First Love Sharehouse 3rd Night

According to a study, it only takes 0.2 seconds to fall in love. Let's find out how they truly feel about each other! 

Mysterious 'Inner Heart' Postcard

DJ Yoon Ju returns with <First Love, Again Radio>. Their 'inner heart' messages have been sent in anonymously to express interest in someone. Who are the recipients?

For the men, the first message is for Youngbae. Since he has not had the chance to talk with anyone else yet, he thinks the message is from Hanseul. The popular guy at the house turns out to be Jeseok who received two messages. One is probably from Jian but who is the other 'high five' message from? The last one is for Hanbyeol. A short and confusing message. Who is it from? And sadly, Jimyung did not receive a message. But like he said, it has only been 3 days... "I can do it! Passion!"

For the women, Heeram received two messages making her feel like the main character in a drama right now. One message is for Hanseul and the last one is for Yeonju. Jian must feel a bit disappointed to have not received a message from her first love...

Sweet & Bitter Chocolate Bread Confession

The mystery guy who sent a message to Yeonju knows she loves chocolate, and sweetly left desserts for her at her door. Worried about who it may be from, Heeram tells her to go check. Yeonju is touched by the sweet gift and cannot hide her excitement. Heart fluttering~ Heeram looks serious though trying to figure out who sent the gift. And is disheartened to find out that it was her first love, Jimyung, who sent the gift to Yeonju. Although she understands it is over between them, it is still not easy to move on...

A Choice Date for the First Loves

The four people who were summoned, Yeonju, Hanseul, Jimyung, and Jeseok, will get to ask anyone out on a date tomorrow. They write down their date request on a postcard and places it in the recipient's mailbox in front of their door. Their choices are...

  • Jimyung → Yeonju
  • Yeonju → Hanbyeol
  • Hanseul → Jeseok
  • Jeseok → Heeram

The night deepens at 'First Love Sharehouse' with complex emotions...

First Love, Again

Han Seul & Je Seok: Maybe Between Us

The next morning, Hanseul and Jeseok head out for an amusement park date at Lotte World. She sweetly brings coffee, while he opens the car door for her like a gentleman. Surprised by the unexpected date request, he asks why she chose him. Among all the guys he is the most difficult to read according to her. She is curious about him and wants to get to know him.

Arriving at Lotte World, the first thing to do is to change into school uniforms. A must-do! This is the first time she has ever worn a school uniform so she is excited. They look cute~

The two enjoy thrilling rides at the amusement park screaming and laughing away. But as the studio panel points out, there are no heart flutters for Jeseok. A very different vibe than when he was on a date with Heeram where he actively approaches and leads.

Over lunch, the mood gets awkward. He notices how uncomfortable she looks. Feeling tense about the date with someone new, Hanseul cannot even properly eat or have fun...

Confusing 'Inner Heart' Puzzle

At the same time, others back at the sharehouse grab morning coffee together. Talking about the heart messages from last night, they play detective trying to figure things out. But with no reason to hide anything, Heeram directly says she sent hers to Youngbae. Wow, unexpected! And Jian sent hers to Jeseok of course. While Hanbyeol is still trying to figure out if Yeonju is the one who sent him the message...

Luckily, the viewers do not have to guess... The senders are revealed!

  • Jian → Jeseok
  • Heeram → Youngbae
  • Hanseul → Jeseok
  • Yeonju → Hanbyeol
  • Jeseok → Heeram
  • Jimyung → Yeonju
  • Youngbae → Hanseul
  • Hanbyeol → Heeram

Another shocking reveal is that Hanbyeol is also interested in Heeram... Ooh!

Ji Myung & Yeon Ju: A Time for Us to Get Close

Jimyung who showed interest in Yeonju since Day 1 is excited to go on his first date with her. The mood in the car is a bit awkward... But he even remembers her birthday already showing a lot of sincerity. And when she mentions her lap is burning up from the sunlight, he takes off his white dress shirt for her to use as a cover. Making her heart flutter~

At the restaurant, the two are awkward again. So she begins asking random questions about his preferences to see if they match. From coffee to fried chicken or pizza, their tastes do not match at all. And later when they do find a match, she goes in for a handshake while he goes in with a fist bump to celebrate. Hahaha... so awkwardly different...

Wanting to know how she feels, he gets straight to the point asking how things are going with Hanbyeol. "Like a brother," she says. Though it has been 2 years since they talked, she feels even more comfortable with him now. She then asks Jimyung what he would do if the person he is interested in is still interested in her ex. "It'd be hard, but I'd give it my all," he says. This is a confirmation of his feelings letting her know he will not give up.

The 'Inner Heart' Becomes Clearer

Seeing Hanseul and Jeseok return from their date, Youngbae looks flustered while Jian looks devastated. Not easy to see their first loves with someone else...

And when Hanseul reveals who she sent her 'inner heart' message to last night, he also finds out she did not choose him. During the interview, Youngbae said, "I was in absolute shock...It is the start of a drama filled with plot twists." He, who was overly confident, now realizes she came here with an open mind. Will this motivate him to try harder to earn her love again?

For Hanbyeol, who is now certain Yeonju sent him a message, the puzzle is solved. It is now clear she still does have interest in him. At this time, Jimyung returns home from his date. An awkward tension in the room... But he returned alone without Yeonju... After a fun date at the noraebang, she sent him back by himself rather than returning home with him first. Does she not want Hanbyeol to see her returning with him? Or is she drawing a line?

Time for Hanbyeol to go meet Yeonju on a date now... One woman and a man from her past, and a new man in her present... How will this complex love triangle unfold?
