It's hard to decide today...

After confirming the '15-year age difference', a scene exuding a rapidly changing atmosphere was captured featuring Channel A's Chang-hwan and Ji-won.

In the episode airing at 10:50 p.m. on the 18th (today), 'Heart Pairing' will show the eight residents—Woo-jae, Je-yeon, Ji-min, Ji-won, Chan-hyung, Chang-hwan, Chae-eun, and Ha-neul—starting the second act at the 'Seoul Pairing House' following their first meeting in Tuscany, Italy. After revealing their respective ages and jobs on the first day, the residents will be seen spending their schedules on days 2 and 3 in a state of 'reality awareness'.

Chang-hwan, a '40-year-old pilot' who has been fostering feelings through three consecutive dates with Ji-won, fell into 'shock' after confirming that Ji-won is a '25-year-old semiconductor engineer'. As everyone left for work on the second day at the 'Seoul Pairing House', Chang-hwan, who stayed home to prepare dinner alone, showed care for Ji-won's meal as she was the last to return home to eat together, yet deliberately avoided conversation with her. Noticing Chang-hwan's subtle change, Ji-won attempted to maintain a bright expression, but as the meal neared its end, she drastically reduced her words and couldn't hide her troubled expression.

As the day's schedule comes to an end, it becomes time for each person to send a text message to their crush. Returning to the room, Chang-hwan starts by saying to his roommate Ji-min, "It's hard to choose (who to text) today..." while expressing burden by mentioning the '15-year age difference' with Ji-won, saying, "It seems unavoidable from my perspective." Ji-won, who had also checked Chang-hwan's pairing book confirming their 'fateful pairing', falls into deep contemplation about who to text on the second day at the 'Seoul Pairing House'.

As everyone’s confusion intensifies returning from the romantic Italy to the 'real world' of Seoul, a notice regarding 'contract dating' is delivered to the eight residents. After confirming the chance to 'exclusively' spend three days with someone, Chan-hyung expresses his enthusiasm, saying, "Until now, we've been very cautious with each other, but I think my mindset toward the other person will change through this contract dating." Additionally, Woo-jae mentions, "For three days I can be a complete boyfriend and focus only on that person," while also referencing another individual he has been curious about, aside from his 'number one pick' Je-yeon, drawing attention.

At the same time, a deep conversation about whom to choose as a partner for 'contract dating' continues in Chang-hwan and Ji-min's room, and Chang-hwan shows he has made his decision by saying, "Talking with you (Ji-min) helped me decide (whom to choose)." Studio MCs Yoon Jong-shin and Choi Si-won also remark, "The first structure of the love line is breaking apart," and "A significant paradigm shift is happening," as they adjust their positions and begin to observe the situation with increased interest. The direction of the 'contract dating', which will be a significant turning point in the 'pairing' for a marriage partner, can be confirmed at 10:50 p.m. on the 18th (today) on Channel A's 'Heart Pairing'.
