you bad habits.

Gumihos are scared of electricity.

- We're here.
- Yes.

I'll go now.

Okay. Goodbye.

Hey.

Sleep well.

You too.

It was Yeon, even then.

"I can't reach my mother
who works as a babysitter."

Ms. Kim, have you seen this report?

I'm on a roll right now. Don't talk to me.

- Please take one look.
- Please go away.

You always copy and paste the narrations.

Say that again?

I heard him, too. He
precisely said copy and paste.

Ms. Nam!

The pen is mightier than the sword, right?

Jae-hwan, I'll kill you, then myself. Come here.

I'm so sick of them.

All right, kids.

You'll be building a stone
tower in the Hell for Children.

Once you build it, a goblin
will appear and topple it,

but you must keep building this tower.

That's the only way to be reborn.

I don't like hell.

My sister brushes her
teeth and listens to Dad well.

It may be called "hell,"

but it's nothing more than stacking blocks.

It'll be so much fun if you
two play there together.

I don't like stacking blocks.

She doesn't want to do it.

You have to do it, anyway.

Are there cartoons in hell?

There aren't.

Then may I take this slime toy?

You can't take anything from your former life.

I'm sorry.

You're being awfully strict.

She's not flexible, even a tiny bit.

Why not ban the dead from carrying their toll?

That's what I'm saying.

Stay out of this.

Send the girls in.

Yes, ma'am. All right, come this way.

All right, this way.

Kid, take good care of your sister.

How sentimental.

Come this way.

Hell for Children is still operating?

For breaking parents' hearts.

It's unfair they died early,
and you even call them "awful children."

That law was made to let them
be reborn as quickly as possible.

The afterlife needs a shift in generations too,

starting with the king of the underworld.

Would you like to visit the
Hell of Tongue Ripping?

It's always torture. This isn't the Middle Ages.

Afterlife briefings are in PowerPoint,

and you want to rip out tongues?

Did you come early just to get on my nerves?

No.

Here. Iced Americano.

What do I need to do to find a person?

Are you a detective now?

These two.

They're the ones I looked up in the book.

They aren't dead, yet went
out of touch for 20 years.

- So what?
- Let's use your clairvoyance.

Put it away.

Did you see? Where are they?

I don't know.

Come on, stop making a big
deal out of your clairvoyance.

I mean I'm not seeing them.

- What?
- And if I can't see them...

They aren't in this world or the afterlife.

I'd ask the one who took them away.

"Took them away"?

Who's that?

Why do I keep getting more missions?

Yes, I do this to make a living,

but don't fret over it every night.

Everyone, stop!

The president is here.

It's been a while, Urban Legends team.

Hello, sir.

Having fun at work?

We don't work for fun.
We do it to make a living.

You're the same as always.

You had great ratings last month.

Yes. Buy us a meal!

Mr. Choi, let's all have dinner together soon.

Thank you.

Take care, sir.

You must be Jangseung.

That's right.

Don't turn your back on me.

I heard you're in charge of Fox Hill.

I'm looking for someone.

Have you seen them or not?

- Yes or no?
- I don't know.

I don't like wasting my breath.

I really don't know!

Why didn't you just say so?

You're too young to be stubborn.

So? There's someone else who knows?

Who is it?

Speak louder!

The district magistrate.

"The magistrate"?

Hey, the president only talks to you.

I guess so.

What's your secret?

First off, don't get scared.

My, what a simple answer.

Hey, you'll know when you
become a senior director.

He's scary once you get a title.

You'll be exactly the same.

You never have honey-garlic flavor.

A mix of sweet and salty
is the best for a hectic life.

Do you want some?

What's yours?

Blueberry. But you can't have mine.

If you quit vaping, I'll reconsider.

You cheapskate.

Oh, my.

Is he even human, or just computer graphics?

He has great proportions, great looks,

and a great car.

He's a disaster waiting
to happen before my eyes.

That's harassment.

Let's go.

Why did you come here?

Hey, wait.

What was that?

- Where are we going?
- Hop in. Now.

Now.

What's this situation?

No idea.

Where are we going?

To find your dream.

- No way.
- I even made a playlist for you.

I'm looking for something, Jangseung.

What?

Tiger's Brows.

That's merely a legend!

So am I, but I'm alive and well,
holding you by the neck.

I'll ask you one last time.
Have you seen it or not?

I really haven't!

Really? Then you can go.

No, wait!

Wait! One second!

Wait! Please! Wait!

Those nasty foxes.

Come gather here, everyone!

What brings you here today?

Welcome. Come with me.

Who wants to come with me?

Two, three! Did you get my picture?

Do it again. One, two...

Three! Did you get it?

Wait here. I'll take a quick look.

Don't go anywhere.

Okay.

Hanbok Rental

Be reborn.

I'll...

come and find you.

Where did you go? I looked everywhere for you.

Tale of the Nine-Tailed

Who have you been looking for?

Fox Hill is your turf, right?

You should be more concerned with your survival.

You always end up getting hurt because of me.

Just go find your family,
then continue to live a normal life.

You have the thing that
can look into our past lives.

- What are you doing here?
- To check on something.

It's gone.

Something has awakened in her body.

The serpent isn't dead.
