When Taehyung broke the news to everyone that he is still here, he was met with positive responses. Many were delighted that he was still here because Taehyung has been here since day 1 so it was nice to have him around.

Seeing Luna's face fall but then a smile coming up on her face made him a bit sad. It was unfair to her, he won't lie but it's what the audience decided. Though she made it clear that she wasn't mad about it or anything before she left the Villa forever, telling him he deserved to be here and her journey ended the second she saw Jimin sitting there with Julliette.

It was awfully sad and almost everyone cried when she was leaving. In the end she even hugged Jimin, telling him to be happy and she will also try to move on from him. They had nice weeks together and she will learn to let go of it. Jimin apologizes again before she gets inside the car.

Joohyun was sobbing so hard because of her departure but when she saw Taehyung didn't have to leave she literally cried more but this time it was tears of happiness.

Jumping into his arms and hugging him for a minute straight. Taehyung laughed at her, trying to calm her down but he was truly touched by it. He knows Joohyun is one of the few people he can trust here and calls her a true friend.

It was such a sweet moment for them. It makes him wonder if she still likes him. Not that it matters to him, He wouldn't ever be able to give those feelings back to her because he's too in love with Jeongguk, he can't function without that man.

Talking about him, Jeongguk almost kissed him on the lips when he got the news. He still got a kiss on the forehead so that was really nice. The wide grin with his bunny teeth showing and the happy tears in his eyes, He doesn't think anyone was more happy that Jeongguk that day that he was staying.

Now Jeongguk didn't have to leave either. They will have to be here and pretend to not be romantically involved with each other again. It sure is tiring but they have to do this just for a few more weeks. They are reaching an end soon, so the end isn't too far now.

They haven't talked about it though, the main reason why they even 'broke up' in first place was because Taehyung was too focused on the game, When he was going home like he had stopped thinking about his whole plan but everything was over, he can leave tomorrow and love Jeongguk freely but now he's trapped here again.

Unfortunately, he can not, not prioritize the show. His goal to reach the end is back on but he knows he needs to compromise. Making Jeongguk feel unloved is the last thing he wants to do. He doesn't care about anyone else more than that man.

So they will eventually need to talk about it when they get time. Preferably tomorrow tonight because the day was almost over anyways, they can clear this out and Taehyung can think of something new to do because his last strategy definitely failed.

The fact he has an audience on his side is a good sign, now he just needs to stay relevant. He is single and that's the fastest way you can lose relevance in a dating show. So he needs to think fast and start making moves but after he discusses this thing with Jeongguk.

He doesn't want to betray him and he is expecting the same from the man. After their lovely night together in each other's arms, embracing like they never had before truly changed something in him. Taehyung felt livelier and more motivated than ever. He got this shit under his control.

Rest of his day wasn't too eventful, he was celebrating his stay in the Villa and in the night, the Villa had a movie night planned so everyone was cuddled up in the lounge. Most people on the sofa bed and others just sitting on bean bags and chairs, they dragged from outside and other rooms.

Taehyung was on the bed in the corner, He was sitting in the middle of Jeongguk and Jin. While Jeongguk was next to Sooyoung, she kept his distance from him.

They haven't really been even talking ever since Casa Amor ended. It's like the sparks that were there then have now vanished into thin air. He won't lie, he's happy it turned out like that, Sooyoung clearly never stood a chance because Jeongguk truly didn't like her like that.

She broke him once and he wasn't going to let her use him again. Instead he used her to make Taehyung jealous and realize some of his own hidden feelings. They broke up because of her too but now they are back and stronger than ever.

Sooyoung doesn't stand a chance and it looks like she's slowly becoming aware of it. So yeah she was now all over him, instead it was Taehyung who had Jeongguk's arm on his shoulder as his head was on the younger boy's chest. He was peacefully laying his big blanket over all of them.

Truly so comfortable, It was dark and the only light that was coming was from the horror movie,incantation, on the TV. It was a pretty scary movie, Taehyung was just flinching along with Everyone else and even some screams were heard from girls mostly whenever a jump scared him.

The opportunity to do something naughty was there but he let it rest for today, they had enough fun yesterday. So soon after the movie ended, they called it a night.

"Do you think I should warn Namjoon hyung?" Jeongguk asked, putting on his sunglasses on this sunny day,sitting on bean bags with Taehyung and Jimin.

"About what?"

"Nabi." He said and he really didn't have to sit more.

"Why? I mean sure but like what will you gain out of that?" Jimin asked him. Taehyung wanted to ask the same thing.

