[Signal House 1st Floor Girls Room,

The weekend arrived and the residents were all either at home or out meeting their friends. Byulyi and Yoojung were cleaning up their room until they heard a knock on the door.
Yoojung: I'll go get it!
A while later, Yoojung ran back into the toilet, with a smile on her face.

Yoojung: Unnie! It's Seokjin-oppa! He's looking for you

Eana: Oh-? Is he really going to ask her out?

Byulyi was evidently shocked.
Byulyi: Me? Really? Why me?
Yoojung shrugged and grabbed the vacuum cleaner from Byulyi's hands.
Yoojung: Just go, unnie. I'll take care of this.
Byulyi walked out of the toilet and went to the door, only to see Seokjin standing there, smiling nervously.
Byulyi: Is there anything?
Seokjin bit his lower lip.
Seokjin: Are you free today?
Byulyi looked back into the room.
Byulyi: Well, Yoojung and I were just cleaning our room and stuff.
Seokjin thought for a while.
Seokjin: Um... could you spare me some time today?
Byulyi looked slightly uncomfortable.
Byulyi: Um... but the clean-
Yoojung: Unnie, it's fine! You go ahead, I can ask Jimin-oppa to help me later!
Yoojung shouted from the toilet. Seokjin smiled.
Seokjin: I take that as a "yes" then?
Byulyi fidgeted on the spot.
Byulyi: Well, I guess.
Seokjin: I'll see you outside in half an hour!
Seokjin walked away, a huge smile on his face. Byulyi walked back into the room and sat on her bed for a while. Yoojung came out of the toilet, with a smile on her face.
Yoojung: A date?
Byulyi: Nah, we're just hanging out.

The panelists sigh.
Jongshin: Why does this feel so awkward?
Jaewoong: You know what I think... Byulyi-ssi might be trying to shut Seokjin-ssi out so that she will end her feelings for him. But him inviting her out is not helping anything.
Eana: I think you're right.
The panelists cannot stop sighing.

[Signal House Living Room, 1:00 p.m.]

Half an hour later, Byulyi walked into the living room only to see Seokjin already seated on the sofa, waiting for her. Upon seeing her, Seokjin stood up and smiled.
