Eun Gyeol realises that something might happen during the rehearsal and tries his best to dissuade Yi Chan from attending the rehearsal.
All it does is make Yi Chan angry and argue with Eun Gyeol. Eun Gyeol then approaches Eun Yoo and asks her for a favour.
The following morning, Eun Yoo uses a clever ruse to lure Yi Chan to an island. After waiting for hours, he does not meet Eun Yoo but Eun Gyeol. Yi Chan realises it was all Eun Gyeol’s ploy to make him miss the rehearsals.
Yi Chan is furious, but Eun Gyeol cannot give him a logical explanation for his actions. Agitated, Eun Gyeol asks Yi Chan whether he would believe him (Eun Gyeol) if he said he was Yi Chan’s son from the future.

Will On Eun Yoo Choose Ha Eun Gyeol or Ha Yi Chan?
Eun Yoo is pretty disappointed after realising that Eun Gyeol has a weaker spice tolerance than her. This rules him out of her list of probable first love of Choi Se Kyung.
Eun Yoo berates herself for being attracted to someone her mother’s age rather than focusing on finding her mother’s first love. She makes up all sorts of reasons why she shouldn’t like Eun Gyeol, yet dolls herself up when he visits her.
Eun Yoo promises to help Eun Gyeol prevent Yi Chan from going to the rehearsal on two conditions. She makes him promise to open up to her about his secret.
Eun Yoo also sets up a date for the two. The following day, they would head to the movies after everything was done. Eun Gyeol adds that it should include popcorn and cola.
Eun Yoo asks Chung Ah, between Yi Chan and Eun Gyeol, who was more Se Kyung’s type before she left for the States. Chung Ah thinks momentarily and writes back that it would be Eun Gyeol. Eun Yoo looks pleased with the answer.

Twinkling Watermelon Episode 11 Review
Do you know the feeling when you have so many things to say, yet nothing comes to mind? That was us until an hour after finishing this episode.
Firstly, for the last ten minutes of the episode, it felt like the heart was in the throat. Will Eun Gyeol reach in time? Will Yi Chan still encounter an accident even after all Eun Gyeol did to prevent it in the first place? All these thoughts were overwhelming the mind.
Eun Yoo aims to find her mother’s first love to set them up. But Se Kyung did not return until her biological father’s demise. So, that plan has been faulty since the beginning.
Considering Se Kyung left before the festival, the only other band member, she might have known, who plays the guitar would be On Ji Hwan. Since her husband was not her first love, Eun Yoo would have a better chance of finding her mother’s first love abroad.
