Wait.

Aren’t you going to apologize for misunderstanding me?

Liu, do you have any plans after the party?

Do you want to go have a drink with me?

Of course.

“Reunion” is a perfume that I made to send a message that I want to see him again.

Are you talking about your boyfriend?

I’m talking about my son.

His name is…

Guy.

It’s really you, Guy.

Liu.

Come with me.

But I’m not here with you.

I’m here with her.

That’s why I’m telling you to come with me.

This woman is using you.

I’m not.

Really?

I think you are.

I guess you haven’t quite kick that old selfish habit of yours

where all you care about is your own gain and never other people’s feelings.

You’re overstepping.

You can’t just say that to her.

I’m sorry on his behalf for being so rude.

So you won’t come with me?

You have no right to tell me what to do or what not to do.

Ann.

Let’s go somewhere else.

S–Sorry about this.

Hey, Guy.

I know you’re in a bad mood but you can’t say things like that to her, dude.

You asked me why I don’t like someone like Faye.

It’s because of her.

I’m really sorry.

My friend was such a mannerless oaf,

and on your first meet, too.

It wasn’t our first meeting.

That was him.

That was the man I was telling you about.

That means…

You’re his…

She’s my mother.

I’ve been waiting for you.

Actually… I know Ms. Linda has a son.

But I really didn’t expect it to be Guy.

What should I do, Saint?

It looks like Ms. Linda really wants to talk to him.

I guess she really does.

She isn’t usually the type to ask for help.

Whatever it is,

she’s someone who always tries her best to do it all on her own.

She probably really did everything she could this time.

Well… yes.

Liu.

I’m sorry I have to do this to you.

But I really don’t know what else to do to get in touch with Guy.

I’ve been calling him but he never picks up.

I sent birthday and Christmas presents and never got anything back.

He never lets me in.

Sometimes I fool myself that

it isn’t him who blocks me out,

that there must be someone else…

who doesn't want us to reconcile.

Look.

Gale just won’t throw this away when it’s all torn up.

Is this what you meant when you said there was an emergency?

What other emergency would a father have if not about his children?

Hmm?

Have you been drinking?

Is something the matter?

Or were you just out having fun?

[La Dixieme releases new perfume ‘Reunion’ in Bangkok as homecoming gift]

It was nothing.

I was just hanging out.

You want to help me fix this?

Why don’t you try?

Here.

Alright.

Careful with the needle.

I don’t know if I should get involved.

I’m afraid I might only make things worse.

And… I don’t want Guy to hate me for this.

But you want to help, don’t you?

Yes.

If all you’re worried about is Guy hating you,

then don’t be.

Whatever you do, I don’t think that guy even knows how to hate you.

Guys, this is so good.

Thank you, Ladin1970, for the stars and also these delish snacks.

My fans really are the best.

Oh, you guys, my adorable brother is sneaking about again.

Do you want to see him? [Ladin1970: I’m glad you got the snacks I sent you.]

- Guy, come on here for a bit. - Hey!

Say hello to my fans.

Stop it!

Smile. No!

Why not?

Did you guys see him?

He’s cute, isn’t he?

I have to go for now.

But if you’re interested in that shirt over there,

just leave it in my inbox.

Bye-bye.

You happy now?

You stole my shirt and then bullied me.

You don’t even deserve this back.

Just give it to me.

Thank you for fixing it.

Go thank Dad.

He stayed up all night putting it back together for you.

Okay.

Dad!

Thank you for fixing this.

Is it working?

It is. It’s perfect.

It is?

Yeah.

Light it up for me.

Wow!

How is it?

- Is it cute? - It’s great.

You’re the best.

Did you have a hard time fixing it?

Pricked myself a few times but it was fine.

[Can I see you for a bit?]

Why didn’t you tell me?

[Yes.]

It’s perfect.

Thank you.

Would you like something to drink? I can order something for you.

Lemon tea and rose tea, please.

Is the rose tea for me?

Yeah.

You like the way it smells, don’t you?

Well…

I wanted to see you because...

Did you catch up with the lessons?

Do you want my notes or anything?

I’m alright.

I just wanted to talk to you about...

About Faye…

I stand by that I don’t trust her.

That’s not what I wanted to talk to you about.

I know.

But that’s what I want to talk to you about.

You’re giving me a chance.

Can we talk about this?

Mac got suspended.

I don’t think anybody would dare do that to you again.

Ann has been asking everyone to report that photo and has it deleted.

You can come back to school now.

Okay.

Are you… done talking?

Yeah.

I am.

I…

I need to see you because I…

I know.

Just say what you want to say.

