…, but then came; when they get here

-는데 sets up background or a contrast and 오다 supplies the coming: 안 오길 바랬는데 오셨습니다 'I was hoping it wouldn't come, but here it is', 제가 일 때문에 왔는데 온 김에 같이 왔어요 'I came for work, and since I was here I came along'. It also frames what will happen on arrival: 애들이 식빵 무지하게 먹겠는데 오면? 'the guys are going to demolish this bread when they get here'.
