Let You Fly [Namjoon x Jimin]
Summery: Namjoon and Jimin have been together for only 7 months and it’s been near perfect. The two fit together wonderfully. All changes when Namjoon’s dream job offer slides itself into his inbox. He’d been eyeing the position in Japan for years… It wouldn’t be fair to Jimin to pack up his bags and join Namjoon, but it wouldn’t be fair to Namjoon to try to force him to stay. Instead, Jimin must let him fly.

Song inspiration: Let You Fly by Sunshine State
The sweet fragrance of the flower shop filled Jimin's nostrils as he worked away on a bouquet order. Jimin hummed along to the soft music that played in the background, his mind zeroed in on putting the flowers together in just the right way. Behind him, Namjoon sat at a small table, typing away on his computer. He was supposed to be on a small break, but like the work loving man he was, he was actually clearing out his inbox. Every once in a while, he'd sigh deeply and run his hands through his hair tiredly when he found an email that he actually had to respond to with thought.
Jimin looked over at him, his heart melting as he watched Namjoon type away, hunched over the computer tiredly. This wasn't a traditional date but it was the perfect sort of date for them. Jimin had a few last minute orders to make and deliver and Namjoon always had work he could do so it worked out perfectly. Namjoon came right from work (well he had stopped by a cafe and gotten a few snacks and some coffee for them), set up the fold up table, put on some music, and got right away to work… after a kiss or ten.
Just an hour more of work and then they'd be on the road. Jimin took a deep breath and continued working on his bouquet. Evenings like these were highlights of his week. Small moments like these meant the world to him. He quickly put the finishing touches on this bouquet and started to move around a tad. Quietly, he cleaned up his station before grabbing a glass of water.
"Don't forget to drink some water, sunshine." Jimin said as he set down the water next to Namjoon's computer and softly rubbing his back.
"Thank you," Namjoon sighed and leaned back in his chair, looking at Jimin with a tired smile on his face, his dimples barely peeking out as he smiled, "How are the bouquets going?"
"I am nearing the end! I think we'll be able to deliver them in an hour or so."
"What a perfect stopping point for me!"
"Oh? Nearing the end of your emails?"
Namjoon snorted, "No but I'll give up then."
"After a valiant effort, I'm sure." Jimin said with a laugh, winking quickly as he joked.
"Absolutely. Is my music ok? I would've done our collaborative playlist but I really needed calmer music today."
"It's wonderful. I've been really enjoying it!"
"I'm glad."
Jimin nodded, leaning down and pecking Namjoon before going back to his work table, a warm buzz filling him as he continued to work. Being with Namjoon constantly left Jimin feeling a soft buzz throughout his body, it seeped into him like how warm drinks heat you up from the hands and stomach. Sometimes it was like a mulled wine that made him feel hot and heady, other times it was like coffee that made him energized and ready for the day ahead, and on nights like tonight, it was like a calming jasmine tea that relaxed and calmed him. In the time that they'd been together, Namjoon had never ceased to amaze Jimin.
After finishing his final bouquet and cleaning his work space, Jimin leaned on the table and looked over at Namjoon. Flowers surrounded Namjoon like a halo of sunlight, hugging tightly to him. He seemed at home with the many floral arrangements as they egged on his challenging work. It made Jimin's heart flutter. They may have only started dating a few months ago, but Namjoon seemed to fit into Jimin's life so perfectly. He should make a bouquet for Seokjin who set them up and maybe a thank you letter to the head of his department who hasn't fielded Namjoon any job offers from out of SNU's Seoul campus.
had to kiss a lot of frogs before you came along
... Would it be too soon to say he loved Namjoon?
Excitement buzzed through Jimin from where he sat nestled into Namjoon's side, looking out from his spot in the booth to watch his friends talk. Jimin was sipping on a beer laughing as Jungkook started a long story. His eyes were wide and he threw his arms around wildly as he spoke about how serious Hoseok was with shopping.
"It was honestly scary!" Jungkook concluded.
Hoseok laughed and shook his head, "Clothes are a serious topic."
"I would disagree."
"Well Jungkook-ah, you only dress in black so I don't know if you have much ground in this conversation." Jimin said with a laugh.
"Woah! Where did that voice come from?" Jungkook asked, raising his head to intentionally look over Jimin with a mischievous grin.
Namjoon laughed, earning a small slap and eye roll from Jimin, "You're supposed to be on my side, hyung!"
