[Q. Did you expect to be matched with Yoo Sanho-ssi?]
Bae Taeseong: Since I have feelings for him, I thought it would be nice to go out for a day. I enjoyed it when we went out before too. But I didn’t expect it.
Jin Woohyeon: Of course I expected it. (But you weren’t matched.) I anticipated that too. I actually think it worked out well.
(Even though you can’t go on a date?) Yes. Even if I don’t need to shake up Sanho hyung, that side keeps creating reasons to get tired and fall away.
[Q. What kind of person do you think Yoo Sanho’s X, Lee Chan, is from Jin Woohyeon-ssi’s perspective?]
– I think he’s an intense person. When the light is bright, the shadow is also long. I think he could be a good person somewhere, and he could also be a bad person somewhere else.
(If there’s an aspect you viewed positively?) He’s doing well with Lei hyung. He seems like someone who can give Lei hyung things I couldn’t. I made him lonely the whole time we were dating, but I don’t think Chan hyung would do that.
(What about the opposite?) Rather than viewing negatively, I have curious points. Then why is he so cold toward Sanho hyung? Of course, since they won’t date again, he might be doing it more on purpose to make him let go… Hmm, I don’t know. It would be different for each person, right?
I believe courtesy is necessary even in breakups. If it were me, I wouldn’t make someone I love, someone I spent my whole life with, cry like that.
[Omega couples are just quick and decisive]
└ ㄹㅇ Looking at just them puts my mind at ease, 1-minute resolution
└ Who will you choose? Jiwon hyung. Who will you choose? I’ll choose Taeseong hyung. A meeting that could be solved in four sentences!!!!!
[Why is it so cute yet heartbreaking watching them chat and play during their free time ㅠㅠ These two surprisingly bicker but are affectionate and suit each other well….]
└ They were a bit rocky at first but now both seem to have comfortable hearts so it’s nice to watch ㅎㅎ
└ Real friend tension is precious ㅠ.ㅠS2S2S2
[Guys, am I the only one who wants Eungi-Yudam to get back together?]
└ Want EunYu couple reunion 2222
└ Want it 3333
└ Please!!!!!!!!!
[Choi Eungi acted like he’d do anything if Jeon Yudam wanted… but I guess he doesn’t like him doing well with someone else]
└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Isn’t choosing Jin Woohyeon really transparent?ㅠ It’s basically “let’s stay home and play”
[(Video) Yudam looking for Eungi in bewilderment after receiving the text is so cute]
└ It’s funny how he opened the door knowing he’d come looking
└ Want to go grocery shopping together tomorrow? / What?????
└ But he doesn’t seem to dislike it ㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yudam was secretly smiling when he came out
[Q. Choi Eungi-ssi practically prevented you from going on a date.]
– In a way, that’s right? But honestly, I was happy. He thought he didn’t want me to go out with someone else. Maybe he still has feelings for me… Even if it’s not quite attraction, maybe he has lingering feelings? I was happy thinking that.
[Q. Then do you want to meet with Choi Eungi-ssi again?]
– …No. I don’t have the right to that. I’m grateful enough just to spend time together now.
* * *
They say only two pairs succeeded in matching for this date. Me and Han Jiwon, and Lee Chan and An Lei.
How did the remaining six people miss each other? There was even meeting time with Xs.
My curiosity was quickly resolved. It was because of Lee Chan, who designated someone else even though he clearly knew who I was going to ask for as a date partner. It could be because of jealousy, or it could be out of spite. Of course, I never found out exactly why Lee Chan did that.
‘It’s a bit disappointing.’
But this isn’t bad either. Han Jiwon is a good person and it seems like it would be fun to be with him. Last time we only had dinner and parted, so it felt a bit lacking. It’s true that I’m curious about him in various ways, so this date seemed like it would be a good opportunity.
“How about you, Yudam?”
Jeon Yudam, who was sitting at the island table swinging his feet, said in an entranced voice.
“I’m good…”
Being at home? Being with Choi Eungi? What should I ask? While I was pondering, a small voice continued.
“Omelet rice.”
“…Huh?”
“Could you cut it for me, hyung? I want to film a video.”
Coming to my senses with a start, I looked at the pan in my hand. An omelet that was properly cooked and shaped into an elongated oval was contained in the pan.
I had prepared it because Jeon Yudam said he wanted to eat it for breakfast, and since he liked it much more than I expected, I felt somewhat proud.
“That’s fine. Can you wait a moment?”
“Yes! Just a moment!”
When I placed the omelet over the nicely shaped fried rice, not only the phone camera but also the broadcast camera came close at the same time.
