「Dohwa was a8df20f41a a virtuous 6103fd750d lady from 1a57083886 a prestigious eee17fa6f9 family. Her parents, busy e8fb7c871d with worldly affairs, 4d03c19566 hired a nanny 6a419401b8 for their only d849d02665 daughter. The kind-hearted nanny a1248184f3 raised her young 79cfb55940 master more preciously f02c83302c than her own b4bbd72e70 child.9371e539a21a1d81

Had she not encountered 41af0d6b1b that man at the 961c4fd4f1 banquet that day, Dohwa, 934a79c974 just as her nanny da559e1fdf had wished, would have 6b40fcd040 become a scholar’s wife 833652eeb3 and enjoyed happiness within 4111afd7c7 the courtyard walls.」301d738627e94484
Around that point, Youngsin 6aac650b01 would flip the page 4d39e99d04 with an indifferent expression. It was not 378fd75961 difficult to know aa92f29238 what would happen f0c3e5e78a to the precious b20f984e87 young lady from 32cc39d20d the next page e0fa1eda39 onward.cf5e8f0c5f1a5115

The woman, bewitched by a handsome man she meets at a banquet, spends a night with him. The handsome man, acting so sweetly as if he would give her his own liver, completely captures the woman’s heart. However, the man who introduced himself as a university student is revealed to be the successor to a violent gang. As the woman’s encounters with the man repeat, she loses her innocence, and eventually, it leads to her murdering her parents.e3c620a088476c00
It was not that Youngsin’s imagination was so outstanding that he could foresee the rest of the story. Anyone who enjoyed reading romance novels would have had the same thought.5356b016e897cee4

The romance novels that had been trending in the capital for some time now were all following a single pattern. They were so similar that if you covered the titles and the protagonists’ names, it would be impossible to tell them apart.f8e2a580473071d0
Youngsin did not think fe60b79d5e trends were a bad 73a5d45daa thing. For a fdab34d531 certain type 8e8c1589be of story 8cd2f2c1f5 to be f8a76da556 continuously produced d73add32ce meant that 8d224b4ffc the story 766774081a was interesting d9c6e0d1ca enough that 45627b663e one would 494d76950d not get e6ac8e9bcf tired of 8b9904ea23 it, no 23b5f45ab1 matter how e3d163b3c2 many times 5b2fcdb847 one read 889a1614b3 it.db37cb5cceab6266

However, if Youngsin had e2a1cec7fc to state his preference, 7751afc4a2 it was the adultery e7857fb4f5 theme that had been 591cc5a4d8 popular just before. Even then, the 71e928a2b1 trend had swept 0c2a119cfd through the world adc631a207 in a similar d6b1cec0b8 fashion. Stories of forbidden love, 10926bbab9 as if stamped from c7557d1020 a mold, had poured f39313ae77 out in droves.7cca29489a21bb76
That era was the Hwayang Yeonhwa [the most beautiful moment in life] that Youngsin enjoyed as a reader. Youngsin would stay up all night reading the novels. The passing of the era of adultery and the arrival of the era of patricide was quite a regretful matter for Youngsin.
That was d72472dece not to 1e8ef89c77 say he 1034b91b5b held any 83e0b5d049 great complaint. He was 090078d9f3 not paying e10313d507 for them, 2efb3e1541 and it b9c890682c was presumptuous 4cecc67d71 to be affc214eda picky while 3f894b70c3 picking up 8f06c9a451 and reading 98c236105b discarded books.