"I'm always on your side, my little Kuroshimae."
Jimin giggled, hiding his face in Namjoon's side as their friends groaned.
"I don't even know what that is, Namjoon-ah." Seokjin said with a sigh.
"Sea sheep!"
"I regret introducing you two."
Yoongi gently pushed against Seokjin, "That's a lie and we both know it."
Namjoon's phone lit up an urgent message notification showing, "Is it ok if I quickly check this message?"
"Sure! I'll get rounds for everyone while you do!" Hoseok said, jumping out of the booth.
"Let me join you!" Taehyung said, quickly scurrying behind Hoseok toward the bar.
Whining as Namjoon grabbed his phone from the table, Jimin looked around the restaurant to give Namjoon space to read the email.
A sharp intake from Namjoon made Jimin look back, "I got a job offer to work for the Oceanography Society of Japan."
It felt like a cold bucket of water washed over Jimin as he looked at Namjoon process the information. Did Namjoon even realize that he said that out loud?
Jimin was frozen as he watched Namjoon finish reading the email. The rest of the restaurant faded away and all he could see was Namjoon and all he could think about was Namjoon got the job he'd been wanting.
Namjoon would leave Jimin, fly to another country, and live there. He'd talked about the possible position when they'd started dating, Jimin knew it was an option, but after two months, they'd both figured that it wasn't going to happen.
Six months later and they decide to accept him?
"Are you ok, Jimin-ah?" Namjoon asked, his eyes wide as he gently touched Jimin's shoulder.
Their friends were looking at them. They couldn't talk about this now, maybe tonight or tomorrow they will but not now.
Taking a deep breath in, Jimin smiled, "I am. Congrats on the job offer, sunflower. I'm so proud of you."
Those words stung Jimin like thorns on roses and once again he was faced with the fact that Namjoon would be leaving him.
pack your bags leave it all for a country far away the job that you'd been dreaming of was calling
Namjoon had tears in his eyes when he spoke, "Thank you. Let's talk about it later?"
Somehow the night progressed painfully slow. Neither Jimin or Namjoon spoke much and soon enough the two were saying good night in the parking lot. Their kisses were slow and sad, tears mixing together.
"Let's talk about my job offer later this week? It's pretty late."
"That sounds like a plan." Jimin said quietly, hugging Namjoon tightly. He took a deep breath and gathered up his courage, "And Namjoon hyung?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"I love you too, Jimin."
It wasn't the end, but it felt like they were nearing a goodbye.
He was trying to ignore the upcoming conversation with Namjoon by taking extra care of his plants. It was time for most of them to be watered anyways so extra care and a little propitiating was a good thing to throw himself into.
If tears weren't so salty then maybe he would've used his tears to water them instead of tap water.
Taking care to measure out the amount of fertilizer to add to the water, he tried not to focus on Namjoon.
Namjoon.
had to kiss a lot of frogs 'till you finally came along but now we don't have a lot of time to work with
He was such a wonderful boyfriend. In many ways, it felt like Namjoon had slotted into Jimin's perfectly. Jimin treasured their relationship so much and now?
Would they be able to make it?
Fuck… he'd poured too much fertilizer into the water.
As Jimin added more water to the pot, he felt his throat close up as more tears threatened to spill at the same speed as the tap water rushed out of the faucet.
Plants.
Jimin was trying to focus on plants. Taking a shaky breath, he lifted the pot and started to slowly walk around and check the plants. It was becoming easier until he came to Rex, his Begonia Rex, who was sitting proudly in a beautiful ceramic pot that looked like a stack of books. Rex was thriving, new growth sprouting all over and leaves a beautiful deep red.
Namjoon had gifted Jimin Rex.
Namjoon often helped Jimin take care of his plants.
How many plant dates would the two have?
The last one they had was a month ago when Jimin finally decided to repot some of his plants. It was full of laughs and gentle touches.
It was when Namjoon gave him Rex.
Was that going to be their last plant date?
Why did Jimin have to get so attached to Namjoon?
They both knew this was a possibility… but… damn it. Jimin caught feelings. He was in deep.
it hadn't been very long at least according to my closest friends. "Watch your heart. Take it slow. Have some fun." Is all they say but I'm still spending all the time I can with you
Jimin sighed, looking at Rex.
Would this be all he'll have of Namjoon soon?
Could he handle a long distance relationship? Could Namjoon?
