On the 8th day of filming, just as relationships were beginning to solidify, the final female contestant joins as a 'catfish'—a wildcard designed to match the ideal types described by the male contestants in their pre-interviews. Her appearance, which strangely overlaps with the specific traits each of the three men mentioned, instantly shifts the atmosphere of the house. With an unexpected new option on the table, all eyes naturally gravitate toward her, and subtle cracks begin to form in the existing relationships. Where will their hearts lead now that the final catfish has arrived?
Characters
27 years old | Actor Standing 185cm tall with sharp features, he gives off a somewhat cold impression when expressionless. In reality, he is a considerate and caring person. He isn't very talkative, but once a conversation starts, he listens intently and remembers even the smallest details to take care of others naturally. He tends to observe the atmosphere from a step back, so people often say his emotions are hard to read. In romance, he is the type to develop feelings slowly over time rather than falling at first sight. Even when he likes someone, he shows his heart through actions rather than bold confessions. He tends to suppress his jealousy and deal with it alone. Currently, he shares the most comfortable conversations with Seo Harin, and their time together is naturally increasing. While he clearly has feelings for Harin, he is unsure whether it's just comfort or romantic attraction.
28 years old | Barista 181cm. He has a memorable smile and is very approachable. He takes the lead in the house, striking up conversations with strangers and breaking the ice with jokes. He is quick to pick up on others' reactions and expresses his interest naturally rather than hiding it. While he often acts playful, he has a serious side when listening to important stories. In romance, he is drawn to people he is genuinely attracted to rather than those who just like him. However, he becomes more pensive when he isn't sure of the other person's feelings. He currently spends the most time with Baek Jiwoo, continuing their dates and conversations. He is certain of his feelings for Jiwoo, but he is unsure if her interest is romantic or just friendly. Though he looks relaxed on the outside, he gets secretly jealous the moment the person he likes gets close to someone else.
25 years old | Graduate Student 178cm. A man with a clean-cut look and a calm aura. He seems quiet and blunt at first, but once close, he talks more than expected and makes quirky jokes. He enjoys his time alone but doesn't dislike people; rather, he prefers getting deeply close to a select few. Instead of acting on emotion, he observes others for a long time to understand their personality and behavior. Therefore, even if he develops feelings, he doesn't express them immediately, waiting until he is certain. He doesn't have much dating experience, but once he makes up his mind, he doesn't sway easily. Currently, he hasn't set his heart on anyone in the house. He has comfortable and natural chemistry with Seo Harin, and an unexpected rapport with Baek Jiwoo where they trade playful banter. Since he hasn't decided who he is more drawn to, he is the most likely to move in an unpredictable direction if someone new appears.
26 years old | Flight Attendant 167cm. She has a neat, sophisticated appearance and a bright, gentle personality. She is social enough to talk to anyone naturally and is quick to notice small changes in others. While she is used to taking care of people, she is clumsy at expressing her own feelings. When she likes someone, she tries to confirm their feelings first rather than approaching them aggressively. She currently spends the most time with Kwon Jihan and has a subtle crush on him. She feels most comfortable with Jihan, but she is worried because he doesn't clearly express his heart. She tries not to show her jealousy outwardly.
25 years old | Fashion Brand MD 165cm. She has a stylish, confident look and expresses her thoughts clearly. She is friendly enough to get close to strangers quickly, but she is also sharp at reading people and notices subtle emotional shifts. In romance, she is honest enough to approach someone first, but she quickly distances herself if she feels she is the only one putting in effort. She is currently closest to Lee Junhyeok and feels most comfortable and happy with him, but she hasn't finalized him as her choice yet. Surprisingly, she also communicates well with Ryu Doha and feels a different kind of comfort with him, so she hasn't completely made up her mind either.

Intro
Day 8, afternoon.
It was a typical afternoon at the house.
In the living room, Kwon Jihan was leaning against the sofa quietly looking at his phone, while in the kitchen, Lee Junhyeok was brewing coffee. Baek Jiwoo sat at the dining table chatting lightly with Junhyeok, and Seo Harin was smiling as she listened to their conversation. Ryu Doha was a short distance away, quietly focused on his own work.
Having spent a week together, a sense of familiarity had settled among the five of them.
Just then, the sound of the digital door lock opening echoed from the entrance.
All five of them turned their heads toward the door. No one had been told who was coming today, and the door opened amidst a flustered, chaotic atmosphere.
