"Remember: try to drink less and take care of your liver, okay?" Daehwi said to Somi in the airport. Today Somi was going home, and she has decided to tell Dongmyeong that she feels the same way. Daehwi, being the supportive best friend he is, even helped her write up a confession (that she has memorized now) to him. Specifically, her confession was this (Somi didn't exactly memorize it, it's sort of like reciting a monologue to her):

"Dongmyeong, I know this is sudden, but I like you too. Even though I haven't liked you as long as you have liked me, I hope you'll accept my feelings and we can try this whole relationship thing out. WE DON'T NEED TO RUSH IT OR ANYTHING, um, let's just take it slow because.. that's the best way. We've been friends our whole lives, Myeong. It's a little weird to suddenly be something different, but.. let's just do it okay OHMYGOD kiss me now big boy."

Okay, maybe that last sentence was just made by Daehwi as a joke but he won't question anything if they really do kiss after Somi says that.

"Also go home earlier so your mom won't get worried," Hansol added.

"And try not to inconvenience any other people, hm?" Shannon said. Somi just blushed and nodded in response. "Yes, u-unnie," she stuttered. She and Shannon were still sort of awkward but overall Shannon has accepted her now.

Somi patted Daehwi on the shoulder and leaned in to whisper something to him. "Be happy." was what she whispered to him. Daehwi didn't quite get it at first, so he just waved perplexedly at Somi who was now going to board her flight. What could she have meant by that?

After sending her off back to Korea Daehwi was back at the apartment waiting for his mom to finish changing clothes. On the very same day, it turned out they had new neighbors moving in next to them and Hansol told him that he heard they were both Korean. So it made Daehwi happy to have more Korean people around to be friends with. Reminded him of home a lot.

"Daehwi." he turned his head to see Donghyun who had his head popped out of his bedroom door. "Have you seen my clothes?" oh, no wonder his head was the only thing popping out of his bedroom door.

"Why? What happened to them now?"

"I think.. I think I accidentally mixed them up and put them all in my laundry bin again. I-I literally have no shirts, Daehwi, I have to walk around shirtless," Donghyun said with a helpless expression. Daehwi was about to burst into laughter until Donghyun spoke again. "Don't laugh! It's not funny, it's so cold here too!"

"You can go wear one of my shirts."

"For real?" Donghyun stepped out, with only pants and a towel around his neck, while his hair was still visibly wet, and his abs were.. practically glistening..

Wait, since when did he have abs?

Daehwi quickly slapped himself. Don't look at Donghyun's abdominal area, Daehwi! It's none of your business! Jeez, he hasn't thought about anything inappropriate for a while.. still, those abs were practically something you could wash clothes on-

Noo! Stop thinking such thoughts! Daehwi panicked in his head. "Are you alright? You slapped yourself earlier," said Donghyun. And just why does he speak like slapping yourself is normal? "It's nothing!" Daehwi huffed. "Go put a shirt on! Your abs are distracting me!"

"My abs are what-" and before he could even finish speaking Daehwi pushed him inside his room. "I said put a shirt on!" he shrieked. In the end Donghyun obeyed even though he was very confused.