A choked sob left Jimin and was absorbed in his plant filled living room. It was all so so much.
This was so so much.
The picnic blanket was full of some of Jimin’s favorite food: kimbap, mandoo, and gaeran mari. All made with care by Namjoon who, through their couples classes, had been getting so much better with cooking. Jimin didn’t know if he could stomach any of them. Just looking at the beautiful display, made Jimin’s heart hurt with how much care Namjoon had clearly put into the piece. It seemed Namjoon was feeling similar. He'd eaten one Kimbap piece slowly but hadn't touched anything since, the display still looking pretty and organized despite them having laid out the food almost twenty minutes ago.
They were looking out at the other people in the park. It was a bright and sunny day, and it seemed that many people had flocked to the park for some sun and warmth. Someone was playing frisbee with their dog, the two excitedly running around. At one point, the two were rolling around in the grass, the person’s laugh loud and happy. A gaggle of children were playing tag, giggling and shouting plans to each other. People were biking around.
Just last month they’d planned to do a bike trip together…
Today would have been a perfect day for that.
Everything seemed to be happy around Jimin and Namjoon and it made Jimin feel worse, like they were a stain of sorrow on a bright and happy place. They were like a metaphorical blackcloud in the park.
wish the sun could make you stay
Namjoon sighed, "I think I'm going to take the job offer, Jimin-ah."
Jimin's mouth felt dry at Namjoon's statement. It was exactly what Jimin was expecting but it still felt like an icy cold hand was gripping his heart, wringing it of all its warmth. His eyes stung with budding tears as he looked around, willing himself not to cry as he watched the dog run after the frisbee, running excitedly.
"I want you to. At least, if I was the only reason for you to stay here… I wouldn’t want that. If you had… if you had other reasons to stay then that's a different story." Words caught in Jimin's throat like thick mucus and his slow mind wasn't helping with trying to speak. He reached out and grabbed Namjoon's hand, rubbing it gently and trying to memorize it (who knew how many times he’d see Namjoon’s hands again).
He didn't have the energy or heart to look at Namjoon's face, though.
"I want… Do you want to try long distance? I… I care for you so much, I don't want this to be the end of our relationship. Of us." Namjoon’s voice cracked as he spoke.
"I want to." Jimin felt tears pooling in his eyes as he started to speak, "I'm worried about us though. I don't want this to be a goodbye."
Namjoon gently squeezed Jimin's hand, "I don't either… It does feel like a goodbye though," He sighed, "I also don’t want us to have a bitter goodbye down the line… I want to make us work."
it's so hard to say goodbye and when I do, I want to cry
Jimin looked up, his eyes momentarily focusing on the bright sun and lazily moving clouds behind Namjoon before they focused on him. Namjoon's eyes were red, his cheeks glistening with tears. Shakily, Jimin let go of Namjoon's hand and cupped his face, wiping away some of the tears with his hand.
Jimin cooed and pecked each Namjoon's salty cheeks, "We'll make this work, hyung. I promise." He captured Namjoon's lips in a gentle kiss.
It warmed Jimin gently, his body alight in a calm hug of heat. Namjoon pulled Jimin closer, humming quietly into the kiss.
"I love you, my Kuroshimae." Namjoon said when they pulled apart, their faces still a short distance apart. Jimin giggled and scrunched up his nose as Namjoon's breath, laced with egg and spam, fanned across his face.
"I love you too, but your breath is stinky."
Namjoon leaned back at that, laughing loudly, "I'm sorry. Now, how do we want to make this work? I'd feel better if we had a bit of a plan before I left."
Jimin hummed, nuzzling into Namjoon as he started to speak, "When will you be leaving."
"They want me there to start asap, so in two or so weeks." Namjoon said, his voice cracking as he spoke.
Jimin nodded and sighed, looking out at the park and all the happy park goers as more tears budded in his eyes. This would be a long and hard conversation.
His favorite show, W, was playing in the background as Jimin meticulously punched holes in the envelopes, a nice stack of twenty already growing on his desk. All around him was mess from a three day frenzied project to make a gift for Namjoon's apartment in Japan. Well it wasn't really a gift for his apartment as much as it was a gift for Namjoon.
A large floral binder that'll hold 210 envelopes with letters and affirmations. He'd seen gifts like these for parents and friends and had taken to doing it for Namjoon as. Hopefully it'll help comfort Namjoon when he is missing Jimin.
