{OST: "Yanghwa Bridge" by Zion. T}
9th December 2018,
Heart Signal Day 8,
Day After The First Date,
Sunday
[Signal House Living Room, 10:30 p.m.]
The residents turned towards the staircase with completely shocked expressions on their faces.
Seokjin: Wow- who could be here so late?
Jieun smiled.
Jieun: New resident?
The six of them all got up immediately and walked down to the basement.
[Heart Signal Panel]
Eana: Omo, who's that!
Jongshin: A catfish? Finally...?
The main panelists all looked excited but the BTS members looks slightly confused.
V: What's a catfish?
Sangmin laughs.
Sangmin: The occupants to the 7th and 8th beds you were wondering about a few weeks ago!
A look of realisation spreads across their faces.
J-Hope: Ah... I guessed so at the beginning! I went back and told Taehyung and Namjoon that maybe there's actually 8 residents instead of 6!
RM: I'm so excited to see who they are!
[Signal House Basement, 10:32 p.m.]
Seokjin opened the door. A baby-faced young man stands at the door, dressed in black from head to toe - a black hoodie, black sweatpants, black Puma shoes, black cap, a black backpack, a black luggage bag - all black right down to his hair. He also wore a small silver hooped earring on his left ear. His features were well-defined - big eyes, cute aegyosal, a sturdy nose and perfectly-shaped lips. Even though he was wearing an oversized hoodie, it could still be seen from the way his clothes fit that he was definitely a very athletic man.

You could almost see the hearts in Eana's eyes. Eana: Why is he so handsome though?
Sangmin: Eana-

<Jeon Jungkook, Signal House's 7th Resident>
Jungkook: I have only been in one relationship when I was back in highschool, but it lasted for less than a year because we were both so young. I have never dated anyone since then but now I think I'm finally mature enough to get into a new relationship.
[Heart Signal Panel]
Eana: Jungkook- even his name sounds nice!
Sangmin: Eana-ssi, choose between Park Jimin-ssi or Jeon Jungkook-ssi - 1, 2, 3!
Eana did not hesitate.
Eana: Jeon Jungkook!
Everyone laughs.
[Signal House Basement, 10:33 p.m.]
It took a while before everyone regained their composure in the Signal House.
Yoojung: Annyeonghaseyo!
Jieun: Annyeonghaseyo!
Jimin: Annyeonghaseyo!
Seokjin: Annyeonghaseyo!
Yoongi: Annyeonghaseyo.
Byulyi: Annyeonghaseyo!
Jungkook: Ah- annyeonghaseyo!
The guys of course gave friendly smiles towards their newest member, while the girls were all smiling from ear to ear from the appearance of the new face. Seokjin turned around and saw the girls reaction and burst into laughter.
Seokjin: Ya! Look at them! They're all dying from happiness!
The other guys also turned around to look at them. Jimin laughed and even Yoongi smiled.
Jimin: Yoojung-ah, if you keep smiling like that, your mouth is gonna fall off.
Amidst smiling, the girls were still able to come to their own defence.
Byulyi: We have a new housemate - of course we're happy!
Yoojung: What's wrong with smiling!
Jieun: Yeah!
Jungkook stood at the door with his dark blue luggage in his hand, smiling awkwardly. Seokjin finally realised after a minute or two.
Seokjin: Oh no! Sorry, we had some internal conflict for a while there. Please come in.
Seokjin grabbed Jungkook's luggage and helped him wheel it in.
Jungkook: Ah- thank you so much.
Seokjin smiled and shut the door behind him.
Seokjin: No worries. Shall we head up to the living room?
At that moment, the bell rang for the second time. The residents gasped for the second time in the last 10 minutes. A smile spread across the guys' faces this time.
Seokjin: Another housemate?
[Heart Signal Panel]
Jongshin: No way- two catfish at once?!
Sangmin: This is the first time ever right? On the show?
Eana: I'm not even over Jungkook-ssi appearing yet, please-
[Signal House Basement, 10:33 p.m.]
Seokjin opened the door. There stood a girl who was wearing a simple white shirt dress and black boots. She had long straight black hair which were tucked neatly behind her ears that were pierced with long silver dangle earrings. She had very light make-up but that highlighted her good looks even more. She was curvy and evidently has the best figure amongst all the female members. She had the typical girl crush kind of look but contrary to her looks, she smiled warmly at the members.
[Heart Signal Panel]
Eana: Oh my gosh- can anyone ever be this pretty? She's such a girl crush yet she has aegyo too and just look at her figure!
Jongshin: She's a biiiiiig catfish indeed - if her job is something cool, I think all the guys will flock to her.
V: Nope, I don't think Jimin-ssi is going anywhere, LOL. I hope not.
