【Love Code】 Episode 8.

 

It begins with the female contestants gathering on the Dormitory First Floor to warm up.

 

The women’s battle for the Christmas date selection right.

 

Five women, four men.

 

A structure where inevitably one person has to be left out.

 

“But that doesn’t necessarily mean only one person will be left out.”

 

“Right?”

 

“Yes, there might be people who think ‘I’d rather not go than date someone I have no feelings for’…”

 

“But Ji-an and Hyun-jun are pretty much confirmed, right? This makes the ratio really…”

 

“Come to think of it, I have no idea who Da-jeong will choose, since she hasn’t said anything at all.”

 

“Actually, that’s what I’m most curious about too, who exactly did she shed tears for?”

 

“Oh, that line just now sounded very musical-like.”

 

The panelists were extremely curious about what kind of competition would be used to select people.

 

A moment later.

 

-“The game for the date selection right is rock-paper-scissors.”

 

A surprisingly bland game emerges for something gathered through Broadcasting.

 

The thought that they gathered people so seriously just to play rock-paper-scissors was brief.

 

An explanation follows about why it’s rock-paper-scissors and how the date selection process works.

 

“Ah, so they play rock-paper-scissors… and the 1st place person gets the date selection right and goes on the Christmas date immediately.”

 

“From 2nd place onwards, they choose from Personal Items the men prepared beforehand… and date based on that. If they get the item wrong? Do they meet someone else?”

 

“This is really like those old blind dates, where you pick who owns what item and get paired up to go out.”

 

“So 5th place stays at the Accommodation? On Christmas? Isn’t that too cruel?”

 

The panelists seemed to understand the game format as each added their own comments.

 

Meanwhile, the screen switches back to the Accommodation to broadcast the female contestants playing rock-paper-scissors.

 

A truly simple game beyond measure.

 

But 1st place can definitely choose whoever they want on Christmas.

 

To claim that privilege.

 

“Rock-paper-scissors!”

 

Tense yet funny, trivial yet serious rock-paper-scissors began.

 

The moment five hands went up and then fell down simultaneously.

 

“Kyaa!”

 

“Ah!”

 

The rankings were decided.

 

Time jumps forward to Christmas day itself.

 

On some Tree-lined Street.

 

Under a Christmas Tree in the distance brilliantly emitting lights.

 

“…Hmm.”

 

Mungi quietly waits for someone.

 

While maintaining an expectant and fluttering gaze despite knowing who the other person is.

 

Quietly looking up at the sky once, then at the ground, then around, repeating this pattern.

 

“Wait, Mungi… hold on, is he really doing those romantic eyes now?”

 

“Exactly, this is quite unfair, you know? During the hotel date he was so relaxed, making expressions like a neighborhood friend.”

 

“But for outdoor dating, maybe because he needs to show a truly lover-like appearance… wow, this is unbelievable.”

 

“But Mungi really dresses incredibly well, isn’t he a model rather than an internet broadcaster?”

 

“I’m tired of complimenting him, really. But what can you do when he looks like that… and dresses well too.”

 

“A coat that falls cleanly… cardigan, and even knit… isn’t he just a real boyfriend?”

 

“So who is the other person! Why won’t they show us!”

 

Without showing the result, only blaming the camera that focused on Mungi.

 

The panelists urged them to quickly show who he was dating.

 

Shortly after.

 

Step by step.

 

Starting from the legs, the figure of the woman who chose Mungi slowly reveals itself.

 

Pink hair, a woman whose precious aura was clearly evident, facial features that anyone would think must be famous.

 

“Mungi oppa, ta-da, I’m here.”

 

It was Yoo Na-kyung.

 

+++++++

 

Generally, everyone has prejudices based on appearance.

 

For example, when seeing a beautiful person, naturally thinking they must have dated a lot.

 

Often judging that they’re living up to the value of their appearance.

 

And such judgments were mostly correct.

 

There actually were many such tendencies, and physiognomy wasn’t completely superstition either.

 

But.

 

‘Wait, but do I really look like I’ve dated that much?’

 

Yoo Na-kyung was honestly a somewhat unfair case.

 

It was true that she had worked as a Maxim model and attended various parties.

 

‘A person might not have dated before.’

 

Yoo Na-kyung was truly a 100% pure lifelong single person.

 

Actually, what she said about only having rejected people at the bar where she met Mungi was for that reason.

 

Anyway, the reason Yoo Na-kyung was muttering this story to herself was.

