The Probability of Meeting Your Ex on a Straight Dating Show Chapter 8

⤷ No conscience, what are you doing dragging regular people into this

⤷ The monthly post was running well, then my expression turned cold af

⤷ Is that funny? They don’t know when to stop;;;

⤷⤷ But honestly, it’s a bit funny

⤷⤷⤷ Read the room

— It’s ridiculous to tell people off for RPS lol. If you think about it, aren’t all the people running this monthly post also having meltdowns and doing RPS with the cast? We’re all the same, so why are you dividing ranks.

⤷ Exactly. Honestly, what’s the difference?

⤷ That’s what I’m saying lol. It’s ridiculous how they’re making a fuss just because it doesn’t suit their taste….

⤷⤷ It’s completely different. In a hetero dating show, is it right to be shipping guys together?

⤷⤷ Ewh, tsk. I don’t fight stupid people;

— ~ Gonna refresh the monthly post and go. Please, let’s run it in a mellow way ~

⤷ Yes

⤷ Refreshing, refreshing

— Oh, the two enter the room

— Wow, they said they spent a lot of money on the lodging, and it’s the real deal

— Everything else is good, but the beds are really disappointing

⤷ Why?? Because they’re small?

⤷⤷ No, because there are two of themㅜ;;

⤷⤷⤷ lolololololol

— Look at Seojeong organizing his luggage. His fingertips are so neat and capable.

⤷ He is the number one bridegroom candidate of South Korea.

— Gasp, Cha Yoon seems to be changing clothes

— Everyone focus

— Wow, even though the monthly post was leaking, it got so quiet that I thought my wifi cut out for a second.

⤷ Probably because it’s the highlight scene of all things

— Ah, why did he stop taking them off—

— Don’t call Seojeong, just take off your clothes, Mr. Cha Yoon.

— ??

— Why is Cha Yoon suddenly like that?

— Why is he asking Seojeong about his own problem of changing clothes?

— Cha Yoon, you are an adult.

— It’s my first time seeing someone pick a fight like that.

⤷ Seems like he had nothing to nitpick, so he just grabbed onto anything and started dragging it out.

— So, the clothes are just a pretext, and he’s really acting like that because of Minha, right??

⤷ Yeah.

— His jealousy is seriously fierce,,,

⤷ Seeing how he acts, it seems like the jealousy when he was dating must have been no joke.

— Thinking that he’s like that because of jealousy, it’s kind of cute in its own way.

⤷ Totally agree.

⤷ I’m not the only one who thinks that, what a relief ha.

⤷⤷ 2 I thought it was a minority taste and kept my mouth firmly shut.

— Whoa, look at Seojeong’s expression

— Wow, he said he lacks common sense lolol

— For real, a fight broke out

— Seojeong is beating Cha Yoon down with perfectly reasonable, point-by-point words.

— How about a dating show where the male cast get into a verbal fight from Episode 1?

⤷ F*** lolol

— Broadcasting naked body to the whole nation lololol

— “You’re not a baby, are you?” he says, and then look, he even designates the exact spot for him to take off his clothes.

⤷ In Seojeong’s eyes, he just seems like a baby, I guess.

⤷⤷ The way he acts is certainly like a little brat.

⤷⤷⤷ Agreed.

— I thought Cha Yoon was good at arguing since he charged right in, but in the end, he was the one who got beaten down. It’s both funny and sad.

⤷ Why did he mess around when he couldn’t even land a jab lol

⤷⤷ Because he can see nothing but love….

— Cha Yoon, certified lover-boy.

— Cha Yoon lost.

— He lost and can’t even fight back..

⤷ Oh dear ㅠ

— Seriously, it was a fight where he didn’t even recover his initial investment.. shudder.

— Um,,, I’m sorry to say this in this situation,,, but Mr. Cha Yoon, looking at men’s naked bodies is my only hobby,,, couldn’t I look instead of Mr. Seojeong?

⤷ lololololol Ah, excuse me (Gets in line).

— (GIF) But isn’t the part where Cha Yoon’s expression hardens delicious?

⤷ Shudder. Elsa, step aside.

⤷ When is this?

⤷⤷ 47:35, when Seojeong told him not to do this to someone who has nothing to do with it, and to do whatever the hell he wants.

— But he told him to do as he pleases, so why does he hate it?

⤷ He’s just a rival, so whatever he says rubs him the wrong way, I guess.

⤷ Isn’t it because he got mad that he drew a line? hehe

⤷⤷ ……;;

— We’re only on Episode 1, but him acting like that is a bit tiring.

⤷ 2

⤷ 33

— For the crime of causing fatigue to the viewers, Cha Yoon and Seojeong, let’s have a strip show.