Jimin was rushing to finish putting the gift together. He'd spent so much time on the actual letters that organizing them and putting them nearly into all the envelopes had fallen to the wayside, and now he only had two days to slip it into one of Namjoon's suitcases before the flight. Hopefully he'll be able to put it in an already packed one so that Namjoon won't notice that there was a giant lump in his suitcase that he hadn't packed.
Namjoon was leaving painfully soon and it hurt. They'd been spending much time together as if that'd make up for the months they'll be apart for. In Jimin's heart, he knew that no matter how much time they spent together, the distance wouldn't be easy. A shiver ran down his spine at the thought. Namjoon was a source of warmth and comfort in every way. His hugs were like a second home, his dimpled smile a candy that he constantly craved, his voice a soothing song that calmed all of Jimin's nerves.
Would Jimin break because of the distance?
Would they survive?
Jimin felt cold at the idea of them not lasting the distance. He wanted them to last.
He sighed, looking at the envelopes he still had to hole punch and put letters in. The stack was big… if only Namjoon didn't take the job.
If only Jimin begged for him to stay… maybe they wouldn't be in this situation. Maybe they'd be cuddling up together, thinking about renting an apartment together once their current leases were up.
But Jimin couldn't do that. He wouldn't. This was a dream job for Namjoon and trying to keep him here would only breed resentment between them.
it's so hard to say goodbye and when I do I want to cry but I've got to let you fly
The car was quiet, neither Namjoon or Jimin having energy to make conversation or the will to put on music. It was a stark contrast to the goodbye party their friends hosted just before this and despite the silence being somewhat painful, Jimin was thankful. The excitement and noise from the party was a lot and he needed a reprieve before saying bye to Namjoon.
If Namjoon had found the binder of letters Jimin made, he didn't make any comment. Similarly, Jimin found a large wrapped gift hidden under his bed that Namjoon had most definitely snuck in and he chose not to comment.
He'd open it when he got home from their airport. It would be a kind comfort, a ghost of a hug that Jimin already knew he'd want.
"Oh-- My Kuroshimae, I think you missed the turn," Namjoon looked at the map on his phone, "Yep."
"I-- We're having an adventure. One more adventure for the time being."
Namjoon laughed and nodded, "Alright then, the directions are saying that the next turn will be two blocks away then."
"If you didn't have to be three hours early, I'd suggest we take a few more wrong terms." Jimin said with a giggle.
Namjoon shook his head with a smile, "I'd totally egg you on. Next time though!"
Butterflies erupted in Jimin's stomach at the thought. They've had many a long drive because one of them took the wrong term and they chose to go with it, turning up their road trip playlist and singing excitedly as they drove along.
Oh, how much fit into the six months they've been together.
we walk and we laugh like we'll always be together as we take one step closer to the edge but we still pretend
Despite the wrong turn, the two made it to the airport in good time, quickly parking and unloading Namjoon's things into a cart. The airport towered over them powerfully as they walked towards the entrance. The two anxiously got in line for plane tickets and baggage drop off, their hands tightly clasped together despite the sweat and condensation that was amounting.
All too soon, Namjoon got his bags checked and his tickets. Jimin's gut twisted as a wave of nausea washed over him.
"I hope you have a safe flight."
"I will. I'll threaten the pilot just to be sure. I'll tell them that my Kuroshimae wants me to have a safe flight." Namjoon said with a small laugh.
"I'm sure that'll work." Jimin sighed and kissed Namjoon softly, hoping to keep the memory of Namjoon's kiss in his mind for as long as possible, "You'll rock this job. I just know it."
"Thank you. I love you, Jimin-ah."
"I love you too, Namjoon hyung."
Jimin watched as Namjoon disappeared in the airport, tears quietly flowing and his heart aching. It was cold when he made it back to his car and left the airport. Even his apartment felt cold, no matter how many sweaters or blankets he was wrapped in.
Jimin's apartment was empty when he entered, tired after a long day of deliveries. In his hands was a fat stack of mail that he was excitedly flipping through, mindlessly taking his shoes off and putting on slippers as he walked further into his apartment.
Spam. Bills. Coupons.
It was all mundane letters and most of which he could do without.
He sighed when he didn't find a letter from Namjoon, the bit of excitement he had stored away vanished with the lack of a letter. It must've been delayed in the shipping for one reason or another.
