Singles Inferno

"Wow, it's so large, I want to stay here forever"Sujin commented as they both entered the hotel room.

"Then you'll have to keep choosing me"Ho Jin replied with a coy smirk.

"Cake!. I've been craving cake for days now, I'm so glad I get to eat this"Sujin hummed, as she sat down to eat the cake.

"You can have it all"

"Good, I wasn't planning on sharing. So, let me guess, You're 27?"

"Wow, I guess my Skin care routine does work"Ho Jin joked, touching his face.

"42?"

"Why don't you just give me a stick and call me harabeoji?"Ho Jin laughed and Sujin joined in.

"I'm 31"

"Oh, wow. You really look younger harabeoji"She chuckled.

"Then I guess you're 24?"

"25"

"I was close right?"

"What do you do?"

"I'm a Producer, Songwriter" he answered.

"Woah. I'm a model"

"So, What's your ideal type?"Sujin kept her eyes on him, taking a slight pause for his answer.

"You mean you?"He smiled coyly.

"Hyah, you can't just do that. You're cheating"She blushed, "How confident are you that I'll pick you next time?"

"99%?. I'm giving Minho the 1% because you may be a tiny bit curious about him but you'll still come back to me"He smirked, relaxing on the chair while folding his arms.

"You're so annoying!"She pouted, leaving the dining room to the living room, "Sujin ahh, don't be angry"he followed her like a lost puppy.

Kangmin & Jinah's paradise.

"Wow, the stakes tastes amazing. I'm curious about how the wine tastes?"Jinah says.

"Should I pour it out for you?"Kangmin says and she nods, and he pours it to her satisfaction.

"Why aren't you eating?. You're just staring at me"Jinah chuckled awkwardly.

"Have you ever seen something so beautiful that every other thing around it seems so irrelevant?"Kangmin smiles.

Jinah turns back and gazes at the sunset, thinking he was talking about that, "Ah, I understand what you mean. The sunset is so beautiful, want to take a pic?"

Host Commentary
HJK: No Jinah SSI!, You got it wrong.

SM: Now I know why Kangmin says he likes someone old fashioned. This kind of guy would make their girlfriend feel so special and loved.

LDH: Yes, but I don't think Jinah understands. Or she's pretending not to because of a guard up.

"******.

"The hot tub is warm"Kangmin commented, sitting beside Jinah by the side of the tub.

"Just what I wanted"Jinah says.

"What's the probability that we'll come back here together after the next pairing, based on your choice?"Kangmin asked.

"Uhh, 2%?. I may want to get to know the other guys. Because, I'm not sure if I can put my all in you and not get disappointed. You might get swayed by someone, but that's fine. So I want to have other choices?"

"Ohh, I understand" Kangmin nodded, sprinkling some water on her so she wouldn't get cold.

"I'm guessing you're a Model?"

"No, I work in a tech company as the Manager, You?"

"I work in the marketing department of a Make up brand company"She smiled.

"Cool"he said and they clinked glasses.

Host Commentary

LDH: I felt a bit bad for Kangmin, I feel he developed feelings too fast and may get heartbroken.

LJY: Yes

SM: I thought Jinah was the quiet type but she talked alot with Kangmin than with the others

HJK: Should that mean anything?.

SM: Yeah, she may be more comfortable with him. That might give him an advantage.

Choi Taekhyun & Shin Haram's Paradise

"Woah, I love the view"Haram exclaimed seeing the view from the hotel room, "You can watch the sunset from here"Taekhyun added

"Are you glad to be here?"Haram turned to him with a smile, "Of course I am"he smiled back.

"I've been literally craving fries, I miss it so much. Finally!, This is really paradise"Haram hummed while chewing and Taekhyun chuckled watching her.

"I think I might know what you do for a living?. Realtor?"Haram chuckled at her own words.

"Do I look like one?. Well, I'm a food Scientist" he smiled, "wow, impressive. Do you want to guess mine?"

"Model?"

"Nope, I'm an agent that manages the career of an athlete"

"Really?"

"Yeah, is it so surprising?"She laughed hysterically.

"Yeah, kinda. I'm thinking you're 26?"

"Yeah, you're right!. How did you know?"

"It's a gift."

"Then you're 34?"

"31. Should we head out to the pool?"Taekhyun asked and she nodded, and they set out to change and meet at the pool area.

"I hope it's not too cold"Haram giggled, entering it slowly and Taekhyun followed suit.

"I feel like I'm going to drown. It's reaching my neck"She chuckled.

"Just hold onto me" he said and she leaned on him for support.

"I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow, and how things will change. If you were to go back to when we chose who to go to paradise with, would you still choose Jinah?"She asks, playing with the water.

"I don't know. But one thing's for sure, I'm closer to you. We'll definitely feel more familiar"

"Yeah, we spent the whole day together"

Host Commentary.

HJK: Things are heated in paradise, I thought paradise would be less heated but.

LJY: Yeah, and it's just the first Day

The Inferno.

"I guess it's only us"Minho sighed, Saena replied with a saddened expression.

"I'm kind of shocked though. I kind of thought I'd get picked. What exactly happened?"Saena said, deep in thoughts as Minho offered her apple slices.

"At least we have apples. They don't. We'll just ignore them tomorrow morning, pretend like they don't exist"

"Yeah."

"Oh my, is that a new contestant?"Minho reacted to the guy approaching them with his luggage" and Daebak drops the apple slices she's eating.

My name is Yoon Jaemin

My charms?, My smile and my natural face.
Everything I hit the gym, I'm surrounded by swooning girls.