⤷ In favor.

⤷ In favor.

⤷ Highly in favor.

— In the midst of this, why is Cha Yoon’s body so damn nice..

⤷ No conscience, every time he breathes, his muscles assert themselves like crazy.

⤷ Cha Yoon, by some law or another, go around shirtless from now on.

The meal preparation for the first day of move-in was carried out under the direction of Song Jua and Jeong Suho. Seojeong, having no talent for cooking, took on the task of trimming the ingredients.

He sliced the peeled potatoes. Every time he moved the knife, the sound of it tapping the cutting board was constant. Along with that sound, Seojeong hoped that the long, drawn-out thoughts of Cha Yoon would also be cut away.

But just like the story where you’re told not to think of an elephant and you end up thinking of one, the more he tried to sever the thoughts, the more they endlessly trickled after him.

In his head, the verbal fight in the room replayed once again. Strength entered the hand gripping the knife.

What should he do. Having passed through the stages of denial and anger and arrived at acceptance, Seojeong focused on the ‘method.’ Things like his own feelings had long been pushed to the back burner by Cha Yoon’s catastrophic behavior.

There was one goal. To finish filming without any problems and safely leave the house. To do that, Seojeong had to deal with Cha Yoon. And not just any Cha Yoon, but the Cha Yoon from that period when he was an absolute piece of trash.

The best method was not to run into Cha Yoon. But living in the same house, and on top of that, having even become roommates, there was no way that was possible. Seojeong had to think of the next best option.

“As expected….”

Is ignoring him the answer? Seojeong muttered, recalling a video he had once seen of ‘An overexcited Ppoppi seeing Dad back from a business trip!’ Indeed, it would be strange to expect a wildly excited puppy to calm down by you joining in and jumping around too. Cha Yoon was instantly demoted from an absolute piece of trash to just a ‘dog.’

Just because Cha Yoon had become twenty-two didn’t mean he himself could act like he was twenty-four. Yes, let’s ignore him. Maturely. Seojeong made what he considered the second-best decision.

“Mr. Ki Seojeong.”

As he was moving his hands with a more relaxed mind, someone spoke to him. It was Song Jua.

“Could you slice this too, together with those?”

Jua placed carrots on the table. The person who was Cha Yoon’s ex-lover. Knowing the fact, dealing with Song Jua felt even more awkward. But he couldn’t show it.

“Yes, I will.”

Seojeong answered, slightly averting his gaze. As was his habit, a smile was on his lips. He lowered his head again, as if trying to refocus on the task at hand. The sound of tapping the cutting board continued once more.

But as always, things went differently than expected. Until he finished slicing all the potatoes, Song Jua kept her spot.

Does she still have something left to do here? Finding it harder to ignore, Seojeong raised his head.

Jua’s gaze was directed at Seojeong. A hint of curiosity tinged her eyes, which had seemed indifferent all along.

“It’s pretty.”

“Pardon?”

“The ring hanging on your necklace, I mean.”

Song Jua extended her finger. Seojeong’s gaze followed the finger. The engagement ring Cha Yoon had given him came into view.

Ah, Seojeong’s mouth fell open. Only then did he realize the reason she had guarded the spot beside him. And in addition, the meaning behind Cha Yoon’s gaze from a few hours ago.

What flooded in was a sense of shame. As if she were asking, are you still not over Cha Yoon? Did you really end up wearing that and coming all the way to a place like this?

“It must be a meaningful ring, to be used as a pendant.”

“No. It has no meaning, I wear it because it’s pretty.”

“Aha, because it’s pretty…”

Seojeong put on an unbothered voice. He knew himself that it was a ridiculous thing to say. Was there anyone who would use a meaningless ring as a necklace?

But contrary to his worries, even at this excuse no one would believe, Jua didn’t ask further or press him on it.

“I see.”

“…”

“That’s possible.”

Since everyone is different. As if agreeing, Jua nodded, her face returning to its usual self.

“Then I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Yes.”

Jua quickly wrapped up the conversation. The tension that had stiffened Seojeong’s shoulders relaxed. Relieved, Seojeong had just turned his body as if seeing Jua off.

He couldn’t help but freeze at the large figure standing behind him.

“…”

There stood Cha Yoon, who had appeared without him knowing when. Jua also, having noticed Cha Yoon, raised one eyebrow. After briefly scanning Cha Yoon, Song Jua opened her mouth.

“You came to use the sink, right? I’ll move out of your way.”

Even at the words directed at him, Cha Yoon gave no answer. He just looked. At Ki Seojeong, who was behind her.