Hopefully it'll come tomorrow.
Dejectedly, he put the letters down on his kitchen table and went to his bedroom, falling face up on his bed and spreading out like a starfish. He reached over for the only stuffed animal he had in his bedroom and hugged it tightly.
It was a jumbo Costasiella kuroshimae holding a sunflower.
"I miss you." Jimin said into the stuffed animal.
it's so hard to say goodbye and when I do I want to cry but I've got to let you fly

AMELIA_FLIRTY: It couldn’t have gone any better. I think this is the real thing…
AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: {0}, I know I asked you this yesterday.
AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: But now we’ve taken it further, do you think we’re going too fast?
Woah, you need to chill
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Woah, Amelia. It’s way too soon for that!
PLAYER_IDLE: Maybe chill out a little. You don’t even know him that well yet.
AMELIA_SERIOUS: Yeah, I guess it’s early days…
AMELIA_HAPPY: But we got to know each other last night pretty well.
The girls laugh and cheer her on.
GRACE_HAPPY: Love to hear it.
No, go for it!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Anyone can see the spark you two have.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Go for it. It’s what you came here for.
AMELIA_HAPPY: Thanks, {0}. I know it’s early days but I just get good vibes.
{0}_FLIRTY: Gotta trust those sexy vibes.
Only you know what's right for you
PLAYER_IDLE: Only you know if it’s real, Amelia.
PLAYER_HAPPY: If you’re vibing then great but it’s ok to slow things down too.
GRACE_HAPPY: Exactly. It’s your life. Vibe it up.
AMELIA_HAPPY: Thanks, girls. He’s just so dreamy.
GRACE_FLIRTY: My night wasn’t as naughty but I did get a little action.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Spill!
GRACE_FLIRTY: Ozzy got a little peek of me in my best lingerie.
AMELIA_HAPPY: I got hot under the collar just seeing that set in the draw.
GRACE_FLIRTY: We kissed a little but that’s all he got.
GRACE_IDLE: He’s still got a long way to get into my good books.
GRACE_HAPPY: Marshall got a few little pecks.
{0}_HAPPY: Nothing like a smooch before bed.
GRACE_HAPPY: Not sure if it’s just friendship but he sure can kiss.
AMELIA_HAPPY: I’m glad you had a good night, though. Totally deserve it.
AMELIA_HAPPY: How was your night, {0}?
{0}_HAPPY: The only action I got was a full eight hours.
{0}_FLIRTY: My fave position was starfish.
GRACE_HAPPY: Gotta love a starfish!
Amelia turns to you and {0}.
AMELIA_HAPPY: So what did you two lovebirds get up to?
{0}_HAPPY: We just had a romantic night under the stars.
AMELIA_FLIRTY: Did anything happen under the stars?
Give them the goss
PLAYER_HAPPY: It was really sweet. She set up a pillow fort on the terrace.
GRACE_HAPPY: Awww, {0}. I knew you were a cutie.
{0}_HAPPY: {1} brings it out of me.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Things got a little hot and steamy.
You smile dreamily over at {0} who smiles back.
{0}_HAPPY: Perfect last night in the villa.
Keep it to yourselves
PLAYER_IDLE: That’s between us.
{0}_HAPPY: Just us.
She smiles dreamily at you.
GRACE_HAPPY: You guys are just too sweet.
{0}_HAPPY: We just went to bed.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Needed to get our beauty sleep ahead of the final.
AMELIA_HAPPY: Sounds like we all had the nights we wanted.
GRACE_HAPPY: And we’ve got a big day ahead of us!
The boys come back in with morning drinks.
OZZY_HAPPY: Here we are, ladies.
Toby hands you and {0} your drinks.
AMELIA_FLIRTY: Such a gentleman.
TOBY_FLIRTY: Anything for you.
{0} hands you your morning drink with a cheeky wink.
AMELIA_FLIRTY: Such gentlemen.
TOBY_HAPPY: But it’s nearly date time and we need to freshen up.
AMELIA_HAPPY: OMG, I can’t wait. I hope it’s really romantic.
TOBY_FLIRTY: Anything with you will be.
GRACE_HAPPY: Alright, you two. Others are present.
GRACE_HAPPY: I kind of want a chill date.
{0}_HAPPY: I want an adventurous date.
OZZY_HAPPY: I just hope there’s music!
{0}_FLIRTY: As long as {1}’s there, I’ll be happy.