"Nothing, It's just I hung out with Namjoon hyung yesterday, we like gym-ed together and he's genuinely a nice dude. So I wanted to warn him at least as a friend."

"I am pretty sure he already knows some things though, like he probably had watched the TV when he was outside and saw everything." Taehyung added his two cents.

"Not everything, you know they cut out some stuff too." Jeongguk seemed persistent so the two boys didn't stop him anymore. It wasn't harming them anyway.

"Makes sense, do you want me to call him? I think I saw him reading a book in the garden, he's truly a dream boy." Jimin asked Jeongguk.

"You don't have,I can just go to him-" Jeongguk was cut off by Jimin mid sentence.

"No! I was going to go and have lunch with Juliette anyway so I will just call Namjoon hyung on the way. Meanwhile you guys can talk with yourselves." He winked at both of them before getting up from the bean bag and going towards the Villa.

Jeongguk raised his eyebrow in confusion, he didn't know what that meant and Taehyung noticed it. He forgot to tell Jeongguk that Jimin knows everything about them.

"What was that?" Jeongguk asked Taehyung.

"He knows, Jeongguk." Taehyung tried to be subtle about it but it wasn't helping.

"About what?"

"He knows that you took my blue top that I was trying to find and scolded you when you hid it from me to tease me." Taehyung made up a whole story as he dragged the word blue.

Jeongguk was blank for a second and then his eyes widened. He almost gasped but he tried to control his expressions. Many questions are popping up in his head but he can't ask them right now.

"Ooh! Why did you tell him about that?" Jeongguk tried to get some of his questions answered.

"I didn't!! He found out on his own by checking our behavior with each other... after our fight." Taehyung replied, kinda in shock, how this conversation was perfect in every context.

"He's insane for that, though we are not fighting anymore, what would we even talk about. Does he know that?" Jeongguk asked and Taehyung nodded but replied with something else.

"I don't think he knows that. He's nice though, I really appreciate his efforts." He tried to tell Jeongguk in hints that he's on their side and it looked like Jeongguk perfectly understood that when a soft smile dawned on his face.

"I'm glad he's looking out for us. Such a great friend, indeed. Look at Namjoon's here too." Jeongguk pointed at Namjoon who came out of the Villa, walking towards them.

"Do you want me to leave?"

"Nah, it's not like it's some secret conversation. You can stay." Jeongguk told him and Taehyung nodded, remaining in his seat.

Namjoon gave them his dimpled smile as he sat on the yellow bean bag once Jimin was sitting on. "Hey, how are you guys?" Namjoon greeted them.

"Great, what about you?"

"I'm amazing too, so you called me for something, Jeongguk." He said, facing Jeongguk who brought his bean bag closer to Namjoon.

Their legs were touching now. Taehyung felt a little weird about that but he shook it off, it's stupid to feel jealous of just leg touching. Though he has to say it's the first time a guy took Jeongguk's attention beside him and it's truly a new sight. He wonders what this Namjoon guy has besides those holy thighs to offer.

"Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about you and Nabi. Now just to be clear I'm not trying to come between you guys or telling you to break up with her, I have only good intentions and no feelings for her at all. Wanted to clear that up before I start." Jeongguk claimed and Namjoon gave him a strange look.

"I think I know where this is going but go on."

"Right, So as you know and probably have seen on TV, me and Nabi were a couple for a couple of weeks and honestly it was kind of hell. That girl gave me hell, she only used me for her sexual pleasures and that's it. She used to flirt with everyone and didn't give a fuck about how I felt. I won't lie, I didn't like her but since we were a couple I wanted to give it a shot before I put an end to it." Jeongguk started his rant and even Taehyung was listening now.

"She disregarded my feelings so many times and she's truly a lot to handle and not really loyal. I'm warning you about her as a friend because from our chat from yesterday at the gym, you genuinely like her and I wanted to know what she is like before you fall deeper." Jeongguk finally finished.

Observing Namjoon's reaction, he wasn't giving much, instead he just had a focused expression. "Even though you said you don't want us to break up, this all told me you want us to break up. Is she really as evil as you make her sound?"

"Yeah,I mean sorry to interrupt your guy's conversation and I know we are not close like that and I don't want to gang up on you with Jeongguk but I also had some incidents with her. Starting with her degrading me like i'm some whore for guys just because I am bisexual. She used my sexuality to justify that I'm fucking him." Taehyung pointed at Jeongguk, he did do that but she had no prove but only the fact that he's bisexual.