I gently cut open the omelet feeling a bit shy. When the thinly spread egg unfolded on the plate, Jeon Yudam forgot he was filming a video and let out a “Wow!” exclamation.
“What kind of cooking can’t Sanho hyung do?”
“I… can’t do a lot.”
“But you’re good at this. You make rolled omelets really prettily too.”
“Well, that’s…”
I smiled quietly, swallowing the words “because Lee Chan liked eggs.” Regardless of the reason, I was happy to be praised for something I practiced hard at.
“Eat it before it gets cold.”
“Yes. I’ll eat well!”
Just then, Han Jiwon and Kim Sehyeong came down together. Kim Sehyeong had a watering can in his hand, perhaps having watered the plants upstairs.
“Good morning.”
“Hyungs! Did you sleep well?”
“Sanho sleeps a lot in the morning, so why are you up already?”
At Han Jiwon’s worried voice, I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
“Yudam said he wanted to eat omelet rice. I thought there wouldn’t be time when we come back after dinner, so I made it for breakfast.”
Jeon Yudam, who was putting a big spoonful of rice in his mouth, opened his eyes wide in surprise.
“Ah-oh uh ah-ee-ah ah-ah-oh?”
“It’s not so much that you need to worry. You can sleep early today.”
“You can really hear that?”
“Yes. Roughly. He’s asking if Sanho hyung sleeps a lot in the morning.”
“It’s always amazing to see.”
“Wow.”
Jeon Yudam, who swallowed what was in his mouth, exclaimed in admiration.
“Amazing. But will you two have breakfast too? This is mine so I can’t share…”
“I won’t steal your food. I don’t usually eat breakfast anyway. I’m going to blend some juice. Sehyeong, should I give you a glass too?”
“Yes. I’ll help you prepare the vegetables.”
Kim Sehyeong, who was arranging large kale leaves for easy blending, casually asked.
“Jiwon hyung is going on a date with Sanho hyung today, and Taeseong hyung is staying at the dorm.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Who did you designate?”
Han Jiwon’s hands, which were finely chopping carrots, paused.
“…Sanho. At first I thought about designating Yeonwoo, but since I couldn’t completely ignore the possibility, I chose Sanho. I’m regretting it a bit now.”
Kim Sehyeong smiled slightly and replied.
“Right. Yeonwoo was disappointed. I guess the date he went on with Taeseong hyung before was good. Still, since the two of them are at the dorm, they’ll do something. But did you think going on a date with Sanho hyung was a possibility?”
“Well… I did think so.”
Han Jiwon, who was putting the prepared vegetables into the mixer bowl, said calmly.
“I didn’t know I’d be judged as having even less possibility.”
Only then did I realize why Jin Woohyeon was curious about who was designated as my date partner today. He seemed to think this designation result was the competitive ranking Lee Chan had in mind.
‘He did look strangely angry.’
Apart from why Lee Chan was acting that way, I thought this matter might be a matter of pride for Han Jiwon.
Feeling a bit embarrassed and sorry, I was pretending to wash dishes while wearing an apron and clattering around, when I heard Kim Sehyeong’s voice behind me.
“By the way, Jiwon hyung. This is three glasses. Why the extra one?”
“That…”
“It’s mine.”
I heard the sound of a door opening, then Bae Taeseong’s voice interjected. He seemed to have returned from his morning run.
“Right?”
“Yeah. I figured it was about time for you to come back.”
“Oh? Today it’s not just one but two of you?”
“I said I’d follow along. Today seemed like it would be particularly long, so I wanted to drain some energy in advance.”
At the low, gentle voice, my head automatically turned around. Jin Woohyeon in workout clothes was wiping sweat with a towel next to Bae Taeseong.
“Good morning.”
Our eyes met as if he had been waiting. Even though it was just a simple meeting of eyes, Jin Woohyeon smiled brightly as if he had gained the whole world. A smile like morning sunlight spread across his clear, handsome face.
“Good, seeing your face. Did you sleep well?”
They were nothing special words. Ordinary, common greetings that wouldn’t be strange to exchange with anyone at any time.
But why do I receive all those words as something novel and extraordinary just because you said them?
“Sanho hyung?”
It was a problem with a predetermined answer from the beginning.
“Why are you spacing out like that, hyung? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
It was because you were becoming special to me.
“No.”
It was because I wanted to consider you special.
“Just… I’m happy seeing you.”
Could you make me change? So that I could give up or graduate from this long-standing old love… so that I could do love transfer or whatever?
Only I could give that answer.
