βAh… hello, senior.β
Expecting Jaegal Minhyuk to be there, Dansol opened the door, but instead, Jung Daesoo and Han Jisoo were sitting inside.
Dansol was unaware that a change of events had occurred because Jung Daesoo had chosen Korean cuisine, unlike before his regression.
‘Darn it, I chose wrong.’
Of all people, he had to end up with Jung Daesoo, the one he wanted to avoid the most. And with Han Jisoo, who was far senior to Dansol, present as well, he wanted to dash out of the room regardless of the broadcast.
βYou’re here? Have a seat.β
It was Han Jisoo who warmly greeted him first.
As Dansol hesitated and sat beside Jisoo, Jung Daesoo frowned again.
Sitting there against the screen, he looked just like a handsome gangster.
The atmosphere made Dansol feel even more uncomfortable and rigid.
βIβm your senior, so Iβll speak comfortably, okay?β
βOh! Yes…! Please do.β
Jisoo, now fully facing Dansol, leaned on the table.
In truth, Han Jisoo had left Chunmong island first, using his drama filming schedule as an excuse.
It was almost laughable how little information Dansol had about Jisoo post-regression.
Moreover, Jisoo was sitting on Dansol’s left, where his hearing was weaker, which made him even more nervous.
βIf youβre uncomfortable, change seats.β
Jung Daesoo, who had been observing Dansol for a while, spoke up.
βWhat? Dansol, are you uncomfortable with me?β
βNo?! Iβm very comfortable!β
Dansol answered mechanically and added hastily while glancing around.
βNo… I mean! Not that comfortable…β
A brief silence followed, then Han Jisoo burst into laughter.
βOh! So cute! Hey, Jung Daesoo, it seems like our Dansol is uncomfortable because of you, not me. Dansol, donβt worry about it. I can handle him.β
βWhat?β
βHuh.β
Jung Daesoo only snorted at Jisooβs childish remark, without any further comment. Even so, he kept pushing delicious side dishes toward Dansol.
βUh… thereβs too much… why arenβt you eating?β
When only a water cup and a bowl of rice remained in front of Jisoo, Dansol, trying to stop Daesoo, asked.
βHan Jisoo is dieting and wonβt eat this stuff.β
Daesoo piled a heap of braised short ribs on Dansolβs plate.
βItβs okay, Dansol. You should eat a lot, and Iβll just lick the bones you leave behind.β
βAre you crazy?β
βSenior! Why would you lick that! Please, have some!β
At Jisooβs words, Daesoo’s forehead wrinkled.
Dansol quickly broke down the pile Daesoo had made and transferred the ribs to Jisooβs plate.
He thought everything would be in his control after regressing, but reality wasnβt that easy. To sum up his current state in one word, it felt like…
βIβm like an honor student caught between delinquent seniors…β
βHave you decided which room to use?β
βWell… that is…β
The Omega dorm had two single rooms and one double room.
Before regressing, the seniors took the single rooms without question, and Dansol shared a room with Yoo Doohyun.
As a result, after the middle of the shoot, when things went sour with Yoo Doohyun, Dansol became the cast member who left the room first and returned last.
βIβll probably use the double room…β
βThatβs great, I wanted the double room too. Then Iβll share it with you!β
βWhat? Thatβs not possible.β
βWhy not? Arenβt we both Omegas?β
At Jisooβs words, Daesoo rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache.
Dansol tried hard to grasp the situation amid the subtle tension between them.
But there was something he had overlooked.
Dansol was originally not very perceptive.
Moreover, after becoming a national outcast before his regression, his self-esteem had plummeted, making him unable to see things objectively.
βIt seems like Senior Jung Daesoo likes Senior Han Jisoo…!β
While Dansol was focused on escaping the unexpected predicament, Jisooβs barrage of questions continued.
βDo you like alcohol, Dansol? What kind?β
βWell…β
βIsnβt it rude to ask such a question on a first meeting?β
βDo you prefer Korean food for every meal? What about desserts?β
βUm…β
βAs an idol, he probably watches his diet.β
βI heard you sing really well earlier. Can you sing for us again?β
βThat…!β
βYou donβt have to sing.β
βWhatβs your MBTI?β
βI…β
βAll that stuff is pseudo-science. Itβs not trustworthy.β
βI asked Dansol.β
βI didnβt know, sorry. Since this is a survival show, I thought youβd be interested in me.β
Jisoo answered with a sly smile, deliberately provoking Daesoo.
βOkay, maybe I was too much? Letβs talk more in detail when we get to our room.β
With that, Daesoo clenched his fists tightly. Dansol rubbed his eyes, feeling as if Daesooβs chopsticks were slightly bent.
βIf youβre done eating, letβs leave.β
βYeah, Dansol, donβt hang out with a bigot like him, letβs go.β
Daesoo, who had been barely eating, stood up first and left the room with a huff. His expression was not good as he grabbed his outerwear.