 

That was because.

 

“Mungi oppa, ta-da, I’m here.”

 

She was insanely nervous.

 

What’s the reason for appearing on a dating show? People say it’s to become famous, to establish themselves as influencers.

 

Of course, that’s not wrong. But for Yoo Na-kyung, that reason was only about 10%.

 

90% was naturally to date.

 

Then couldn’t she just do it privately? Couldn’t she meet anyone anyway?

 

They’re all talking nonsense.

 

Rather, you could say that having a long blind date on this kind of public program is the proper way to get to know that person.

 

Even if the other person wasn’t sincere, her mindset was that it was fine as long as she was sincere.

 

‘Being together for 3 weeks, there’s nothing better than this for getting to know that person…’

 

What kind of blind date involves living together for 3 whole weeks?

 

Yoo Na-kyung decided to participate in the dating program for these reasons.

 

And now for the first time.

 

Not just acting for broadcast purposes like during the hotel date, not for provocative scenes.

 

“You’re here?”

 

“You waited a long time, didn’t you? I’m sorry.”

 

“No, I’ve been here about 10 minutes? I always arrive right on time for appointments.”

 

She felt her body filled with excitement for a real date.

 

Mungi.

 

A person whose nickname was more familiar than his real name.

 

Their first meeting was by chance, but if they were meeting again here, could it only be fate?

 

Thinking this to herself,

 

“Let’s go!”

 

Na-kyung naturally tried to walk ahead of Mungi.

 

“We should go together, where are you going alone.”

 

Mungi immediately grabbed Na-kyung’s wrist, preventing her from running ahead.

 

And the panelists who saw this.

 

“Wow, look at how big Mungi’s hands are… This is unbelievable?”

 

“Those are hands that grab a woman’s heart, hands that grab it.”

 

“He’s a charmer, a charmer… We really need to report this.”

 

“Look at that, those romantic eyes!”

 

“No, but when the two of them walk together like that, it looks like they’re shooting a pictorial or drama or something.”

 

“Right, it’s really wow… They’re making eye contact and smiling, it’s just crazy.”

 

Chaos erupted.

 

At the same time.

 

“Wait, wait, wait!!! I was right when I said he could make it, admit it. I thought he could do it, but… but I didn’t know he’d be this good at escorting… Mungi! Mungi! That’s the setup I coordinated for you, don’t forget that? Even on the date, remember that you’re wearing… wearing the clothes I set up for you!”

 

Ttaranta was also in chaos.

 

No, why is he smiling so happily like he’s having fun?

 

Even more.

 

“…What happened on the bed could be directing so I could just let that slide, but the date is really not okay, right? Facing each other at a fine dining restaurant drinking wine… th, that kind of thing is a bit… not okay, right? Isn’t it too much?”

 

The scene of them having such an intimate conversation made Ttaranta go crazy and jump around.

 

It’s a dating program, and if it’s a program, shouldn’t it be somewhat scripted like a program?

 

Why are the two of them proceeding like it’s 100% pure sincerity?

 

The conversation they were having was also very annoying.

 

“Oppa, did you know I would choose you?”

 

“To some extent…?”

 

“Wow, that confidence… so annoying.”

 

“We’re connected by fate again.”

 

“But you haven’t called me even once since then.”

 

“If I call, we’d have to meet, and if we meet, things get complicated.”

 

Should I say they were having a conversation at the stage right before becoming truly close?

 

Ttaranta thought she might get so angry watching episode 8 of 【Love Code】 that she’d get sick from rage.

 

But was she the only one getting this angry?

 

– Mung-ppo *3*

 

– Deep Mung-ppo =3=

 

– Deep Munghyeo “3”~

 

– Mungdeongi :3

 

– Front-facing Mung-ppo ( * 8 * )

 

– This is winking Mung-ppo >3=

 

The Chat Room was just filled with emoticons, everyone excited and having fun.

 

This didn’t make sense. Laughing and chatting while watching Mungi’s unfamiliar side, and even teasing him wasn’t enough.

 

‘Ugh…!’

 

Thud thud thud.

 

Ttaranta once again unleashed violence on the Bear Doll and in her anger wanted to turn off Mungi’s broadcast.

 

‘…But if I turn it off, what if something worse happens after I turn it off? What if I miss that?’

 

What was to come.

 

What absolutely had to be done.

 

She couldn’t turn off the broadcast, worried she might not be able to properly carry out the ‘Memory Overwriting’ process with herself.

