Twinkling Watermelon (반짝이는 워터멜론)

What if he doesn't show up again?

We haven't seen him for two weeks.

Today, he'll show up. I know it.

How can you be so sure? - He has a pattern, you see.

At a particular time of the year,

he says goodbye and disappears.

After that, he always returns.

And today's the day.

What is he, a werewolf?

Does he turn into a wolf at every full moon?

The national trial exam. - What?

You mean, he's still in high school?

Hey, it's been 30 minutes already. Let's just go.

Oh, look! - My gosh.

Look! - Oh, my.

He's here.

Finally! - We've been waiting for you.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

It's okay! - Don't worry!

We missed you.

Sadly, I think this will be my last performance.

No! - Whatever. You're just saying that.

You always say it'll be the last performance...

but always come back.

Thank you for all your support.

I'll remember all of you for a long time.

No!

He's an attention-seeker who does this...

to get a reaction out of people.

Those who try hard to look cool are never competent.

Let's not waste our time here. Let's go. Come on.

We've found a diamond in the mud.

Make sure you pick up the gifts another day.

Thank you for everything.

Hey, you. Masked man!

We're here to make you an offer you can't refuse.

The Coldplay of Hongdae's indie scene, SPINE9.

The band is looking for a new guitarist,

and we'll give you a chance to participate in the audition.

What do you say? Aren't you excited?

I bet you can't turn it down...

I'm sorry, but I must decline.

Hey, wait.

Come on, kid. Don't make such a hasty decision.

We're the Coldplay of Hongdae.

I must decline. - No.

We won't take no for an answer. You can pay your way out of it.

Take this.

The third track is the song we'll use in the audition.

Take a listen, and come up...

with a guitar riff and a sub vocal melody line.

If you pass the audition, you can join SPINE9.

The audition will begin at 6pm on Friday.

In the practice room at Club Spark, where all bands gather. Okay?

All of a sudden, I was reminded of the saying...

with the end-of-the-century vibe that made me cringe.

"Music is the only drug allowed by the government."

Will I manage to quit it this time?

Can I...

really quit music?

Can I?

I bet that jerk, Hyun Chul, left because he got a good offer.

They must've made an enticing offer.

So he got all excited...

and ditched us, using me as an excuse.

Don't be ridiculous. You're always like this.

Darn. Anyway,

if we want to get the team back in order and reclaim the prime slot,

we must hurry up and find a talented new member who's already popular.

I told you. That guy is no good.

Why do you think he always wears a mask?

He's not confident about the lower half of his face.

Clearly, you do not have a good eye.

You saw his eyes.

Even with the mask on, you can tell that he's handsome.

I'm sure he's handsome. I bet 50 dollars. Are you in?

Is the offer still on the table?

I have some conditions, though.

First, I can never take the mask off due to personal reasons.

Second, I'll be a high school senior next year,

so I must focus on my studies at exam time.

Third, I have a unique family situation,

so I must put school before music,

and my family will always be my top priority.

Despite that...

can I still join the band?

What did you just say?

You'll become what? - Choi Se Gyeong's boyfriend.

You're not serious right now, are you?

At first, I thought I was seeing things while daydreaming.

I was like, "Or, am I dead?"

"Did I just see an angel?"

I thought that for a moment.

But no. I was wrong.

She's real.

Such a beauty actually exists!

Hey, brother! I need her info.

You can help me, right?

You're like Sherlock Holmes.

You're better than the FBI when it comes to gathering Intel.

Right, I don't even need to look into it. Just give up.

Darn you! Why should I?

"Why?"

Do you want to hear the truth?

Choi Se Gyeong in 11th grade at Seowon Arts High School.

She plays the cello. - Choi Se Gyeong is here!

In front of her school, you always see a crowd...

of students from all-boys high schools in the area...

who want to see her and people...

from entertainment agencies who want to make her a superstar.

I can't get you out of my mind. You, my angel...

Don't you want to be like Ko So Young?

It's more competitive than getting into a good college.

Sorry, she doesn't have time for you.

She never even shows any interest in them.

She always keeps to herself.

She's disciplined and extremely talented.

Her schedule?

She's busier than most celebrities.

From school and her lessons and practice...

to recitals and various social events.

She has no time to spare.

And her family?

Gosh, she comes from a very good family.

You know what a prestigious family means, right?

I know. A family of good writers? - Wrong.

Do you want to get your front teeth knocked out?

Someone's not in the mood for jokes.

Fine, continue. - Her family is very wealthy.

Hey, why do you think an angel like her...

descended to the human world?

Even if she had to take off her wings...

to descend into this realm,

she could go ahead and open dozens of factories...

on the land her family owns to manufacture wings.

My dear daughter, are you ready for your recital today?

I picked out a few dresses for you.

Just for your reference, I like the pink one the best.

And most importantly,

she already has a boyfriend.

They've already met each other's families.

They're practically engaged.

But I want to marry her.

Goodness. I know you're smitten, but get a grip.

Hey, look. He's handsome.

And he's rich.

On top of that, he goes to med school and is in a band.

Do you seriously think you can beat a doctor-to-be?

Do you think they saw us?

I have no idea.

Anyway, give up already.

To Choi Se Gyeong, you're just a peasant.

You can't dare to...

Gosh, that idiot actually climbed over the wall.

It is you.

The part-timer at the ice cream shop.

How did you get in?

Well, you know. I got invited.

Is that so? Who invited you?

The one who organized this party?

Oh! Hello.

The chairman of Seowon Arts High School...

organized this party,

and I'm the chairman's daughter.

If I remember correctly, neither of us invited you.

Who are you?

Are you a thief? - What?

What do you take me for?

I invited him.

Se Gyeong, you invited him?

Why?

I didn't pay for my ice cream that day.

Follow me. I don't have my wallet on me right now.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I didn't think you'd remember meeting me that day.

How about we get on a first-name basis?

I'm in 11th grade too.

Don't waste your life away. You should use your time wisely.

What? - If you keep being clingy,

you'll be seen as a stalker.

Stalkers are ones who failed in life.

Take my sincere advice instead of the money for the ice cream.

I am not a stalker.

Oh, sorry.

You barely know me.

It takes time to become friends with...

You see, I'm wearing this dress...

to deliver a perfect performance in front of professors...

who may teach me later on.

How much time, effort, and money do you think that went into this?

Is this a quiz?

A day? Two days?

Think about it.

Do you think I've even had a moment to be distracted?

And it won't be any different going forward.

But you're human, not a machine.

You should also play and let loose...

You see, we live in different worlds.

Didn't you see the people at the party?

When you're busy playing,