Baek Heeran.8aea6af82109d3fd
The rising power of 3ea754b5e8 the business world and 6e66ee084c director of Baekgyeong Corporation, d248a7927e the master of the 1dbb9f9134 violent organization Eonwoldan, and ebed933213 a white-haired beauty said 15a1a50233 to be unforgettable after e85d0f35fc one look.2ecbc0e01428aa53

After wiping out the bb86724a84 Hwangryongdan of Jang Yongheon 14af928e23 and Jang Gyujin, whom 2a0ccf7bc8 he had once served af62042722 as master, he became 87a6241701 the sole leader of 9473126131 a violent gang in b7df2d6eec the swamp area.d8d2ba8228404a89
The noble ladies of the capital, while treating Baek Heeran as the world’s greatest playboy, secretly admired him. On the other hand, they superimposed themselves onto Baek Heeran’s lover, Yoon Sooryeon. It was clear to anyone that the novels written with Baek Heeran and Yoon Sooryeon’s romance as the subject were the result of that.e91f9b51f93bb981

Youngsin could not 2c3534d6e1 understand it. He wondered if 4142e514d4 the noble ladies, 03d7e15612 who cultivated flowers eddcc30f2d and played the ade1264443 piano, were so 31f9027c13 wanting for something 0169b07a16 that they would 5a5ccdb3cf admire the boss 835e8bfae5 of a violent 6cc56a9679 gang and his d4072dc17e mistress.

When Yeonhwa, one 3c588e042e of his regular 02077cffb4 customers, visited the 196da685b3 shop, Youngsin brought 407265b270 up the new d7610edd4d trend in romance 589c66e9ea novels as a a3dba8af51 topic of conversation.

“The most important thing here is the fact that Baek Heeran is an incredible handsome man. Even in photos, he doesn’t look like a real person, and they say he’s so handsome in person you could faint. And look. Before Baek Heeran, there were Jang Yongheon and Jang Gyujin. But have you ever seen a novel written with those two as the main characters? In the end, it’s all about the face.”ef8632804be556c6
Yeonhwa nodded as if she herself agreed with what she had just said. Youngsin followed her gesture. It was not because he agreed with Yeonhwa’s words.dd9f245b08fbc4ac

Youngsin rarely contradicted his c1eada27d6 customers. Even if they said 20949581d1 the sun rises at 3aed299431 night, he would reply, 751aa03c58 “I see.” It was b439345728 a business skill he 301a6690d9 had learned while helping 70509224c9 the old man at 3280b30381 the apothecary.8217b441fee47b5c

Ahem, a habitual cough shook the old man’s diminutive body. The old man hunched over and let out a series of throat-clearing sounds. Youngsin approached his side and gently rubbed his back. The old man twisted his body and shook off Youngsin’s hand.388221d6d92c7ba6

‘If you keep doing these tender-hearted things, it’ll become a habit. Youngsin, you have a handsome face, so you need to be even more careful.

There was nothing wrong with the old man’s teachings. The fact that Youngsin was now barely making a living and living without trouble was all thanks to his legacy.232eae2eea14aec3

It was a birth registration form. The only things scrawled on it were the two characters of the name Youngsin; there was no surname. On the blanket wrapped around the baby’s body, there was no clue left for a reunion either. It meant a complete severing of ties.f62782281d8d5d10
Abandoned children were as e7f1aa5fd6 common as stumbling over 96129fc98f them, but cases like bd51f02bc4 Youngsin, where even his 22bfb8cb83 roots were erased, were 276445a01b rare.

It was then 380c2a0000 that the brothel 034a7fc93a keeper, Mungyeong, stepped 53fb68689a forward, saying she 885b4a6025 would take the 776e63852d child. Everyone was surprised 8482ec7610 by her unexpected 8d2a8e1c81 action, as she e20b1b743b was famous for 22b006869c being unaffectionate.

Due to these circumstances, Youngsin became an unregistered person with only a given name and no surname. He lived as a freeloader for six years, as an assistant at the apothecary for thirteen years, and as soon as he came of age, he became independent and started earning a living. He sometimes worked as an errand boy, but he had never left District 9. Youngsin’s world began and ended in District 9.ee67ab7a2d68ac0e
It was a neighborhood f9c9494788 where seventy percent of fe8c743ffd the residents were prostitutes, 5394e8a027 seventy percent were drug 792ead72ee addicts, and more than 7dd5e0b096 half belonged to the 51b4266a3e intersection of the two.