 

Helpless.

 

She just had no choice but to watch!

 

‘I’ve been watching for 3 years, and we often give each other advice about our problems, and even though we’ve never actually met, we freely talk about our hardships… we’ve built up those memories, but just because he appeared on Netflix Love Code…!’

 

Enduring and enduring this hellish time, Ttaranta made a firm resolution.

 

‘No one can make a Higher Bidding for Mungi than me, that fashion sense… at least that part is mine.’

 

Mungi, let’s meet right now.

 

++++++++

 

Episode 8 of 【Love Code】 was starting to approach the final episodes.

 

It was full of content where the contestants’ love lines began to seriously waver.

 

During the Mungi x Yoo Na-kyung date.

 

“Oppa… are you still looking? For someone you like? Or someone to like?”

 

“Do I seem like it?”

 

“Um, no?”

 

“Then?”

 

“You seem like you’d like me?”

 

“Then when that time comes, I’ll tell you that I like you.”

 

They casually threw out statements that could easily rack up millions of views on shorts.

 

A refreshingly straightforward conversation consisting only of direct lines.

 

The Christmas dates of the other cast members were also all shown in episode 8.

 

But Mungi was definitely the main focus of this 【Love Code】, as most of the editing was devoted to him.

 

The long-flowing date, drinking until late at night.

 

Having brief conversations with the microphones turned off, someone crying, someone laughing.

 

Right the day after Christmas ended, mixed with various emotions.

 

The cast members seemed like they wouldn’t hide their feelings anymore.

 

At the end of episode 8.

 

“Want to play a truth game?”

 

Finally, they were about to openly touch Pandora’s box.

 

Click.

 

And with that, 【Love Code】 episode 8 ended.

 

“Well, then we just need to watch next week and the week after that and it’ll be over. Thanks everyone for watching together.”

 

I immediately switched the broadcast screen.

 

– Ah what

 

– Aren’t you doing any more reviews?

 

– You should tell us your reactions or thoughts

 

“I’ll do that after watching everything, after watching… after watching all 12 episodes. Opening up the entire honey pot right now wouldn’t be good for business.”

 

– Business my ass

 

– Commercial reaction ugh

 

– So what did you talk about when the microphone was off during the date!!!

 

“It’s a secret. Anyway, today… I’ll go to Lumia Island like I said before. When I tried it, there were many characters with familiar skill sets, so it looked easy to play.”

 

– What character are you going to play then

 

– Damn Mages I like you

 

– Damn Magnum!!!

 

“Stop with the memes, um… I think I’ll play Renri?”

 

After switching from subscriber-only broadcast back to public.

 

I immediately continued with the game.

 

Now what remained ahead were episodes 9, 10, 11, and 12.

 

With exactly 4 episodes left, I needed to properly capitalize on the Love Code influx during that time.

 

‘I absolutely won’t reveal broadcast content. Real-time reactions were the only contract condition.’

 

If Love Code viewers came and kept asking questions, I might slip up.

 

In times like this, the key was to quickly capitalize on the influx.

 

Anyway, I smoothly continued broadcasting even after Love Code ended.

 

Time flowed on until exactly one day before 【Love Code】 episodes 9 and 10 were set to air.

 

“…Wow, what’s this place? Why is this building so huge?”

 

I went out for the first time in a while for a men’s cosmetics advertisement model meeting.

 

I had been avoiding going out, wondering if there might be even a few people who would recognize me if I wandered around outside right now.

 

But I couldn’t pass up the advertising model meeting, so when I went to the pre-arranged meeting place.

 

“Huh?”

 

I was startled.

 

“Hello, Mungi.”

 

The one I saw at G-Star, who was wearing sunglasses.

 

‘She said she was my fan…?’

 

A woman who clearly gave off an aristocratic vibe was standing in front of me.

 

++++++

 

Same world, same space, same time.

 

‘Hehe… ehehe… something absolutely no one else can do… only I can do… calling Mungi… out for a meeting.’

 

Ttaranta barely suppressed the corners of her mouth from twitching like crazy as she looked at Mungi standing before her.

 

Whatever happens on 【Love Code】, it’s fine now, it doesn’t matter anymore.

 

Because we’ve met like this, in this moment.

 

‘…He came wearing exactly the outfit I set up for him today too.’

 

That fact.

 

Hehehe.

 

Made Ttaranta extremely happy.

 

It was the moment when a peaceful utopia where no one would die today had arrived for the bear dolls.
