The next morning, as everyone gathered, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. Haram, Taekhyun, Kangmin, Minho and Ho Jin were at the outdoor gym area, with Haram cheering Ho Jun on as he worked out. However, Ho Jun seemed to be purposefully avoiding Sujin, leaving her with mixed emotions.

Jaemin flashed Jinah a warm smile as they sat down for breakfast. "Hey, Jinah. How was your night?"

Jinah returned his smile, her cheeks tinged with a soft blush. "It was nice, thanks. How about yours?"

"It was good," Jaemin replied, adjusting his glasses. "I slept like a baby."

Jinah giggled. "You look really good in glasses, by the way."

Jaemin's smile widened. "Thanks! Want to try them on?"

Jinah hesitated for a moment before accepting the offer, placing the glasses on her own nose. "Hmm, not bad?"

"You look cute," Jaemin remarked, causing Jinah to blush even more.

Before their moment could linger, Kangmin approached their table, a curious expression on his face. "Hey, Did you sleep well"

Jinah unintentionally gave Kangmin a cold shoulder, her attention still focused on Jaemin. "Yeah"

Kangmin's smile faltered slightly at Jinah's distant response, but he brushed it off, deciding to join the conversation.

Host Commentary

LJY: Things aren't quite smooth for Kangmin

SM: Right?
****

Sujin sat down for breakfast, keeping a close eye on Haram and Hojin, her thoughts a whirlwind of uncertainty and jealousy.

"Hyah, I counted it.. You only did 20 push ups"Haram argued cutely with Hojin.

"I was certain that I did 50"He smiled and she laughed hysterically.

When they both took their showers(individually please), they came back  to have breakfast.

"What's for breakfast?"Haram asked

"I think there's Ramyeon, I'll go get ours"Hojin says and Haram nods.

Meanwhile Sujin finishes her breakfast and quickly enters her tent, Jinah following her.

"Are you okay?"Jinah asks Sujin who's mentally drained and confused.

"I'm just ...... I don't get it.. In Paradise we were fine, he said I was his type and now he likes.... Haram?"

"Ohh. Maybe he's getting to know her and weighing his options"

"But he's been ignoring me.. I passed him three times this morning and.."

Singles, it's time for some couple games.

Soon enough, they all assembled at the beach in their bikinis, three pieces and swim suits.

The males are playing this one. The game is simple, two people tackle each other, the one who crosses the line where the circle is drawn, loses. The winners get to choose their paradise partners. The first pair is Kangmin and Jaemin.

Host Commentary

LDH: Is that allowed?. Won't they kill each other?

SM: Really.
*****

Jaemin first gives his glasses to Jinah to hold onto for him, before he prepares to enter the circle.

The whistle blows and Kangmin and Jaemin both enter the circle, they start sizing each other up.

Kangmin first attacks and Jaemin dodges it, they go round again and Kangmin tries to push Jaemin which ends up badly because Jaemin dodges it and Kangmin ends up falling outside the circle.

"Woah"Saena exclaimed.

"That was short"Ho Jin chuckled

Hojin, Taekhyun and Minho

The match is quick and Hojin ends up victorious, Taekyun as a runner up.

In the next fight, between Jaemin, Hojin and Taekyun. Hojin places first, Jaemin second and Taekyun third.

"Are you feeling happy about your victory?"Haram asks Hojin and he nods, and they stroll down along with the others.

Haram

When I saw how strong he was, his muscles were totally ripped. I felt attracted to him more.

They all gathered round the wooden table for lunch, some roasted potatoes and canned tuna's.

"Should I open it for you?"Jaemin said to Jinah when he saw her struggling with the canned tuna, and she nodded. He opened it and gave it to her.

"Ouu, it actually tastes good"Jinah smiled.

"I thought you disliked tuna's?"Saena smirked at Jinah. And Jinah replied with aegyo "No, I just didn't like it cold"

The intercom binged

Moon Minho ssi

Please go to the other side of the Island.

"Why?"Haram inquired, a bit shocked.

"I think we have a new contestant, this is exciting!"Hojin chuckled.

"We're actually missing one"Taekhyun nodded.

Host Commentary

SM: Woahhhhh!

LDH: This is getting interesting

LKH: For reall
****

"Hello"Minho greeted the new contestant as he was approaching, and she did the same getting up.

My name is Moon Jiwon
My Charms?, I get Playful with someone I like, and I'm very competitive.
I'm every guy's type in the books.
I joined the show with hopes of meeting someone with similar vibes, someone super romantic?. Yes.

Host Commentary

LDH: Wow, She's pretty..

