Friends Or Lover (Feat. Cheon Ji Won) Lyrics Translation – Watermelon 18 To 20 Soundtrack
The songwriter drafts a conversation over drinks, where memories erase the awkwardness of time apart. A key line, ‘I hope you’ve been thinking of me too,’ mixes friendship with possibility. Watermelon uses the act of sitting across a table to describe a comfortable, questioning love.

Jamsi neowa meoreojyeotdeon siganeunDuring the time when we were apart for a while,
Duryeowosseo naegen jeongmal museowosseoI was afraid; it was truly terrifying for me.
