“Since it’s all over, let’s be honest.”
Bae Taeseong’s words were not just honest but downright explicit.
“Coming out for promotion, of course I didn’t dislike it. No matter what, it’s selling your face in front of cameras, so I thought that much was worth taking. I’m fine since I have sponsors, but I’ve often seen other seniors and juniors in the sports world who don’t.”
Han Dajeong looked a bit nervous but didn’t stop Bae Taeseong. Seeing that they didn’t cut filming in the middle, it seemed they had anticipated this situation to some extent.
Since it was timing when Lee Chan’s story would come up, perhaps thinking I would try to stop it, Jin Woohyeon reached out and placed his palm over the back of my hand, pressing down firmly.
‘It’s fine though.’
I was a bit flustered, but that was all. Because there was no reason to take Lee Chan’s side anymore. What I was worried about was whether people might think badly of Bae Taeseong because of this situation.
Bae Taeseong was a really good person, and since we’d be seeing each other often, I didn’t want him to have a bad experience because of me.
“I did think it was terrible to seat an ex right there and look for new love right in front of them when you obviously knew they still had lingering feelings, but when promotion goes wrong and things get noisy, it’s a bit much to not even show your face, isn’t it? Are we so free that we came all the way here?”
Bae Taeseong smiled wickedly with a carefree attitude as if telling them to edit if they wanted to edit.
After winning the gold medal in fencing at the Summer Olympics, Bae Taeseong’s recognition was literally skyrocketing. Unlike us who just had a bit of word-of-mouth as popular program participants, his activities often appeared with large photos in the entertainment sections of portal sites.
Perhaps deciding to deliberately put him front and center, Han Jiwon just smiled sweetly and didn’t stop Bae Taeseong.
“If you have a purpose, at least show some courtesy. That’s basic, isn’t it? Don’t you think so, An Lei-ssi?”
An Lei, who had been fiddling with his ring, looked toward Bae Taeseong and then stared at me quietly. It was a somehow complicated gaze.
Was he hoping I would take his side?
But I felt very sorry that I didn’t want to do that. I knew An Lei wasn’t a bad person, and I also knew he might be another victim of the transfer romance Lee Chan committed.
But even so, the fact that he used Jin Woohyeon for the purpose of promoting the shopping mall didn’t disappear. Just as Lee Chan wasn’t honest with me, An Lei wasn’t honest with Jin Woohyeon either.
So I thought the noise surrounding this shopping mall and the complaints from other participants were burdens that the two of them had to bear.
“I had no choice.”
To An Lei’s excuse-like words, Jin Woohyeon responded with a cold voice.
“You probably didn’t want to have a choice.”
“…”
“I’d feel uncomfortable if I were you. You know, there’s that saying? A dog’s habits can’t be changed.”
Bae Taeseong looked at Jin Woohyeon with narrowed eyes. It was the moment when the two looked most friendly among all the times I’d seen them.
“That’s right. Nature and temperament can’t be changed, can they?”
Hwang Yeonwoo, who had been quietly listening beside them, stuck out his tongue and joined in.
“That’s why they say someone who cheated once will cheat twice. It’s absolute.”
People’s gazes naturally gathered on me. Some seemed curious, some seemed to expect agreement or rebuttal, and some seemed to be gauging my mood.
I turned my hand over to firmly grasp Jin Woohyeon’s hand and answered in a calm voice.
“Having experienced it, that does seem to be true.”
“…”
“But… I’m not really angry about him transferring from me.”
I looked at the cue card in Han Dajeong’s hand and said.
“Love can be transferred.”

[˗ˋˏWowˎˊ˗]
[I was really waiting for the Love Transfer after-story… I almost starved to death]
[No follow-up, no debut, no interest in SNS,,, I really missed some participants who returned to their original places but kept wondering if it was okay to act like this toward civilians ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
└That’s right!!!!!!!! Yudam! Eungi! Sanho! Sehyeong!!! Are you listening!!
[The view count going up is insane ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ When did Love Transfer become this famous? Seems like the biggest firepower among all dating shows ever]
└Can’t help it, this is all because of BTS These days he’s the hottest athlete in Korea
└The only variety show a gold medalist appeared on
[Wow finally seeing the hidden gap in the Han Jiwon-Bae Taeseong story ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I was about to die from curiosity]
[Q. How was it after becoming the final couple?]
Han Jiwon: Actually, although we chose each other, we didn’t immediately develop into lovers after leaving. So the editing also seemed to have an open ending, and I think we unintentionally made the viewers too anxious… (laughs out loud.)
