Episode 2 - Don't Think About the Lies
Han Bareum's Pink Lie
Bareum reveals that his family struggled financially since he was young with his mom as the sole breadwinner of the household. Realizing how poor they were, it was the driving force for him to study harder. After graduating from KAIST, he is working at Samsung Electronics as a senior researcher. His hidden secret is... "I'm currently giving more than 50% of my paycheck to my parents," he said. "I'm curious if any woman is willing to understand this." He uses only about 20% of his paycheck on himself, while the rest is mostly spent on supporting his family. Will he meet someone who can empathize?
Pink Lie First Dates
The 'Pink Moon' rises in the morning with a new message for the cast: Today is finally the 1:1 date! The men will ask for a 1:1 date with a woman they like. With 4 men and 3 women, time is of essence as one guy will be left out...
Not wasting any time, Hanu goes straight to Daon! But she looks hesitant and wants to know who Hangyeol will choose. Whatever his secret is, it does not seem to be a dealbreaker even after finding out last night.
Bareum chooses Hanui whose calm demeanor is closest to his ideal type. But she reveals in the interview that it was Hanu who she had wanted to go on a date with.
Chansol is on the move next and chooses Dahae. Later, Hangyeol also asks her out. Dahae is chosen by two men, but can only pick one... After making up her mind, she picks Chansol! Our maknae Hangyeol will be sadly spending the entire day at home alone...
Hanui & Bareum's First Date
π Hongdae νλ
Hanui tells Bareum she has not dated for 6 years so she is excited. He takes her to Hongdae to experience the youth culture. After having delicious tteokbokki for lunch, they go for a walk around Hongdae, and have fun hitting some baseballs at a batting cage.
Hearing how Hanui worked part-time and took out student loans instead of asking parents for an allowance, Bareum thinks they may have similar childhoods. Hoping to find someone who can see eye to eye with him, he said, "I thought maybe my secret may not faze her."
Since it has been a long time since she got dressed up and wore heels for a date, Hanui got emotional during the interview. "I was happy throughout our date, so my feelings for Bareum increased a lot," she said. "I think this will be something I'll reminisce about."
Daon & Hanu's First Date
π Haebangchon ν΄λ°©μ΄
Hanu jumps in the passenger seat, and tells Daon to drive since he is not familiar with Seoul streets. They form an instant connection talking about music preferences. Both are BIG fans of rock music! Nirvana, Deep Purple, etc... An unexpected surprise for her to find out they do have similar music tastes. Getting so hot that she needs to turn up the AC!
Taking the lead, she brings him to a place she often visits. An LP bar in Haebangchon. Music fills the room while they enjoy coffee and dessert (though he is not a fan of coffee at all). And afterwards, they hit up an LP store in Euljiro. Fully immersed in their own world, they listen to music together. Like a romantic scene straight out of a movie~ The date wraps up with a cute gift exchange, picking out an LP for each other.
"We have more things in common than I thought we did. He was very sentimental," she said in the interview. "He was like a warmhearted country boy." Her interest in him is growing after discovering an unexpected side of him. And Hanu felt the same. "I like her. We clicked. Time flew by with her," he said.
Dahae & Chansol's First Date
π Lotte World λ‘―λ°μλ & Olympic Park μ¬λ¦Όν½κ³΅μ
Since Dahae is a hyper person, Chansol planned a fun and energetic date at Lotte World. It is on her list of things she wanted to do so she is on cloud nine. The two are just overflowing with chemistry! Despite a hard "NO" earlier, Chansol changes into a school uniform to match her. Cute! They enjoy the scary rides, screaming, and not letting go of each other's hands. It is only Day 2, but they already look like a couple~ "I got butterflies because we held hands," she tells him. And he replies with a chuckle, "I'm feeling shy."
Afterwards, they enjoy a picnic on One Tree Hill at Olympic Park. Having fun with each other all day, they do not want this date to end as both express not wanting to go home.
Meanwhile, Hangyeol is yawning away at home alone dying of boredom... But he does seem to be a good cook as Chansol pointed out... Why is he trying to hide it??
Convey Your Heart
Once everyone returns from their dates, the 'Pink Moon' rises with a new message: <Convey Your Heart> Send the name of the individual who made your heart flutter today and message to production staff. *will be sent out anonymously
As expected, the couples who went out on a date texted each other while Hangyeol sadly did not receive a message. And surprisingly Hangyeol sent a message to Hanui... ooh~
The 2nd Night Draws In
The mutual attraction is strong with Dahae and Chansol who are incessantly flirting with each other. Oh my, that tension in the fitness room!
Meanwhile, the rest of the guys are upstairs in their room chatting about the dates. Daon just so happens heads to the 2F living room to listen to the LP which is next to their room. And so she overhears their convo... Hanu is saying he won't pick Daon again for a date tomorrow as he wants to get to know the other ladies too... She marches into their room to confront him, "I heard everything!" Looks like she is just messing with him, but he is flustered and tries to flee before nervously trying to explain himself... The beginning of a rift??
Later in the evening, Chansol, Hangyeol, Dahae, and Hanui chat over some wine. They start talking about body profile pics and whether or not it is okay to go nude. Hanui sits and quietly listens, lost in thought over the sensitive topic... As a reminder, the cast does not know of her secret as a former adult actress yet. In the interview, she said, "I suddenly felt a wall between us. I felt distant from them..." Oh no... how will everyone react when they do find out...
After everyone calls it a night, Chansol heads outside for a smoke with Dahae by his side...
Since they are not allowed to openly share their secrets... Not serious, right? But is someone among the cast possibly hiding a secret as a single parent...??
