Thirty minutes isn't that long.

I think it would be nice if she were honest.

Because this is the end.

I'm looking forward to today since we'll be on our own.

I think the people I've been wanting to talk to came to see me.

Jung-bin, Dan-a, and Hye-bin.

I had chosen Sung-gyeol from the beginning,

but the date with Yeon-soo had a big impact on me.

I still have to get to know Jung-bin,

whereas I already know about Dan-a.

I will be the game-changer.

I went back to Sung-gyeol

who was the first person I texted.

Going straightforward.

Sung-gyeol is the person

I've had the most interaction with.

We've had a lot of interaction so far.

I wanted to talk to him one last time.

Depending on the conversation today,

I think it could be someone entirely new.

I want to be serious today.

EPISODE 9

LEE JUCK, AHN AH-REUM, JUNG JAE-HYUNG Here we are

LEE MI-JOO, NUCKSAL back at work again.

I bet we are the only company

where people look forward to coming to work.

- That's right. - I know.

But Mi-joo screamed when you said that we were back.

- I spend my days waiting for this day. - She really does.

- This is all I look forward to. - Only this day.

- It was a scream of joy. - Yes, of course.

Last week was a world of absolute chaos.

- We all said so as we watched. - Exactly.

That upset me.

He thinks of me as second place.

And now he's just going back to the person he likes more.

Have fun.

I have to... Dan-a asked to see me.

- Dan-a? - Yes. I'll be back.

It didn't matter how charming others were.

I can't.

- You couldn't change your mind? - I couldn't.

Really?

So? Did you come

to ask me

to have dinner?

Let's eat.

Maybe like 80 percent?

Yes, why talk about it on the stuffy emergency stairs?

Should I do something like this?

Like this?

Since we're close to the end, everyone is showing their true feelings.

- Right. In last week's episode, - Right.

- everyone showed how they truly felt. - Yes.

- Now, the long-awaited 30-minute date. - Long-awaited, indeed.

- So... - Let's watch.

These are the dates they requested on the emergency stairs, right?

- Yes, Sung-gyeol met three people. - That's right.

30-MINUTE DATE

The final decision is a day away.

Express your true feelings

on this one last date.

However, you only get 30 minutes.

Gosh, they have to use a timer?

But 30 minutes can go by in the blink of an eye.

That's right.

- Look at her coming in with a smile. - I'm here.

- She's so pure. - Yes.

Did it take long to get here?

No, I got here quickly.

It was quick?

I don't think I've seen Ka-ya's eyes open wide

since she became a couple with Jung-hoon.

- I know. - Her eyes are smiling.

- You're right. - She just keeps smiling.

Gosh, I feel nervous for some reason.

I know.

YANG JUNG-HOON AND JUNG KA-YA'S DATE

How do you feel?

One week went by in a flash.

It really went by so fast.

I think I've felt an entire year's worth of emotions

during this week.

I feel the same way.

Luckily, we had an opportunity to connect

and grow closer.

I'm glad that we did.

I am too.

In a way,

things felt special between us from the start.

And...

this could be our last time together.

So...

I felt a mix of emotions.

I feel really weird.

I feel weird,

but I'm not worried.

I'm not worried either.

It's just that...

Well...

- You know how the French chef was here? - Yes.

As I watched you speaking in French,

I felt everyone's gaze, so I looked around.

All the men and women

- seemed to be mesmerized by your charm. - Amazing.

What if...

- What if... - What are you saying?

When you and I are spending time together

and other people are there,

I thought the time we get to spend could become shorter.

I felt anxious about that.

So I couldn't hide my emotions.

I felt that in such a brief moment.

But then, you reassured me right away.

And you made me feel certain.

I knew I had to

go with you.

I wanted to say, "I should go with Ka-ya."

I've never

felt confused with you.

Not even once.

I'm not worried at all.

I trust you.

She's so adorable.

What?

What was that? Why did you poke me?

Why did you poke me? Gosh.

That light touch showed just how much she trusts him.

Yes, it gives reassurance.

I trust you.

You know the photo we took earlier?

Yes.

- I love this photo so much. - Yes.

Give me your hand.

Why?

Just because.

Give this back to me tomorrow.

- This? - Yes.

Give it back tomorrow.

Okay.

By the way, I think we kind of look alike.

You're right.

- Right? - Everyone was saying that too.

I gave you this photo

so you could hold onto it and think of me.

I know, so you can give it back tomorrow.

Then I'll hold onto it.

YANG JUNG-HOON AND JUNG KA-YA'S 30-MINUTE DATE COMES TO AN END

They're like a real couple. What are they going to do?

Could they not choose each other after this?

- They're so sweet together. - That can't happen.

These guys are really in the pre-dating phase.

- They're pre-dating. - It doesn't matter that it's a TV show.

They can't hide their facial expressions.

If you call this pre-dating, then what's next?

It's the beginning of a relationship.

- It's the beginning. - But I think they're pretty much dating.

Once they look back later, this will already seem like the beginning.

CHOI WOOK AND PARK JI-YOUNG'S DATE

- Let's start with the salad. - Okay.

