what if; what are you doing

Three flavours, all here. Worry, usually as 어떡하지: '여기 메뉴판을 내가 못 읽으면 어떡하지?' 'what if I can't read the menu?' A scolding, as 어떡해: (얼쑤) 탈락을 하고 있으면 어떡해 너는 합격을 했어야지! And a mock complaint that something is too good, which is very common in food video: 꼬릿살하고 등살이 벌써 이렇게 맛있으면 어떡해...? 'how can it already taste this good?' Tone of voice, not grammar, tells them apart.

Register: casual throughout these lines