Stop sneaking around and using someone else to do your bidding.

Guy, I have a lot of things I want to say to you.

I don’t.

I’m just here to tell you to stop using my friend just to get what you want.

I don’t know why you want to see me now

when you’re the one who left us.

I never wanted to leave you.

But you did.

You left us for your new man.

All you think about is yourself.

You never care about me or Gale.

The only thing that matters to you is your perfumes.

Is that what your father told you about me?

It doesn’t matter what Dad says.

You know what does matter?

The fact that Dad stays by our side all these years,

and the fact that you never did.

Don’t try to see me again.

I don’t want to hate you any more than this.

Let’s go, Liu.

What’s wrong with you?

Why do you keep letting her use you like that?

Sorry.

I forgot she might be important to what you love.

I won’t get in your way when it comes to her from now on.

Guy.

Thank you for worrying about me.

But if it’s not too much for you,

could you please tell me about this?

Do you remember that day when we went to the perfume store together?

The perfume you helped me find…

It belonged to her.

I should be happy, shouldn’t I?

I’m the happiest person.

I’m the happiest girl.

- Linda, what are you doing? - Let me go!

Guy

Guy, get out of here.

Get out.

- Stop it. - Let go!

Stop!

Are you looking at the frangipani blooming?

No.

I’m looking at them getting trapped.

If all this drives you so insane,

I’ll sign that divorce paper.

Now that I think about it,

the story you told me was a bit… weird.

How so?

Guy said Ms. Linda left them for another man, right?

But from what I heard, after her divorce,

Ms. Linda never dated anyone again.

She didn’t?

After the divorce,

the only person who stays close to Linda is Wut.

He’s been Linda’s assistant for years.

More importantly, he likes men.

He’s married to some French guy.

All Ms. Linda does all these years is build her perfume brand and fight for custody.

She’s never even looked twice at anyone who tries to take her out.

I always hear her say she will do her best to take her children away no matter what.

Take her children away”?

That’s her exact words.

I don’t really know what that actually means.

[Child Custody]

[Merry Christmas, Guy and Gale.]

Hello.

I’m here to see Ms. Linda.

Oh, I see.

This way, please.

These aroma materials all smell different.

Some of them smell amazing the moment it touches our skin,

but fades quickly as time goes by.

Some might not catch your attention at first,

but matures into your favorite scent as it fades.

Let’s try it.

Oh, Liu?

Excuse me.

Hello.

I’m in the middle of class.

Do you want to try making a bottle of perfume while you’re here?

Come on in.

We’re making the perfume of our imagination today.

Try making something that you like,

or something that you’d like to give to someone.

Just go with your wildest imagination.

Let’s begin.

Start with smelling each bottle,

and then see how you can mix things up.

Let me know if you need any help.

What would you like, ma’am?

One matcha, please.

Can I have matcha with watermelon juice, please?

Watermelon juice? Interesting.

You have to try it.

It smells divine.

Of course.

Oh, you have something to talk to me about, right?

I…

I want to talk about Guy.

Did Guy send you here?

What did he say?

Actually...

Here’s your order.

Thank you.

No problem.

Thank you

Excuse me.

I think you got my order wrong.

This one doesn’t have watermelon juice in it.

I’m sure the order was right.

I think you picked up the wrong cup.

They look the same, but smell quite distinctly different.

If the order wasn’t wrong,

she would have been able to tell the difference and said so.

I think I really did pick up your cup.

Let’s order another.

Can we have another of the same order please?

Of course.

You must be wondering

why I didn’t say anything about the scent

when I should be the one who knows best about it.

I wouldn’t…

I…

I’ve lost my sense of smell.

That’s the main reason I left Guy and Gale.

What happened?

Where do I even begin?

Should I start with the part where I married someone everyone thought was

the perfect man?

Will you marry me?

I’ll make you the luckiest girl.

Yes.

But as it turned out,

we valued our happiness very differently.

Thank you for the ride.

I told you I could have called a cab myself, though.

Just get inside, sis.

I thought you quit your job.

I thought we agreed I could keep working.

You’re a mother now.

You should be staying with your babies.

I’m already working.

Why would you also be out there just so people can call me a bad husband?

So are you worried about me,

about our babies,

or about losing face?

Watch it, Linda.

It’s both parents’ job to take care of their children.

I can’t just quit my job and abandon my perfumes.

Perfumes are my life.

If you insist on going out and about,

don’t be surprised when people start thinking you’re having an affair.

What?

Don’t you know how lucky you are to have someone willing to support you?

All you need to do is be a mother, take care of your children,

and look pretty at functions.

Isn’t that supposed to be every girl’s dream?