This is the last date.

- Really? - Yes.

When you're told it's the last one,

it's easy to feel pressured.

How do you like the photos from our photoshoot?

I think they turned out nice.

They really did.

I was surprised.

I think they turned out better

- than what they showed us that day. - Yes, I was surprised.

But I think you looked better than me.

Come on. We both look good.

When we were choosing the photos that day,

you just said okay after checking how you look.

And I wanted to take a good picture

when we took one together today.

I really intend to take it with me.

I wanted to have a nice photo to take home.

I thought it looked fine.

But you kept saying you didn't like how you looked.

But it's nice to have both of us look good in the picture.

I didn't think you looked weird.

I didn't think it was weird either.

For me, even if I don't look good in photos...

You know what I mean.

What?

It doesn't matter who looks good in the photo and who doesn't.

- Rather... - Right.

You seemed so concerned about it all day.

No, I thought you were thinking that way.

- No, I was just joking. - Were you joking?

I like taking goofy pictures too.

Anyway, I wanted to

keep a picture I took with you.

Why?

Because it was nice.

That's why I think I tried to take a good picture.

- Why won't you do the kneading? - The kneading pose.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

My eyes look too intense.

Let's take it as a selfie. Come here.

He says he doesn't like how he looks.

- He doesn't like it? - No. He's worse than any girl.

Let me see.

My face looks a bit awkward.

It's fine. What's wrong?

I don't like it.

My hand was in that shot.

I photobombed you.

Come on. I want one with just us two.

I'm going to take it home with me.

In two, three.

PHOTOBOMBED AGAIN

- Will you take that one? - Take the one you like.

Which one do you like?

- This one? - Yes.

I like that one too.

Then take this one.

- Why are you so picky? - I know, you're so picky.

I don't really like how I look either.

So do you like your outfit today?

Gosh, don't do that. If you ask that...

- You keep making me... - Should I not make jokes like this?

Other people seem to think

that I play rude jokes on you a lot.

They said that you were the only one who could handle them.

I think that's true.

That was out of the blue.

I'm the only one who would go along with it.

I know. Am I too playful?

No, you're just unique.

Not many people can understand your uniqueness.

If you're joking, but if the other person

takes it seriously, then it's not a joke anymore.

Right.

- I think Ji-young is a good sport. - Right.

They seem to have different personalities,

- but they're always together. - Yes.

- Wook draws you in. - I know.

That means they get along.

You smile from just looking at me.

For me,

I feel the most comfortable with you.

Right? I do too.

- Thank you. - You also said

that we had great banter together.

I thought so too.

I had fun talking to you,

going to the convenience store with you,

and hanging out with you.

Me too.

We did a lot in such a short period.

BEING PLAYFUL If that's true, why would we be friends?

There were a lot of confusing parts too.

And I still feel confused now.

I think it's a little unclear.

What is?

What is? Why?

I just feel unsure

about some of your actions.

I think it was on the first day

when we had coffee together.

But the next day,

I asked someone else out on a date.

So from her perspective, it could've been hard to understand.

I think that's what upset her a little.

You tapped me on the first day.

You poked at me.

But on the second day, you went poking around elsewhere.

What?

From my perspective, I thought, "Is that how it is?"

You had clearly flirted with me yesterday,

but not today.

And I even asked you in person.

- I didn't flirt with you today? - No!

What color is this?

I said I liked black.

You said you liked sky blue.

I said, "Sky blue is fine,

but I think I like black."

Look at the message you sent me.

Look at what you said.

BLACK OR SKY BLUE, PICK ONE! Gosh, I'm so upset.

- I know I'm right. - I'm really exasperated right now.

But why didn't you answer me?

SKY BLUE IS FINE BUT BLACK IS ALSO NOT BAD

I said it was "not bad."

But you said you liked sky blue.

Do you know why I didn't answer?

Because I wore sky blue.

Why didn't you reply? I don't like that.

That's something I really don't like.

Do you know how I feel?

I said it was not bad.

But after that, you didn't reply to me,

- and you wore this instead. - Between "like" and "not bad,"

isn't the former the better one?

The last one is the better one.

Then there was a misunderstanding.

But in any case, you didn't reply to my message.

I did my best from my point of view.

THE NEXT DAY

Why do you always take whatever I say that way?

Then do you think you speak to me in a way

that's easy to tell whether you're joking or not?

Don't talk to me.

- Why not? - I'm upset.

I can't go on like this.

Small misunderstandings may have been built up over time,

perhaps due to their conversation styles.

- They want things to become clearer. - Right.

Do you think Wook was able to do that?

To be honest, I don't feel so good about Wook and Ji-young.

I think it'll be hard.

Really? I saw it this way.

Wook has a childish side to him.

And Ji-young has a side that's like, "Okay, fine."

So I think she could be like, "Fine, Wook. I'll just come to you."

I think that's how it will turn out.

- That's similar - Me too.

- to how I feel. - Really?

These two make a great couple,

but I'm not sure

- how things will turn out. - Right.

- Hello. - You're here.

Why the formal greeting?

- Hello. - How awkward.

