The Probability of Meeting Your Ex on a Straight Dating Show Chapter 18

Even at the cheerful laughter, Seojeong couldn’t laugh along. How many people could laugh in a situation where someone they loved was jealous over them because of someone else?

Without realizing it, Seojeong tightened his grip on the plate he was holding. The pressure made the plate rub and squeak.

At the unfamiliar noise, Jua reflexively turned her head and noticed the veins rising on Seojeong’s forearm. Her face, blinking and fixed on him, filled with puzzlement.

Seeing Jua’s hand frozen while holding a plate, Seojeong called out to her.

“Ms. Jua, what’s wrong?”

“Huh? Ah… nothing.”

Shaking her head, Jua moved her hands as if nothing had happened. Seojeong, tilting his head, also immersed himself back in the dishes. After Ki Seojeong’s gaze moved away, a subtle smile bloomed on Jua’s face a little later.

Jua set down the fully degreased plate and thought to herself:

Maybe, just maybe, this isn’t just someone’s one-sided feelings after all.

— I passed out last week and just woke up now

— Naekbu Day has finally returned

— Now there are 8 minutes left, and time is crawling like crazy

⤷ Wake me up after 8 minutes please

⤷⤷ Get up

— Random, but our Dalgle has great momentum—episode 2 hasn’t even dropped yet and we’re already on Round 8

⤷ Everyone here lives that disciplined life

⤷⤷ Right, Naekbu is real life—school and work are the fake life

⤷⤷⤷ True

— Starting

— Let’s go

— How does Seojeong even look like that with a just-woken-up face

⤷ Thought I wrote that

— What’s with the muttering

— Is he reacting like that because Cha Yoon isn’t there after waking up?

— Aigo, Seojeong must be really tiredㅠㅠ

⤷ I’d be tired too if I were him.. every time he opens his mouth, someone nitpicks and makes his life miserableㅜ

⤷⤷ Agreed

— It’s still only Day 1 and he’s already like thisㅠㅠ

— Is it just me or do his eyes look a little wistful?

— The way Seojeong looks at Cha Yoon’s bed is so melodramatic

⤷ Exactly—his eyes are filled with sorrow;;

— Honestly, after just episode 1, I thought Seojeong didn’t care at all and it was only Cha Yoon with one-sided negative feelings?? But after seeing the opening of episode 2, it seems like Seojeong also cares about Cha Yoon a lot

⤷ (Gif) Look at this—he keeps glancing at Cha Yoon’s bed from the moment he wakes up until he goes to wash up..

⤷⤷ Whoa, really..

⤷⤷ How could he not care when someone torments him like that;

— 5 minutes into episode 2 and I’m already drooling, shit lol

— So it was mutual

— Wow, honestly the comments above are creepy.. honestly, if this were a workplace, this would be reportable as workplace harassment.. and you’re packaging it like this?

⤷ Exactly—people are way too lenient just because it’s Cha Yoon

⤷ 333 Isn’t he being too harsh on Seojeong..;

⤷ Now we’re bringing up workplace harassment here—enough with the overreactions

⤷ Serious police out

— Just watch it; it’s a variety show—if you’re going to watch it to laugh and then charge in like it’s life or death, what then?

⤷ 2222 If it bothers you that much, just drop out—simple

⤷ 3 I don’t care—just drop out

— Maybe it’s because Seojeong has that neat, clean-cut handsome face, but suits look amazing on him

⤷ Long neck and broad shoulders—he really pulls off suits well

— But you know, the best way to appreciate a body like that is to strip it off

⤷ Agreed, and Cha Yoon’s body too

⤷⤷ All Dalgle users agree with this comment

— I don’t usually say this about men, but Seojeong tiptoeing and then getting startled by Jua is cute

⤷ (Gif) I already made a gif

⤷⤷ fcklolCan I save it?

⤷⤷⤷ Yeah save away

⤷⤷⤷⤷ Thx

— Aren’t Seojeong and Jua total opposites? Seojeong is hyper-considerate of others, while Jua is truly free (in a good way)

⤷ Agreed—that’s why they seem to clicklol

⤷ Agreed—opposites attract, that’s exactly it

— Speaking of opposites attracting, the most likely pairing is um…

⤷ Teacher, there’s no subject but I can see it

⤷ I suppose it’s demon and angel…

⤷⤷ lollollol

— Carpool?

