Hello?

Hello,

Where are you?

I'm cooking dinner.

I'm at Tainan.

You're here?

That was fast.

Got off work early.

Is sister home yet?

Not yet.

Ruo-Chun is still at Hsin-Chu,

she says A-Chung needs to work overtime

so will be home late.

Do I need to go pick you up?

Nah.

I'm heading to Daitian Temple to see A-Jheng in a minute.

Will he be coming with you tonight?

Who?

A-Jheng.

Hsu Yo-Jheng.

Of couse not.

Come on!

You even got married without telling mom!

Shut up!

You're so loud. You want mom to find out?

I will be home in a bit.

Bye.

So rude.

(Komorebi)

Don't cram the spells together.

Leave some space.

Take your time.

Focus, will you?

They all look the same anyway.

What's the difference?

You didn't activate your Qi when you draw,

and no thinking.

The spell won't work.

It has no spirit.

Then can you tell which one was from me?

Unbelievable.

If you don't say, no one is going to find out.

Fine.

Hurry up.

It's you who'll be taking over from Master HONG anyway.

Hey,

I'm going to see my friends.

Lend me your ride.

Hey,

Don't be too long!

What a brat.

How can I not tell.

It's so obvious.

Master!

LIN Jhe-Ming!

We're in a temple!

It's fun!

You don't get tired of it after seven years, do you!

I thought you weren't coming.

Got off work early.

I thought I'd come here first.

Okay.

Go downstairs.

I still have stuff to do.

Oh, ok.

You're always fooling around.

Here you go.

My name is on your ID now.

Have you told your mom yet?

Of course not.

What about you?

I told her the day we registered

and I dreamed about her telling me she was happy

that I finally told her.

Even though I couldn't tell her when she was alive

but this kind of counted, I guess.

My dad... never mind.

But at least you don't have to be like me,

having a regret of...

This is for you.

Okay, okay.

Now even God knows about us.

What if people see us?

- LIN Jhe-Ming! - Master HONG!

Remember to give it to your mom.

A-Ming!

What are you doing here?

- Good day, Auntie - Hey, mom.

I'm here to see A-Jheng!

Auntie,

Come and have some tea, Auntie.

Auntie,

please have some tea.

Thanks.

It's a little hot.

Are you here to see my dad?

Yes.

It's been a while since we talked.

So I thought I would stop by.

He is not here?

He's out helping people with Feng-Shui.

Sorry.

Not at all.

Auntie, is today your birthday?

How do you know?

Do you want to come to our house for dinner tonight?

I'll never forget how you and Jhe-Ming used to run around the house.

You had so much fun as kids...

I really want to go,

but then there will be no one here at the temple,

plus A-Shun is always out.

Perhaps another day.

Sure!

Happy birthday, Auntie!

Thank you.

Mom,

Ruo-Jhen said Ruo-Chun is on freeway already.

She told us to go home first.

Ok.

We better get going.

Ok.

Come visit us any time.

Sure.

Take care, Auntie.

Ok.

What are you doing?

Nothing!

Fixed.

Ruo-Chun is home already?

Mom, you go sit down,

it's for me.

You ordered takeout?

Yeah.

It isn't enough?

Didn't you say you want some meat soup?

This lady doesn't konw how to cook that.

It's easier to just order it.

The lady?

I'm the lady in this house.

Ok!

Please have a seat, my lady.

And watch some TV.

LIN Jhe-Ming,

come downstairs and help me!

Mom,

why did you put these together?

Both pairs were missing a sock,

so why not put them together?

But...

they're both for the left foot!

What's the difference,

as long as they do their job?

It's not the same!

LIN Jhe-Ming, didn't you hear me?

- Coming! - Hurry up!

How does this work?

You do this.

It's so tight!

Leave it.

Go get the door.

Okay.

Hold it for me.

Two minutes. Ok.

Coming!

Hey, Jhe-Ming!

Mom!

Hey, mom!

Welcome home!

Was the traffic bad?

A little bit.

This is for you, mom.

I heard it's very good.

I'll take these.

Thanks.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Hold on,

The bathroom...

It's...

What?

Is it broken?

Welcome home!

Perfect timing.

I just finished cooking.

Cooking?

Didn't you just...

- Mom! - Let me go to the bathroom.

Come,

Let's eat!

To Mrs. HUANG,

Happy 18th birthday!

Happy birthday!

Hey,

I'm already in my 50s.

Stop flattering me.