I thought I should...

Since this is the last date, I thought I should maintain tension.

Well...

When do we start? Do we start now?

I'll do it now.

Wait.

No, we don't have a lot of time.

LEE HYUNG-SEOK AND SHIN YOON-A'S DATE

- I feel so rushed. - I know.

I'm being rushed by the clock.

On the first day,

we didn't know about each other.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

FEELING AWKWARD

And on the second day,

- I was waiting for you again. - Right.

After we joined the company,

we had our first date the very next day.

And we're spending the last night together too.

So while I was waiting for you just now,

I felt kind of strange.

- In what way? - I just...

I'm spending both the beginning and the end with you.

I've been thinking about that the whole time.

You and I have made great memories together.

But you could change your mind in the end.

You never know.

Really? Is that how it is?

Of course. You can never know how a woman feels.

So I thought going on a date yesterday

was the best decision ever.

I felt like I was on a real date,

and I felt great.

Let's drink.

Cheers.

To spending the last evening together.

I'm going to take out my straw.

It tastes good.

It's even more perfect than yesterday. I love it.

I also thought the most important part

was the weekend date.

We could confirm that we do get along.

- If it weren't for that day... - It was just so funny, to be honest.

- I had fun the whole time. - Right.

- I love it. - I really love it.

- It's... - Honestly, today is perfect.

Same for me.

Couldn't you tell that I was truly happy?

All we said was how much we liked everything.

We barely talked.

And one thing I regret the most was that

I went to the couple's dormitory with Hye-bin to get to know her

since that was the only chance to do so.

I went because I thought it was my only chance.

That's my biggest regret.

If we had gone together,

we would've enjoyed everything there.

There were all sorts of alcohol that we like in the refrigerator.

- In the end, - All sorts.

I am leaving the company without having visited the dormitory.

That's why it's such a shame.

If we had just one more day here,

I would make a reservation no matter what

and go there with you.

But what can we do? That chance is gone now.

That's my biggest regret.

But you know, even as I spent time with others throughout the week,

I knew I would

go back to you in the end.

Because there's no one else I get along with as well as you.

But it really was so fascinating how well we got along.

Seriously, though.

I wasn't trying to get along with you on purpose.

Seriously.

In terms of alcohol, food,

and tastes,

I really didn't try to cater to you.

Same here.

But we both have very clear tastes in things.

You heard everything I said, right?

About what I said earlier.

I want to spend the beginning and the end with you.

You just have to remember the key points.

The beginning and the end.

- I'm serious. - It's like you're rapping.

Quick. I have to plant these words in your head.

- It's so funny. You're rapping. - What I meant was...

CHECKS THE TIME I couldn't understand you.

2 MINUTES LEFT What I meant was, we have to hurry.

I have to plant my words.

I'm not going to set the mood anymore.

I'm going to say what I want.

There are only two minutes left.

- Listen carefully. - He wants to plant his words in her head.

Our photos from the photo booth. You have them, right?

Think about our time together and look at it.

Look at the pictures.

Did you come to persuade me?

I sound like I'm making a sales pitch.

But make sure to look at the pictures.

Right when we hit the 29-minute mark,

let's say cheers once more and wrap up.

I didn't realize 30 minutes was so short.

I'm not sure if 30 minutes is normally this short

or if it feels short because I'm with someone fun and having good food.

It's because you're with someone you like.

We thought yesterday went by fast too.

- It was short and sweet. - Actually, I...

The Shin Yoon-a from the beginning

and the Shin Yoon-a at the end...

I would love it if you could be with me

in both of those moments.

- The last cheers. - Cheers.

- Good work today. - You too.

LEE HYUNG-SEOK AND SHIN YOON-A'S 30-MINUTE DATE COMES TO AN END

Bye, then.

The timer hasn't gone off, but you're telling me to go.

Don't we have a second or so left?

Let's meet looking our best tomorrow.

I'm going to look the best tomorrow.

- If you really do, I'll consider it. - I'm serious.

Bye.

The first couple was just so cute together.

These guys, on the other hand,

- are so friendly with each other. - Right.

If these two were to live together,

- I can picture in my mind - Right.

- how they will live together. - You can picture it.

You know how couples gain weight

because they have dinner and go for a drink

- and they end up eating some snacks? - Right.

- Those are such happy moments. - Right.

Hyung-seok, do you want to

keep seeing Yoon-a when we leave this place?

I do.

I do too.

I seriously do.

Ka-ya really is my ideal woman.

I can't say Yoon-a is the woman of my dreams,

but the point that made me fall for her was...

I really care about how a woman dresses.

I actually prefer how Ka-ya dresses.

Someone who wears full skirts,

like a dress or long skirt.

Having her hair tied up partially with an innocent vibe. That's what I like.

But Yoon-a wore that red dress

when we went to the pool.

"I love it when girls wear dresses."

I told her that I liked girls in dresses.

WHAT KIND OF STYLE DO YOU LIKE ON GIRLS?

DEEP IN THOUGHT

A FULL-LENGTH DRESS OR A LONG SKIRT

HER OUTFIT ON PICNIC DAY

She wore it right away.