Host Commentary

SM: Woah, he's so handsome.

LJY: He's going to be a game changer for sure

LDH: Did you see Saena drop her apple when she saw him.

HJK: No Saena ssi, you can't like this one.

********

"Hi, I'm Yoon Jaemin"he introduced himself to Saena and Minho and they did the same.

*********

The next morning.

The couples all return from the Inferno, and are in shock of the new contestant.

"How was it?"Saena asked the girls, especially Jinah as soon as they got to their rooms.

"It was good, fairly okay. But I can't say I'm 100% interested in him"Jonah replied and Saena nodded, taking all the information.

"But I think he is, when we were all talking he didn't even blink his eye away from you. It was so cute"Sujin teased.

"Really?"

"He even got her water, exchanged seats because of the sun reflection. I was like, Jinah's really lucky"Haram added, chuckling.

"What do you guys think of the new guy..."

Yoo Jaemin, choose two people to join you on your special welcome meal.

"He's so lucky, Daebak"Haram commented.

"I think he'll pick you and Sujin"Saena pointed out and Haram shook her head in disbelief.

"Me too"Jinah supported Saena.

Kim Jinah, Park Saena you have been chosen to have the special welcome meal with Too Jaemin, kindly step out of your tent to have lunch.

"Woah, I didn't even imagine this"Jinah said, bewildered.

"The fact that you both thought it was us, and it turned out to be you guys"Haram chuckled.

"Byee, we're going to have our special meal"Saena smiled.

"Hyah, is that how it is?."Haram said hysterically and Saena brought out her tongue, and followed Jinah out for the lunch.

****

The boys dorm.

"That's surprising, I thought he'd pick Saena and Haram"Taekhyun said, while Kangmin looked lost in thoughts, clearly bothered about the situation.

"Bruhh.. What if Jinah gets swayed?"Ho Jin says.

"Hyah, don't say that. Can't you see his dilemma?"Minho walked towards Ho Jin and started strangling him playfully, and it turned to a playful fight.

Host Commentary

LDH: Guys do really get along fast.

SM: For real. O don't think that can ever be me, even after two weeks.

LDH: Sana SSI?

SM: *giggles* I really can't.

LDH: So what are we?.

SM: We're friends

LDH: I don't believe you. I'll come back to this betrayal later.

SM: Eonnie, *chuckles"

Special Lunch.

"Hi"the girls approached Jaemin in the small table set for them with three chairs, the special meal being french fries and Korean chicken.

"Woah, is this chicken?. Finally something good to eat"Saena remarks and Jaemin nods, adjusting his glasses.

"Aren't you eating?"Jaemin asked Jinah.

"No, I think I've had enough at paradise this morning"

"How was your paradise?"

"Good, I went with Kangmin ssi. "She said and he nodded, taking it all in.

"So why did you choose us?"Saena asked, grabbing some fries.

"Um, I was curious about you guys."

"Are we close to your ideal type?" Jinah asked and he nodded, stuffing some fries in his mouth.

"Do you guys have any specific person you're into now?"He asked.

Jinah answered first, "No one at the moment"

Host Commentary

LDH: Woah!.

SM: Did she just say no one?, What about Kangmin ssi?.

HJK: wow.

*****

"I'm not too sure"Saena chuckled awkwardly and Jaemin nodded.

Throughout the lunch, Jaemin's eyes lingered towards Jinah and she caught it, they had eye contact for a few seconds till she broke it.

Hojin left his tent and approached Haram, who nodded in acknowledgment as he requested to speak with her. As they strolled along the beach, finding a spot to sit on the sands, Haram's giggly nature shone through.

"The sun looks so cool from here," Haram remarked, her voice filled with excitement.

Hojin agreed, his demeanor remaining calm as he responded, "Yeah. How was your paradise?"

"It was good," Haram replied, her giggles still present. "We had french fries and we tried out the pool. I'm curious, though, why did you want to talk? You didn't seem like you had interest in me or anything."

"Oh," Hojin began, his tone gentle, "I just realized I've talked to you the least among the girls."

"Actually, I wanted to choose you with that ball privileges but didn't want to burden you with feeling guilty for not choosing me. So, I chose Sujin."

"Really?" Haram's calm demeanor remained, though a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes. "It felt like you didn't have interest in me at first. Good to know."

"If I was given the chance again, I'd choose you."Haram's smile widened at his response, her giggles growing slightly louder.

"Your laugh is so cute," Hojin said, his words straightforward and genuine.

"Aww, thanks," Haram replied, a little taken aback by his compliment.

Hojin grinned, his eyes sparkling, his voice warm and sincere. "Your laugh is infectious, and it always makes me smile."

"Thanks. I think we should head back before they start looking for us"Haram smiled and they both got up and Hojin walked Haram to her tent, before he went to his.

The girls tent

"Hiii"Haram said to all of them, feeling all gittery.

"We heard you went for a chat with Hojin, how did it go?"Saena asked Haram and she started blushing.

"Ouu, she's blushing!"Jinah pointed out, while Sujin waited for Haram's feedback.

"It was cool. I think I'm getting swayed. I never imagined that we'll have chemistry"She smiled and Saena nodded.

"What did you guys talk about?"Sujin found herself asking.

"Not much, but it left a good impression"

"Ouu, I wonder what they talked about?"Jinah chuckled.

Host Commentary

SM: Woah, it's only one Episode two and it's this heated.

LJY: I like the fact that Haram didn't tell Sujin what they talked about.

HJK: Yeah.
