Decision Day,
Monday
[Signal House Dining Room, 6:00 p.m.]
Finally, the last conversations were over and the residents gathered in the dining room for their "last supper". On the table was an array of homecooked food, from aglio olio and cubed steak, to bibimbap and pizza. There was a lot of food, as well as a few bottles of wine. The residents exclaimed when they entered the kitchen, before taking their seats at the table. They started to eat, enjoying the food as well as each company, gathered together in the Signal House for the last time.
Seokjin: I'm so sad... eotteokke.
Byulyi: We can still meet up often!
Jimin: But our schedules won't match!
Jieun: Should we just buy a huge house together and live like that for the rest of our lives?
The residents laughed.
Yoojung: Sounds like a plan...
Suran: It's tempting, but probably will cost a bomb.
Yoongi: Let's just all work really hard and make if happen.
Jungkook: Let's make a toast to that!
The residents clink their glasses full of wine and drink up.

RM: Ah-! They're making me sad as well!
[Signal House Dining Room, 6:15 p.m.]
Seokjin: I have a suggestion... do you guys wanna hear it?
Byulyi: Not really.
Seokjin ignored Byulyi and carried on.
Seokjin: How about, we nominate each person for one award! Sounds good?
Jimin: That actually sounds not bad.
Seokjin: Shall we start with Jimin-ie? Since he was the first to enter the house?
Byulyi: I nominate him for the "Cutest Laugh Award".
Jieun: I agree! I agree!
Seokjin: Not bad. Now, Jimin-ie will nominate someone. Preferably with someone you're not too close to.
Jimin smiled and looked around at the members before deciding.
Jimin: I nominate Jieun-noona for the "Best Fashion Sense Award".
Suran: I agree with that!
Jieun laughed.
Jieun: Thank you. Then... I'll nominate Yoongi for the "Most Surprising Character Award".
Jungkook: What does that mean?
Jieun pursed her lips, trying to prevent herself from laughing.
Jieun: I walked past Jimin and Yoongi's room the other day and heard Yoongi lip-syncing to "Eyes, Nose, Lips" by Taeyang and it was terribly funny.
Jimin burst into laughter.
Jimin: I was filming it. You guys may not know know, but Yoongi-hyung can be pretty crazy when he wants to be.
Jimin whipped out his phone and showed the residents the video of Yoongi, despite Yoongi trying to rip the phone from his hands.
(from 0:50-1:17)
The residents howl in laughter.

The panelists laugh as well.
Eana: Is there anymore of Yoongi's crazy moments? We wanna see it!
V: I wanna see!
The panelists laugh hysterically.
J-Hope: So this is how he behaves like in his room? I can't believe Jimin-ssi got to see all this.
[Signal House Dining Room, 6:30 p.m.]
Suran: Heol... daebak.
Suran turned to face Yoongi.
Suran: You were this kind of person all this while?
Yoongi shrugged.
Yoongi: You'll see it soon.
The residents laughed.
Seokjin: Nominate someone now, Yoongi-ah.
Yoongi: Yoojung? I nominate her for the... "Energiser Award".
Yoojung gasped.
Yoojung: Me?
Yoongi: Isn't everyone so energised when she's around? Her age itself is energising.
The residents laughed, but Suran hit him on the arm.
Suran: Ya! Are you calling me old?
Yoongi cowered.
Yoongi: Nah, just saying she's young. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with being old... er.
Suran glared at Yoongi and Yoongi smiled sheepishly.
Yoojung: I'll nominate Seokjin-oppa for the "Best Chef Award"!
Seokjin laughed.
Seokjin: That is... well, of course.
Yoojung: I'm going to visit your restaurant soon, oppa!
Seokjin: Don't forget to bring someone!
Seokjin winked at Jimin and Jimin looked away shyly.
Seokjin: I'll nominate Suran-noona for the "Girl Crush Award".
Suran laughed.
Suran: Are you being serious right now?
Seokjin: Ya, really. Just standing there doing nothing, you already have this aura.
Suran: Nah... don't kid.
Seokjin: Really! Ask the rest.
The rest of them agreed one by one. Seokjin smirked.
Seokjin: See?
Suran laughed.
Suran: Well, I guess so then. Now, I nominate Jungkook for the "Best Voice Award".
Jieun: That one is pretty obvious - Jungkook really has such an amazing voice. But you do too, unnie!
Jungkook smiled.
Jungkook: Thank you. Lastly, I'll nominate... Byulyi-noona for the "Friendliest Resident Award".
Byulyi looked confused.
Byulyi: Me?! Since when!
Jungkook: If you think about it, you get along with Seokjin-hyung, Yoongi-hyung and Jimin-hyung. For girls, you get along with Yoojung the most but I always see you in Jieun-noona and Suran-noona's room.
Seokjin: Come to think of it, you're right!
Byulyi laughed, scratching her head.
Byulyi: Well, if you put it that way, I guess.
[Heart Signal Panel]
Eana: Isn't it the same for Jimin-ssi?
V: Yeah, both of them get along with everyone! It's so enviable.
[Signal House Dining Room, 6:45 p.m.]
The residents happily enjoy their dinner, continue to talk about their whole stay at the Signal House, reminiscing memories together, when suddenly, they all received text messages at the same time. Seokjin seemed to have been waiting for it.
Seokjin: Looks like it's finally here.
Byulyi: What is it?
They all take out their phones and Jungkook reads the message he received out loud.
Jungkook: "It is finally time to make your last choice. Please think hard and inform us about your decision by 7:00 p.m.. We will let you know where to wait for the girls and where to go for the guys."
The residents let our a collective shout. It was evident that everyone was nervous yet excited at the same time.

Jongshin: Finally, it is time.
