Twinkling Watermelon cast navigate their love lives in episode 12
Episode 12 of Twinkling Watermelon will continue from the events of the previous episode when Eun-Gyeol saves Yi-Chan from an accident. However, Eun-Gyeol breaks his promise to Se-Kyung after ditching her during the movie date to save Yi-Chan. As per tvN’s preview trailer, released soon after Episode 11, it is clear that Se-Kyung feels abandoned.
Considering Se-Kyung (Eun-Yu in the present) has memories of feeling abandoned, Eun-Gyeol’s actions only hurt her more. In spite of Eun-Gyeol’s desperate measures to explain, she ignores him wowing to never see him again. Given the looks of the trailer, it is highly possible that Eun-Gyeol might reveal his time travel secret to Se-Kyung in hopes of her choosing him at the music festival. If that happens, his parents, Yi-Chan and Cheong-Ah might get together.
Yi-Chan and the band members promote their performance at the music festival. They name their band, Watermelon Sugar, inviting fellow students to watch their performance. He sees Cheong-Ah and asks her the reason for her visit. She gifts him a guitar pick she made and engraved with her favorite line, “Viva La Vida,” which means “Long Live Life.”
In the trailer, Yi-Chan is seen proudly showcasing the guitar pick to Eun-Gyeol. Meanwhile, Cheong-Ah doesn’t attend the festival fearing that Se-Kyung might choose Yi-Chan to pair with at the music festival. The music festival is near, and Se-Kyung has to decide between choosing Yi-Chan and Eun-Gyeol. Viewers will have to stay tuned to see who she ends up picking.
Cheong-Ah has a hard time thinking that Se-Kyung might have chosen Yi-Chan, so she avoids going to the festival. Yi-Chan visits her to figure out why she didn’t attend the festival. In the trailer clip, he is seen reading a letter which says, “The festival is over. Don’t visit me again. We’re from different worlds after all,” presumably from Cheong-Ah.
He is also seen wearing a necklace with the guitar pick Cheong-Ah made as a pendant, indicating his growing feelings for her. To see what happens between the couples, don’t forget to tune in to Twinkling Watermelon Episode 12 at 8:50 p.m. KST on tvN and Viki.
