In Melo Movie Episode 9, for Ju-a, there were only two types of people in the world—Si-jun and everyone else. When Si-jun left home to pursue music, they spent all their time together in the studio. She supported him completely, putting her dreams on hold.
But over time, doubts crept in. Even while in a relationship, it always felt like it was him and everyone else. She couldn’t focus on herself. She had to be there for him all the time. When she finally said she wanted to break up, Si-jun was devastated.
Si-jun later reflected on why he had fallen for Ju-a. With her by his side, he could create music effortlessly. Loving her gave him endless inspiration. To support her, he even started making jingles—something he never wanted to do. He saved up to buy her a laptop for work.
After the breakup, he cried endlessly. Had she stopped believing in him? How could she say it was over when she used to call him the best? Even five years later, he still held on to hope.
Si-jun’s Confession and Their First Date
Now, in the present, Si-jun finally confessed. “I still miss you,” he admitted. “And I get swayed every time I see you.” He made a request. “Go on three dates with me.” Ju-a hesitated but agreed. On their first date, her heart fluttered. It reminded her of how she used to look at him in high school. They talked about work. Si-jun took care of her throughout the date. For a moment, it felt like nothing had changed.
Mu-bee’s Movie Faces a Crisis
Meanwhile, Mu-bee received bad news. The movie’s producer demanded budget cuts, or they would pull out of the project. Worried about the film’s future, she shared the problem with her mother.
The Mu-bee response was sharp. “I won’t be foolish like my father. I will not take on debt for a movie.” Hearing her mother reply that her dad wasn’t foolish, Mu-bee became emotional. “I still hate Dad,” she admitted. “He only ever chased his dreams.” Later, she met with her former director for advice. His words were simple. “Go forward. Stories fade away with time.”
Si-jun and Ju-a’s Emotional Confrontation
Ju-a later informed Si-jun that the production company had canceled the movie. He wasn’t surprised. “I’m used to this,” he said. Then, he asked her on their second date. Ju-a agreed, but this time, she had a condition—she wanted to listen to his music again. At the studio, Si-jun made a shocking statement. “I’m quitting music.”
Ju-a was stunned. A heated argument broke out. Upset, she left the studio in tears. Si-jun tried to find her, but she had shut him out. When he finally found her, she was furious. “I don’t want you to quit!” she shouted. “I spent seven years believing in your talent. I have a right to say something!”
Si-jun looked at her, his emotions finally spilling over. “I’m still trapped where I was five years ago,” he admitted. Both of them broke down in tears. Without thinking, they reached for each other. They held on, crying in each other’s arms.
