Unni!

What is this smell...

[September 18, Moon Joo Ran]

Didn't you hear music or something like that?

Is she pretending she's not home?

She can't be!

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

Looks like she's not there.

What's this smell, by the way?

[You moved in three months ago, but we never got to say hello. You're invited to the neighborhood group chat. ID is "cornelia79." Welcome, Neighbor.]

[You moved in three months ago...]

I'm coming back home in six years.

Huh?

Hello!

[Antidepressant]

Honey.

I'm sorry, Honey. I'll call you back in a bit.

[Kioomai Hospital, Director Park Jae h*]

Hello.

Yes, Hello.

I'm sorry. I should've visited you sooner.

Nice to meet you. I'm Seung Jae's teacher, Shin Ji Soo.

What's going on with our Seung Jae?

These are what he handed in for all subjects on the test a few days ago.

Seung Jae gets excellent grades,

and he has never had any trouble with his classmates since he transferred.

But he's been talking less, and skipping lunch the last few days.

All he does is sleep on his desk.

Could something have been going on at home recently?

How about his mother...

Seung Jae.

I have no choice but to call your mother if you keep quiet like that.

How about Dad?

Please call him instead of Mom.

My wife hasn't been feeling so well lately.

I guess Seung Jae noticed that.

I'm sure he's been stressed out since we moved suddenly

and he had to transfer abruptly.

I'm sorry. I'll try talking to him.

The thing is, Dr. Park...

He told me that he wanted to die.

They say stuff like that easily at that age.

I heard there was an incident before he transferred.

It seemed like it had to do with his mother.

Would you be able to tell me about it, by chance?

The incident?

You're making it sound like it was a crime.

Oh! I didn't mean it like that, Dr. Park.

I'm sorry if it came across that way.

I'm starting to feel a little offended.

I'll calm him down first and come by again.

Thank you.

Dr. Park! Dr. Park!

Did you want to sit there?

It's not ready yet...

Let's not tell Mom about today.

It'd be too much for her since it's Aunt's memorial day soon.

Dad.

Can't we go back to Seoul?

Son.

You remember why we moved all the way here, right?

Mom?

I thought you understood, too.

Was I mistaken?

Is that it?

No.

I understand.

Seung Jae, you acting this way

would be bad for Mom.

You know, right?

Honey!

What are you doing over there?

You're coming home together.

I asked you what you were doing.

I keep noticing a foul smell these few days.

I thought maybe a stray cat buried a mouse.

I want to try digging it up.

A smell?

It doesn't smell like anything.

Can't you smell it?

How about you, Seung Jae?

Don't you smell anything foul?

No.

I don't smell anything.

Natural fertilizer?

You really don't remember?

You asked me to get it to start a vegetable garden in the backyard.

I looked it up, and apparently, it can smell foul.

I did?

Really?

Oh, right! I remember.

I asked you to get it for me.

So that was the smell.

Thanks for the meal.

Don't you want to eat more?

Honey, we should brace ourselves from now on.

What?

For our son's puberty.

Write down all the things he upset you about from now on.

Wait until he gets a girlfriend. I'll show her all of that stuff.

He's the director at Kioomai Children's Hospital.

Let me introduce you to Dr. Park Jae h*. Welcome.

Hello, I'm Park Jae h*.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hello.

The allergy season is coming up.

People are experiencing symptoms. What should we be aware of for children?

Since children have a weak immune system, wearing a mask outside would be important.

I see.

- Who's this?
- Hello!

I'm your neighbor who just moved across the street.

I wanted to say hello.

I'm sorry, but we have a bit of a situation.

We'll say hello sometime during the day.

Pardon?

Oh, yes.

I guess I came by too late.

- I'm sorry!
- Yes.

Get home safely.

Geez!

What's this smell?

What are you doing? Come here. Let's watch my interview together.

[You moved in three months ago, but we never got to say hello. You're invited...]

Did I go there too soon?

[You moved in three months ago...]

It doesn't smell here.

Parents can't stop their children from going out.

That's true.

Make sure they wear a mask when they go outside.

Also, try not to let them stay outside for an extended period of time, either.

While playing outside...

My hair looks kind of weird.

The makeup didn't go on as nicely as last time, right?

No. I think you look fine.

Got it. Pollen allergy doesn't only affect adults...

That was the woman who had just moved here, right?

