The morning air was calmer than expected.
The story about the text messages from last night
No one brought it out.
It felt like the rule of this house.
However, somewhere
There was a clear undercurrent of being slightly more conscious of each other.
After lunch,
The bell rang.
Ding dong
The mission has arrived.
📬 Today, the female participants write down one [keyword] that describes themselves.
The male contestants will choose a date partner based on keywords.
The keyword is anonymous.
The air in the living room changed instantly.
“Keywords?”
Wonyoung smiled.
This looks fun.
I accepted the paper.
Words that describe me.
My mind became complicated.
Comfort.
scruple.
Incomplete.
I thought for a moment
I wrote it briefly.
Start over.
The moment the keyword was chosen,
My heart started racing for no reason.

The male cast members gathered in the living room.
Four keyword cards were placed on the table.
Start again
assurance
Familiarity
change
Taesan looked at the card first.
Who is the certainty?
Jaehyun silently scanned the card.
Start over.
He read in a low voice.
The voice stopped for just a moment.

Q. Which keywords caught your eye?
… Starting over.
If I had to say a reason,
That word is a bit familiar to me.
But since I don't know who that is,
I was actually more worried.
Time was given to make a choice.
Taesan spoke first.
I'll have this one.
The card he chose was certainty.
I was curious who this was.
Jaehyun's hand
It slowly stopped on a card.
change.
A brief silence.
He eventually picked up the card.
I'll have this one.
An indifferent face.
But the gaze was for just a very brief moment,
It brushed past me.

A moment later, a vibration.
✉️ 4 PM, ○○ Cafe.
paragraph.
That is all.
I grabbed my coat.
When passing by the living room
I made eye contact with Jaehyun.
I'll be right back.
"huh."
He answered briefly.
The expression was unreadable.
cafe.
The person sitting opposite was Seongchan.
I chose it.
He smiled awkwardly.
“I was curious… about the start.”
"why?"
It looked like there was a story behind it.
He didn't ask any more questions.
A person who doesn't cross the line even if they want to ask.
So it was comfortable.

Q. Why did you choose ‘Start Over’?
That word caught my eye.
It feels a bit like a lingering attachment,
It feels like courage, too.
I didn't know who wrote it...
When I actually met them, it seemed more complicated than I thought.
Meanwhile, another cafe.
Jaehyun was sitting across from Haerin.
I thought a change was necessary.
He said.
“To whom?”
Haerin asked.
Jaehyun paused for a moment.
“…To me.”
Short answer.
After that, I spoke less.

Q. Why did you choose ‘change’?
Starting over is…
I don't think it's the right time right now.
The reason I came here isn't to go back to the past.
I thought change was a more accurate word.
But now that I've actually made the choice,
It is getting a bit complicated.

lodging.
People returned after a time gap.
I don't know who met whom.
just,
Someone has a bright expression, and
Someone is quiet, and
Someone is pretending that nothing is wrong.
Taesan glances at me.
How was it?
It was fine.
That must have been fun.
He laughed, but,
The snow was not light.
▶ Interview Room – Taesan
Q. Yeoju went on a date with someone else.
It bothers me.
It would be a lie to say it isn't used.
But I…
I plan to keep choosing it.
Because that is my way.
dinner.
Living room sofa.
Jaehyun sat next to me.
wee,
The silence was long.
It was Holy Communion.
He spoke in a low voice.
"yes."
How was it?
It was fine.
He nodded.
That's a relief.
That again.
Fortunately.
But today
It had a slightly different nuance.
▶ Interview Room – Yeoju
Q. Are you concerned about Jaehyun?
… while not making a choice,
I don't understand why they say that.
Saying that you chose change.
Then you can just worry a little less about me, too.
But keeps,
Our eyes meet.

✉️ Who made your heart flutter today?
I stared at the screen for a long time.

It became more complicated with just one word.
In the end, Han Tae-san.
forwarding.
A short while later.
✉️ Your X did not choose you.
Jaehyun did not choose me again today.
And yet—
The word he chose,
The change kept swirling in my head.
That change
Is it really directed at himself?
or not-
Is it directed at me?