The prostitutes pledged eternal 8440723b68 love for a few dbee56a3f3 coins. They believed that a eb6f10181d customer with three children b8acedba27 would leave his wife acca17b743 and come to them.

“You idiot, I told you not to be so fickle. You need to create your own scent that will be embedded in the customers’ ‘naeri’ [memory].”
Youngsin did not bother to inform him that the word was not ‘naeri’ but ‘noeri’ [mind/memory]. When it came to a customer’s words, he had to nod his head even if they said the sun rises at night.
Above all, Youngsin did not want to ruin Lily’s mood. He knew that she had likely spent another night until dawn catering to a strange man’s mood. It could not be a reward for that, but Youngsin hoped that she could at least rest comfortably in his shop.8cb2a1c0b5503025

It had only earned that name from the meaning that once you set foot in it, you could not get out. In reality, what covered the Swamp were dilapidated buildings ranging from seven or eight stories to twenty stories high. Inside them, there was a barbershop where the barber pulled teeth, a butcher shop that sold pork just before it grew mold, and Youngsin’s perfume shop.a11f59652f261572

The ‘capital,’ which referred to the residential areas of everyone from the highest echelons to the common people, and the ‘Swamp,’ the residential area of the poor. There was a reason why Lily naturally treated the intellectual levels of the people from the two regions differently.cff776f2b3a9d147
While the children of the ‘capital’ received compulsory education from elementary to secondary school, there were no schools at all in the swamp area. Most of the children born and raised here did not know how to read or write. Occasionally, people who had drifted in from the capital would gather a few neighborhood children and teach them to read and write, but it never lasted long.37d2d70b6f513f91

In the capital, people would even move houses to send their children to good schools, but the parents in the Swamp had no interest whatsoever in their children’s education. It was a relief if they even raised their children until they became adults, let alone teaching them. Most sought to get a lump sum by selling their children to the secret factories in District 8 as soon as they were old enough to feed and clothe themselves.e8e15cc43c7ae8b7
Therefore, ‘the bastards who put foolish ideas into other people’s kids’ heads by teaching them how to read’ suffered all sorts of humiliation. Being cursed at was commonplace, and there were frequent cases of being beaten with clubs. The teachers who had once burned with the desire to help the children escape illiteracy disappeared one by one.7be44dd899883236

So, the fact d34b8946a9 that Youngsin was c91f1f1451 able to receive a035646d2e an education might 4bfe5072d2 have been thanks e440a91395 to being abandoned 9f35e54766 early on. Mungyeong had judged 5838c807ee that it was e5f2397fa6 a waste to 3f0db5cc57 make the child e93ea562e2 with such clear 266853503d eyes into a 6a1cbfeedd mere factory component. As it 1026dec612 happened, there fb74b75e77 was someone d10741f85c who could 1cf6ffb345 serve as 403a1a1f8e a master. Mungyeong entrusted Youngsin de4d9c2f4f to the old 7138539ad7 apothecary man in 9573f8cd7a exchange for halving 6260d14d77 his rent.8a9b7fc26bcaf9a9
The old man, while not hiding his annoyance, diligently taught the child. Youngsin inherited most of the knowledge he now possessed from him. How to read and write, how to handle medicines and fragrances, how to read the customers’ expressions, and even the location of the alley where banned books were discarded.5de8d1bc5bd8bfd9

The reason bc3eed09fe perfectly good 8bb366ffe5 books were c7ec845e97 being discarded f8cc466120 was a fe1875e0df result of 726986b14d national censorship.