Yes, she seemed a bit fussy.

Have you seen her?

Briefly during the day.

The real estate agent said the house would be empty for a while since they had a situation.

I thought that was great because no one would bother you.

Honey, let me look into it again tomorrow, okay?

By the way, you picked really good apples, Honey.

They really good!

Honey, your phone.

[Team Leader Kim Yoon Beom of Yoosung Pharmaceuticals]

Don't think of it like that.

- Hello?
- Don't make it too complicated...

Just think you have to prepare before fall, no matter what.

Yes, got it. Let's talk about allergies in children...

You're overstepping the boundaries a bit.

As far as allergies are concerned, how would you go about...

You keep saying absurd things without having any fear.

A treatment that this pediatrician used on his patients for the first time.

Oh, I see.

Night fishing?

I'm not sure. I think it'd only mess with my head more.

There are so many things that could trigger it around us.

- Let me think about it.
- For most, it's usually not harmful at all...

but the antigens that are not harmful to some children at all

could trigger a strong immune reaction...

Oh, I see. Being immune isn't always good for children...

Geez!

What's this smell?

What are you thinking so intently about?

It's nothing.

Do you think it still smells?

No.

How about the sound?

You said you kept hearing a thud from the second floor.

Do you keep hearing it?

No.

I don't hear it anymore.

I know you get sensitive around this time.

Seung Jae and I are trying to be more careful because of that, too.

I'm sure your sister wants you to be happier than you are now.

That's the only reason I brought you all the way here, too.

Honey.

I want us to be happy here.

I'm sorry.

Because of me, both you and Seung Jae...

[Unni's Memorial Day]

Unni!

What's this smell?

[September 19, Moon Joo Ran]

Geez!

What's this smell?

Who is it?

I live here.

Oh! I saw you yesterday! I'm your neighbor!

Nice to meet you! I'm Oh Hae Soo.

Well...

I'll get going now.

Excuse me!

What was that smell last night?

It couldn't have been coming from inside.

I think it was coming from the yard.

It's the fertilizer smell.

It's a natural fertilizer.

Fertilizer?

I don't think it was a fertilizer.

Isn't there something rotting in the yard?

It must smell a lot inside, too.

Is it okay?

I couldn't stand it even for a second.

[September 18, Choo Sang Eun]

Geez! Come on!

I told her not to put this in the hallway!

Geez! Gosh...

[511]

Excuse me! Ma'am!

Ma'am! Open the door!

Why?

Why don't you report him already?

Please leave, Ahjussi.

I'm still alive.

I can't run up to the fifth floor because my knees are worn out.

I'll report myself next time if you can't! Understand?

This won't happen next time.

Do you want me to promise you?

I don't know! Whatever!

You always say you're okay.

I don't know! I'm leaving!

You can't do this, man!

This will end badly! Seriously!

Geez!

Has the old man gone senile?

Why is he meddling?

Geez.

Hey! Put this away, too.

Geez, you're so clumsy.

Here!

What's this?

You wouldn't know even if I told you. Just use it.

Is there something you want to eat?

I'm okay. I'm not hungry.

Look at yourself.

Who'd think you're five months pregnant?

You got so skinny, as if you weren't an eyesore already.

How could the baby grow properly in that cramped belly?

Other women crave all sorts of things when they're pregnant.

Why are you like that?

- Strawberries.
- What?

Speak up instead of mumbling!

Strawberries.

I want strawberries.

You've got to be kidding.

Go get them.

The weeds that cause allergy are ragweed and Japanese hops.

Since they're so common,

they can be easily found inside apartment courtyards,

on the sidewalks or up on hills.

If your children have allergies,

try to learn what ragweed looks like,

and Japanese looks like and...
[Dr. Park Jae h*]

Don't be pathetic and get the old ones on sale! Get the organic ones!

Aigoo! Dr. Park! I finally got a hold of you.

It's me!

I'm watching you on TV right now.

You're looking better and better on-screen somehow.

You're overstepping the boundaries a bit.

You know, because you keep avoiding my calls,

my misunderstanding just keeps growing.

You keep saying absurd things without having any fear.

I know, right?

I'm kind of fearless these days, Dr. Park.

Now that we're talking about it,

why don't I try to be more afraid and you...

can try to give your brain a break.

How about some night fishing?

You said you liked Banyeo Reservoir last time.

