Better Late Than Single (모태솔로지만 연애는 하고 싶어)

‪Oh, it's the day ‪before the final decision.

‪FINAL DECISION IN 1 DAY

‪- Oh, yes. One more day. ‪-Already?

‪

‪TODAY'S DATES ARE ‪LET-IT-ALL-OUT DATES

‪ Let-it-all-out dates.

‪ You're right.

‪"Let-it-all-out dates"?

‪ "Let-it-all-out date."

‪- Really? ‪- Yeah.

‪This is their last chance ‪to talk to one another,

‪so whether they wish to confess ‪their feelings or apologize,

‪I'd like our eternal singles ‪to get everything off their chests.

‪Absolute last chance.

‪If no one chooses me, ‪and I don't choose anyone,

‪I don't go on a date, right?

‪- Yeah. ‪-Right, then you don't.

‪-But if someone chooses me, then I do? ‪- Yeah, then you'd go on a date.

‪My thought was that if Su-ji had ‪made up her mind one way or another,

‪she would choose me ‪for the let-it-all-out date

‪to tell me about her decision.

‪There's not much Jung-yun can do now, ‪to be honest.

‪Five minutes left.

‪

‪Because I'd been the one to request her ‪on dates, including the secret date,

‪I'd constantly felt like ‪there was no mutual interest.

‪So I really went back and forth ‪on whether I should request her or not.

‪My thinking was that,

‪even if I didn't request her, ‪if Jeong-eun requested me,

‪that would serve as ‪some kind of confirmation.

‪ Because, uh, yesterday,

‪I didn't get to choose anyone,

‪I was determined to at least choose ‪someone for this date today.

‪ When I got the text, ‪I honestly didn't hesitate much.

‪Su-ji will pick Hyuk-joon, right?

‪ It was an easy decision for me.

‪Is this date guaranteed ‪as long as you pick someone, or…

‪This one is. It's guaranteed.

‪-So one could go on multiple dates again? ‪- Yep.

‪ That must be bothering her.

‪

‪- Pressure's on. ‪-Hi. Soo-hyun, got a sec?

‪-Me? ‪- Real quick.

‪What?

‪Here. This is a letter.

‪-Ooh! ‪-And this, you can check out later.

‪Uh, I'm not, uh, going on a date today.

‪-Oh, you're not? Why? ‪-Yeah, really.

‪I don't think I have anything to say today ‪that hasn't already been said.

‪-So I just put everything in here. ‪-Oh, really?

‪-I wrote a lot in the letter. ‪-Oh, so no date?

‪-No date. ‪-Okay. Right.

‪I'll see you later, then.

‪ She's completely baffled.

‪Tae-hoon came to see me ‪and gave me this gift

‪and told me that he wasn't ‪going to request a date today.

‪And in his letter, he wrote ‪that I was an attractive person

‪and that maybe I'd been hurt ‪by his lukewarm response.

‪Last time, he told me that his feelings ‪had changed somewhat,

‪so I wondered if this was what ‪he'd been referring to.

‪It made me think that, ‪if I requested him today,

‪I'd be putting too much pressure on him,

‪so I wasn't sure what to do.

‪So instead of going on a date with her,

‪Tae-hoon wrote ‪what he wanted to say in a letter.

‪Given how much effort ‪he put into this letter,

‪Soo-hyun should accept it ‪and close the door on this connection.

‪-Maybe that way, it'll hurt less. ‪- Yeah.

‪But I don't think she'll get that.

‪At least not in this moment, ‪'cause she still has feelings for him.

‪Yeah. I mean, the letter is one thing,

‪but the fact that he didn't ‪want to go on a date

‪is what's significant, right?

‪-Of course. Mmm. ‪- Right.

‪FINAL DECISION IN 1 DAY ‪THE LET-IT-ALL-OUT DATES BEGIN

‪ Jin-woo.

‪ I didn't request a date today, ‪but I was told I was going on one,

‪so I wondered if she had requested me.

‪I wondered if Jeong-eun was ‪the one who had requested me.

‪Did Jeong-eun request him?

‪

‪- Han-ju! ‪-Hello.

‪Han-ju finally mustered up ‪the courage at the end. Good.

‪-Here you are. ‪-Here I am.

‪ Han-ju was the one ‪who showed up.

‪I don't think it was disappointment. ‪It was something

‪I had suspected might happen, so…

‪rather than disappointment,

‪it felt like I was getting ‪closer to resignation.

‪LET-IT-ALL-OUT DATE ‪HAN-JU & JIN-WOO

‪THIS DATE WAS REQUESTED ‪BY HAN-JU

‪We do need to let it all out, but we did ‪let out quite a lot yesterday, so…

‪ We talked a lot ‪yesterday, right?