I told her

that I loved it when she tied her hair up halfway.

I said she looked so pretty.

I kept looking at this.

AFTER THE PHOTOSHOOT

It's so cute.

I regretted tying my hair like that.

- Why? - It would've been better not to.

I love it when girls tie their hair up halfway.

- You do? - Yes, I love this style.

That's why when Ka-ya tied her hair up halfway,

- Right. - I thought she looked so pretty.

I like this style.

You have a clear style preference.

That's why she wore her hair like that today.

Hi.

It's cold today.

HALF-UP, HALF-DOWN HAIR

It feels like winter.

SEES HER HAIR Doing that for me

shows that she is paying attention

to the little things I say.

She styled herself in the way he mentioned.

- She remembered. - Right. That's touching.

Adjusting your style to the person you like

- is a very big thing for me. - Right.

I think their love is starting to blossom.

- Right. - That's important.

I think it's a little complicated.

I knew that I had to

make a judgment based on this last date.

Here comes Jung-bin.

She's here.

I feel like I'm going back and forth

between the two guys so much.

So I asked

both Sung-gyeol and Yeon-soo out on a date.

- Am I... - You should've taken off your badge.

- Oh, this? Right. - Yes.

I felt so nervous when I got here.

While I was waiting here, I felt like I couldn't breathe.

It's the most nervous I've been this week.

It's weird. Why am I nervous all of a sudden?

Have a lot of meat.

PARK JUNG-BIN AND JANG YEON-SOO'S DATE

Thank you.

- It has begun. - Okay.

PARK JUNG-BIN AND KIM SUNG-GYEOL'S DATE This is a very important time for us.

You're right. How was it?

You must've talked with more people by now.

- Yes. - What do you think?

- Simply put, - Yes?

it's complicated.

- Right. - My mind is a mess.

Did you know that I would end up like this?

- I mean... - Did I know this would happen?

- I met with Yeon-soo yesterday, right? - Right.

- I knew that. - Did you hear anything about it?

No, I didn't hear anything about it.

Because you told me

that you wanted to go on a date with someone else.

AFTER THE PHOTOSHOOT If I were to get another chance to date,

- I'll go with someone else. - Okay.

- I didn't hear anything. - When did you start to get that feeling?

Since Yeon-soo stopped talking to me.

- He didn't talk to you? - No.

I knew from that point.

I knew Yeon-soo had decided on you.

I knew.

So I got out of the way on purpose.

SUNG-GYEOL, YEON-SOO I also didn't talk to him on purpose.

And I tried to keep my distance too.

- I did that on purpose. - I see.

I also had something to do with Sung-gyeol today,

but we didn't talk even once.

He said you suddenly stopped talking to him.

That's how he knew about us.

Is that so?

I could tell that he felt uncomfortable around me.

Really?

Yes, I could feel his discomfort.

I wanted us to have a photo together since it's the end.

We took one.

I'm glad we got to take one.

But the funny thing is I didn't take a picture with Sung-gyeol.

- You didn't? - No.

I mean, I'm only human. I can't help but care.

Even when I'm with you, I sometimes get wary of him.

He sometimes looks over at us.

Where did everyone go?

SUNG-GYEOL I thought it could get serious.

READING THE ROOM

But that's that.

That's his business.

So what are you thinking now?

Shouldn't I know how you feel now?

I didn't know I'd be like this either.

- I kept choosing you. - Right.

We went on the first date together,

we had a date in Dongmyo,

and we talked at the couple's dormitory.

- I spent so much time with you. - Right.

To be totally honest,

I have so much affection for you now.

Right.

But I went on a date with Yeon-soo yesterday.

We spent the whole day together because it was the weekend.

We only went on one date,

but I felt something really significant.

I felt so much sincerity from him too.

He expressed to me

that he loved our date so much.

I had so much fun today.

Coming with you was a great decision.

I feel the same.

And I could really feel his sincerity.

Even when you don't have any feelings and someone says that to you,

- you start to pay more attention to them. - Yes, right.

And a date that was nothing special can be remembered as something great.

So it had a big impact on me.

Yes.

So I had been going back and forth.

- Good. - I'm being totally honest.

Good.

- Gosh, Sung-gyeol took a hit. - Oh, no.

- He looks so bitter. - He took a blow.

- Gosh. - He was hurt.

- He's not okay. - Oh, no.

This feels so unreal.

The tables have turned.

I know, it really has.

I told the others that we went bowling.

I said that I really tried to win but ended up losing.

- You told them? - Yes.

I did it!

- Did you tell them I was good? - I did.

It was definitely fun to talk to you.

I think I liked the energy and excitement

that I got from playing sports and spending the day with you.

So looking back, things turned out well.

I know.

So I thought, "I'm glad I went on that date."

I kept thinking that.

There was an unexpected twist.

At least for me.

I didn't know you were like that.

We should've had more times like that.

If we had gone on a date sooner,

it could've been nice.

- Things might have been clearer. - Yes.

It couldn't be helped.

Because in a way, it was the same for me.

From the beginning to yesterday's date,

I chose you the whole time.