SM: She has this cold yet adorable aura. Like her tone is very delicate and her looks are a bit cold.

LJY: She's going to change things.
******

She's done conversing with all the male contestants, now it's time for her to choose a male participant to go to paradise with.

"The person I choose to go to paradise with, is....................... Hong Kangmin"

Host Commentary

LKH: Really?

SM: Kangmin ssi?

LDH: Why?, wow. Good for Kang min.

LJY: it's kind of a blessing in disguise for Kang min
****

Girls Tent.

"Kangmin?"Saena's eyes widened in shock, and Haram joined "Daebak"

I thought she'd choose Ho Jin or Taekhyun"Sujin says.

****

Hong Kangmin, hold Jiwon's hand and leave for paradise.

"Hi"Jiwon shyly giggles and he holds her hand and leaves for paradise.

Yoo Jaemin, Seo Hojin and Choi Taekhyun step out of your lodging and choose your paradise partners.

Jaemin chooses Jinah, they both hold hands and leave the inferno.

Hojin chooses Haram.

Taekhyun chooses Sujin.

*****

🔥 Inferno.

Minho and Saena are left behind.

"I guess it's us again"Minho smiles and Saena nods, reality sinking in for her.

Park Saena

Outside the inferno, in the real world this doesn't happen. I keep thinking, what am I doing wrong.... *Sobs in-between* Am I not attractive?

"I don't feel like eating anything"Saena curls up her legs to her face, and Minho nods not understanding what to do in this situation.

Host Commentary

LDH: I think I know what's going on with Saena.. Before she entered the show, she had high hopes that she'd for certain go to paradise. And now I'm the inferno, no one picked her.

SM: I think reality is crashing down on her. I'm curious about Taekyun and Sujin's date, sujin initially wanted to go with Hojin

LJY: Yeah, but he chose Haram. I wonder how he changed his mind about Sujin.

LKH: And Kangmin too.

******

🏨 Paradise.

Choi Taekhyun and Sujin's Paradise.

"Woah, the view is so nice and the room is spacious too"Taekhyun commented and Sujin agreed, plopping on the couch.

"There's food!"Sujin smiled.

"Cheers"Taekhyun popped the wine and poured some for both of them.

"I'm kind of curious though, Why me?"Sujin chuckled, while Taekhyun pondered on it.

"I originally wanted to pick Haram but Hojin snagged her away"he chuckled, and she joined in "Snagged. Cheers to our friendship. I have your back"

"I have yours too."

"I'm just going to sleep after this"

"Me too"

🏨 Paradise

Jaemin and Jinah

---

As they arrived at their private suite, Jaemin couldn't help but be impressed. "Oh wow, Jinah, this place is amazing!"

Jinah nodded, her eyes wide with excitement. "Yeah, it's so nice here."

Jaemin carried her small bag of clothes, feeling the lightness of it. "You're really traveling light," he remarked with a smile.

She laughed. "Just the essentials for a night."

Inside the suite, they immediately noticed the bottle of wine waiting for them. They poured themselves glasses and clinked them together, maintaining eye contact. Jinah suddenly burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" Jaemin asked, amused.

"Your face makes me laugh. It's just so funny," she replied, still giggling.

Jaemin pretended to be offended. "I'm only funny with you. You make me funny."

Jinah smiled, feeling a flutter in her chest. "Okay, I'll take the credit for that."

---

**Host Commentary**

**LDH:** They’re so cute together! It’s like watching a couple.

**SM:** Jaemin really knows how to make her laugh. They’re so comfortable with each other.

---

"I'm hungry," Jinah announced.

"Let's eat, then," Jaemin said as he uncovered their prepared meal.

As they ate, Jinah's delight was evident. She acted like a happy puppy, her excitement contagious. Jaemin watched her with a fond smile, playing the part of the cute owner.

"I miss My mom's fried rice with eggs and bacon. This pasta's good too. I don't want to go to the inferno now"Jinah pouts.

"Well, we have to"

---

**Host Commentary**

LKH: Jinah looks so happy, like a puppy wagging its tail.

SM: And Jaemin is such a sweet owner, it’s adorable!

---

After dinner, they decided to take a dip in the pool. Jaemin entered the water first, holding out his hand for Jinah.

"Come on in," he encouraged.

"No, I don't want to. It's cold," Jinah said, wrapping her arms around herself and pouting playfully.

"It's not really that cold. You can try," Jaemin coaxed, his hand still extended.

Jinah hesitated, then took his hand. As she entered the water, she shivered. "Oh, it's cold!" She splashed water at him in retaliation.