You hear a phone ping!
AMELIA_HAPPY: That’s me!
LITEXT: Islanders, the final dates are here. Time to primp and polish those looks ready for the perfect romantic end to the summer {0}BeachPlease {1}YachtToBeKiddingMe
GRACE_HAPPY: Yaaas! Let’s go!
You and the girls jump off the bed and rush to the dressing room.
The girls crowd into the dressing room searching for their best looks.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Here we go girls!
GRACE_HAPPY: I need to look hot as for this date.
AMELIA_HAPPY: For sure! How are we feeling about the last day?
GRACE_SAD: I’ll be so sad to leave my girls.
AMELIA_SAD: We’ll defo keep in touch!
{0}_HAPPY: For sure! But I can’t wait to see my family.
AMELIA_HAPPY: Oh same! Miss my mum so much. How do you feel, {0}?
Can’t wait to get home
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’m aching to get home!
PLAYER_HAPPY: It’s been a long summer and I can’t wait to see what life will be like now.
AMELIA_HAPPY: So true! Life post villa is gonna be great.
I wanna stay in the villa forever
PLAYER_SAD: I don’t want the summer to be over!
PLAYER_IDLE: Wish we could stay forever.
GRACE_HAPPY: You and me both. Endless summer? Yes, please.
{0}_HAPPY: Shall we just stay?
AMELIA_HAPPY: I’m so down for that!
AMELIA_HAPPY: These dates are going to be such a great end to the summer.
AMELIA_FLIRTY: Gonna smooch Toby as much as I can.
GRACE_HAPPY: How is that different to any other time with you two?
AMELIA_HAPPY: Guilty. I can’t help it.
GRACE_HAPPY: What kind of date are you dreaming of, {0}?
I want to be wined and dined
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I want a romantic date. Wine and dine me.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Something cute and loved up.
{0}_FLIRTY: I can defo do that.
GRACE_HAPPY: Love that.
I’m feeling an adventure date
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I’d love an adventurous date.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Get some adrenaline going.
{0}_HAPPY: I can defo do that.
GRACE_HAPPY: Stuff some endorphins in there too.
GRACE_HAPPY: Big day ahead, girls. Are we ready for the final?
AMELIA_SURPRISED: Ugh, the nerves!
{0}_HAPPY: I wonder who’s going to win.
{0}_HAPPY: I think {1} and {2} have a pretty good chance. They’re so cute.
AMELIA_HAPPY: Yeah. I reckon you two will clinch the crown.
{0}_FLIRTY: I think me and {1} have a pretty good chance. We’re cuties!
AMELIA_HAPPY: Yeah. I reckon you two will clinch the crown.
GRACE_HAPPY: Surely, it’s gonna be Amelia and Toby! They’re inseparable!
AMELIA_HAPPY: No! We’re way too new as a couple.
GRACE_HAPPY: With the drama I’ve had, I don’t think I’ll get to choose between Love or Money.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You never know, Grace.
{0}_HAPPY: Could be a twist for the books.
GRACE_FLIRTY: Imagine someone takes the money?
AMELIA_FLIRTY: The drama!
{0}_FLIRTY: Girls, if I get that crown I’m taking the money.
GRACE_SURPRISED: Ruthless! But I kinda rate it.
AMELIA_HAPPY: Yeah, us girls gotta do it for ourselves!
{0}_FLIRTY: If me and {1} win, it’s all about the love for me.
GRACE_HAPPY: What would you spend the money on?
AMELIA_HAPPY: Defo a deposit on a house. I’m so ready to have a home to settle in.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Don’t say you’re moving Toby in already?!
AMELIA_HAPPY: No! He can stay over as much as he wants though.
{0}_HAPPY: I’d have the best time with the money. Holidays, parties, fancy restaurants.
GRACE_HAPPY: Nah, I’d invest in my business. Deposit on a salon or something.
GRACE_FLIRTY: I have a salon empire to build.
GRACE_HAPPY: How would you spend the money, {0}?
Splash the cash
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’d splash the cash and do whatever I wanted!
PLAYER_HAPPY: I just wanna have a good time!
{0}_HAPPY: Yes!
{0}_HAPPY: This is why we’re a great couple.
{0}_HAPPY: This is why we’re besties.
GRACE_HAPPY: You'd have a great time living it up.