There was no one else.

But you talked to many other people.

I didn't.

- Even if it wasn't for dates. - I didn't.

People are mistaken about this.

I've heard other people that I was flirting with others.

I have never done that.

Actually,

I didn't want to meet with anyone else.

But you said you wanted to, so that's what I did.

It might sound harsh,

but I think that's where things started to get twisted.

I think that was it.

I wanted to go on a date with you too.

And the date with Hye-bin was my first date with someone else.

- Right? - Yes.

And for me,

my date with Hye-bin didn't have that big of an impact on me.

The way he talks is really interesting.

"It's because you did that. That's why I did this."

The way he's summarizing it that way is quite interesting.

It's like, "You created this situation.

And I just let you do what you wanted."

You said you felt something deep with Yeon-soo.

You said that, right?

But even then,

I can't say we have a deep connection when we only went on one date.

But I did get that feeling even if it was a tiny bit.

Yes, you could feel that way.

It doesn't matter if you were swayed.

It didn't matter to me if you felt something with him

and became swayed by that.

It doesn't matter if we don't become a couple.

I don't mind.

I'm curious about something.

What is the difference between Sung-gyeol and me?

You're similar but very different at the same time.

You're very different people.

So I think that's why...

I'm having such a hard time deciding.

When I'm talking to Sung-gyeol and when I'm talking to you,

I felt that the depth of the conversation was different.

Compared to Sung-gyeol,

you seem to be very genuine.

And you also have a cheerful side too.

I thought you had a very good balance.

By the way, weren't you speaking casually with me yesterday?

Are you setting boundaries with me?

No, I'm not.

- Why was I trying to make a toast? - No, we should.

Let's start with a glass of water.

Jung-bin looks so comfortable here.

You can see the emotions on her face.

The thing is,

you approach me

saying you want to talk.

But you don't say anything and just sit there.

Then I don't know how to start.

No, I talked too.

You didn't.

So I asked you,

"Didn't you want to talk to me?"

And then you say you forgot.

Do you want to ask me something?

No, I don't. I just...

I forgot.

Didn't you want to say something yesterday?

- There was something. - I forgot.

- You forgot again? - Yes.

You say that when you feel like you're at a disadvantage.

I was actually upset about that.

Someone who really forgot wouldn't say it like that.

I probably ended up saying it later.

What? That you thought I was rude?

I still don't know what you thought was rude.

You should've elaborated.

But you just said that I was rude and that was it.

Did I do something that was rude?

I like that our conversations have some kind of depth.

Yes, I love that about our conversations too.

When we talk, we don't say meaningless things.

We just...

Right? Why is that?

That was something I was worried about.

When I talk to Sung-gyeol,

it somehow feels very meaningless.

So, I...

I feel like you and I keep talking

only about our feelings.

I think that's such a shame.

What feelings?

Perhaps our pent-up feelings?

We keep trying to do that.

I have never talked about this stuff with Hye-bin.

And when I

send you messages,

you reply after a long time.

Or you read it and don't respond, but suddenly send me a bunch of stuff.

But then,

you must have messaged others too.

No, I...

- You were pretty much the only one. - Really?

It was the same for me too.

I haven't really messaged Yeon-soo that much.

I only replied to what he said and ended the conversation quickly.

I didn't try to keep the conversation going

- or anything like that. - So...

Things must feel different between you and him.

The way you guys talk.

Because you talk about this stuff with me,

and you probably talk about fun stuff with him.

- With Yeon-soo? - Yes.

Why does this happen? Because with Yeon-soo,

I wasn't trying to do that on purpose.

I think it just naturally happens.

But that's what I think is a shame.

Why do we always have to talk about stuff like this?

I want to talk about fun stuff too.

- You're right. - Right.

That's the truth.

But that must mean

that we have that much affection for one another.

That must be why we only talk about this kind of stuff.

So are you still thinking about your final decision?

I am

close to making a decision.

- What's with the smile? - Almost.

That's where I'm at.

I've almost made up my mind.

- Almost? - Yes.

- So, Sung-gyeol... - Yes?

I want to know

how you really feel.

- You want to hear how I feel? - Yes.

I also had chances to go to the couple's dormitory with other people.

But I didn't.

It just didn't feel right.

What didn't feel right?

It bothered me.

It bothered me.

I don't know what to do either.

To be honest,

I do have feelings for you.

And like I've said in our previous talks,

that hasn't changed.

Gosh, this feels a little...

- Jung-bin's being swayed. - Right.

Gosh, her gaze has changed.

I think I always told you that.

I told you that it was nine to one.

Yes.

But even when I heard that,

I thought, "So how does he feel?"

I think I felt that today too.

- "How does he feel?" - So...

What kind of decision will you make?

I think I was just confused.

Well, that's...

Even if you choose someone else, and I choose you,

we can't do anything about that.

How does it seem to you?

Do you think Sung-gyeol will choose you?

Based on our talk, I think he will.

- Did you feel that for sure? - I think he will.

- Sung-gyeol? - Yes, Sung-gyeol.

- Sung-gyeol will choose you? - Yes.