But hearing the number 18

still makes me happy!

I'm so happy.

Ruo-Jhen,

Did you cook all this?

Of course.

Are you doubting me?

Not at all,

Looks delicious.

Your ex-husband is really missing out.

You have such a big mouth!

He had it for a month,

it's good enough.

By the way, Jhe-Ming,

Your YouTube channel is getting on well!

You watch our videos?

The students in our school all watch it.

What YouTube?

I've shown you before, remember?

The videos that my company makes.

The street interviews.

Oh, yes, yes.

There is this one episode with this boy,

his family found out that he was gay,

and he got exorcised at a temple,

sprinkled with all that charm paper.

Was that real?

Doesn't your friend work at a temple?

Did you ask him

about performing exorcism which can turn a gay back to straight?

Well...

How about some tea?

Sure.

Ruo-Chun, no iced tea for you, ok?

It's not good for you.

Mom,

It doesn't matter.

Of course it does.

If Ruo-Chun wants a baby,

she must take care of her body.

Unlike you,

Of course it doesn't matter to you.

What's wrong with not wanting a baby?

Who says you gotta be a mother?

It's fine.

I'll have something warm.

I'll go get it for you.

Thanks.

Mom,

A-Jheng wanted to give this to you.

How nice of him!

How come he didn't give it to me earlier?

He's a little shy.

Who?

Girlfriend?

He's a boy.

That's nice, too.

Even men can get married these days.

HUANG Chung-Ming!

It's not like that!

My boy is so handsome that

he must have lots of girlfriends.

He just doesn't want to tell me.

I remember when you were in college,

you had a girlfriend

named Yi-Ting.

How come you still remember her?

How could I forget?

But

I still don't understand why she ended up with your roommate,

My son is so much better.

She is missing out.

It's not like that!

Ha,

you are blushing!

Silly!

Tell you in a minute.

So your roommate got to her?

No!

So spicy!

They used to stay in the room all the time...

Ah!

They were playing games!

What kind of games?

How would I know?

- You're talking a lot tonight, huh? - It's not like I stood by the door.

I've always been like this.

A small celebration at your studio would do.

It's not an official wedding.

I haven't told her yet.

Ok, that's all.

Bye.

What?

Having Regrets?

No.

I'm not you, ok?

I'm waiting!

I didn't expect mom would still remember Yi-Ting.

I know,

It's been forever.

She was just meant to be a smokescreen.

That's the last update she got.

Then you escaped to Taipei.

True that.

By the way,

Next month?

Yes.

Just a small one

at A-Jheng's studio.

Are you coming?

Of course.

Did you tell mom?

I wanted to,

But,

do you think she can take it well?

Whatever,

It's your decision.

Do I look like a marriage counselor?

Right.

I already made the appointment for you,

why can't you just go and get checked?

I already told you the problem is not me.

How do you know?

Are you a doctor?

How can you tell?

What's the rush?

Why can we just take it slow?

Enough.

Stop it.

It's been half a year.

I'm the one who goes to the hospital all the time,

I don't think it's too much to ask him to go and get checked, ok?

It's fine.

No one is forcing anyone to have a baby.

But I want to have one!

Plus, if not me, than who will?

Your brother's wife can!

His wife?

I have class tomorrow morning.

Gotta go.

Remember to take those supplements, mom.

You're not staying the night?

I changed new bed sheets for you.

No,

I gotta go.

You haven't finished the tea!

Can we go now?

We're off then, mother.

A-Chung,

hold on a sec.

Here,

Let Ruo-Chun take these supplements.

And do not give her too much pressure.

As to having a baby... just go with the flow,

Give her some creidit.

Alright, mom, I know.

I'm off.

Bye.

Bye.

Son,

Is there something you want to tell me?

Not really,

Why you ask?

You have been giving each other looks

all day long.

Did you get married?

Of course not.

Who could I have married?

Then why do you have a ring?

Um...

It's just...

It looks nice, that's all.

And...

This was the only one that fit.

I didn't get married.

Don't you dare to go register

without letting me know about it.

Don't do what I did with your dad,

We had no wedding,

no ceremony,

Not even pictures.

Like it never even happend.

Eventually,

your dad forgot that he was married,

and ran off with someone else.

I would not do that.

Anyways,

Getting married is a big deal,

you must let me know,

ok?

Ok, I got it.

Hey,

Ruo-Chun left her school stuff here!

I'll give it to her.

They shouldn't have gone too far.