"Oh wow"

"Yeah, so you don't have to believe us but be your own judge, Namjoon-sshi. She apologized but I don't know If I want to accept it, I just keep my distance from her." Taehyung said to him and Namjoon had now crossed his arms, he looked conflicted.

"First of all, just call me hyung. Adding the 'sshi' sounds formal and we are equals here. Putting that aside, this is all a lot to take in. Thank you to both of you for warning me, I do appreciate it. You are saying this for my own good as you guys would not get any benefits from breaking us up but I still want to try with Nabi. She makes me feel happy and I can't give up on us, who knows after all these toxic experiences she will finally change her ways." Namjoon still had hope, Taehyung kinda feels bad but good for them.

"We understand, Hyung. We did our part and now it's up to you to make decisions, we won't judge you for whatever you do because it's none of our business how you both live your life. Though I hope she changes, it's time to start being an adult." Jeongguk said to him,Putting his hands on Namjoon's arm.

"Thanks for understanding, I hope so too. Alright, I will go and finish my book. See both of you around."

"We are going to go for lunch, so we are leaving too. Wanna go, Taehyung?" Jeongguk got up from the bean bag, walking towards Taehyung, who was looking at him with such a pretty smile that he wanted to kiss him.

"mhm, I am really hungry." Taehyung said it in a cute voice,making Jeongguk laugh. He offered his hand to Taehyung, who held onto as he got up too.

Walking towards the kitchen while holding hands so they can have lunch together, They truly felt really domestic. It was nice to have moments like this.

Thanks to the delicious lunch that was catered to them today, they were full now. They put their dishes into the dishwasher before going inside the Villa to get changed because the sun was setting soon.

Though what they were not expecting was a surprise buzzer in the middle of their changing session. It was only an hour into everyone going inside to get changed for the night time. The guys were obviously all ready and it was the girls who were taking their time.

Everyone was surprised by the buzzer because what can it be now? they have had wild ass weeks, what else is left?

"Dear contestants, The final new contestant is sitting outside waiting for you guys. She will be the final addition to the Love Roulette Season Four Family as from now there would be no new contestants added. Please head outside to greet her."

Taehyung eyes wide open, he exchanged shocked looks with Jeongguk who was looking at him with the widest grin. This show is now in its last phase.

From now on,no new people will be added, instead only people will get eliminated until four couples are left to go to the finals.

This is both good and bad news for Taehyung. It is good news because he has like maybe 2 weeks at most in here left. Sure, that is a lot of time but the way the past months went by so fast yet so slow, he knows he will be reaching the end very soon if he survives eliminations.

That's the bad part, He has no partner right now. He knows he got the support of the viewers and that is more than what he can ask for. He is on their good side and he wants to keep it that way.

Taehyung knows that if he wasn't popular, the viewers wouldn't have given a fuck that he was leaving yesterday. But instead they did him a big favor and saved him. Now he needs to benefit from that and keep it that way.

He assumes he doesn't need to date any old contestant to keep staying here. The people got him so he should try and seduce this girl because that's his last chance to stay here. No matter how popular you are, you don't get saved from dumping twice. So the operation to get the new girl is on.

•Final new contestant has entered the Villa!~♡

Name: Kang Seulgi
Age: 25
Birthplace: Ansan, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea
Occupation: Artist, Part time dancer

The guys were ready, the production team was smart for sending this new girl out now because the girls are busy getting ready and guys are already done. So they can go and meet her before the girls intimidate her and try to claim their partners.

Taehyung was ahead of everyone, he had a plan and he needed to focus on it. Walking outside the Villa,he took a look around to see A girl sitting on the fire pit.

The more closer he got, the more he noticed her. She was, as usual, gorgeous. With a slim body, wearing a sweetheart neck red dress that hugged her body in the right places. Her crossed legs Wearing red stilettos to make her look as hot as possible.

When he almost reached her he noticed her face. She looked oddly familiar and he couldn't put a name to her face. She was extremely pretty though, when she noticed him coming  She got up and her red lips gave him a smile.  Her cat eyes looked so sharp as If he was being lured inside.

"Hey, I'm Seulgi. You are Taehyung, wow it's nice to see you in real life." Seulgi gave him a hug and he was glad it was not a handshake. He put on his best smile.

"Hi,It's so nice to meet you. You look really gorgeous by the way. It's strange you know my name but I have got used to it."Taehyung replied to her.

"I am shocked you don't know mine."

"Wait, I swear I have seen your face somewhere, are you popular by any chance?" Taehyung asked her but he was interrupted by other guys coming to meet her.

