Young-ran.

What is that smell?

SEPTEMBER 18 MOON JU-RAN

Didn't you hear some kind of music?

Maybe they're home, ignoring the bell.

No, that can't be.

If we leave a note, they'll probably see it later.

I guess no one's home.

By the way, what's that smell?

You moved in three months ago, but we haven't met yet.

We invite you to our group chat.

I'm home after six years.

Hello.

PHARMSERIN

Honey.

Honey, I'm sorry. Let me call you right back.

KIUMAI PEDIATRICS CLINIC DIRECTOR PARK JAE-HO

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Park.

I'm sorry. I should've come to meet you sooner.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Shin Ji-su, Seung-jae's teacher.

What did Seung-jae do?

A few days ago, on his test,

this is how he turned in the answer sheets.

Seung-jae has been getting good grades

and never had problems with his classmates since he transferred here.

But for a few days now, he hasn't talked much,

and eaten anything.

All he does is sleep on his desk.

So I wanted to ask you if there's something going on at home.

What about with his mother?

Seung-jae.

If you don't tell me anything, I have no choice, but to call your mom.

My dad.

Please call my dad, not my mom.

My wife hasn't been feeling well these days,

and I guess Seung-jae knew that.

We moved here and he transferred schools out of the blue.

I'm sure he's been under a lot of stress.

I'm sorry. I'll talk to him.

The thing is, Mr. Park...

He wants to die.

That's what Seung-jae said.

Well, kids his age tend to say things like that carelessly.

I heard that there was some case before he came to this school.

I think it had something to do with his mom.

Could you tell me what happened?

"Case"?

You make it sound like it was a crime.

Oh, no, Mr. Park. I didn't mean it that way.

I'm sorry if you're offended.

It's a bit unpleasant.

I will calm him down first

and come see you again another time. Goodbye.

Mr. Park. Mr. Park!

Let's not tell Mom about what happened today.

Your aunt's death anniversary is coming up soon.

Dad.

Can't we move back to Seoul?

Son.

You remember why we moved down here, right?

Mom?

I thought you understood, Seung-jae.

Am I wrong?

Is that it?

No.

I do understand.

Seung-jae.

You behaving like this...

won't be good for your mom.

You know that, right?

Honey.

What are you doing over there?

You two came home together?

What are you doing?

I've been smelling a bad odor for a few days now.

I thought maybe a stray cat buried a mouse here,

so I was going to dig and check.

Odor?

What odor are you talking about?

You don't smell it?

What about you, Seung-jae?

Don't you get a bad smell?

No.

I don't.

I don't smell anything.

Natural fertilizer?

You really don't remember?

You asked me to buy some to start a kitchen garden in the backyard.

I looked it up

and found that natural fertilizer can smell bad.

I did?

I asked for it?

Oh, right. I do remember now. I asked you to buy some.

So that's what the smell is.

Thanks for the meal.

You don't want some more?

Honey. We should be prepared now.

What?

He's going through puberty.

You should start writing down everything he does that upsets you.

Once he gets a girlfriend, I'll show it to her.

Here is Dr. Park Jae-ho, the director of Kiumai Pediatrics Clinic.

Welcome.

Hello. I'm Park Jae-ho.

- Hello. - Hello.

...those symptoms will appear.

Especially children...

I recommend children wear masks when doing outdoor activities.

- Who is it? - Hello.

I'm your next-door neighbor who just moved in today.

I wanted to say hello.

I'm sorry,

but we can't see you right now.

We'll come say hello in the daytime.

Sorry?

Oh... Sure. I came at such a late hour.

I'm sorry.

No problem.

Good night.

What is that smell?

What are you doing?

Come here. Let's watch my interview together.

You moved in three months ago, but we haven't met yet.

Did I go over too soon?

I don't smell anything here.

Parents can't stop kids

- from going outside. - You're right.

When they go outside, make sure they are wearing masks.

Make sure they don't stay outside for too long.

While playing outside...

My hair looks weird.

Makeup wasn't applied as well as last time, right?

I think you look fine.

Not just for adults, but for children too, pollen...

That was our new neighbor, right?

Yes. She's a bit raucous.

You saw her too?

Just a glimpse of her earlier.

The realtor told me there was something wrong in that house,

so it'd remain vacant for a while.

So I thought that was good because you wouldn't be bothered.

I'll look into it again tomorrow, honey. Okay?

By the way, you bought really good apples.

They taste so good.

Honey, you're getting a call.

KIM YUN-BEOM, YUSEONG PHARMACEUTICAL

Hello?

I think you're crossing the line.

You keep boldly saying things that could cause real trouble.

Night fishing?

I don't know.

I don't think it will help.

I'll think about it.

What is that smell?

What are you thinking about?

Oh, it's nothing.

You still think something stinks?

No.

What about the noise?

A few days ago,

you said you kept hearing a thumping sound from the second floor.

Do you still hear it?

No. I don't hear it anymore.

You get sensitive this time of the year.

That's why Seung-jae and I try to be more careful.

Your sister too would want you to be happier.

That is the only reason why we moved down here.

Honey.

Let's be happy here.

I'm sorry.

Both you and Seung-jae...

All because of me.

YOUNG-RAN'S DEATH ANNIVERSARY

Young-ran.

What is that smell?

SEPTEMBER 19 MOON JU-RAN

What is that smell?

Who are you?

I live here.

Oh, I saw you yesterday. My neighbor.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Oh Hae-su.

Well...

Oh.

I should go.

Wait.

What was that smell yesterday?

I doubt it was from the house.

I think it was coming from your backyard.

It's the smell of fertilizer.

Natural fertilizer.

Fertilizer?

I don't think it's the smell of fertilizer.

I think there might be something rotting in the ground.

It must really reek inside the house too. Does it not bother you?

I couldn't stand it even for a brief moment.