Honestly, aren’t you exhausted?

You take care of your babies during the day and go to the lab at night?

Of course I am.

But it’s okay.

I’ll do my best despite it all.

I want to show my children that they shouldn’t just give up on their dreams.

Hey.

What are you doing with my phone?

Are you seeing him?

Is that why you keep deleting your chats?

I deleted those chats because...

Give it to me.

Hey.

Stop.

Leave my phone alone.

Why should I?

Because I really have nothing to hide!

Stop!

Hey?

Honey?

Honey?

You’ve lost your sense of smell because of the concussion.

If this condition doesn’t let up within six months,

there’s a possibility that you might lose it for good.

I’m sorry.

I’m really sorry.

But all this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t because of you.

If you’d only stayed home,

it wouldn’t have come to this.

This might be for the best.

We won’t have to fight anymore.

Now that you can’t make perfumes,

our marriage will be perfect.

“Perfect”?

“Perfect”?

I have a great husband.

I am lucky.

I am lucky! I am lucky!

If all this drives you so insane,

I’ll sign that divorce paper.

But our children stay with me.

Because if you want to leave for your job,

it means you can’t be a good mother.

You’re not qualified to raise our children.

Isn’t that right?

Why are women who can’t be with their children 24/7 called “bad mothers”?

I got it, sis.

I’m sorry for leaving.

But I promise…

One day, I’ll come back and take you away from someone like him.

When I left Guy and Gale,

I tried many times to get custody of my children.

But it always fell through

because Guy didn’t want me to win.

I didn’t understand why at first,

not until I saw Guy again.

But you did.

You left us for your new man.

Guy must have thought I left him for someone else.

It’s always hurt and pained me to my very core

to have to choose between my children and myself.

I don’t understand why we must only choose one thing.

Why can’t we follow our dreams while keeping our family together?

I made a mistake.

If only I could put up with it and stayed,

my relationship with Guy would have been better.

I lost.

It was my defeat.

You haven’t lost.

I don’t want you to.

It wasn't your fault for wanting to take control of your own life,

and it shouldn’t reflect on you as a mother.

Hey.

You won’t lose.

You won’t lose everything

just because you want to remain who you truly are.

I have something to tell you.

I think we should change the font right here.

Yes, ma’am.

Excuse me for a minute.

Why don’t you all go take a short break?

Thank you.

Liu told you to come here, didn’t she?

You don’t look like you believe my story.

What does it take for you to stop?

I’m really happy to see you grow into such a great man all on your own.

You want me to stop?

I’ll ask you to promise me one thing in return.

Promise me you’ll take care of yourself.

Just grow strong, like you’ve been doing.

Please take care of Gale for me.

Let her have her freedom.

Make sure she gets to do whatever she wants.

Is that all?

It is.

I have one last thing for you, too.

What does it smell like?

I don’t know.

How could you not know?

You’re a perfumer.

It’s a scentless preserved flower.

No.

Tell me what this smells like.

I told you I don’t know.

You have to know!

You don’t want to believe

that what I said is true, do you?

You just don’t want to believe

that the man who raised you did that to me.

Goal

Fight me all you want.

I have to at least admit that your father really did a good job with you.

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to you.

But you can’t deny that he really did me wrong.

He trapped me and refused to let me be who I am.

All that for what he called a family.

But honestly, Guy,

is it fair for me to take all the blame?

Is it fair for all the time I lost,

for all the years I lost with you and Gale?

What I do,

who I am,

don’t I deserve any of that?

I just want us to talk.

I just want to spend some quality time with you.

I just want to have dinners with my children and meet up sometimes.

That’s all I want.

I understand if you don’t want to forgive me.

But won’t you give me a chance

to spend some time with Gale?

Oh?

Table for one?

Where are Guy and Gale?

Erm…

It’s…

[I’m giving her back the time you stole from her. –Guy]

Hello.

Are you hungry?

Let’s have dinner.

Come.

Here.

Oh, these are all my favorite.

They are.

You like shrimp nuggets.

Guy loves stewed eggs, but only from this restaurant.

Am I right?

How do you know that, Mom?

What mother doesn’t know what her children like?

Smile.

No!

Why not?

No.

[Ladin1970: I’m glad you got the snacks I sent you.]

Fine.

Did you guys see him?

He’s cute, isn’t he?

I have to go for now.

But if you’re interested in that shirt over there,

just leave it in my inbox.

Is that my shirt?

Well, I…

I’ve been watching you two.

Before this,

I only ever saw your faces on screen.

But getting to see you in person and sharing a meal like this…

It’s a dream come true.

It’s okay now, Mom.

We’re here.

