The protagonists of that, Minho and Haeyoung, were each swallowing their confusion for their own reasons. Still, Haeyoung was more skilled at managing his expression than Minho, and Minho, who was honest with his feelings, couldn’t hide his expression and was clearly showing an anxious air on his face. But it wasn’t that he couldn’t understand Minho’s heart. Yoon Haeyoung could understand Minho, who couldn’t hide the fact that he liked Soyoon, and on the other hand, was a tiny bit envious.
It couldn’t be pleasant to have the person you like mention someone else’s name. Moreover, from his perspective, Minho was quite conscious of Seonwoo, who had the first date with Soyoon. He didn’t know if Soyoon knew, but anyway, Minho feeling anxious was justified in itself. So the only one feeling strange emotions for unreasonable reasons was himself.
When they were dating and even after breaking up, there was no one who delivered news of Cha Seonwoo to him. Since he always heard news directly from him or rather was always together without even needing to, hearing news of Seonwoo from someone else was a first for Haeyoung.
At that fact, Yoon Haeyoung somehow felt a bit strange. Too weak to call it displeasure, too heavy to call it wonder. That emotion was unfamiliar and….
‘Get a grip, Yoon Haeyoung.’
It had an excessively petty and ridiculous corner to feel toward an ex-lover. Haeyoung raked through his hair as if combing it down and shook off the flustered feeling. And soon he naturally melted into the gap between the people conversing with smiling faces.
It was then that Hyuna put down the letter envelope she had been holding.
“Then we should open this among ourselves.”
The female cast members, as if they already knew, made excited expressions and looked at each other.
The male cast members belatedly gave their attention to the letter envelope she had put down on the table. Haeyoung also propped his chin while looking down at the pale pink envelope. The contents that would be inside were obvious. Either a date location or some mission would be written.
Sure enough, inside the letter envelope were four postcards along with a short card.
“Take one postcard each. You will go on a second date with the person who chose the same postcard….”
After reading down the enclosed card, Sehee raised her head with a bright smile. Postcards with all different pictures were spread on the table, and the cast members looked at those four cards and soon knowingly or unknowingly exchanged glances with each other. What broke that subtle current was a cheerful voice.
“Ah, we have this in our room too. I guess we have to choose separately, men and women.”
Minho, who had been quietly watching, jumped up and said. At his appearance as if he would immediately run to the room and bring it, Haeyoung let out an empty laugh and stopped him.
“Let’s go together.”
“Why?”
“It seems like we have to choose separately anyway, so let’s go to the room together and choose.”
“Oh, okay!”
When he said this while getting up, Minho immediately nodded. At Haeyoung’s words, Jaehwi, who had been sitting, also got up from his seat. Soyoon, who had been watching the men heading to the room to choose postcards, asked as if she had almost forgotten.
“Then what about Seonwoo oppa’s?”
“…Whatever’s left will be Seonwoo hyung’s. Or Haeyoung can choose.”
Minho, who had been about to enter the room quite excitedly, hesitated and answered at Soyoon’s question. Though it seemed he was trying to respond as nonchalantly as possible, disappointment he couldn’t completely erase could be glimpsed in his awkward expression. It seemed he became gloomy just from her mentioning Seonwoo.
Haeyoung, who had been walking beside Minho, stretched out his arm and lightly gripped his shoulder. At that, Minho’s face, which had been watching Soyoon, turned toward Haeyoung. Meeting his drooping eyes, Haeyoung smiled slightly and gestured with his head toward the room. It was a gesture saying let’s just go in.
Following behind Haeyoung, who lowered his hand from his shoulder and walked toward his room, Minho swallowed a sigh. Jaehwi raised his hand and patted his back as if knowing Minho’s heart. Minho, who had raised his head with touched eyes at that gesture, discovered Jaehwi yawning with a blank face and swallowed another sigh.
“This is it, right?”
Haeyoung, who had entered the room first, picked up the white letter envelope placed on the table while looking at the two people following in. Since it was the same design as the letter envelope Hyuna had been holding, it was probably right, but after asking to confirm, Haeyoung held out the envelope to him when Jaehwi nodded and approached.
“How should we decide the order?”
“Hyung and Minho can choose first.”
Toward Jaehwi, who was taking out postcards identical to what they had just seen from the envelope and laying them out, Haeyoung spoke calmly.
“Haeyoung….”
It was just that there was no particular reason to choose first so he had passed on the choice, but as if it were some great concession, Minho immediately called him with a voice moistly wet. Anyway, he’s so sensitive…. Haeyoung chuckled and shook his head.