- But we really did become so close. - I...

Now that we've gotten past those emotions,

affection seems to play a big factor.

I said the same thing to Hye-bin too.

I said affection is a scary thing and I can't help it.

Anyway, that was it.

PARK JUNG-BIN AND KIM SUNG-GYEOL'S 30-MINUTE DATE COMES TO AN END

Anyway, that's 30 minutes.

PARK JUNG-BIN AND JANG YEON-SOO'S 30-MINUTE DATE COMES TO AN END

Let's go. Sir, we'll be heading out.

I have to stay here.

What will you talk about?

Probably nothing much. I don't know.

I think the others will have more to say to me than I do to them.

Have a good conversation, Mr. Popular.

Mr. Popular.

- Have a safe trip back. - Okay.

- Get back safe. - Bye.

How does Jung-bin feel?

I know.

I honestly think

- Jung-bin likes Sung-gyeol. - Yes.

And I think she wants to get rid of those memories.

Yes, it feels that way.

- She keeps trying to find more meaning. - Right.

Maybe that's why she keeps talking about that stuff when she meets with Yeon-soo.

- I think so too. - So she's talking to them,

but she doesn't seem

- comfortable with either of them. - Right.

- Have a seat. - This place is nice.

Why did I get so nervous while waiting for you?

- Really? - Yes, I felt...

- You were nervous? - Yes, I was.

JANG YEON-SOO AND SONG DAN-A'S DATE We don't have much time.

- We have one day left now. - Yes.

How do you feel? Did you have a change of heart?

- A change of heart? - Yes.

What about you? What do you think of Jung-bin?

From what I can tell,

Jung-bin isn't 100 percent set on Sung-gyeol.

- She's not? - No.

I see.

- I-- - You mean it could be you?

I'm not so sure. But you never know.

What did you feel? Do you think Jung-bin likes you a lot?

She kept asking me yesterday.

MORNING AFTER WEEKEND DATE What do I do?

I don't know what I should do.

But everyone is interested in you.

You shouldn't worry about that.

I don't know.

And then she went on a date with you.

Is that why she asked me?

She asked me on the day of the date and only a few hours before at that.

To be clear, I didn't assume you'd be waiting for me

while I went and flirted with others.

I respect you as your own person, and I respect her the same way.

But if things won't work out, I wanted them to be clear.

There's no need to waste energy. It was the same for me with Jung-bin too.

And when I saw Jung-bin's votes so far, they were all for Sung-gyeol.

So I said there's no point if you voted for only one guy, but she disagreed.

Anyway, we don't have much time left.

Let's stop talking nonsense. Stop talking about other people.

AWKWARD

To be honest,

I did think that you could be swayed.

We just don't know.

Of course, we don't.

That's the same for both of us.

But I don't really trust men easily.

I have a fear of being betrayed.

I found myself getting anxious as the last day approached.

The day kind of crept up on me, but...

Let's just go with how we feel now.

Is that what you want to do?

You go with how you feel,

and I will go with how I feel.

No, I think you have your charming points.

You do.

I told you before.

I know you to a certain degree and you know me too.

- We always did this. - Wasn't it this?

SONG DAN-A AND JANG YEON-SOO'S 30-MINUTE DATE COMES TO AN END

So Yeon-soo didn't say how he felt.

He pretty much didn't say anything.

Right. What does he mean by "Let's go with how we feel?"

"You do what you want. I'll do what I want."

- That means, "I might not choose you. - Right.

I might choose Jung-bin.

- I'll go with how I feel." - He was insinuating that.

He didn't give her any certainty.

But that's more than not giving her certainty.

It actually has a bit of a negative nuance.

That's right.

There are so many different ways of

- making the final decision too. - But you never know.

- Someone might change their mind. - That could be true.

- That could be why they said that. - Right.

But just from watching this...

Dan-a.

What is this? Are we bros?

SONG DAN-A AND KIM SUNG-GYEOL'S DATE I like the place you chose.

- Is this your first date today? - It's my second.

- You met with Yeon-soo first? - Yes.

How did you feel after meeting with Yeon-soo?

He said he'd just go with how he feels now.

He wants to keep going with this feeling tomorrow too.

- I doubt that. - That's what he said.

- I doubt that. - Why?

Jung-bin didn't think that way.

He was very honest with me.

That wasn't what Jung-bin felt from him.

- She could feel that way. - Apparently, he expressed himself a lot.

What about you?

How do you feel? Who did you like in the beginning?

Jung-bin.

Right.

And how did you feel after meeting her?

Complicated.

But...

one thing is certain.

I have no regrets.

Cheers. You have no regrets?

No.

Even if Jung-bin chooses someone else, I don't think I'd have any regrets.

Yes.

And honestly,

when we talk, I talk about a lot of stuff comfortably

- and we laugh about it, right? - Yes.

I can't laugh about things with Jung-bin.

Why not?

- You don't get it, do you? - No.

The moment Jung-bin stepped in here, the air felt like

- it got weighed down. - Why?

And your hands aren't shaking, are they?

My hands don't shake when I'm meeting you either.

