"Is that everyone?" Jun asked, throwing an arm around Joshua. Wonwoo turned his eyes away towards Jeonghan, both of them making eye contact. Wonwoo, for some reason, oddly felt comforted when Jeonghan smiled at him as if he understood him.
"I thought you would be the only one with white-silver hair" Mingyu said as Jeonghan turned to look at him. Everyone followed Mingyu's eyes to someone standing by the door. He had hair similar to Jeonghan, possibly more towards the silver side.

His features didn't look Korean, but at the same time, they did. "He kind of looks like the actor in Titanic" Jeonghan said, sipping on his glass of wine that had been given to him at some point during the night. The day had dragged out into the night as new people kept coming.
Jeonghan did come first. He was ready to go to his assigned room and sleep the night away, but he knew a first impressions ceremony was happening, and he wasn't going to miss that for anything.
"I'm Hansol or Vernon. Call me whatever" Vernon said before making his way to the bean bag next to Wonwoo. "Are you by any chance from America?" Joshua wasn't going to miss asking the question just in case there was a possibility that he found someone he could talk to in English.
"I'm from New York. Are you from America too?" Joshua nodded excitedly, his hand going to hold Jun's in joy as he focused on Vernon. "I'm from LA!" Joshua being cute was a whole new experience for Jun and even Jeonghan. Though they've only known each other for a few hours, it seemed like Joshua was more of the chaebol type to Jun.
"Am I the last one to come?" There was someone else at the door. Seriously how many people were there this season? "My flight was late" the boy said as he took off his mask, he looked younger than everyone there, instantly making him a favourite.

He didn't even get to mention his name before a bunch of questions were being asked in his direction, and he was being pulled in between Mingyu and Minghao. "I'm Chan!" He said, making everyone quiet down. "I wanted to say that first" Chan gave a shy look to the others in the room, his hand going to scratch at the back of his neck awkwardly.
"You're so cute" Jeonghan went to pull Chan's cheek, but Jihoon quickly took the older's hand back. "You're probably scaring him" Chan promised that it was okay. In all honesty, he loved the attention. He wasn't sure if anyone caught his eye in particular. He liked everyone. They were all handsome and sweet to him. He was going to find it hard during the first impression ceremony, and he knew that.
"I think I've been to your cafe, Chanie" Wonwoo said in the sweetest voice, and Chan had to admit he liked this Hyung. "I think I would remember a face like yours, Hyung" Chan said, making Wonwoo blush. "He can flirt" Seungcheol spoke up. As they had gotten to know each other, he had become more vocal.
By the time everyone got familiar with Chan, low and behold, there was another person. This time he didn't need to introduce who he was. Jeonghan and Minghao exchanged knowing looks as they stood up in unison. "You're Kwon Soonyoung!" Minghao said, as a matter of fact, clasping his hands together.
"The one and only, I'm just fashionably late" Soonyoung's eyes stayed on Jeonghan. He loved the outfit he was wearing. Of course, he would. He designed it. Soonyoung fixed the beret on his head as he scanned the room. Some of them definitely caught his attention.

Even though Jeonghan and Minghao were very tempted to fangirl over Soonyoung, they were able to be composed. However, it didn't take long to figure out that Seokmin and Jun had stolen his attention. An ER doctor and an actor, Soonyoung wasn't sure who he liked more.
They were both so different yet so intriguing to Soonyoung. He was sure he would've kept drooling over the two if there wasn't another shuffling sound by the door. Everyone was on the edge of their seats to see who showed up, but it wasn't a stranger. It was the host.
"Finally, you're all here. I hope you had enough time to get to know each other and, most importantly, form your first impressions of each other" Seungkwan said, looking around the room, the same as the cameras behind him did.
"I bet you're all hungry. Jeju food is truly delicious! But before we go to dinner, we need to hear who stole each of your hearts in the first impression" Seungkwan said, pulling out something from his pocket. "It works in simple terms" Seungkwan held up the small ring in his hand.
"The 'fall' rings, you put it on the finger of the person you like. It's not that complicated! We have twelve of these rings for the twelve of you" Minghao raised his hand slightly, unsure how to ask something, but just went with it as Seungkwan prompted him to speak.
"Doesn't this seem too proposally to you?" Mingyu was once again nudging him. "What? It's too much of a commitment for me" Minghao slouched. Seokmin wanted to kiss his cheeks so bad. How is a person this adorable? "Just put it on me, stop asking stuff like that" Mingyu said it as a joke, but Minghao didn't want to put it on anyone else, really.
"You can refuse your ring or exchange it, but you can't wear two. As the days pass, you will be able to switch the rings on your finger" Seungkwan gestured to a table with 12 rings in 12 boxes, each with a small diamond on them, fake or real. No one was questioning that.
"Your names are engraved on your respective rings, you're free to put it on for now until you have to put it onto the person that stole your attention or even your heart" Seungkwan said before turning to the camera and hosting on his own.
Minghao looked at his finger before looking at Mingyu, who was staring in Wonwoo's direction. "Even if there's a ring on my finger, it won't be his" Minghao mumbled before turning around too quickly, crashing onto Seokmin's chest, who held him up fast. Minghao sighed. He should really start saying no to Mingyu more often.
