ORIGINAL STORY WEBTOON SWEET HOME BY CARNBY KIM AND YOUNGCHAN HWANG
SWEET HOME
I was planning on killing myself.
But today, I'm leaving this place
to survive.
You can't die even if you want to. You're a "Monster Human."
You'll do better than the others.
I have a feeling that a very special MH will be born.
Can you develop a vaccine with my help?
Would you be fine even if you had to die?
I told you it was pointless.
Just admit it.
You're a monster.
Yes.
I am a monster.
Realize that there's nothing you can protect.
Live in despair, unable to die.
There was nothing I could do.
I just wanted to become a decent person.
Do you want to die a pathetic death?
Is that what you want?
Liar.
I told you already
that I could help.
I can make your dreams come true.
Every single one.
Here it comes.
-There you go. -Let's see.
Looks good, honey.
-Amazing. -Try the soup first.
Come on. Try it, Hyun-su.
Here.
But this isn't real.
It doesn't matter as long as you can be happy.
Go live in your dreams.
I'll suffer your hellish reality for you.
No.
How stubborn.
Hyun-su!
"You were a mistake."
"You're a monster."
I didn't give birth to a monster.
Did you use your hands to turn them into monsters?
Yi-kyung!
Yi-kyung is badly hurt.
She could die.
Mom's not going to die.
So don't cry for her.
I swear she had no symptoms.
-How can she suddenly… -It was her daughter.
Humans can't trigger monsterization.
Monsters are still human.
They're still alive within.
I can see it all, Eun-yu.
I can see the desires of the people who turned.
But Yi-kyung still won't be happy there.
I have to put an end to this.
It has to be me.
It doesn't have to be you.
Why am I still alive?
I wish I had just turned into a monster.
Cha Hyun-su.
Are you going to hit me with that?
Bring him back.
Bring Hyun-su back.
He's hurt.
Leave him to rest.
I was just helping him out because he was hurting.
Give me a break.
This is all your fault.
Wasn't Hyun-su in control?
I'm Hyun-su too.
The real Hyun-su, not you.
We agreed to help each other.
It wouldn't be great for me if he died.
Just leave him alone and get lost.
Really?
Would you be okay with that?
Would you be okay with Cha Hyun-su…
who's a weakling?
Yes.
What are you doing?
I don't know.
What should we do?
What do you want to do?
You crazy bastard!
Unbelievable.
Cha Hyun-su.
I knew you'd come back.
If you didn't drop dead, that is.
This place was everything to you too.
But I don't know who you are.
Well, that's how it is.
Being a public figure,
I can't recognize everyone who recognizes me.
Were you a researcher?
I don't pay much attention to people.
I'm not so keen on them.
And yet, you seemed very interested in me.
Right.
So tell me.
Who are you?
Your first…
test subject.
I really wanted to show you.
MH-1, was it?
Or should I say
your friend,
Nam Sang-won?
Good to see you again.
I was worried
that you might be dead.
So you're Nam Sang-won?
What a load of bullshit.
Se-yeon.
You did this.
SANG-WON
Sang-won…
I'm sorry, Sang-won.
Seo Yi-kyung is dead.
Nam Sang-won's desires.
This happened because he wanted to escape from the damned experiment.
I became free thanks to the pain you gave me.
And you succeeded in separating the monster.
Congratulations.
So is this the end for me?
Why would it be?
If anything, I'm grateful.
Monsterization made me who I am.
But it was you
who completed me.
Then why?
Why are you still here
after all that happened?
Follow me.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Say hello.
MH-3?
I'm Hwang Chi-seong.
So as I said, MH-3.
I'm more used to that.
Well, names don't matter.
Right, number three?
Call me whatever you want.
I'll get to feel at ease thanks to you.
Unfortunately for you,
I'll be giving your friend a tough time.
Do you remember
the experiment you enjoyed conducting?
I thought I'd give it a go.
Yong-seok…
Yong-seok!
Sergeant Kim?
Yong-seok!
Sarge!
Make your choice.
You can take one with you.
We always keep our word.
What's the point of this experiment?
To find others like us.
We're stimulating desire, which is the first step to monsterization.
Time out.
No!
No, Jong-hyun!
Jong-hyun!
No!
Jong-hyun!
Does this bother you?
Because you're also human?
No, because this is meaningless.
If what number three said is true,
there should be more MHs.
But it seems you haven't succeeded yet.
You're too greedy.
Do you want both of them dead?
You're running out of time.
Make your choice.
Sarge…
Sarge, no!