In the suddenly tense atmosphere, Dansol felt he had to do something.
He had hoped for heavy editing, not to become a troublemaker ruining the mood from the first episode.
βIt seems Senior Jung Daesoo is very jealous… Darn it! I tried to avoid a fox and ended up caught in a whale fight.β
Standing by the door, Dansol lightly grabbed Daesooβs sleeve as he approached.
Thankfully, it was a blind spot for the cameras.
His touch was so cautious that Daesoo almost missed it and kept walking.
Feeling intimidated by Daesooβs questioning look, Dansol spoke in a timid voice.
βSenior! I donβt like Omegas… You donβt need to worry…β
Dansolβs words made Daesooβs ears turn red.
However, Dansol couldnβt even look at Daesooβs face and hurriedly ran outside as if escaping.
Daesoo, looking flustered, stood still for a moment.
After Dansol disappeared downstairs, he wandered aimlessly around the second-floor hallway.
He fluttered his shirt as if he was hot, covered his mouth, and ran his hand through his hair.
The words meant to clear up a misunderstanding had instead created a huge misunderstanding.

[Preview]
βSeniorβ¦ are you crying?β
βOhβ¦ I left my favorite cuddly toy behind, the one I usually sleep with.β
βA cuddly toyβ¦?β
βI have severe insomnia, so I canβt sleep without it.β
βOhβ¦ I see.β
βSo, I was wondering, could you sleep with me in my bed as a substitute for the cuddly toy?β
βWhat?!β
.
.
.
βHow about our Dansol? Do you tend to stick to certain styles?β
βOhβ¦ no, absolutely notβ¦β
βJust as I thought. Our little Sol is too small and precious to be playing with those dirty Alphas. Iβll protect you, so just trust this hyung, okay?β
βYesβ¦ but hyungβ¦ could you please let go of my arm? Itβs too tightβ¦β

[RO Match Survival in Island Portal]
Whatβs with Daesoo when he came out of his room? It feels like something was cut off in the middle; why is he wandering around like an embarrassed puppy?
β€·He must be feeling good after eating.
β€·LOL thatβs hilariously random.
β€·Didnβt he have some conversation with Dansol? Canβt see it, what are the producers doing!! Missing such moments.
β€·Look at the size difference between them, they match so well. Rooting for TreeXCricket.
β€·Arenβt they more like uncle and nephew? Dansol looks better with Yiyeon.
β€·Thereβs no scene of him with Yiyeon though, what nonsense.
β€·Yiyeon, you shouldnβt be doing this here.
Oh my, it was Omega Han Jisoo who was interested in Dansol, wasnβt it? LOL, is the preview serious? Theyβre lying down together, even cuddling? LOL, the flying Alpha is caught by Han Jisooβ¦
β€·Dansol, run away quickly!
β€·But if itβs Han Jisoo, even if heβs an Omega, I get itβ¦
β€·True, heβs skinny but about the same height as Daesoo. Yeah, rather than being swayed by Alphas, just date each otherβ¦
β€·Iβm not a phenotype purist, but if an Omega prefers an Omega, why come on Alpha-Omega dating show?
β€·The agency probably made him do it.
β€·Is Han Jisoo the type to do what the agency tells him?
β€·Thatβs true? But Jisoo x Dansol is a good pairing, so I donβt mind.
β€·We should hear Dansolβs sideβ¦ he seems too intimidated to say anything as a junior. The preview feels a bit much if itβs true. Dansol, being a rookie, probably canβt say no even if he dislikes it.
But isnβt Joo Dansolβs star quality off the charts? Despite all the high-profile contestants, Yoo Doohyun and Yoon Yeomin arenβt even noticeable. He overshadows even the famous Omegas, itβs Dansol Match Survival in Island.
β€·Totally agree with Dansol Match. Iβll keep watching because itβs fun, but Iβll be pissed if the editing continues like this.
β€·Itβs only the second episode, calm down;;
β€·Joo Dansol seems a bit sly. His expressions are too conscious of the cameraβ¦ seems like heβs aiming to rise in status by grabbing the top contestants.
β€·Whatβs there to aim for? Didnβt you see his surprised look when he opened the door?
β€·Rise in status? LOL, are Daesoo and Han Jisoo royalty or something…
β€·(Blinking Dansol.jpg)
β€·Donβt be so harsh on such an innocent kid;;;
β€·Dansol isnβt clairvoyant, how could he have known Daesoo and Han Jisoo were in a closed room? Even I wouldnβt enter a room with seniors more than ten years older doing their thing.
β€·True, especially with Daesoo and Han Jisoo, both have strong auras… They were sparking while Dansol quietly gnawed on ribs.
β€·I was worried he was too skinny, but it seems he just has that body type. He cutely ate all the side dishes Daesoo and Han Jisoo gave him.
β€·(Dansol eating nervously between strong seniors but not refusing.jpg)