Remember, right?

Around 11 would be good. What do you think?

Night fishing?

I'm not sure. I think it'd only mess with my head more.

What's the problem, Dr. Park?

I'll get you a really nice fishing bag this time.

I have some stuff to give back to you, too.

[Organic]

[Strawberry Ice Cream]

[Jeim Pharmacy]

No, no, listen to me! Hurry.

Oh, my! Dance?

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Could you give me one of those?

Wake up, ahjumma!

You'd end up giving birth to a kid like me!

Hey, what the heck!

Is she out of her mind?

Do you want one?

She's leaving because she's scared!

- Hey, you want one?
- Come here!

- I'll give you one! Don't go!
- Where are you going?

- Come over here!
- Don't go!

- Don't go!
- Don't go!

- So that wasn't it?
- Weren't you talking about that?

No, no. What I said was...

That cheap stench will get on me, too! You got that?

When I tell you not to do it...

just don't do it!

sh*t...

Where are you going? Huh?

Where are you going, huh?

Is something over there? Huh?

You're dead tonight, okay?

[Unni, could these serve as evidence?]

Evidence aside...

How can you keep living like this?

I'm doing this because I can't.

Unni.

The lawyer who helped you back then.

You'll come when I meet with them, right?

Yes. A divorce senior is still a senior.

Anyway, would you be alive by then?

Oh, right. We're having a work dinner with the people from the HQ.

You should come to show yourself.

I can't. I took a half day off.

I need to visit my family in Hwaju.

It's because of your mom, isn't it?

Your contract is expiring soon!

You're taking a half day off to visit your mom at a crucial time like this?

If you can't get hired full-time this time-

I won't, anyway.

You know what's going on with Deputy Kim and Ms. Kim, Unni.

Those b*stards.

I should just report them to the HQ and get rid of them completely!

[Yoon Beom oppa]

Sorry, give me just five minutes. I'll change quickly and be right there.

What are you doing? Come down quickly!

[12 Cha 6642]

[All voice recordings]

sh*t!

Will you keep annoying me like this?

What's with you?

You know there's no place to park!

You should've hurried and waited for me!

She's so thoughtless. Seriously...

I know. I should've hurried. I'm sorry.

Geez! Turn away when you do that.

Gosh, seriously!

You can't be serious right now.

sh*t!

Move, move, move!

sh*t!

Hey!

Hey.

Wouldn't most pregnant women cover their stomachs first?

How come you're holding the handle like that?

You tried to get an ab*rtion behind my back. Some mother you are.

I know. How dare I...

Here we go again! You're talking back again?

Sorry.

But I thought we were going to my mom's house.

Cornelia.

What's that place?

How much do you think I could get?

What do you mean?

That thing.

How many 50,000 won bills would fit in there?

The baby will be born soon, too.

We should try living like other people, too.

Don't you think?

[September 20, Choo Sang Eun]

Mom.

Aigoo! Sang Eun, you're up!

How come you're coming back with Mom?

Gosh, Sang Eun.

I was on my way home from work and

I saw Mother sitting in the garden like a new bride!
[Mother! 1. Don't go out alone. 2. You have to stay at home...]

I want you to go home now!

Go! Come on!

b*tch.. What a b*tch...

Don't be like that, Mother!

She might talk like that,

but she's happy that you often come these days.

Mother! Let's take a shower now! Let's!

Sang Eun, you might be upset but try to understand.

She's been worse lately.

Mother!

She wants to leave because you keep saying you hate her and are afraid of her!

Oh, right!

Gosh, you almost forgot about this!

This is a really expensive brand.

Yoon Beom gifted it to you, right? Gosh, I'm jealous.

Do you want it?

What would I want that for?

It suits a young and pretty lady like you.

Sang Eun, come with Yoon Beom next time when Oppa is home.

I'll make his favorite dumplings.

Unni.

He never liked dumplings.

Huh?

Yes.

Yes, this is she.

Right now?

Where should I go to?

Mom.

They say my husband is dead.

Does dirt smell like that when it's spoiled?

Just like a dead body rotting?

You think the previous owner buried a dead body or something?

What was it?

He said he was meeting some hospital director at a reservoir.

Is it because you're afraid of Director?

What?

Is that what you believe?

I definitely saw it.

I'll dig it.

I need to see it for myself!