It's raining outside,

Remember to take an umbrella.

Ok.

Be careful.

Ok.

Mom,

let's have some fruit.

Thank you,

I will be doomed if I don't have this tomorrow.

What?

Why don't you go home?

Um...

Do you think

I'm the one causing you pressure?

Why?

Because...

Cause I can't have children.

You can get a surrogate mother.

It's not an excuse.

Surrogate mothers cost a fortune.

Or,

do you think we can go and...

I'm just kidding.

I'm the one who wants a baby.

It has nothing to do with you.

Just look at …

how mom and dad ended up.

Of course she is worried about you.

If possible,

you should let her know that you are not alone

and that you've found happiness.

Nothing else matters.

Okay.

LIN Jhe-Ming.

A-Jheng.

Hey, Ruo-Chun.

Why are you here?

My dad asked me to get some fruits for your mom.

I'm gonna go now.

Hey, wait a sec.

I think you guys should give it a try today,

she seems to be in a good mood.

LIN Jhe-Ming,

you didn't take it off?

How come you didn't say anything when you saw it?

I thought you have been in Taipei long enough to feel ok about it.

Anyways,

I'm gonna go,

I have my own problems to deal with.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

Bye.

What now?

How am I supposed to know?

Lets give these to my mom first.

I can't believe it!

How can you forget to take the ring off?

Don't worry,

I got you,

ok?

Have you thought about how you gonna say it?

Where do you put the umbrella?

Here.

How come you are here?

Hey, big sis.

Master HONG wants him to give these fruits to mom.

I see.

Where is mom?

She's using her iPad in the room.

I'm going in.

Hey!

What?

Why so loud?

Nothing,

I'm here for you.

Right here if you need me.

Ok.

Mom's high blood pressure meds are on the bedside table...

Shut up.

Mom,

hey,

Hey, Auntie.

A-Jheng,

how come you are here?

My dad asked me to give you some fruits,

it's downstairs.

That's just too nice of you!

Have you eaten?

I have.

Mom,

What are you hiding in your room for?

Just going through some old pictures.

I thought I'd keep them in this.

For the sake of convenience.

I see.

Let us help you!

Oh, sure.

Come here.

Here,

and this one, too.

Ok.

A-Jheng,

do you remember this?

It's me and Jhe-Ming!

Yes.

It was A-Ming's birthday,

I bought these point-and-shoot cameras.

One for you, and the other one for A-Ming.

When A-Ming got it,

look!

All he did was take pictures of you.

What a memory!

A-Ming was always smiling back then.

Now...

he rarely does.

Auntie,

There is a postcard!

Oh my god, I forgot it's here.

This...

This was my boyfriend back in college.

Cross cultural relationship!

It's all in Japanese!

What does this mean?

"Komorebi."

"Komorebi."

Japanese describe it as a kind of feeling,

like when you are sitting under the tree,

not too hot

with sunshine coming through,

that kind of warm breeze.

Me and this boy

were kind of like that.

We were comfortable with each other,

not too hot. Just warm.

Then what happened?

Then he went back to Japan

Then I met A-Ming's dad,

and got married after that.

I never went to Japan to visit him,

All is left is this postcard…

Did you regret it?

There's nothing to regret about,

If I did,

then you wouldn't be born.

Mom,

let me ask you,

If I told you,

I got married.

Would you

be

Less worried about me?

Of course!

You really got married?

Not yet...

But,

if I did,

I will tell you for sure.

No need to rush,

you need to like the person first.

Ok.

Hey,

What if

it was me and

A-Jheng?

I guess Master A-Hong would be really mad...

He would...

Then let's elope to Japan

and find your ex-boyfriend!

Good idea!

When you guys find him,

please tell him that

mom's single!

Come,

Let me take a picture of you two.

Come!

A-Jheng,

This was from your elementary school

I never had it developed.

It still has film in it.

Let me take a picture of you two.

Auntie,

Let's take a selfie!

Can we do that?

Of course!

Yes! Mom,

he used to be a photographer.

Ok, ready?

Look here.

Wait,

How should we pose?

How about a finger heart?

Finger heart?

Ready?

1, 2, 3!

Let me take one of you two!

1,

2,

3!

Ok!

I'll go have this developed.

No rush. It's been so long anyway.

Let's wait till we finish the film.

Don't you want to see if you like it or not?

I'm happy if you're happy.

So,

I did take a picture of that Japanese guy,

and he didn't know about it.

Really?

Help me look for it, will you?
