Eun Gyeol grapples with guilt over his father’s hearing loss. A call from the Master of the instrument store Lavida Music (Jung Sang Hoon) informs him that the time travel is coming to an end. Sadly, he bids farewell to his father, Lee Chan, who is the same age as himself. During her time travel, Eun Yu unexpectedly encounters her mother. Her loving words, “You live your own life, Mom. You have every reason for that,” reveal the depth of her affection.
This scene made me cry!😭 EunYu was right that EunGyeol should trust YiChan to work it through. And he really did. Now it’s time for him to “twinkle” for himself and be amazing. 😭
I will miss this father and son duo!🥺#TwinklingWatermelon#TwinklingWatermelonEp16 pic.twitter.com/M2APsOdNwe
