Twinkling Watermelon (반짝이는 워터멜론)

"Sorry. I shouldn't have let myself fall for you. I made a mistake."

"I have a dream and goals."

"It's my dream and my family's dream too."

"At this stage of my life, dating someone..."

"would feel like a waste of emotion and time, which is useless."

"Useless?" What?

That's what Eun Ho wanted me to tell you.

Tell me yourself.

I don't believe this guy.

I'll DM you later.

Sorry. Don't contact him until he gets into college...

Hey! - He asked me to tell you that.

You selfish jerk.

Shut it.

Four down. There's just one left now, right?

Hand over her number now.

No way. This one, I really can't.

"No way?" What do you mean?

You promised me you'd cut off contact with all of them.

Hurry up and hand it over.

It's that cellist girl, right?

Hand it over. Come on.

No, she's special to me.

This is such a critical time for you. Don't you know that?

Getting into college won't be easy...

even if you're focused solely on the training.

You need to start seriously thinking about your future.

You're doing this for your own future, not mine.

What?

I need to achieve my dream for you to free yourself from this burden.

Eun Ho.

Eun Gyeol, just live your life.

I'll figure out what to do with my own life.

From time to time, let yourself enjoy the moment.

Let yourself fall in love, like me.

Don't waste your youth because of me or the family...

because you can never get back your youth.

Let yourself twinkle while you can.

Do things that make your heart flutter.

It won't make your world come crashing down.

You've grown up to be a fine young man.

Do you want to come in for a moment? I have something to give you.

My gosh. Abstinence can be charming.

Your self-restraint is impressive.

I must be going crazy.

Ms. Choi gave me Mr. Viva's guitar.

I should thank her if anything. What was I doing, just now?

Come on. It's okay.

The embarrassment will keep you up at night for a month.

But after that, you'll forget it in no time.

Embarrassing memories are precious too, you see.

My gosh. It's okay.

Having a crush on someone is a valuable experience too,

like your first love.

And be honoured that I'm your crush.

Do you remember, Eun Ho? That day, you told me...

that life didn't have to be perfect for it to shine.

It's the little moments that make your life twinkle,

and happiness is...

what you experience when those moments come together.

But be honest with me.

Can I really let myself twinkle from time to time?

I bet you've never dated.

Can I let myself follow my heart from time to time?

You've never dated, right? I knew it!

Would my world really not come crashing down?

Look at you, you've never dated

You've never dated

Hey.

Well...

That portrait.

Is that me?

But why?

Don't tell me...

Hey, do you...

like me?

Hey, you know... - Hey.

You go first. - You go first.

Or shall I... - Shall I go first?

About earlier... - Let's pretend it never happened.

Yes, I get it.

This weather, the moist air, and this romantic ambience.

All these things...

provoked your dirty mind.

"Dirty mind?" What?

It's okay. I really understand.

Well, let's just pretend it never happened...

and keep some distance from each other.

Always stay at least 5m away from me, okay?

Why should I do that?

You know why.

You cheated to steal the ball from Yi Chan.

Like I said, I want to be fair to you both until the festival...

You're not entirely wrong,

but you're building up walls around you.

I'm a little offended.

Of course, I...

I can't say I'm not partially responsible.

Gosh, boys at age 18 are like beasts.

I admit that I let my guard down.

Then I'll knock 2m off.

Always stay at least 3m away from me, okay?

About what happened earlier... - Okay, fine.

Always stay at least 2m away from me. End of discussion.

Bye.

This is nuts. I must be losing my mind!

"About what happened earlier?" What were you going to say?

That you're sorry? That it was a mistake?

That it was part of your mission or something? If not that...

If not that,

what was it?

What happened earlier.

What's up?

What is it? Where are we going?

What do those signs mean?

It means, "Don't go. Stay with me."

Why do you ask? Did someone say that to you?

Then what about this?

"Thank you for saving me."

"And I'm sorry."

"I didn't know that you were the one who saved me."

It was Yi Chan, wasn't it?

Yi Chan said that. Am I right?

It's a green light.

I want to learn sign language.

So I can make friends.

You'll teach me, right?

Yes. I'll teach you.

I'll do my very best.

So it's been a few days. Are you enjoying working as a live-in tutor?

Yes, it's been good.

You remember the promise you made me, right?

Let me say it again. I'll have to see results in a month.

If not, there will be consequences.

Please don't worry. I always keep my promises.

I'll look forward to it, then.

You can go. - Yes, sir.

Do you have something else to say?

Sir, you have a business trip coming up.

Why don't you bring back a fax machine as a gift for your daughter?

I saved you, and you're now telling me what to do?

If you buy her a fax machine as a gift,

she can use it to communicate with the world.

It could also help you achieve the results you want more quickly.

I suppose you haven't learned what it means to overstep boundaries.

I just meant that it could maximize your gains, which is what you like.

All right, then.

Why should I accept your request?

I'm a businessman. I never take on deals that could result in losses.

When I give 1 thing, I always gain at least 2 things.

What could you offer if I were to accept your request?

What could you give me?

Her smile.

What?

I'll show you your daughter's smile.

Not a fake one.

A real smile. The kind you can only see when someone's truly happy.

What?

I'm leaving this here as I must stay at least 2m away from you.

I washed it for you while filling up gas...

and fixed a few things too.

Of course, he has to tell me he did these things.

Today's temperature, humidity level, ambience,

and the whole universe wish you a wonderful day.

Do you want to practice?

"I want to be your friend."

"I want to get to know you better."

Well done.

It's very nice to see the two of you on your way to school together.

Can you spare me a moment before your class?

Eun Gyeol.

Yes, ma'am.

Am I a joke to you?

Pardon me?

I clearly told you that you weren't allowed...

to use sign language in my house.

I'd like to know your reason, one that I can understand.

The family has its own education method.

I can confidently say that it is the best way to raise Chung Ah...

like a non-deaf person.

Are you sure that is the only reason?

What other reason could there be?

Perhaps, you're deliberately isolating Chung Ah...

and trying to make sure she can't communicate with Chairman Yoon...

to get something.

Jinsung Musical Instruments, for example.

You seem to think that you're holding on to a sturdy rope.

But you see...

How many days out of the year do you think the chairman comes home?

So when he's not around to see what's going on,

you've been abusing Chung Ah in places he can't see?

How dare you!

That statement is considered slander.

If I abused Chung Ah,

how come the chairman has never once heard about it?

There are many eyes and mouths in the household.

All our employees believe in my education philosophy and obey...

They keep their lips sealed because you pay them.

I have that much insight.

If you're thinking of suggesting the same thing to me,
