Twinkling Watermelon (반짝이는 워터멜론)

A patient coming through. Please step aside.

Please step aside. Excuse us.

We have a patient. Please move.

Dad.

Mom.

Hello?

Hello, there.

So are you having a pleasant trip?

Come on. It was you?

You scared me!

You should have called me first if you were going to do this.

No, listen. I was... - Whatever.

I'm doing very well.

Don't ever call me again. Got it?

You must be having fun,

living someone else's life.

Hello?

Are you there? Can you hear me?

Anybody there?

What's this? Did she hang up on me?

Darn it.

That's right.

I'm living someone else's life.

My name is On Eun Yu.

You have probably guessed it.

I'm Choi Se Gyeong's daughter from the 21st century.

That's me.

That's my mom.

I know that we're very alike.

Apparently, I resembled her even more as I grew up.

I took after her so much that I was practically her clone.

Anyway...

Excellent. The girl is a genius.

That's how I became my mother's precious gem.

Was I happy?

Not in the slightest.

Bravo! - Bravo!

As you know, a gem must shine all the time.

The moment it loses its sparkle, its value will plummet.

I was loved only briefly...

when she needed to show off or put on a show.

I was mostly locked up in my jewelry box.

Hey.

If my dad hadn't taken me...

out of my mother's jewelry box from time to time,

I would have died already.

But...

Eun Yu...

is my daughter, so I'll raise her.

I'm her father.

If you want to raise her, you must stop drinking then.

I already filled it out.

I prayed to anyone who would listen.

"Please make them stop fighting because of me."

"Help me not regret that I was born." That's what I prayed.

Whose house is this?

This was my father's house.

But Grandpa lives in the US.

Not him.

He was your real grandpa.

Grandpa in the US isn't my grandpa?

No.

I have two fathers. Jealous, are you?

No. I only need one dad.

You know,

ever since I was a kid, I wanted my own family.

A family that wasn't complicated to explain.

A family I didn't have to worry about or be scared...

of being abandoned by. A real family like that.

You're my only family now.

Dad isn't your real family?

You'll stay by my side, right?

You won't abandon me or leave me, right?

I regretted it.

I shouldn't have made that promise to her that day.

Like the change of the seasons,

the relationship between my dad and my mother...

cycled through hot and cold.

They went through the cycle...

of living together and getting separated like an annual event.

In the end, the year I turned 18,

they got a divorce.

This is our home now. We'll live here, just the two of us.

Just focus on studying music.

You understand what I'm saying, right?

Did she gain weight? She looks like she gained weight.

Girls lose weight in college.

It's normal for girls to gain weight until they finish high school.

Ma'am, can you loosen up the waist a bit more?

It will be uncomfortable when I perform.

No. Leave it as it is.

She'll lose weight pretty soon.

Choi Se Gyeong?

It's me.

Yoon Sang A from Seowon Arts High School.

The daughter of Jinsung Musical Instruments' chairman.

I did hear that you were back in Korea.

So it was true.

No way. Is she your daughter?

Hello.

She's a carbon copy of you in high school.

It's nice to see you.

But what a pity. I have an appointment coming up soon.

I heard about your news.

You got divorced.

I was a bit shocked.

Darn it.

The timer on the time bomb started to tick away.

You and Ji Hwan...

were the last couple I expected to see getting a divorce.

Three. - I get it, though.

It was even more shocking when you got married.

I thought you would continue your career as a cellist.

Two. - You were notably impressive...

when you were in high school. You know?

You were talented, beautiful,

and popular too.

Boys from other high schools worshipped you like some deity.

They called you the Queen of Cello.

One.

I'm serious.

A boy formed a band just for me.

He said he would put on a show at the festival just for me.

Right. Talking about bands brings back this memory.

Did I tell you my first love was in a band?

You see, my first love...

was nothing like your father.

He was bright like sunshine, cheerful, and manly.

He seemed indifferent and cold from time to time,

but he was kind.

He was sometimes sensitive and meticulous.

But he had a positive attitude.

You should have married your first love.

I wouldn't have been born then.

What?

Why don't I finish Part Two of your story?

"If only I didn't marry your father..."

"If only you weren't born, I would have had..."

"a fantastic career as a cellist..."

"and explored the world."

"I wouldn't have lived as a boring woman..."

"who clung on to her husband and obsessed over her daughter."

Eun Yu. What I said...

It was the liquor talking?

You're never going to drink again?

Do you expect me to fall for that promise again?

Did you think I had a choice about being born?

I...

didn't get to choose to have you as my mother when I was born.

Come on.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm going to live with Dad.

I'm scared that...

I might turn into you if I keep living with you.

That's why I told you to focus only on music.

So you won't turn into me!

Stop giving me these excuses!

Don't use me.

Why must I be a tool for redeeming your failed life?

I can't talk to you when you're like this.

Talking was the last thing we ever did.

You were always busy telling me what was on your mind.

Whenever I talked, you treated me like some dog barking.

Is that why you put on an act that you lost your hearing?

Is that why you gave up that easily?

Just to rebel against me?

This is why I hate you.

It's so easy for you to spit out these hurtful words.

Sometimes, you act like a sociopath.

Dad left because he was sick of this side of you. You know?

How awful you are.

You're just like your dad.

You're right.

I always got along with Dad much better than with you.

That was the last day I spent with my mom,

and it was the beginning of a long trip.

Hello.

Who are you?

I'm sorry. But isn't this Dr. On's house?

Yes. But who...

I see. You're Dr. On's daughter.

Honey. - "Honey?"

Honey, come quick. Your daughter's here.

He's on the second floor, so he can't hear us.

Come in, sweetie.

Honey.

Darn it.

Dang, mama.

Where are you going? - Sorry.

Do you want to hang out with us? - Sorry.

Oh, shoot.

They should've married other people if they were going to do this.