Jaemin laughed and splashed her back. "Hey, that's not fair!"

They played in the water, Jinah finally declaring, "I'm going to get you!" as she splashed him with more water.

---

Later that night, they were ready to sleep. Jaemin started setting up on the couch.

"Won't you get cold?" Jinah asked, concerned.

"Maybe a little," Jaemin admitted.

They decided to both take the bed, setting a boundary of pillows between them.

"Good night, pretty," Jaemin said with a smile.

"Good night, handsome," Jinah replied, feeling a warmth spread through her at the sweet exchange.

---

**Host Commentary**

LJY:They even set up a pillow boundary! So cute.

LDH: And calling each other pretty and handsome... they’re definitely feeling something.

SM: This is such a sweet ending to their day. I can’t wait to see how their relationship develops!

🏨 Paradise.

Kangmin and Jiwon.

"I could sleep here forever"Jiwon sighed in comfort, plopping on one of the couches.

"Woah, it has a clear view of the sunset"Kangmin said.

"I'm sure you've been here with someone, how was it?"

"It was good. But don't worry, I'll pretend it's my first"He said and she smiled.

"Ouu, there's a Polaroid. Let's take a photo together"She said and he nodded, the moved a bit closer and took pictures beside the view of the sunset.

"I have a game for us. I brought some sticky notes. We'll write down the first impression we gave each other and stick it to our four head, we'll close our eyes and react together"

"It's sounds fun"

Jiwon gave him a piece of sticky note, and they stole secret glances at each other while writing.

Jiwon wrote "Prince Charming"

Kangmin wrote "Sunshine"

"1, 2, 3!"Jiwon said and they both laughed at the results, Jiwon sort of blushed and Kangmin smiled.

"Ouu, I like it. Sunshine, that'll be your name for me. I accept it!"She chuckled and he nodded along with it.

"It's nice to know that I'm Prince Charming."He nodded, "Well, yeah"She smiled.

Jiwon suddenly starts dancing and Kangmin looks at her bewildered with subtle admiring, because there's no music playing.

"Let's dance"

"There's no music"

"Imagine the music. Ooopaaaaa!"She pouted with her aegyo voice, and he couldn't resist.

They both danced together, imagining a slow music playing. After dancing, they had dinner and couldn't proceed to the pool because of Jiwon felt a little bit sick.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Yes, way better. This is the fifth time you've checked on me, get some sleep. I don't want you to feel tired"

"It's okay, if you aren't feeling better I'll stay beside you"

"I won't feel better if you don't sleep"She touched the side of his hair, while he sat beside her bed.

"Fine, but I'll keep checking"

"Thanks Oopa!"

Host Commentary

LDH: Woah, I haven't seen this side of Kangmin with Jinah.

SM: That's what I'm saying. He's naturally so sweet.

LJY: They really act like they are in a relationship. If I hadn't watched the other episodes, I would think they are couples.

LKH: Yeah. They gave each other pet names.

LDH: I've also noticed something. With Jiwon, she's assertive, she's letting him know that she's all for him. But with Jinah, she wants to have options. That would be conflicting for Kang min to decide later on.

SM: Really. I prefer his relationship with Jiwon.

*******

The next day, the couples all return to Inferno.

"Jinah I missed you"Saena enveloped her in a tight hug as she approached them.

"Hi, I'm Jiwon"She introduced herself to the contestants who didn't know her and they did same.

"You guys keep leaving us here. So we almost planted booby traps for you guys"Minho joked.

"Booby traps?. You must be jealous. I had so much fun, so much food. Oh my goshh the pool"Sujin bragged shamelessly and Minho closed his ears in horror.

"Sujin ahh, you're torturing him. He's so jealous"Taekhyun chuckled.

Meanwhile Jaemin and Jinah were in their own little world, and Kangmin watched them while Jiwon watched him.

Host Commentary

LJY: It's like a drama. Jiwon is watching Kangmin who's watching Jaemin and Jinah

SM: I'm getting goosebumps.
*****

"Five kids?. I bet your wife won't agree"Jinah said to Jaemin.

"Then I'll beg her cutely, I'll tell her she's pretty and I'll do all the chores"

"She still won't agree"

"Then I'll seduce her"He smirked and she chuckled.

Singles, please go to the mailboxes one by one and give out candy to ones who gave you the best impressions.

"What?"Haram exclaimed.

"Candy?"

Multiple selections are allowed.

"Ouu"

Host Commentary

SM: I feel like Jinah would give out one to Kangmin and one to Jaemin. While Jiwon to Kangmin only.

