One day neighbor Simon was injured by a thief, and Melvin was asked to take care of Simon's puppy. But it was this time together that made Melvin start to care about the world.
Melvin is also a paranoid, and every time he goes to the same restaurant, he asks the same waiter, Carol, to serve him. But one day, Carol didn't come to work. Without Carol, Melvin would not be able to eat well. And the owner of the restaurant finally couldn't stand Melvin's paranoia and kicked him out. Fortunately, Melvin also found out Melvin's Last Name, and finally found out Carol's address. When she learned that her son had severe asthma, Melvin asked a doctor to treat him without saying a word.
Carroll thanked Mel very much. The atmosphere between the two gradually changed slightly.
Simon was a painter before being maimed. However, the medical bills to be paid this time made Simon bankrupt. Simon had to seek help from his parents who had not been in contact for many years.

This visit made Simon very embarrassed. But Simon had no choice. His friend Frank invites Melvin to drive Simon with him because Frank has some work to do.
Melvin was already very attached to Carroll at this time. So Melvin took Carol on the trip.
At night, the three checked into the hotel. Carroll learned over the phone that her son's condition had improved. So excited, they invited the two to dance together. But the depressed Simon didn't want to go, he had his own things to worry about. So, this just created an opportunity for Melvin.
Melvin invites Carol to a fancy restaurant, but when Carol asks Melvin to tell his love, Melvin is timid. This annoyed Carol (supposedly annoyed). So she never returned.
Carol went back to the hotel and went to Simon's place. Just as Carol was undressing and preparing to take a bath, Simon looked at Carroll's beautiful back and suddenly burst into inspiration again.
On the other hand, Melvin is struggling with a broken love. When he got back to the hotel, Carroll still didn't want to hear him explain. With no other choice, Melvin had to go home with Simon in despair. (Simon had no place to live because he used the apartment to pay off the debt. After Melvin found out, he immediately contributed a room of his own)
After returning home, Simon encourages Melvin to confess to Carroll. This time, he finally mustered up the courage and came to Carol's residence. And finally expressed his love to her. And Carol finally accepted Melvin's love.