"Oh my god,Kang Seulgi from Season two right? This is crazy, I cannot believe you are here." Jimin hugged the woman who was grinning.

"Well now you know where you have seen me, Taehyung." She told him before greeting the other guys.

Kang Seulgi, indeed he now knows where he saw her. He didn't know they would invite an ex islander in but he knows perfectly why they chose her as the last one to come.

In her season, You can say she was the Nabi of her season. She had Nabi's popularity but definitely not her personality, thankfully. Though she was cutthroat and fierce, not afraid to speak against anyone and was able to maintain her attractiveness on top of that. The guys were all over her.

People really liked her, She had most of the screen time so she gained a lot of fans who supported her through everything. Until something happened that wasn't revealed to the public and she left the show. It said it was a family emergency but many had theories of their own that it is something else.

Someone said it's because she was mistreated on the show while others believe she got in a bad fight with one of the female contestants for stealing their partner, while other believe the other couples were threatened by her popularity they made up something about her to kick her out,  Nothing has been confirmed so these were all rumors. To this day no one still knows.

So yeah, she was a strong competitor and now she's back in the game. He knows this girl would do wonders with him but he can't fake like her so he needs to test the waters to see if she will do what he wants and not snitch on him. He knows this girl can take him to the finals.

Soon the girls came down too and greeted Seulgi. They were all too shocked by her being back and some were even intimidated by her. She was extremely pretty if he was them he would be claiming his man too. Wait, he is kinda in the same circle as them.

Though he has nothing to worry about, Jeongguk is all his. They all sat down and asked Seulgi about her type and who she thinks is attractive, she did name taehyung out of the three guys she's into right now. He was glad but she also said Jeongguk's name and he was bothered.

He did notice her giving Jeongguk multiple looks and glances. Right next to Jeongguk was Joohyun who was noticing everything like Taehyung was. Taehyung sat right next to her but she was glancing at the other direction where Jeongguk was.

Taehyung wondered if Jeongguk was the type of guy she liked. Instead of his strategy he was kind of more worried about his man. Jeongguk's wish is coming true,he is prioritizing him even without realizing this burning feeling in his chest.

He suddenly felt a hand going up and down his arms. Noticing it was Seulgi's doing. A smirk on her face, she was finally focusing on him.

"So Taehyung, You are single" She said.

"And ready to mingle." trying to ignore her flirting attempts.

"You sure there's no one else you are interested in?" her gaze going back again to the direction he really wants her to stop looking at.

Though it made him question things a bit because why did she look at Jeongguk before saying that. There's no way she knows anything.

"mhm, I have some people in mind but none who want me back. So If you are open and we get a chance, a date would be nice." Taehyung decided to be straightforward, keeping the story straight so he isn't labeled a Liar for moving on from 'joohyun' the girl he has been using as a scapegoat out of these questions.

"Don't back out, last minute then Taehyung. Now,Can you grab me a drink?" Seulgi asked and he was a bit skeptical but he didn't argue and nodded.

Making eye contact with Jeongguk for a brief second as he got up and looking away once he walked away to the counter where the drinks were.

He heard heels following him, so he looked back to see Joohyun coming after him. They both reached the carpet as Taehyung took the bottle of champagne and started pouring some for himself and Seulgi.

"Why did you follow me?" Taehyung asked Joohyun who had a scowl on her face and was awfully quiet. It doesn't suit her.

"Are you seriously asking me that? did you not notice what she was doing?" Joohyun asked, fixing her dress. Still mad about the situation, Taehyung stopped pouring.

"You noticed it too? I thought it was me only but God,she kept on looking at Jeongguk again and again, I almost thought-" Taehyung was rudely interrupted by Joohyun.

"-What? No! she was looking at me, you idiot."

"Why would she look at you!?" Taehyung was more confused now.

"Taehyung, She was rubbing your arm, batting her eyelashes at you as she glanced at me. She's clearly doing it to make me mad. Like what the fuck does she want me to do about it? it's not like we are a dating." Joohyun took a sip out of the glass, Taehyung poured for himself.

"Oh…oh that makes sense but not at the same time because as you said we are not even a couple. Why would she look at you?"

"Maybe she thinks we still like each other. Which is ridiculous, I don't like you , I have S-seojun now." Joohyun avoided eye contact.

"You don't?" Taehyung gave her the puppy eyes and she rolled hers.

"Shut up, god she's making me so mad. I'm going inside, I am done for the night." Joohyun walked off here to go inside in peace. Preach to that indeed.