— Wow, an unofficial date request on day 2lol So fast

— Kya, that’s so like a womanlol

— Seojeong must be surprised—his pupils are moving like crazylolㄱㄲlol

⤷ For real, he’s just earthquake manlol

— A wish coupon—Jua is amazinglol

— Now this feels like a dating showㅠㅠㅠㅠ

— Teachers, my lips are acting weird—they keep rising without knowing how high the sky is

⤷ Pull-down lip surgery needed

— You know how guys like Seojeong tend to fall head over heels for someone who actively flirts with them—in that sense, I’m shipping Seojeong-Jua again

⤷ I never dropped Seojeong-Jua in the first placelol

⤷ Boarding.

⤷ From the Seojeong-Jua long-haul squad

— Who’s coming in at this timing;

— Ah who ruined the moodㅡㅡ

— Whoever you are, get back out

— It was Cha Yoon fck

— Mood killer is legendary

— Amidst all this, Cha Yoon’s visuals are working hard today too..

— He’s sweaty but looks like he wouldn’t smell

⤷ For real, he looks like he’d smell fresh and cool

⤷ Isn’t this a Pocari CF or something

— He sweated so much—shouldn’t he take his clothes off? I’m worried he might overheat

⤷ Pretending to be concerned while feeding your own desires

⤷⤷ Shh, quiet.

— “What the hell” is hilarious fcklol

— I’m actually surprised right now; Cha Yoon almost used banmal for a second and quickly corrected himself, right? So he does have awareness of the broadcast..?

⤷ Right lol lollol

⤷ If that’s his level of awareness even while being conscious of it ㄷㄷ

⤷ How far would he go if he had no awareness at all

— No, Cha Yoon, you shouldn’t sit there.. have some awareness ㅜ

— He eventually sits down—hmm… yes…ㅎㅎ

— But Cha Yoon and Jua’s conversation is really natural

⤷ Yeah, no awkwardness

⤷ Are they X’s..?

⤷⤷ I think that’s highly likely

— Why is Cha Yoon and Jua’s back-and-forth so good?

⤷ Right rightㅠㅠㅠㅠ

⤷ It’s just delicious

— Everyone, don’t trust Cha Yoon so easily—remember the plot twist from Day 1

⤷ Agreed—Cha Yoon isn’t a typical character; he just treats everyone however he pleases

⤷ I got tricked in episode 1 too, so I’m staying skeptical for now

— Huh? Looks like Cha Yoon and Jua are indeed the X’s?

⤷ Exactly—otherwise how would he know their offices are in different directions

— Wow holy shit, looks like this time it’s real—amazinglol

— So him butting in wasn’t because he’s clueless, but to interfere with Seojeong-Jua? fck

⤷ What a fox

⤷ Ugh fck I’m going crazy

— Look at her not hiding the wish coupon and just bringing it up right away

— So damn intriguing

— Shit, 10 minutes into episode 2 and I’m already beaming.

— How can he tell a lie so transparently, crazy lol

— What insane person goes for a drive without showering when they’re dripping with sweat

⤷ Exactly—just admit you’re jealouslol

— Look at Jua’s cheekbones risinglol She sees right through the lies

— What do I do—I’ve started finding Cha Yoon cute…

⤷ Me tooㅎ

⤷ Normal.

— Ahhh this is so fucking fun, what do I do

— While everyone’s going crazy over Cha Yoon-Jua, I’m the only one noticing Seojeong..ㅜㅜ

⤷ Me tooㅠㅠIn that situation, Seojeong must feel so out of place

⤷ I wasn’t the only one—his expression looks a bit embarrassed tooㅜ

— Sigh, in the end Seojeong steps aside

— Even in the face of love, kind Dajeong..

⤷ Suddenly love?

⤷ Overreaction no

⤷ How long have they even known each other to talk about love

— Seojeong’s back view suddenly looks so pitiful—I want to hug himㅠㅠ

⤷ Someone’s subtly trying to fulfill their own desires here

⤷⤷ …Was it that obvious?

⤷⤷⤷ Totally

— What, where’s Cha Yoon going? Is he just going in to shower?

— Is this really how the situation ends?

— ?? He made up such ridiculous lies and then doesn’t even give her a ride?

— What… is this?

— How is this playing out?

— He got rid of the rival, so that’s it?

⤷ Exactly—I’m so confused right now;;

— Fuck, Jua just casually leaves alone without even looking disappointed—is this right?….

— Maximum confusion

— The actual parties don’t seem bothered at all, and here we are feeling disappointed for them;;;