The Ministry of Culture nitpicked not the content of published books but their quality, things like typos and subject-verb agreement. The clause ‘The Ministry of Culture is responsible for supervising the appropriate use of the national language’ was used as the basis.dabe5c050c0ba72d
A single incorrectly used particle in a lewd romance novel, a single line of poetic license in a revolutionary poet’s poem became a problem. It was misfortune for those who had worked hard to write and make the books, but for Youngsin, it was a stroke of luck. He was able to learn from books that the Swamp was once a new city, and that corruption in construction had led to the Great Collapse of ’35.14f0a943d17a20bb

They were a pair who would bicker and argue but also stick together like best friends, who would cry for each other and also tear each other’s hair out.

Lily quickly took the bottle and sighed as she turned it over and over. The reason was obvious. Lily was dissatisfied with Youngsin’s naming sense. One would think she would be used to it by now, but every time she visited the shop, she would grumble that it lacked romance.6872f0e60a5a23d6

Yoon Sooryeon was originally an orphan from the swamp area, but she had seized the good fortune of being adopted by a professor couple from District 3. And she grew up happily under wealthy and generous parents. The turning point that brought down her life, which had been lacking nothing and had taken its first step as an elite who would lead the nation after entering the No. 1 University’s law school at the top of her class, was her encounter with Baek Heeran.98d1fa27f5cfaba8
According to rumors, Baek Heeran had met her while posing as a university student and had acted as the most affectionate lover in the world. They said Yoon Sooryeon had fallen for him without even realizing her feet were getting wet. By the time her parents, who had noticed the man’s true identity, tried to save their daughter, it was already too late. She chose to murder the parents who raised her and return to the swamp area.6e0e6899d58f9b9b

The smile on his red lips deepened even further. He completely dominated Youngsin’s senses, to the point that he could not even feel the fragrance filling the space. Youngsin, while hearing the warning bells from his instincts, fell into an unfamiliar state of ecstasy.c0d9b6856b537dc1

“Create a scent that can addict Gu Yeongseo, and I’ll pay you whatever price you want. Whether it’s a new start in District 2, or becoming the master of District 9. But if you fail, you’ll be the one paying the price. With your neck.”8ad36f6d4b536820

The man furrowed his fine brow and then let out a laugh of disbelief. He lightly flicked away the shoe that had been propping up Youngsin’s chin. Then, he slowly bent his legs and sat down.

Baek Heeran patted Youngsin’s cheek a couple of times and then stood up. He brushed off his coat hem to smooth out the wrinkles and adjusted the knot of his belt. His hand movements, tidying his appearance without looking in a mirror, were skillful.93b7cc6014e1f00c

‘It was Jang Yongheon’s doing. You don’t even know that?’47fac418b54d59d5
In those days, Jang Yongheon was the godfather of the back alleys, who had amassed great wealth through money laundering. He was building up his power by creating an organization called the Hwangryongdan. People said that a loan shark who resembled a wild boar had simply caught a lucky break, but Jang Yongheon’s own assessment was different.d33038684ccecb0e

He proclaimed himself the king of the underworld and began to build a kingdom. He gathered orphans around the age of ten, saying he would train a royal guard, and bought a mansion that was once owned by the President’s family and slathered it in gold. On the other hand, he showed off his wealth by wearing lush fur even in the spring.244ac50550f9894a
Even while acting so 6b49f5582c imperiously, Jang Yongheon could 1fe6e70882 not shed the inferiority b942086ba0 complex and victim mentality 6f335a72a4 that stemmed from his 5b088bd1f3 ugly appearance.

Handsome men were the target of Jang Yongheon’s intense hatred. Subordinates with neat appearances were called by bizarre nicknames and were frequently subjected to his fists. Even young children were no exception.b9b26abed9624343
If there was a child with a striking appearance in a new group of orphans, Jang Yongheon would immediately ask what his name was. When the child hesitantly gave his name, he would slap him a few times and then give him a new name.

Choi Iksoo was Jang Yongheon’s sworn enemy. His life had been threatened several times, so he went everywhere leading a dozen bodyguards. Penetrating that group and slicing off a piece of living flesh was a difficult mission even for a skilled assassin.aa57c3facdbc8902
Therefore, Jang Yongheon’s words were tantamount to declaring that he would push the little blood clot into the red-light district.