The two, who had laid out four postcards on the table and pondered for quite a while, soon each took one. Seeing how long they deliberated, it seemed certain that both had someone they were interested in. It was when Haeyoung was blankly looking at the two remaining postcards, having the idle thought that he hoped the two had chosen well.
“You choose and the remaining one can be Seonwoo hyung’s.”
At Minho’s words, he, who belatedly realized his turn had come, unfolded his crossed arms and straightened his body that had been leaning against the wall. What remained were two postcards. Once he chose one, what remained would become Seonwoo’s. Haeyoung’s neck filled with stiff tension at unintentionally holding the decision-making power for his date partner.
His refreshing eyes soon became stained with distress and sharpened. Though it was also strange to deliberate for a long time, somehow his hand wouldn’t move easily, so Haeyoung fiddled with his lips and hid the sigh that seemed about to burst out.
‘Ah… why do I hate this so much.’
Since they had come to appear on the program together, the fact that they had to date different partners was already decided. Moreover, Yoon Haeyoung had already experienced one date. Wasn’t it too late even for jealousy? Now that he thought about choosing his date partner, it was ridiculous that he felt a slight sense of rejection and his stomach churned.
“…Then I’ll take this one.”
Yoon Haeyoung unknowingly relaxed his furrowed brow and reached out his hand. Seeing Haeyoung pick up the postcard with a cute picture of lights strung like beads, Minho lifted the last remaining postcard.
The postcard with a blue sky spread across it was thrust toward Haeyoung.
“Then this is Seonwoo hyung’s. You’ll give it to him, right?”
“……”
Haeyoung, who couldn’t receive it right away and looked down at it for a moment, nodded his head with his gaze lowered, smiling. Since they were using the same room, it was right for him to deliver it.
It was when he was looking at the postcard he had received from Minho. He felt vibration from the pants pocket where he had put his phone. Seeing that notification sounds were also coming from the front, it seemed they had all received the same text.
Haeyoung felt like he knew the contents of that text even without checking.
「Please write the name of the cast member your heart leaned toward today and a message. The message will be delivered to the other person anonymously.」
As expected. After roughly reading down the now-familiar message, Haeyoung raised his head and gave Jaehwi and Minho a short nod greeting. Those who had been looking at the text waved their hands, seeing Haeyoung off as he left.
As soon as he left the room, he sent the text without difficulty and put his phone back in his pocket. And while crossing the corridor in front of the common space to return to his room, he ran into Sehee, who was coming out. Seeing Haeyoung stop walking as soon as she saw him, Sehee smiled brightly.
“What postcard did you pick?”
At Sehee’s confident attitude of asking directly without beating around the bush, Haeyoung reflexively raised his eyebrows. It seemed she had somewhat thrown away the pure image she had established at the beginning. Sehee’s appearance, smiling at him with an unadorned attitude while looking up, seemed much more comfortable, and so Haeyoung could only smile back at her.
When he took out his postcard and showed it to her, Sehee frowned slightly. With a face showing she wasn’t pleased, she also showed the postcard she had.
“Oh, I have this one.”
“Ah….”
“We crossed.”
The postcard she was holding had the same picture as the one Jaehwi had chosen. It was a bit disappointing not to have chosen the same postcard as Sehee, with whom he felt most comfortable dating among the cast members, but since Jaehwi seemed to have feelings for her, perhaps it was better this way.
Well, he was probably the only one in this place who couldn’t look forward to the second date. Haeyoung, who laughed emptily as if deflated, soon saw Sehee off to the front of the stairs, telling her to go in. Only after seeing her go down the stairs did he return to the room and languidly head toward Seonwoo’s bed.
Haeyoung, who stood in front of the bed whose owner hadn’t returned, lowered his gaze to the postcard he was holding. A blue sky without a single cloud above a dense forest filled his vision. Haeyoung, who had been standing looking at that picture for a while, carefully put it down on the bed. And as he was about to turn around, he eventually hesitated and sat down again, bending his body in front of the bed.
He, who propped his chin on the bed and stretched out his arm to pick up the postcard he had put down, looked at it again. The paper caught on his limp fingertips felt unusually sharp. His gaze, unable to easily change direction, lingered on the postcard for a long time.
In the space full of silence, a vibration sound rang out again. The phone screen, which had been placed on the bed for a moment, turned on and gave off bright light in the darkness.