Don't do it!
Yong-seok.
No! This is all my fault!
No, it's not.
No one thinks it's your fault.
You have to survive, okay?
What the hell are you doing?
I'm just like you.
If I give up on you,
I'll give up on myself.
I'm getting all of you out.
Dumb bastard.
Get up.
Let's get out of here.
Come on.
Fuck!
Kill them.
I'll do it.
Don't let us down this time.
Yeong-hu!
Is this really the only way?
It was my first time.
I've seen the desires of monsters many times,
but never to the level I did with Yi-kyung.
There still might be a chance
if Yi-kyung realizes all of it is fake
just like I did.
So she could be herself again?
I've got to try.
Giving up isn't an option.
Then I'm going with you.
You've just got your mind back.
What if the monster takes control again?
No.
-You can't. -Hey.
I'm sorry I keep making you wait,
but Yi-kyung is my priority right now.
I can't protect you too.
I promise
I'll bring her back.
You should go now.
And never come back.
Just forget it.
She didn't even ask you to stay.
Hey, pretty boy!
We meet again.
I told you we were meant to be.
Look.
It's your kid, Yi-kyung.
She wants her mother.
It can't be.
She's your baby.
No!
She's not? Then can I kill her?
-Is that you, Yi-kyung? -No, stop!
Don't touch her!
Cut the act.
You don't love her that much.
Do you even have maternal love?
Please don't.
You wanted to kill her, didn't you?
That's what you wanted.
No, that's not true!
So you want to protect her?
Can you actually do it this time?
I can.
I can, so please…
Yi-kyung!
That's the monster you created.
It's taken so many lives, all because of you.
What will you do?
It might kill your kid once and for all.
Just kill it.
Only then can you protect your kid.
Yi-kyung!
-Yi-kyung! -Yi-kyung!
Get yourself together!
-Yi-kyung! -That thing wants to kill your kid!
Wait.
Wait a minute.
I'll be right back.
I must've lost my damned mind.
Die, asshole!
Sergeant Kim!
You'll die if you go.
Why did you do it?
Why?
Why the hell did you do it?!
Seo-jin!
Sergeant Kim!
Where are we going?
Where you came from.
The fruit is almost ripe.
It's different this time.
Something extraordinary is going to happen.
Lead the way.
We're going to the stadium.
Did the Crow Platoon really take Ye-seul?
Why would they?
Have you not found Seung-wan yet?
So is he a monster now or did he hide the monsters?
That doesn't matter anymore.
He'll be punished either way.
I see Chief Ji, Sergeant Tak.
OFFICE
She just entered the office.
Where are we going?
Is this your way of apologizing?
It's all right, Mom. I understand you.
What's wrong?
Why won't you say anything?
Are you going to ignore me now?
I did everything you told me to!
Ye-seul.
I need your help.
From now on, those who hide their symptoms
and the ones who harbor them will face immediate consequences.
Did you know about this?
I had no idea.
Mom, come on.
Mom!
You put me in danger.
This is the last time I'm helping you.
Go out this way. It's the exit.
Or go back to Sergeant Tak.
Mom, please.
I'm sorry, okay?
Don't do this to me.
Mom!
Why do you keep calling me that?
Your real mom became a monster and died a year ago.
Do you realize how much I wanted to be called mom?
I even wanted to hear it in my dreams.
But not by you.
By my son.
Got it?
My son.
I can't believe myself.
I guess living together for a while made me care about you.
I almost made a big mistake.
Where does that lead to?
You should've left when I gave you the chance.
Mom, please don't do this to me.
I swear I saw her come in here.
But…
Mom, please.
Mom!
I'm scared.
Say hello, Ye-seul.
This is my son.
My son!
Hey, brat.
You're still alive.
How long has it been?
Just so you know,
there's nothing we can do.
I know.
He said to wait, didn't he?
I'll give you a signal.
Yi-kyung!
You have to stop.
We need to go back.
Please stop. Get yourself together.
Yi-kyung!
We won't last long here.
Don't tell me we're abandoning them now.
We need to pull them up or something.
No!
We need more time.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Untie me.
Untie me now.
Let me go!
Chan-yeong, no!
No!
Park Chan-yeong!
Cha Hyun-su!
Wake up!
Mom!
Over here.
Mom, I'm over here!
Yi-kyung.
We have to go.
Hurry.
She's not your kid.
Your real kid is waiting for you.
We need to leave.
Let's go.
No.
Come on, hurry.
No.
-Let's go. -No!
No!
Cha Hyun-su!
