Twinkling Watermelon (반짝이는 워터멜론)

Hey, we're here.

I'm sorry, but could you make a lap around the house?

Sure. Let's do that.

I don't care who you are.

I don't care if you're a middle-aged woman.

I don't care if you turn out to be a zombie.

That's why we should...

stay together.

What do you say?

I'm hungry.

What? Then why don't we go somewhere and have something to eat?

I'm tired.

I want to rest.

Could you help me get home?

Hey, what next?

Sir. I'm so sorry. Could you make one last lap around the house?

That's enough.

Do you have a lot of money?

Sir, could you open up the trunk?

Sure. - Okay.

Here.

What's this?

I think I just saw something that didn't make any sense at all.

What's wrong?

Nothing. - Okay.

Thank you.

Hey.

Do you want to have ramyeon before you go?

What?

Can you start boiling the water for ramyeon?

Let me take care of the luggage first.

The kitchen is that way.

Shouldn't I say hello to your parents first?

They're not here.

Both of them? - Yes.

I flew back to Korea from the US alone.

Then you've been staying here on your own the whole time?

At this rate, you might be too shocked to talk.

Then does it mean it's just you and me in this house?

Right?

I'll put this away. - I'll boil the water.

Oh, no.

What's wrong?

What's that?

I think I just saw something that didn't make any sense again.

Nothing's wrong.

Okay. I'll carry this up for you.

Okay. Thank you so much. It's the 1st door on the 2nd floor.

Okay. - Okay.

Gosh, that scared me.

Hey, be careful! Gosh. Please be careful.

What did you put in the egg? Why did it catch fire like this?

Why are you so angry about that?

You're scarier than the fire.

You live alone. Yet, you can't even cook a simple dish.

What have you been eating all this time?

How could you start such a big fire over just one egg?

Come on. Don't be like that.

You should be more careful next time.

Did you get hurt?

It sounds so nice.

Did you know?

People suddenly crave pancakes on rainy days because...

the sound of the rain falling and the sizzling pancakes...

sound similar.

Yes. So I have heard.

My mother used to cook me pancakes often on rainy days.

Was it like that with your family too?

No. - What? Why not?

Having pancakes on rainy days is like a national law.

I was the only one in my family who could hear the rain falling.

It's ready.

Okay.

Gosh, it looks so good!

Thank you for the food.

Hey, this is so good. It's so crispy.

Don't tell me you were trying to go to the US to get some pancakes.

No way.

But why did you suddenly want to leave for the US?

Because I found out that my mother's first love was my dad.

Hey... - No.

Don't ask me. I won't tell you anything.

This is all you're getting from me today.

I'm going to eat all the outer parts.

Hey, can you slow down?

You might upset your stomach. - It's amazing. These are the best.

Come on. Tear a big piece for yourself.

I told you I wanted all the outer parts.

Hey, that's the tastiest part.

Come on. Let me have some too. I haven't had a meal today.

I'm hungry. Let me have some too. - Hey.

Come on.

Let me have some too. - Here.

You'll get indigestion. Slow down. - I won't give it to you.

I want some of that too. Come on, let me have some!

Give it to me.

No. Wait.

Are you a CODA?

How did you know that?

You're the only one in your family who can hear the rain falling.

That's the word used to describe people like you.

No. That's not what I meant. How did you know the term, "CODA?"

Did that term not exist in 1995 yet?

Oh, that?

When I was in the US, I learned that from my deaf friend.

I see.

Ask me.

Ask you what?

You don't have any questions? - Should I have questions?

That's odd.

When people find out that I'm a CODA,

they usually ask me a lot of questions.

At first, it starts off as curiosity.

Then it turns into compassion.

Afterward, it becomes pity which turns into kindness.

In the end, they worry and show concern.

That's just to name a few. I get all kinds of looks from them.

That's because people with questions...

want to hear that you're miserable.

That way, it will be proof that they are happy.

Gosh. What a way to kill my love for mankind.

That's how people are.

They want to offer sympathy,

instead of being on the receiving end of it.

Don't worry about them.

Let me give you an example.

Let's say you're super psyched about finding an interesting video.

But when you start to watch it, it's not what you wanted.

Then you would stop the video.

That's sort of what they're doing.

You should go home now.

Thank you for everything today.

Are you sure you can be alone here? You're not scared?

What? If I tell you I'm scared to be alone,

are you going to stay with me all night?

What? All night?

That's not what I meant.

Look at you.

You're already possessed by lust!

You're a lustful evil.

What?

Gosh.

What?

You said I was a lustful evil.

Are you sure?

Am I sure I'm a lustful evil?

Not that.

Are you sure you can help me find my way back?

What?

I see.

Yes.

It will be hard.

I know.

I'm serious. It won't be that simple.

I know that too.

You do? - Yes.

You weren't just referring to a mere way to go back to the US.

You're looking for a way to get to someone in the US.

I'll help you find that person.

Once I go back, I'll never be able to come back.

That's why, if possible,

I'll take my sweet time to help you.

I'll do my best to find a way,

but I will slow it down as much as possible.

That way,

I'll get to spend more time with you.

Yes!

I'll do my best to find a way,

but I will slow it down as much as possible.

That way, I'll get to spend more time with you.

What?

No way.

Hello. - Good evening.

Master? - Did you have a pleasant trip?

Gosh, you startled me. Wait.

Why are you asking me that in the past tense today?

You're indeed quick at noticing these things.

I think it's time to end the trip now.

My trip is going to end?

Then...

does it mean I'll go back to 2023?

Bingo.

Soon, there will come a day with two moons in the sky.

The door of time that connects the two worlds will open.

That will be the only day you'll be allowed to go back.

When will that be?

To make sure you don't get lost,

I will keep the light on at La Vida Music.

Bye then. - Wait.

When will there be two moons?

As for that...

Coming soon.

Hello? Wait. Master!

Soon, there will come a day with two moons in the sky.

The door of time that connects the two worlds will open.

That will be the only day you'll be allowed to go back.

Newspapers.

"My left hand is there solely for support."

Goal!

Darn it.