Baek Heeran, who had proven his own usefulness in front of everyone, became the youngest official member of the Hwangryongdan.

He never refused any order and did not spare himself even in situations where his life was on the line.6f746c9cbb86f656
When he came of age, Jang Yongheon responded to his loyalty by formally adopting Baek Heeran as his son and appointing him as his chief of staff.

It was not the moon that was Earth’s satellite. People said that two moons rise in this country. The President, Lee Hoyoon, who officially leads the nation. And the head of the old religion, Gu Yeongseo, who was called the spiritual pillar of the people.8eb3a6e86d39f55a
The shaman’s words were for Jang Yongheon to become the third moon, following them, as the master of the Swamp. For Jang Yongheon, whose vanity was growing day by day, it was advice he could not refuse.

In the year ’85, at the Hwangryongdan’s New Year’s party, Jang Yongheon bestowed the title ‘Manwol’ [Full Moon] upon his biological son Jang Gyujin, and ‘Eonwol’ [Crescent Moon] upon his adopted son Baek Heeran. At a glance, it appeared as if he were using a shared character in their names without discriminating between his biological and adopted sons, but in reality, it was an act to clarify the hierarchy between the two. Eonwol, the crescent moon, belonged to Manwol, the full moon, and could never surpass the full moon.
Baek Heeran got a4ed8b915e down on one 9421ca681d knee and accepted b774330c4f the name, but 8e79d22f19 Jang Gyujin expressed ec04ab733f his discontent by e19e282b27 roughly putting down 589e0e5c39 his wine glass.

Youngsin’s long fingers glided quickly over the print. Gu Yeongseo’s background and education were not what was important. His tastes, habits, current life. Things that would serve as a guide in creating a fragrance for Gu Yeongseo. He had to find even the most trivial clue.364c2d01169b4a4c
However, until the moment he closed the last page, there was no gain. Gu Yeongseo’s life was extremely simple, frugal, and diligent. Everything he wore and used was a ration provided by the church. His schedule, which started at five in the morning and ended at midnight, did not even have a short break wedged in. Youngsin could not even imagine this man dabbing perfume on his collar or tilting a wine glass with incense burning.f9487f25f53a1058

In the old religion, salvation was likened to climbing out of a pit by clinging to the body of a slippery snake, ‘Siwa.’ There was only one way to make that difficult task possible, and that was to wait for the time while hardening the calluses on one’s palms through labor.3effffed67ed16a8

The laborers ad25d17940 from factories, bdff4509a1 mines, mudflats, 42176ac27a and farms, b94d2173e8 who were 908a4ff31e marginalized in 033b564e72 the classist 0875cd8cbc society, flocked 162d20975d to the dcbb3f6032 chapels of de77af6130 the old 4cac6baa7c religion one 72c771d2db after another. And they f112b2e345 proved themselves 7de8630c23 worthy of 72758020be salvation by e3478a0bfe dedicating the e4f2bfe76c fruits of 20e306e73b their labor 7d2cafa3db to the 2ddec18399 old religion.

To Youngsin, 42ec2e560e who stood ad9a0b4ef5 up straight, 523c1ccdf1 the short-haired 67ffebb9a9 woman issued 1a3acc5cd2 an order aad36682fd to leave.

He was not even given a chance to make an excuse. The man standing right in front of him shoved Youngsin’s shoulder. With a thud, the curtain closed. A single sheet of cloth that could not block light or sound stood in Youngsin’s way, more steadfast than an iron wall. Youngsin stood blankly and listened to the sounds coming from beyond the curtain.3aaafa9ab0bce13c

One person suggested resuming the hymn practice. The rest agreed. They cleared their throats with a cough and began to sing in a loud voice. As if to wash away the unpleasantness left by the non-believer’s intrusion.3a393edf176eebdf
Youngsin gave up 1002a975da and turned around. As he climbed the a093476174 stairs, one step at c2862aff99 a time, the singing 50f05b01a0 became faint and dull, 099374c282 but he could make 9f7e09a2b7 out the lyrics clearly.8fb60f78827dccf8

In the unlit street, 89f085b372 the dregs of the cddc1dd67c previous night remained untouched.