LDH: Taekhyun might give two, Haram and Hojin would give out one.

LKH: Which guy and girl would have the most candy?

SM: Jinah or Jiwon?..

LDH: Jiwon is new, she might've only made an impact to Kangmin. So I think it's Jinah or Haram.

SM: For the guys, Hojin or Kangmin.

****

Women's Mailbox.

Jinah.

She walks towards her mailbox in excitement, and opens it.

2?

It reveals two candies and she shoves them in her breast pocket.

Saena

My guess is none?, I don't think anyone would give me any.

Saena opens her mailbox and it reveals it empty, she sighs and closes it.

Jiwon

I'm pretty new, so I wasn't expecting much.

Her mailbox reveals one candy and she's in disbelief, but a smile makes it's way to her face.

Sujin.

Please just one!.

She happily jumps as sees one candy in her mailbox.

Haram.

I'm expecting one, from him. Hopefully.

Haram is in shock as she opens her locker and it reveals four candies.

Girls Tent.

"I guess Haram got the most."Sujin says.

"Yeah, she seems popular"

Just then, Haram enters the room with her hand in her jacket pocket.

"I'm sure you got a lot. How many?"Saena chuckles.

"Four"She makes a finger of it and they were all shook.

"Woah."

🏨 **Next Morning**

The next morning, Jiwon woke up first, already done with her makeup and looking refreshed. She was quietly enjoying the morning when Jaemin coincidentally woke up next.

"Hi," Jaemin greeted her, his voice still soft from sleep.

"Hi," Jiwon replied with a bright smile. "What should we cook?"

"There are some ingredients here," Jaemin said, checking the kitchen. "We can make fried rice and eggs for everyone. There's bacon on top too."

"Can you cook?" Jiwon asked, curious.

"Yeah," Jaemin nodded. "I'll handle the rice while you do the bacon and eggs."

"Okay," she agreed. He handed her an apron, and she gave it back to him without putting it on for him, subtly hinting she wasn't quite ready to be that close.

Kangmin woke up and was surprised to see Jiwon and Jaemin together so early. He didn't voice his thoughts but couldn't help wondering why they were cooking together.

"Good morning," he greeted them.

Jiwon smiled brightly at him. "Good morning!"

"What are you up to?" he asked, trying not to intrude but clearly curious.

"Making fried rice," she said, making special eye contact with him that hinted at her feelings.

"Can I help you out?" he offered.

"Yeah," she replied, as a strand of her hair fell out of place.

"Your hair isn't packed very well. Want me to help?" Kangmin asked.

"Sure," she said, handing him a rubber band. He tried to pack her hair but didn’t do it quite right, making her laugh as she fried the eggs.

"Is it okay?" he asked, nervous.

"It's fine, it's fine," she reassured him, wrapping the band herself.

Jaemin watched them while doing his own thing.

---

**Host Commentary**

LDH: Jiwon and Kangmin look like they’re already forming a strong connection.

SM: Look at how he's helping her with her hair. It's sweet!

LJY: Jaemin seems a bit sidelined seeing Jiwon and Kangmin together. It's interesting to watch.

--

Jinah came out, stretching and rubbing her eyes. "Good morning," she said, her voice still thick with sleep. She spotted the fried rice and bacon. "Ah, I've been craving this since yesterday!"

She smiled, a bit surprised"Oh, you remember?"

He nodded while cutting some vegetables. "Can I help?"

he smiled at her. "I'm almost done, but you can keep me company."

Kangmin glanced at them, feeling a tiny pang of jealousy but continued his conversation with Jiwon.

---

Soon, the rest of the contestants woke up and joined them for breakfast. They all sat around the table, enjoying the meal Jiwon and Jaemin had prepared. As they were eating, Jinah was enjoying some potatoes that Jaemin had made.

---

"Jinah, you know those Eggs were made with love, right?" Saena teased, glancing at jinah and Jaemin with a playful smirk.

Jinah rolled her eyes playfully. "What are you talking about?."

The group laughed, the mood light and relaxed. After breakfast, they decided to go outside and take some pictures.

---

Outdoors

Jinah coincidentally handed the Polaroid camera to Kangmin to snap a photo of her and Jaemin. Kangmin's smile faltered slightly, feeling a pang of hurt, but he took the photo for them.

As they moved to take more pictures, Kangmin stood beside Jiwon, her hand brushing against his. She smiled up at him, and he couldn't help but smile back.

Jaemin joined them, sitting close to Jinah. She blushed slightly, making the others chuckle as they snapped photos of them together.