I tried my best in my own way. I thought that now I had to prove my feelings to Taeseong. I thought I shouldn’t leave the stability of our relationship only to Taeseong, and kept thinking I should try, I should try, but… it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
Amazingly, while struggling like that, I came to understand Taeseong a bit more. I see. Always being by someone’s side as if it’s natural, that actually wasn’t so easy. Maybe nothing in the world is natural. Like that.
[Q. I heard you’re currently meeting Han Jiwon-ssi with good feelings.]
Bae Taeseong: Uh… Yes, that’s… (blushing and turning his head.) That’s how it turned out. Yes.
It hasn’t been long since we became lovers again. Actually, I was planning to talk about it properly in the follow-up… (That video is super famous, right? The gold medal ceremony.) After getting the result I’d been waiting for, I couldn’t see anything else.
Sometimes I feel Jiwon has changed. I can see him trying harder. Whenever that happens, I try too. What can I do to give Han Jiwon the more clear and delicately defined emotions he wants?
The result? Hmm, well. I’m not sure about that. I haven’t found a proper answer yet. Maybe it’ll take a very long time.
Still, what’s important is that we’re together. That’s enough.
[Yeonwoo and Sehyeong look good together (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) I’ve seen them often on Game King TV but seeing their close relationship on broadcast like this makes my heart flutter ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Don’t the kids seem a bit more mature?]
└Really? But Sehyeong was originally a bit mature and Yeonwoo was originally funny
└└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[(Video) Kim Sehyeong is this real????????? He got a boyfriend ooooo]
└When they said they haven’t been meeting long, heads are turning rapidly and Hwang Yeonwoo is stuck in there
└Why don’t you know ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└└ He seems most upset about that fact himself
[No news about Eungi Yudam? Please… give me some hints… I’m begging like this… really please… the two look close… how can you betray everyone’s expectations like this… Yudam… please at least do SNS… Choi Eungi seems like he won’t do it even if you beat him to death so you’re the only hope]
└They’re doing well… what does doing well mean… how are they doing well… explain in detail… tell us every detail about their feelings… we have the right to interfere too…
└Choi Eungi you… you’re the biggest problem… if you’re going to look at Jeon Yudam with such honey-dripping eyes… at least confess… be a man…
└└ Why is this so wistful and funny ㅋㅋ ah
[The Juyeon-Sanho two-shot is somehow touching ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Sanho, you’re super happy with your current boyfriend right? Congratulations ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ The after-story current boyfriend proof full course is insane ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
└J-fans who started watching the program to see Juyeon but got PTSD together and screamed and fully bought Woohyeon Sanho stocks
└└ Yes yes honestly we watched Love Transfer more earnestly than You and 1 Year ㅋㅋㅋ Before Woohyeon came in as the replacement it was really hell. Hell itself. We watched Love Transfer religiously while giving the middle finger to the monitor every week
└Honestly it was harder than when I was fangirling over J ㅋㅋ That was a marriage variety show so they started by marrying the current husband from the first episode… but here I can’t even imagine how many times they lifted and dropped people
└└ But it’s a happy ending right?
└Ah of course, what about Lee Chan ㅋㅋ He caused all sorts of trouble and it was so messy he couldn’t even show his face ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Wow looks like the production team gave up too, just letting the cast members diss him ㅎ… well the controversy was pretty big]
└Actually this might be edited too…….
└They probably decided they couldn’t completely silence it ㅇㅇ If it was just a problem between Lee Chan and Sanho they’d just let it be but now with the staff exposé war… the timing is timing too ㅋㅋ
└(Link) Did you see another exposé post that came up? A studio staff member saying An Lei came to shoot for a certain brand before entering, and Lee Chan was there and the two had a lover’s atmosphere
└Honestly the production company could sue for damages and it’d be legal ㅋㅋ these kids do you have any conscience?
[Lee Chan at least ran away but An Lei is sitting there wearing a ring… honestly I don’t know what kind of conscience that is]
└At first I thought he was just a victim of transfer romance but after digging he’s not really that either, and even if not, he still used Woohyeon… seeing actor Jin’s cold atmosphere… well, birds of a feather flock together
└Most uninteresting boring current couple among all successful couples ever
[Kids anyway even if I don’t specifically cut those guys’ throats they’re destined to fall away on their own ㅎㅎ Don’t get heated and look at new gifs (photo) (photo) (photo) (photo)]
[Honey is dripping from Jin Woohyeon’s eyes dude do you like it that much ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (gif)]
[Sanho seems to have gotten used to Woohyeon a lot, naturally leaning on him feels good]
[Kids… morally you must let us know when you get married okay!!!! We can’t go to the wedding but we’ll eat noodles. DIY at our house.]
└Let’s eat together
└Let’s eat together ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Let’s eat some noodles kids!
[Give us another follow-up]
[Give us more……]
[Hand over your current status or we’ll grill Lee Chan and eat him]