Building a business empire
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’d start building my business empire.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Putting the money into my brand would be amazing.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I could rent out a private space to train clients and upgrade my gym equipment.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I could start funding a prototype I’ve been dreaming of.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I could start raising funding for a charity I’ve been dreaming of.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I could start funding a project I’ve been dreaming of.
PLAYER_HAPPY: And I could fund my next building project!
PLAYER_HAPPY: I could invest in the fabrics and machines for my label.
PLAYER_HAPPY: It would give me even more time to figure out what business empire I want.
AMELIA_HAPPY: Such a great idea.
AMELIA_HAPPY: Not sure {0} would agree?
{0}_HAPPY: I’d support {1} if that’s what she wanted.
{0}_FLIRTY: Love an ambitious woman.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Thanks, {0}.
{0}_HAPPY: I’m sure he’d be happy to support her.
{0}_HAPPY: Gotta love a bit of ambition.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You defo do!
I want a house
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’d buy a house too.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Love the idea of renovating and building my dream home.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Might as well use my architect skills.
AMELIA_HAPPY: You’d think we were twins.
GRACE_HAPPY: Love these answers, girls. We know what we want!
GRACE_HAPPY: But we’re here for love and I’m so ready for these final dates!
AMELIA_HAPPY: Let’s make sure we look the part then!
AMELIA_HAPPY: What’s your vibe for today, {0}?
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Love this one!
{0}_FLIRTY: That’s for sure a final date outfit.
AMELIA_FLIRTY: You look so good! I’ve got to start looking in your wardrobe for inspo.
PLAYER_IDLE: This is the one I want to wear.
AMELIA_IDLE: You sure? This is the last time you’ll go on a date in the villa.
GRACE_IDLE: Yeah, you’ll want to feel amazing.
True, I’ll look again
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Love this one!
{0}_FLIRTY: That’s for sure a final date outfit.
{0}_FLIRTY: I won’t be able to take my eyes off of you.
AMELIA_FLIRTY: You look so good! I’ve got to start looking in your wardrobe for inspo.
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m wearing this one.
{0}_IDLE: Cool. Do you.
I’m happy with this
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m wearing this one.
{0}_IDLE: Cool. Do you.
AMELIA_HAPPY: It’s not fair how good we look!
GRACE_FLIRTY: Let’s get these final dates started.
You and the girls head out ready for your dates.
You and {0} arrive at a beach where strawberries and a bottle of fizz has been laid out for your final date.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Wow, now this is a final date!
{0}_FLIRTY: I was hoping we’d get a romantic date.
{0}_FLIRTY: Anything at the beach is romantic. I don’t make the rules.
{0}_FLIRTY: It’s boujee as.
You and {0} walk on to a luxurious boat deck where a bottle of fizz has been laid out for your final date.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Wow, now this is a final date.
{0}_FLIRTY: I was hoping we’d get an adventurous date!
PLAYER_HAPPY: You think yachts are adventurous?
{0}_FLIRTY: For sure! We’re <i>on</i> the water!
{0}_FLIRTY: It’s boujee as.
{0}_HAPPY: Let’s get this date started with a bang.
{0} pops open the bottle and pours you both a glass.
{0}_FLIRTY: Cheers to us and our time together. I wouldn’t want to be here with anyone else.
You clink glasses and look out over the water.
{0}_HAPPY: I think this might be the best date I’ve been on.
{0}_FLIRTY: I know you said you didn’t like dates on the beach on our first date.
{0}_FLIRTY: But this is a little step up, right?
{0}_FLIRTY: What do you think?
Best date ever
PLAYER_FLIRTY: It’s defo the best date.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I don’t know how this can be topped.
{0}_HAPPY: Talk about pressure, {1}!
{0}_FLIRTY: I’ll be sweating trying to make our next date even better.
{0}_HAPPY: But it’ll be worth it if I get to spend more time with you.
We’ve only just got here
PLAYER_SERIOUS: We’ve only just got here! Could turn out to be the worst date ever.
{0}_SURPRISED: Talk about pressure, {1}!
{0}_HAPPY: Now I’ve got to make sure I’m on top form for the rest of the date.
{0}_FLIRTY: Make sure you have a great time with me so we can keep doing this together.
I’ve had better
PLAYER_HAPPY: I have dates like this all the time.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Even better than this actually.
{0}_SURPRISED: Talk about pressure, {1}!
{0}_HAPPY: I’ll have to think of a way I can top this.
