pod two

@❥ kang haewon "I guess that is true, unless you are a very confident person. I've met plenty of those kinds of people in my time." she chuckles to herself. she reaches for the blanket on the couch and wraps it around her shoulders, smiling softly at the other's words. "I'm already feeling a bit more comfortable, so you are already doing a great job."

"I think sometimes I ruin my own dates because I can so easily tell when someone isn't enjoying it." she lets out a soft sigh, running a hand up and down her arm. at the suggestion, she quickly nods, though feeling embarrassed since the other can't see the action. she grabs her notebook again to start jotting down the information, her eyebrows creased as he speaks on himself being a red flag. "I don't think any of that is a red flag at all. it's nice to hear you changed your career to something you'd like to do." she speaks softly, setting her notebook down once she finishes writing. "well, I am 24, and I am currently a psychologist. that's why, to my own fault, I tend to be able to read others a bit too well."

@❥ joo wonik She was use to interacting with people, so to be in a room like this all by herself while talking to someone in another room in front of her without seeing them was very amusing and exciting. Linger nervousness still being felt in her stomach but she was sure once they both got a conversation going she'd be back to her social self. The young woman opens up the notebook she received, uncapping her pen and jotting down the name into the blank page. "Long day indeed, do you think they'll allow us to put in an order for food or some snacks maybe?" she joked slightly, wanting to provide a comfortable air for the two.

@❧ yoon seonbi Wonik almost fell asleep. The light inside the pod was to his liking, as in, the vibe was calling him to take a good nap and immerse himself on such a confrontable sofa. Reminding himself why he was here again immediately woke his tired self up. When he heard the sound of someone entering the pod right next to him, his lips automatically curved a smile and waited for the other to introduce themselves. "It is nice to meet you, too. I am Wonik; make yourself comfortable, too. We got a long day ahead."

@❥ joo wonik A slender figure can be seen approaching the door of the pod, one hand taking a hold of the door knob while she had hugged a hard cover notebook to her chest and just before she enters she takes a few deep breaths; it was to ease her nerves. Once she enters her eyes are looking in awe at how the pod was decorated, admiring the pretty colored lights here and there before making her way to take a seat at the sofa. The young woman brings one of the decorative pillows and sets it on her lap, the notebook she had held now being laid on top of the pillow. Having settled down on the sofa seemed to help her calm down, a determined smile curls on her lips, umber orbs staring at the murky colored glass as curiosity not piques her; just who exactly was behind it and were they truly the one? Or perhaps someone who would grow to be a very best friend. "Hey, hey! Hope your travels here went well, it's nice to meet you by the way. I'm Seonbi. You can go ahead and speak as comfortably casual."

@❧ park minyeong "i think in this situation it would be difficult for anyone to not be at least a little nervous." haewon pulls at the front of his shirt, adjusting himself, mindful of the fact that there's always eyes on him - on both him and her - even if it's not the eyes of his date. "but maybe we can help each other get a little more comfortable."

"it isn't mine either. i can sell a piece of furniture, but trying to sell myself on a date?" he scoffs at the thought, the little sound of the cluck of his tongue filling up a brief space with a hint of self-deprecation. "then maybe we can trade details. we already know neither of is a dating ace. let's see..." he rests a hand on his thigh, his attention on the wall as if he were looking at her rather than just that - a wall. "i'll start with a potential red flag about me. i'm in my late thirties, never married, and had a change of career in the past few years from investments to working for myself - i'm a woodworker." he gestures in open air as if to her. "what about you, what do you do for work?"

@❥ kang haewon minyeong adjusts her summer dress as she listens to the male speak from the other side of the screen. "you don't know how glad I am to hear I am not the only nervous one." she laughs along with him, nervously messing with her hair as she crosses her legs.

"I'm honestly in the same position, dating is not my strong suit." her eyes quickly flicker up to the screen before she writes down the other's name in her notebook. as she notes down what the other says, she smiles with a little chuckle. "there's nothing wrong with old fashion, I can't wait to hear about it." she sets her notebook down, she sits up on the couch, placing her hands on her crossed legs. "I will gladly let you get to know more. you can ask me anything you like, haewon."

@❥ choi sohee sunhee was sitting on the couch, her hands fidgeting and playing with her fingers as she was a bit nervous herself. she heard the other person voice as she smiled and spoke a bit with nervous tone but trying to maintain an upbeat tone. "hello!! I'm sunhee, of course, of course, please!" she said with a laugh.

@❧ park minyeong on his side of the pod, haewon fills a moment of silence by examining his surroundings. he’s stood when he hears a woman’s voice from the other side of the unknowable, brightly lit and colored screen. “if it’s any consolation, you can say you caught your nerves from me.” he chuckles, the sound a bit airy in his upper palate, like he’s holding back. he takes a seat at last, the sound of it evident from the weight he places on the arm of the sofa.

“my name’s haewon. it’s a pleasure to meet you, minyeong - well, to hear you. i admit i’m out of my element when it comes even to regular dating.” he pauses for thought. “i should warn you up front, i’m a little older and probably a little old fashioned in comparison to the other contestants. i would like to get to know more about you, if that doesn’t bother you?”

@❧ lee sunhee “hello?” he calls out with a voice gentle as autumn breeze, the calm tone highly contrasting the tumultuous nerves wrecking through his insides. with both fist curled against his lap, he gathers the courage to introduce himself. “i’m sohee, is it alright if we start off speaking casually?”

@❥ kang haewon minyeong enters the pod, settling onto the couch after closing the door. she lets out a nervous breath as she stares at the colorful screen that is between her and her date on the other side. "okay, hi, I'm really nervous and I don't know why." she laughs softly before speaking again. "anyway, I'm minyeong, what is your name?"
