W. 5pm
After the meal, the participants cleared their plates and went to the living room.
They sat together in a crowded place.
It was a time when laughter was still mixed with awkwardness.
🔔 Dingdong—!
Suddenly, the doorbell rang at the front door.
Everyone turned their heads at the same time and exchanged surprised looks.
Jeongguk stood up first and said.
“Oh, what is it? Do we have anything to get today?”
Da-a shook her head and smiled.
“No... I don’t think there are any... Should we go?”
Eventually, Jungkook and Daa headed to the front door together, and a little while later, they came in carrying two large boxes.
Soobin said with her eyes wide open.
“Wow, that’s a really big box. What is this?”
Jeongguk put it down, looking puzzled.
“Something is rattling a little bit...”
Da-a laughed and added to the joke.
“Isn’t this a gift? The production team is having a Christmas party for us.
I guess they'll open it~"
When everyone looked at the box with excited eyes, Hoseok opened the envelope
I took one out.
“There’s a letter here!”
💌
Dear participants, we will now begin a special gift game.
Inside the box
“Gifts for Women” Chosen by Men
"Gifts for Men" Chosen by Women
This is included.
Please choose a gift that appeals to you.
Each person receiving the gift will be given one date.
After selecting a gift, please notify the production team via text message.
Everyone is momentarily still.
Then Da-a burst into laughter in a small voice.
“Oh my… Are we going to choose who we’re going to date from now on?”
Jimin nodded and raised the corners of his mouth.
“I think so. This is secretly making my heart race.”
Yunseo blushed and clasped her hands together.
“How, I’m so nervous”
Hoseok said playfully.
"This is your first date? I bet it'll be memorable."
Suin smiled and agreed.
“Then I will be more careful when choosing something. Something small
I think I will end up giving meaning to even one thing.”
Yunki nodded and said.
“Good. Shall we begin then?”
Women hold pink boxes, men hold blue boxes
Each person went to their room.
-Choose a gift for the girl's room- 🩷
Inside the pink gift box are mini candles, lip balm, hand cream, and a watch.
The mufflers were neatly arranged.
Soobin smiled as she reached out and picked up a small mini candle.
“This is really pretty… but I have no idea who chose it
I don't know."
On the other side, Jiwon tilted his head and smiled.
“Me too. The mini candles caught my eye….”
The two men stared at each other for a moment, studying each other's expressions. The air was a mixture of tension and playfulness.
Subin looked at the mini candle and closed her eyes with a slightly regretful look.
He blinked and smiled.
“Um… Then, would you like to take this, Jiwon? I’ll take something else.
I'll choose."
Jiwon opened his eyes wide in surprise, paused for a moment, and then spoke softly.
I smiled.
“Really? Is that okay?”
Soobin shrugged her shoulders slightly and smiled playfully.
“Of course! There are many other pretty things too~”
With that one small concession, the air in the room becomes much softer,
An atmosphere of smiling and slightly conscious of each other flowed.
To the point where you can barely hear the conversations of other participants
Yunseo, who had been concentrating, quietly picked up the hand cream.
Da-ah, who had been quietly watching Yun-seo's choice, smiled slightly.
asked.
“Yoonseo, are you going to use hand cream?”
Yunseo looked at Daa and smiled slightly.
“Yes… I have dry hands, so I forgot to bring it. But I just needed it… If anyone else wants hand cream, I’ll give it to you.”
In Yoonseo's voice, which added hesitantly at the end of the sentence, she also
I felt regretful that I had said it in a hurry without realizing it.
Suin said, waving her hand affectionately.
“Oh, no, no! It’s okay. You can take it.”
Only then did Yunseo smile in relief.
Da-ah said, lifting the watch with a playful expression.
“Haha, then can I take the watch?”
Suin smiled brightly and nodded.
“Oh, of course! Of course~”
Soobin looked through the remaining lip balm and muffler in the box that was almost empty, and chose the lip balm as she spoke.
“I think lip balm is good! Suin, automatically the muffler is
Are you okay?
Suin waved her hand and answered softly.
“Oh, of course! Who knows who picked these things anyway?
That's why. Haha"
A warm and gentle laughter flowed through the room, a mixture of small choices and considerations for one another.
-Choosing a gift for the men's room- 💙
As soon as Jungkook entered the room, he boldly grabbed a couple cup.
