I went home earlier than Seok-Hoon, my second date.
"How do you feel right now? Did you like your date today?" my talkative friend, Sera, was already by my side in my room.
"I liked him more than my first date, our conversation went smoothly, although I'm not sure if we'll be compatible, our views are a bit different."
"Did you talk about anything detailed at the beginning of your date?" Sera asked, widening her eyes, not believing what I was going through..
"I think so... We didn't mean to talk about things in detail, but some of our questions and answers gave us an idea of our perspectives."
"Maybe you're overthinking it, come on, you're not doing your research at this event Rael, enjoy it... try to feel how you feel right now.
"I'm sure the guy I dated earlier has an attractive charm for the women in this house...
"You think I'll like him too," I nodded at her question...
"hmmm... almost all the men in this house have talked to me but I think what you find attractive may not necessarily be attractive to me, do you think other women like him? This second date of yours?" Sera's questions rained down on me.
"I think he liked his first date...
"Does that worry you?" she asked again and I just shook my head.
"We just started talking today, I don't know if I just like him because of his first impression on me, or if he's really attractive to me." I said.
Seok-Hoon came to my room and asked me to chat outside, I realized Hana and Yuri saw him call me and heard a bit of our conversation.
"What are you doing?" I asked, a little disturbed by his sudden invitation.
"Nothing... there's no rule against me asking you to talk."
"Wouldn't the others suspect that you're my second date?" I asked him, we were standing in the hallway between our rooms. I, who am easily worried, felt a lot of anxiety when he called me in front of the others.
"Not really, they might suspect that we were first dates," his answer coincided with Hana coming out of her room and passing by us still standing in the hallway.
"Come on, let's go buy some groceries... help me make some food...."
"Have you already gotten your cooking ration back? Shouldn't you be asking your shopping date..."
"I already made a deal with her, she's going to ask out the guy she's interested in and I'm asking you out..
"Since when have you two been colluding like that, it's only day 5 and you're already colluding...
"I'm not colluding, I'm just being friends," he said firmly. "Do you also have debating skills like Yuri... " he asked again, suspicious of me.
"What do you mean?
"You don't know that Yuri and Yohan had another fight today? Some of us saw them together and found them fighting all the time while preparing dinner today, just now...
"I saw them liking each other...
"I don't think so... or, if they do like each other, little things easily cause them to fight... because of that... Let's buy groceries together...
"Alright, I'll change clothes and grab my coat...
"I'll wait
As I was getting ready to go shopping, I passed by the men's room on the 2nd floor and saw Yohan with Yoong-Jae.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Nothing, he's just treating a few minor wounds..." replied Yoong-Jae...
"What happened?" I saw him treating some small wounds of his...
"It's nothing, just got hit by a little hot oil" explained Yohan
"Why did you pick a fight if you couldn't handle it?" scolded Yoong-Jae
"I didn't fight with her... I was just joking with her"
"I don't understand why they were fighting" Sera said when we were in the car
"If I hadn't stopped it earlier, there would have been a throwing match in this house" added Young Jae "Sometimes Yohan just can't read the situation"
"I've never been close to Yuri, I find her quite creepy" continued Sera.
"I've never spoken to her either..." continued Seok-Hoon. I was still trying to figure out what had happened earlier.
"Their personalities are the same, they are very passionate but also very sensitive, they tease each other and end up getting annoyed"
"I think Yohan often teases people, I think it's his way of getting close to someone" I said
"I think so too" said Yoong-Jae.
"I think Yuri would be better suited to someone who is warmer, not someone who is cold like Yohan... the organizers were wrong to set them up on a date" said Sera.
Seok-Hoon didn't talk much this time, as he was busy driving the car we were in. I realized that Seok-Hoon's co-conspirator was Sera and I knew that Sera was interested in Yoong-Jae, somehow I managed to get Yoong-Jae to go shopping with us today. We arrived at a large supermarket with a wide variety of products lined up on the shelves.
"Do you like it?" Seok-Hoon asked as we passed by a small counter where Daifuku was being sold. I nodded.
"Take it, I'll give it to you" he continued. In his own way, he was trying to convince me to take the daifuku.
"What have you guys already bought?" I asked as I caught up with Sera and Yoong-Jae who were already carrying a shopping basket. "Meat, eggs, zucchini... I think that's enough for today" replied Sera
"Wait a minute, I'm going to buy some ingredients for kimbab" Seok-Hoon
We just watched in amazement at his impulsive action, not knowing what was in his mind that he was planning to make kimbab...
"Are we going to buy cake?" Sera asked excitedly..
"These cakes are very interesting, but I just bought daifuku, what do you think?"
"Daifuku is delicious... daifuku for todayseems like a better choice"
So, we bought 12 daifuku and 12 macarons for our evening snack..