‪ I chose Jin-woo ‪without hesitation.

‪In fact, I still have feelings for him.

‪The reason I haven't shown ‪any particular interest in him so far

‪is that I thought he didn't ever once ‪consider me as a potential partner at all.

‪But since he says he hasn't ‪completely ruled me out,

‪I decided to keep ‪expressing my feelings for him.

‪I think she definitely found the courage, ‪based on their conversation last night.

‪When I got back to my room last night,

‪I was like, ‪"Ugh, I wish I'd spoken better."

‪I was just rambling on and on.

‪Oh, I thought the same thing.

‪I was like, "All I did was ramble. ‪And I was totally incoherent."

‪I know. I was like, "Damn, ‪I should've said this and that."

‪Well, reorganize your thoughts ‪and go again.

‪Reorganize them?

‪

‪You first?

‪You know we talked about various stuff ‪during the game yesterday?

‪We talked about our feelings, ‪although indirectly.

‪And the look on your face ‪when you were talking made me feel bad.

‪Oh, no, my face? ‪I was trying not to show anything.

‪Your mouth was smiling, ‪but your eyes weren't.

‪Oh, I thought I was good ‪at hiding my emotions,

‪but everyone seems to know ‪what I'm thinking.

‪I'd never seen such a bitter expression.

‪-Only your mouth was smiling. ‪-

‪I think Jin-woo must have been ‪paying attention to Han-ju all along.

‪You're right. That's how he remembers ‪all her facial expressions.

‪

‪Take your time.

‪I wasn't sure if, last night, ‪if you were saying

‪your final decision was still open or…

‪or if you were just…

‪apologizing to me.

‪-It's confusing. It really is. ‪-It is confusing.

‪It's something I'm still ‪grappling with, actually.

‪To be doing it this late

‪makes me wonder ‪if I'm just a weird person, and…

‪Before you and I had ‪that conversation last night,

‪I was actually not planning ‪on making a final decision at all.

‪Because…

‪Well, you and I have ‪quite similar personalities,

‪and I have never developed feelings ‪for someone

‪if I didn't have that from the start.

‪So I thought it was pointless ‪to keep trying with someone

‪who wasn't interested in me.

‪So I kept going on dates with Hyuk-joon…

‪Mm-hmm.

‪…and decided not to choose anyone.

‪But now…

‪If you're still deciding, ‪then I'm not so sure anymore.

‪I know it's weird for me ‪not to know my own feelings

‪after all this time, but I can't help it.

‪I'm still kind of confused.

‪I see.

‪I think Jin-woo feels both grateful ‪and apologetic towards Han-ju.

‪He feels bad because if he tells her ‪after all this time that he likes her…

‪I didn't know that you cried.

‪Would you tell me why?

‪Because of a personal matter.

‪It wasn't really about anyone ‪in particular.

‪But you were part ‪of what I was struggling with.

‪Even approaching someone who ‪expressed their feelings for me was scary.

‪I was really grateful…

‪but I don't think I was ready ‪to accept someone

‪who expressed their feelings for me.

‪So I was really confused about how…

‪how to move forward with it.

‪-Am I really saying this? ‪-

‪I see you're even more ‪in your own head than I expected.

‪I wish we had more time ‪to get to know each other.

‪What?

‪Maybe I should've used one of the dates ‪on you instead of Hyuk-joon.

‪Because he kind of seemed more… more open.

‪Not open, but he seemed willing ‪to get to know other people.

‪Like, willing to talk to them.

‪While you seemed to be ignoring me ‪absolutely completely.

‪- Absolutely not. ‪-So that's my reason.

‪-I wasn't totally ignoring you. ‪-Yeah, well, that's how it felt.

‪When did I do that?

‪You definitely did.

‪What does the final decision mean to you?

‪The final decision is like, well…

‪In the final decision, ‪I think I'd choose someone

‪who I want to get more serious with ‪once the show is over.

‪"Should we keep in touch after the show?" ‪That kind of thing.

‪Why? What does it mean to you?

‪I don't know. I don't know ‪how much thought I should put into it.

‪Because it's up to each person ‪to decide what it means.

‪Oh, right, right.

‪Just follow your heart.

‪Well, since our time here ‪is coming to an end,

‪I might as well say this.

‪I don't know how much weight ‪the final decision carries.

‪-Mm-hmm. ‪-But, uh…

‪I'm just going to pick you.

‪Just so you know.

‪

‪ Wow.

‪- ‪- "I'm just going to pick you."

‪Han-ju is just so cool.

‪- Lee Han-ju! ‪- Wow!

‪That's a declaration.

‪You don't need to feel pressured.

‪Definitely don't feel bad for me.

‪ That's so cool.

‪I can't look you in the eyes.