But both of us were...

- Why? - I don't know the reason.

- What is that? - And we don't smile.

Why is that?

We couldn't even eat.

- You must've been very nervous. - Yes.

- I wonder - Yes?

if Jung-bin and I will be able to

enjoy fun banter with each other.

Our feelings get in the way.

It's uncomfortable.

I mean,

why should our hands be shaking when we're with someone we like?

Stop talking about another girl.

- Try to have some tact, will you? - Gosh.

Why are all these guys so tactless? My goodness.

Anyway...

That's kind of annoying. What do you think you're doing?

- Gosh, I'm sorry. - Anyway...

- Dan-a's personality is so impressive. - Right.

She's bursting with charm. She's so honest.

Dan-a has to get matched up with someone too.

Today's decision is really important.

Hye-bin said that she wanted to talk to me one last time.

Depending on the conversation today,

I think it could be someone entirely new.

Yes.

Hi.

Hang on. Start.

KIM HYE-BIN AND KIM SUNG-GYEOL'S DATE

- I'm very-- - Do you want some water?

- Sorry? - Sorry?

- Do you want water? - Nothing. Okay.

The problem is...

I'm nervous right now.

You're nervous? Why?

- I was nervous with two people. - Okay.

With someone before, and now with you.

Did your dates go well?

- With the other girls? - Yes.

So I said this.

The ultimate boss is coming.

Gosh. Really.

The beginning and the end have such a big impact.

Don't be nervous. Just relax.

The 30 minutes have a bigger impact than you think.

That's why I came here.

I didn't think you'd come.

- Me? - I didn't think you'd choose me.

Because of what I said yesterday and how I acted.

Am I right in the middle?

Yes, I told you. You're in the middle.

But I can't help it.

I think affection is a scary thing.

I'm in second place?

I don't like this.

No...

Did you perhaps hope I wouldn't... Well, I mean--

- No, I wanted you to come. - So...

Did you say that to me

because you wanted to express yourself to me in a definite way?

- No, it wasn't like that. - Then were you just being honest?

Yes, I was just being honest.

I didn't want to put up a wall with you,

or say, "You're not it." That wasn't it.

I was just being honest.

Because I don't like flirting with several women at once.

But you're the big flirt of Paju.

They've made me out to be a weird person.

I have...

- You flirt with everyone. - never been flirty.

You're amazing.

Compared to when he was with Jung-bin,

- he's so different. - He really is.

- But he seems more comfortable now. - Right.

I tried not to talk to you today on purpose.

But it was the same for me.

- Right? I thought so. - Yes.

- Why? Did you keep an eye on me? - Yes.

I kept watching you too.

You kept sitting in a corner.

Do you know what's funny?

I watched you more than Jung-bin.

Why do you care so much about me?

Just relax.

You keep catching my attention.

I had made up my mind

to have a serious conversation.

But rather than a serious conversation,

I want to just relax and chat.

- With me? - Yes.

But I'm going to have a serious conversation today.

Relax? No way. I'm going to be serious today.

Okay. Go ahead.

I'll hear you out.

But rather than telling you how I feel,

I wanted to hear your side.

I'll tell you.

Perhaps, how you felt after our date

or what you thought today

while you avoided talking to me?

When you came to the emergency stairs to see me,

do you know that my eyes got bloodshot?

- Your eyes got bloodshot? Why? - Yes.

WOBBLY I suddenly felt dizzy.

It was very stimulating.

You like stimulating stuff too much.

You're right.

You're a bit weird.

- Why? - Are you a pervert?

- I could be a pervert. - You seem like a pervert.

That's just what I like. What can I do?

It was thrilling.

You were just constantly on my mind.

- That means you liked me. - Yes.

So I was afraid of this moment with you.

Enjoy this fear as much as you want.

I will make you forget about everything that happened prior to this.

You're fun to be with.

Even when I try to talk about serious stuff,

it doesn't get too serious between us and I like that.

That's my charm.

Do you know what Jung-hoon said in our house?

What?

"Someone who can sway Kim Sung-gyeol has appeared."

I'm the ultimate boss. Call me that from now on.

I like that.

By the way, do you feel comfortable with me?

Yes.

I feel comfortable with you too.

I bet you don't.

Then what? Should I be uncomfortable?

You're nervous.

Gosh, it's hot.

It's because you're wearing a sweater.

No, this is the first time I've felt hot here.

- Really? - Yes.

Don't feel too pressured.

No, I don't feel pressured.

But you said you were hot.

That's not why I felt hot.

- Really? Was it because of me? - Yes.

That's right.

I must be stimulating.

This is fun.

I think I've done everything I wanted to.

- You think so? - Yes.

You know how I am.

I don't back off. I just keep going forward.

Sung-gyeol, you should watch out.

- I'll knock on your door. - He thinks he won't fall for it.

Who else is as straightforward as I am?

- No one. - Exactly.

I don't hide anything.

So I don't regret anything.

I don't know about you though.

Think hard about it tonight.

I did think that

I could make a decision after meeting you.

I had a slight feeling just now.

But that could change by tomorrow.