「It’s a shame we couldn’t date together this time haha But if you need a fashion coach, come find me」
「Make sure to keep your promise to come see the performance!」
Messages floated on the screen, sparkling like lights, but Haeyoung didn’t have the leisure to look at them for long. He lowered the hand that had been holding the postcard and hung his head weakly. It was dark. Feeling a cold that he didn’t know when it started, Haeyoung closed his eyes to escape into deeper darkness.

[If Seonwoo is a money catcher, then Haeyoung is]
Yoon Haeyoung seems to have come in as a counselor for the residents
In the scene where he meets Minho outside and has dinner, he seems not to accept Minho’s whining but subtly comforts him well hahahaha And the scene on the way home from work with Dain is crazy.. When she says it’s her last performance, he says he’ll go watch.. Right before entering the house, he says your songs are good, I hope you continue, like this…hey this is cheating…
<28 comments>
[Really, I don’t know about anything else, but seeing him say at the door that he hopes she continues, I’m buying Haeyoung-Dain stock, this works]
└For real, fluttering cry cry Honestly, Haeyoung’s charm in Love Line is overwhelming
└That’s not it, if you consider atmosphere, there’s no cast member who beats Seonwoo
└haha Ugh…stop with the bullshit… just watching the broadcast and what delusion about atmosphere hahahaha
└?? If you only talk based on watching the broadcast, then what else do you base it on? It’s a fact that most of the female cast sent texts to Seonwoo on the first day, and it’s also true that he has the most refined look among the cast members?
└Who has the least information revealed among the cast members hahahaha If he had things, there’s no way he’d have zero screen time like that? hahahaha The logic is fucking ridiculous
└Don’t fight… this is just a broadcast….
[But I want to try dating one of them]
[Minho is cute, his same-age chemistry with Haeyoung is so good cry hahahaha]
└Agree, I think these two really have good personalities hahahaha
[Isn’t it basically Yoon Haeyoung’s free counseling center hahahahahaha]
[Haeyoung and Dain really do suit each other well…]
Is it because they’re the same age?? The back-and-forth on the way home from work is so good haha Haeyoung going to the cafe together because Dain wants to go is also fluttering
When Dain asks who in the band is the best, Yoon Haeyoung teases her by naming other people without mentioning Dain, it’s so cute cry cry Dain also receives the teasing well
Haeyoung kept teasing Dain and seemed to genuinely find her cute haha He kept cracking up haha
If the first date had been with Dain instead of Sehee, for these two it might have been about timing… Dain sends a text to Haeyoung that day but Haeyoung consistently sends texts to Sehee, so I was even more disappointed, they suit each other so well cry cry

[But seeing him shut his mouth when Dain asks him to wake her up in the morning, there’s kind of no possibility…hahahaha Haeyoung seems to be only going straight for Sehee]
└For real, if he goes to the room to wake Dain up, he’d run into Sehee too, so he couldn’t say it
└We still don’t know…we still don’t know this….
[The gifs are so good cry cry The back-and-forth is amazing, their chemistry is really good cry cry]
[And then he didn’t receive a text]
└cry cry
└He’s kind when he’s with her but doesn’t actually send texts, so…heh sigh
[Really honestly I was fluttering haha I got super intensely immersed]
└Me too…while watching I got immersed in Dain-Haeyoung, please give more Dain-Haeyoung backstory cry cry cry
└Me too, I’m supporting them because they suit each other well.cry
[When they come home and Minho asks if he can eat the bread, and Haeyoung says to eat together when Dain comes up, that’s legendary too]
└This is really…haha If I were Dain, I’d fall for him right away. Yoon Haeyoung honestly did this without any feelings? I should sue, really
└With that face, I’d love him even if he had a criminal record confirmed confirmed
[Working all day and barely getting off work, but going to a cafe with a girl he wasn’t particularly interested in and matching all the conversation while teasing her in a way that doesn’t feel bad is really hard work. He must have wanted to go home, wash up and lie down.. Can’t say he has no interest]
└222 If the timing is right for Haeyoung-Dain, who knows what will happen going forward
└33333 Let’s go
[I was originally Haeyoung-Sehee but I’m withdrawing my support and]
From today I’ve decided to support Haeyoung-Soyeon…

[You made a typo for Soyoon haha]
└It’s not a typo, I’m Soyeon
└Are you crazy
└hahahahahaha
└Crazy please cry haha
[Ah fuck haha Who is Soyeon]
[haha I thought it was obviously Haeyoung-Soyoon, Soyeon is an identity I never even imagined]
[Call the police]
└My boyfriend is about to become a lawyer
└Death penalty