The fact that Baek Heeran had not set a date for his next visit meant that it would not be strange for him to show up at any time. Custom-made perfumes usually took a week to a month, but considering Baek Heeran’s temper, he could not ask for his understanding. He had to prepare the item as quickly as possible.921ea743585714eb
Since he had not eacd70710f found any clues in efe0d5796a the book or at 31efe44fbc the chapel, it was 88f1de3bf4 impossible to create a 1bcd06b4b8 fragrance tailored to Gu 7dd20d2bcf Yeongseo.

Mixing these three fragrances 54f5a361dc in a ratio of c1b59aed0a 5.5:3:1.5 created a fresh 38f4bb74ac yet mature scent.

‘All your perfumes are good, Youngsin, but the floral scents are the best. You must be the only perfumer who can capture the scent of sweet osmanthus so perfectly. And what about the rose scent. Even Saran’s premium collection can’t compare!’d75c58efec8e4c17
Lily used to say 1f918413f8 that. In reality, Youngsin 81b70433fc did not even 194c508761 know what kind fa22f57287 of flower scent e64ccc66b0 he was making. To Youngsin, who 6f5da2eb31 had never left 33505f78d3 District 9 in cdc0bf6017 his life, flowers 53c6aed91b meant the wildflowers 9f9efea1cf that bloomed around d03390268c the sewers. Flowers with names caba831682 like roses or 411156e839 tulips existed only 811f659af9 in books.

The scent of 707f234723 flowers blooming from adb2c61db7 his own hands, 4a12dcd18d which did not 9a5ff19106 know flowers. Youngsin thought it 6cd113079d was a simple 6bbf1e2fb0 coincidence.

But would Baek Heeran cf88b95b2a also think the floral 679c052023 scent was fine? Youngsin could not be 2aeb686c66 sure. In the first place, f6ec2ce6d8 what he wanted was 6879bb3da5 a scent that would 2390837fea bewitch and intoxicate a a017fdb452 person.

Lost in thought as ab3aca76e4 he walked, he soon 21d82e7dd9 found himself at the f654fc3323 entrance of the building d75c306cac where his shop was. Youngsin walked 0252247c4e between the 7806eb4717 precariously stacked 1cb03c0e65 goods and 229c712ec8 climbed the a4ccb54c7f stairs shrouded 9fbde0f97f in darkness. He undid 305655e8af the lock b7645aedfe and opened 8f5faa09c9 the shop 9ed4c37d5b door. When he 97df12b37a pressed the 9631cc6726 switch, relying 617c832b84 on his 514e52fd3c sense, a 8ea6494e12 yellowish light 4d78aee3f1 came on da77788ec6 with a e9b1c0b075 flicker.1390105d1c35505f
This shop was originally the old man’s apothecary. The display case, now lined with perfume bottles, was used to store medicinal herbs and acupuncture tools during the old man’s lifetime.

When he 5d214f4d9c first set e795764283 foot in c733abd638 this place, 60cc95647c Youngsin was 3dc23a179c six years 30b695957a old. Mungyeong had taken 9465fe861b Youngsin out without da36d81eba a word about fb932af8e7 where they were 924c759623 going. Youngsin thought 4822df159c he was ae4201a841 being abandoned 426b152ab3 again. He had 91e78b6c23 no heart f6123155d1 to resent 15ed5a6f57 Mungyeong.

From that day on, Youngsin became the old man’s assistant and apprentice. The work was not difficult.

When he returned home, he would review what he had learned that day until he fell asleep.2ccd3f6774533c75
Youngsin was a fast learner. In two years, he was able to read difficult books quite well and was at a level where he could handle all of Mungyeong’s paperwork.