Sure.

You were a good ultimate boss.

KIM HYE-BIN AND KIM SUNG-GYEOL'S 30-MINUTE DATE COMES TO AN END

- I'm off. See you tomorrow. - Okay.

It'll probably be tomorrow, right?

I think so. We probably won't see each other tonight.

This is really...

emotionally difficult.

There are so many emotions going back and forth.

I didn't think this would be hard.

But it wore me out.

I really don't know.

I don't know.

- Let's get that one too. - Okay.

How do I turn this off?

How do I...

I got it.

What do I do?

- At the top left here. - I see.

- Like that. - I see.

There.

That's done.

Do you know that?

We can look at our HR files in the security room.

- Our HR files? - Yes.

- We can see someone's past experiences - The details...

and stuff like that.

We can look at them one by one. You should go...

- Me? - Do you want to go in and look first?

- I'm going in. - Okay. I'll wait here.

I'll just look around here some more.

This is my first time here.

We can see everything from here.

Who will Jung-bin look up?

This is the most important.

Will she look up Sung-gyeol?

- I know. Will she look up Yeon-soo? - Or will she look up Yeon-soo?

- Or will she look up Sung-gyeol? - Is it Sung-gyeol or Yeon-soo?

KIM SUNG-GYEOL

JANG YEON-SOO

Who did she pick?

JANG YEON-SOO I looked up Yeon-soo's HR file.

I was the most curious about him

and we were on night duty together.

Hey.

I got it.

What do you mean?

- I have a good feeling about them. - Me too.

- I do feel bad for Dan-a though. - Right.

It was so much fun.

Jung-bin threw a blow at me.

And then Dan-a showed up.

What an unexpected threat.

She seriously

- Did she toy with you? - toyed with me.

Oh, my gosh!

And at the end,

- the ultimate boss. - Hye-bin.

She came in and said, "You're done for."

She came prepared.

Gosh, there's only one guy who isn't smiling.

Don't you have any mixed emotions?

No, I feel very clear-headed now.

- Really? - Yes, totally.

- Do you feel relieved? - Yes, I do.

I was considering three people.

Jung-bin, Dan-a, and Ji-young.

- Ji-young. - But with Ji-young,

things just didn't work out.

Things just didn't go our way,

no matter what we tried to do and we couldn't even meet up.

Have you decided?

NODDING

- I'm so curious. - He has decided.

All of the employees in the showroom task force team

have been given 100,000 won for the day.

Isn't this the last payment then?

- Yes, this is important. - It is.

MEMO: HAS YOUR WISH BEEN REGISTERED?

MEMO: HAS YOUR WISH BEEN REGISTERED? TOTAL AMOUNT: 400,000 WON

- Yeon-soo must've decided on Jung-bin. - Right.

NO TRANSFERS TODAY

Dan-a didn't get anything today. Oh, no.

But she thought Yeon-soo was voting for her earlier.

- What? - Come on.

That's not it.

Yeon-soo is a scary guy.

- A really scary guy. - Yes, but...

QUICK TURN A really scary guy.

Are you done?

GLANCING OVER

GLANCING OVER

- I'm going to wash up. - Okay.

Right. We need to wash up too.

The subtle smile.

Seriously, he's such a scary guy.

THE GUY WHO WAS SITTING HERE

THE SCARY GUY

Two girls came to see me.

Jung-bin and Dan-a came to me in that order.

Jung-bin said this to me.

Yeon-soo expressed that he liked her a lot.

But I went on a date with Yeon-soo yesterday.

He expressed to me

that he loved our date so much.

And he told me how he felt about me too.

And I could really feel his sincerity.

But then Dan-a said,

"He's going to go with how he first felt and choose me."

How did you feel after meeting with Yeon-soo?

He said he wants to go with how he feels now.

He wants to keep going with this feeling tomorrow too.

- I doubt that. - That's what he said.

Who am I supposed to believe?

I told Jung-bin

that I don't think things will really change

because of the 30 minutes we spend today.

That's what I think, although I don't know what might happen.

I said it was nine to one.

Jung-bin is nine and Hye-bin is one.

This is our last night.

So how do you feel? Have you decided?

The more we talk, the more I realize he's the opposite of me.

He feels similar in some ways but different in others.

The way Sung-gyeol talks

is mostly about promoting himself.

As we keep talking,

the conversation naturally flows to make himself sound good.

But when I talk to Yeon-soo,

the conversation has more meaning

and there's sincerity.

Right, Yeon-soo is totally honest.

He is.

He's honest and also serious.

And he's not leaning toward anyone in particular.

He has a sense of humor too.

His personality is exactly what I like.

There's a lot to learn from him.

But...

- I don't know. - You must like bad boys too.

I think so.

I don't know.

You have a lot on your mind, right?

I did, but I'm not going to think about it.

I'll just do whatever I feel like and that'll be it.

I don't know.

- It really is the last day. - Yes, it's the last day.

- Yes. - It really is.

Let's work hard today.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

YOU RUN TO ME THROUGH THE LONG NIGHT

HOW I FEEL AS I WAIT FOR YOU