[Hearteu Cafe, Pre-recorded]
<Shin Suran, Signal House's 8th Resident>
Suran: Hi! I'm Suran. I tried to join Signal House in the first and second season too - but only got selected for this season. The reason why I've been wanting to join this programme is because I think it's very meaningful. There is no other place that I will be able to mix around with people from different walks of life and establish wonderful friendships and even a new relationship. If I meet the correct person, I would love to start a relationship with him.
Suran smiled sweetly into the camera.
[Signal House Basement, 10:35 p.m.]
The old residents were evidently shaken by the sudden influx of two new residents. However, Seokjin, being the gentleman he was, responded quickly to the sudden change. He smiled at Suran.
Seokjin: Annyeonghaseyo! Today, we have two new members... shall we bring up their luggages then sit down for a nice chat?
Suran nodded.
Suran: That would be nice!
Seokjin, who was wheeling in Jungkook's luggage, noticed that Suran seemed to be struggling with the black luggage that she was lugging behind her.
Seokjin: Yoongi-ah, help this lady with her luggage!
Yoongi immediately stepped forward and grabbed the luggage from Suran's hands. As they brushed their hands slightly and made an awkward eye contact, Suran smiled slightly. She looked directly into Yoongi's eyes.
Suran: Thank you!
Yoongi smiled right back.
[Signal House Living Room, 10:45 p.m.]
The residents settled down on the sofa in the living room after Seokjin brought Jungkook's luggage to his room and Yoongi put Suran's luggage in Jieun's room. Seokjin brought all of them warm water and as usual, started with the usual formalities.
Seokjin: So shall we introduce ourselves in a circle? We can say our name, age, job and a fun fact maybe? Maybe the current residents will introduce ourselves first before we move on. Shall we start with Yoojung-ie who's sitting at the corner right there?
They all took turns to introduce themselves, starting with Yoojung and ending with Jieun.
Jungkook: It's so nice to meet all of you. Shall I introduce myself now? My name is Jeon Jungkook and I'm 22 years old this year. It'll be pretty hard to guess what I do for a living so I'll just tell you - I'm a photographer.
Jungkook unzipped his black backpack and took out a huge Canon camera. Jungkook looked at it lovingly and continued.
Jungkook: This is my baby which I hid in my bag so that you guys wouldn't be able to guess what I was! I got it about a month ago so it's still really new and of course, very precious to me.
Byulyi gasped.
Byulyi: Daebak... that's amazing.
Jungkook smiled.
Jungkook: It sure is... I work at my own studio down in Itaewon... it's called "Jeon Photography". I do bridal shoots, birthday shoots, baby shoots and so on. If you guys have the need for a photographer, just call me! I'll give you a huge discount.
[Heart Signal Panel]
Eana: Photographer? Such a handsome photographer exists?
V: I think he'll be really cool when taking photos - all the women in the house might fall for him.
[Signal House Living Room, 11:15 p.m.]
Jieun: That's amazing! Maybe you can shoot for my clothing store one day!
Jungkook grinned.
Jungkook: Sure thing. Now, as for my fun fact, it's that I love singing. I sing during all the spare time I have at home. I go to the karaoke often alone as well, just so that I can practice my singing. Yoojung: I want to hear you sing!
Jimin watched Yoojung's every move carefully. Jungkook flashed a dazzling smile in Yoojung's direction.
Jungkook: Sure! I'll definitely sing for you guys one day. Alright! I'm done with my self-intro.
Seokjin smiled and gestured politely in Suran's direction.
Seokjin: Now, shall we move on to this lady?
Jimin laughed.
Jimin: This "lady"?
Seokjin laughed as well.
Seokjin: I don't know her name!
Suran giggles.
Suran: Hi guys, my name's Shin Suran. I'm actually 33 years old this year, so I think I'm pretty old here...
The residents shook their heads politely.
Jimin: Noona, you don't even look your age! You look like, 25?
Suran laughed.
Suran: Why, thank you for looking upon me so favourably, Jimin-ssi. Well, so I'm the co-owner of the hotel "Hotel Su" located in Myeongdong, which I started with my elder brother. My fun fact is that I lived in the States for about 8 years so I can speak pretty good English.
The residents nodded and smiled at Suran.
Seokjin: It's late now, shall we call it a day?
The residents head to their rooms to get ready for bed that night.
[Heart Signal Panel]
Jongshin: Wait- owner of a hotel?!
Eana: That's a really respectable job.
Sangmin: Do you think her age might give her a disadvantage though? She's the oldest in the house right now.
Eana: Yeah... actually that might.
Sangmin: What makes you think so though?
Eana: Maybe guys usually don't like dating older women?
Sangmin: What do the BTS members think?
J-Hope: Actually, for me I don't mind dating older women - what matters more for me is how I feel about the person and not the age.
V: I rather date younger girls but if I really like her and she's older then it's alright.
RM: I'm fine dating noonas as well! Sometimes in fact noonas are more mature and stable and can relate on the same level as me.
Sangmin: See, most men don't really care about age. We have preferences but ultimately, it's the feelings that matter more.