I picked it.
In the box, including the items that Jungkook picked up,
There were gloves, bookmarks, socks, key rings, and couple cups.
Jungkook looked at the participants and said.
“I just picked it up because it felt good. Seokjin, you should hurry too
Choose, or you'll lose everything good?
Seokjin smiled and reached out to pick up the gloves.
“That’s right. I should get it quickly...”
Hoseok asked Yoongi.
"Mr. Yoongi, what would you like to choose? There's not much left."
Yunki looked at the box for a moment and then said playfully.
“Hmm… I like this keychain. It’s practical, too.”
Hoseok smiled and extended his hand.
“Oh, the keychain is nice. Then I should pick something out quickly.”
Jungkook playfully picked up the couple cup he had chosen first.
I looked at Seokjin.
“Seokjin, do you want to be a cup couple with me today? Haha.”
Seokjin smiled while holding a glove in his hand.
“Uh… well, a couple cup… that’s okay, but gloves too
“I’ll just settle for gloves since I need them.”
At this time, Yoon-ki gave Ho-seok the remaining bookmark and Christmas stocking.
I laughed at seeing you worrying.
"The bookmark is nice, too. I think it'll be useful for someone reading a good book next time."
Ho-seok said with a slightly sullen yet playful tone.
“But next time, I should catch something better first.
“Be bold like Jungkook!”
Jungkook smiled as he lifted the couple cup.
“Boldness is key! Haha, I’m looking forward to tomorrow morning~”
Yoongi smiled at Jimin.
“Jimin, what are you going to choose? Actually, now it’s just socks
But I left it behind"
Jimin glanced inside the box for a moment and smiled slightly.
“Haha, that’s right. You’re all fast.”
And after a moment of silence, he watched the other participants choose their items, then picked up the last remaining sock and said.
“Well then… I’ll do this. Who will be my partner tomorrow morning?
I'm looking forward to it."
Yoongi nodded and smiled.
“That’s right. Even if everyone chooses as they please, in the end
“Because it’s random.”
Jungkook said, shaking the couple cup slightly once more.
“Who chose this couple cup? The matching is already tomorrow.
Aren't you curious? I'm excited~"
Hoseok and Yoongi burst out laughing, and Jimin looked at them expectantly, lightly touching his socks.
When everyone had chosen their gifts and left messages for the production team
Around that time, a group text message arrived on the screen from the production crew.
📲 The name of the person you liked today and the text you want to send
Please send it. 📲
In an instant, the living room was filled with a strange tension.
Some people stared at the screen with their fingertips trembling slightly, while others
A nervous smile appeared on his lips.
Soobin glanced at Jiwon, who was sitting next to him, and whispered softly
Said.
“Did you see the text? Are you going to send it right away, Jiwon?”
Jiwon scratched his head and smiled slightly.
“Well… I’m a bit hesitant to send it right away. But still, one person
It comes to mind.”
Da-ah muttered playfully while looking at Su-in.
“This… I think it’ll be embarrassing if my choice is found out later…”
Suin added with a slight smile after hearing Da-ah's words.
“So… what should I do…?”
Yunseo quietly rubbed her fingers holding the hand cream.
I moved my body to the corner of the sofa.
“Who should I send it to… I’m really nervous…”
It was a small whisper, but there was excitement and worry in the voice.
It was buried.
Meanwhile, in the men's room
Hoseok glanced at Jimin with a playful look in his eyes
Said.
“This is secretly making my heart race. I wonder who chose whom.
You don't know, right? Because it's anonymous."
Jungkook pretended to be calm, shaking the couple cup slightly,
I couldn't hide my excitement inside.
“Yes. Just say whatever you want to say to him today.”
Meanwhile, Yoongi sat on the sofa and quietly stared at his phone screen.
Yoongi paused for a moment without saying a word, then turned away from the surrounding gazes and noise.
I sent the text without hesitation, without caring.
“ ...... ”
Seokjin also stood there lost in thought and was the second of the men to send a text message.
“ ..... ”
In their silence, there is a strangely resolute and calm confidence
I felt it.
Each person checked their screen several times, and with excitement and a little nervousness, they chose the person they liked and pressed the send button.
As the text message was sent with a “ding—” sound, the house felt strangely…
A breathless silence flowed.