Here.

It’s hot so be careful.

Thank you.

Where’s Gale?

She’s streaming in her room.

What did your father say when he knew you were coming to see me?

Well…

Probably not happy.

You’re the side of himself he doesn’t want us to see, after all.

I’ll say this one thing to you right here and now…

I won’t tell Gale about your father’s and my history.

That’s something between us adults.

I think it’s wrong to pressure children to take sides or make judgments.

But I had to tell you because I had to defend myself for what your father put in your head.

But it’s all up to you, Guy.

You decide how you feel about this.

I know.

It’s all the more reason for me to want to live by myself.

I’ve always thought Dad was the best guy ever.

I wanted to be just like him.

But now that I know,

I want to be alone so I can learn more about both you and him.

As for Gale, I’ll talk to her later about what she wants to do.

Am I causing you trouble, Guy?

No, you’re not.

I actually think you’re helping me grow and learn.

And I have grown.

I think it’s time I move out.

Come to think of it, I think we should thank Liu for this.

And the preserved flower, that was also Liu’s idea, wasn’t it?

She said I should prove it if I didn’t believe you.

But…

If you can’t smell,

how do you make perfumes all these years?

Do you know about Beethoven?

He lost his hearing during the last years of his life.

But he kept writing music.

I heard about that.

I guess I’m not that different.

When it’s something you do every day,

and it’s something you love,

you remember.

Actually, I find that writing music and making perfumes are quite similar.

Both are the kind of beauty you can’t touch,

but both are still so beautiful.

Have you found a place to live yet?

Do you need my help with anything?

It’s alright.

I’ll work something out on my own.

I want to live near campus.

You don’t need my help.

You want to stay close to campus.

I have a feeling you just want to be close to someone.

Sorry for calling so early.

Can I see you today?

You said you wanted to talk, but now you’re quiet.

I’m thinking where to begin.

I have a lot to thank you for, and a lot to apologize.

I have something like that to say to you, too.

Really?

You first.

I want to thank you,

Thank you for making me talk to my mother,

and for making me understand so many things I’ve never known before.

Oh, I owe you an apology for that.

What do you mean?

I’m sorry I never knew you went through something like that,

and that you actually despise perfumes.

That day in junior high when you took me to that perfume store,

you tried your best to talk to me about it,

even when you hated it.

When I thought you were looking down on me,

it was just because you felt bad that I like what you hate.

Then I’m also sorry I never knew that my actions offended you.

Did I spook you when I wrote that perfume’s name on the attendance sheet?

So badly.

Not as bad as when you called out my name to sit next to you, though.

I just recognized you and thought I wanted to talk to you.

But then you told me I was the worst,

even worse than those people who bullied you.

I’m sorry…

…and thank you for saving me when Mac was blackmailing me.

You got hurt because of me.

It’s alright.

Can I ask you one thing, though?

Yeah?

If something like that ever comes up again,

can you please not use your fists?

I don’t want you to get hurt again.

I want to be able to even try that.

I never had any problem with this before.

But now I’m starting to be afraid I might turn out just like Dad one of these days.

You won’t.

You’re so far from that.

Everything you do is for someone else, not yourself.

So I don’t have to stop using my fists?

You do.

Then help me out.

Me? How could I even help you with that?

Try not getting into trouble.

Be strong.

I’ll try.

Thanks.

Can I ask you something?

Hmm?

How did you recognize me?

They say humans have five senses…

Sight, taste, smell, sound, and touch.

They say the first thing people forget is sound.

And the last to forget is smell.

So… no matter how differently you look,

the smell of your perfume remains in my mind.

Funny, isn't it?

I said I hated perfumes,

but maybe I was just resenting my mother.

Does that mean you’re fine with perfumes now?

Umm.

I guess.

Then I’ve got something for you.

I made this in Ms. Linda’s lab.

I was thinking of you when I made it, but I didn’t think you’d want it.

Does it have a name?

You name it.

Do you have a pen?

I’ll go with this one.

So you know we have always seen each other,

since then and even now.

Try it.

Do you like it?

Yeah.

Does that mean we’re friends now?

Are you looking for a place to live?

It’s none of your business, isn’t it?

Well, I don’t want you to be homeless.

It’s already time for the fair?

See how unpleasant this is?

You should know whoever asks you to join the event isn’t your friend.

I promised the upperclassmen I’d find someone to help out.

But now that I know what kind of booth it is, I can’t even ask anyone.

That girl’s fake all over.

Being touched a little wouldn’t leave a dent.

The upperclassmen keep making Liu deal with crappy customers.

They said Liu’s entire body is fake so it’s fine.