{0}_FLIRTY: You deserve the best so I don’t mind.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: So you’re planning to take me on more dates?
{0}_FLIRTY: Of course. If you’ll let me.
{0}_HAPPY: Can’t believe we’ll be on our way home tomorrow.
{0}_FLIRTY: We won’t be living together anymore.
PLAYER_IDLE: Back to real life.
{0}_HAPPY: That will be the real test for us.
{0}_HAPPY: How do you think we’ll do?
We’re going the distance
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I think we’re gonna make it.
PLAYER_HAPPY: There’s no test we can’t pass.
{0}_HAPPY: Couldn’t agree more.
{0}_HAPPY: Everything is easy with you.
I don’t think we’ll pass this test
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’m not sure if we can pass that test.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It works in here but real life will catch up with us fast.
{0}_SURPRISED: I guess…
{0}_HAPPY: But I’ll do my best to make it work outside too.
Who knows, can’t say right now
PLAYER_IDLE: Who knows. I don’t think I can answer that yet.
PLAYER_IDLE: It could work outside the villa but then it could flop.
{0}_HAPPY: I’m hoping for the first one.
{0}_HAPPY: I’m happy to put the work in, {1}.
{0}_HAPPY: It’s been amazing getting to know you no matter what happens outside.
{0}_FLIRTY: And I do have something to ask you tonight.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Not now?
{0}_HAPPY: I think tonight will be better.
{0}_HAPPY: But I did want to ask something else before tonight.
{0}_IDLE: And I know you said you’re not sure we’ll make it on the outside.
{0}_HAPPY: I’d like you to meet my family.
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing intense. Just my mum and nan. Actually, the football lads would love to meet you too.
{0}_HAPPY: Something chill. Just a casual dinner. To get to know real world Jamal a little better.
{0}_HAPPY: If you want to come up to Leeds for a day or two? I can take you to the pub that gave me my first gig.
{0}_HAPPY: We could spend a weekend in Portugal? Nothing too intense.
{0}_HAPPY: I think my mum would love you. I’d love to take you both out for dinner.
{0}_HAPPY: I think my sisters will love you. I’m sure Murph will too.
{0}_HAPPY: Would you want to fly out to meet my parents? I think they're still in Vietnam.
{0}_HAPPY: I’d love to show you my hometown. Where I learned to dance.
{0}_HAPPY: I’ll take you to my fave Italian spot. You can meet them over some good wine and food.
{0}_HAPPY: You’ve already met one member of my family so why not the rest?
{0}_HAPPY: You’ve already met one member of my family so why not the rest?
{0}_HAPPY: I’m not saying we fly to Australia or anything. They’ll be in the UK for a bit.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: I know it sounds a bit much but it would mean a lot.
{0}_HAPPY: I want you to know all of me. Just like I want to know all of you.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: Sound cool?
Sounds fun! I’d love to meet them
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’d love to!
PLAYER_HAPPY: I want to get to know everything about you.
{0}_FLIRTY: Even the not so good bits?
PLAYER_HAPPY: I said all of you didn’t I?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Meeting people who are important to you is important for me too.
Maybe we should chill out
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I think we might be going too fast, {0}.
{0}_SURPRISED: Really?
PLAYER_IDLE: Can we keep it chill? For now?
{0}_IDLE: Sure. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
{0}_HAPPY: Maybe when we figure out what we are outside the villa.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’d like that.
Nah, I’m not the meet the family type
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’m not really that kind of girl. Meeting the parents isn’t my kind of thing.
{0}_SURPRISED: Really? Wow, I didn’t see that coming.
{0}_IDLE: You’re so close with Amelia so I thought you’d be all about family.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: My family, sure. Meeting other people’s families is always a nightmare.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Let’s just keep this as an us thing.
{0}_HAPPY: Works for me.
{0}_HAPPY: This summer has been an experience.
{0}_HAPPY: We’ve defo had a journey together.
PLAYER_HAPPY: A good one I hope.
{0}_FLIRTY: For sure.
{0}_HAPPY: We’ve been in the villa since the beginning together.
{0}_HAPPY: The ups and downs. The steals.
PLAYER_HAPPY: The mix-ups.
{0}_HAPPY: You do love hiding in bushes don't you.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Best way to get the goss.
{0}_IDLE: It’s not been easy going but I’ve had the best time.
{0}_HAPPY: We’ve been in the villa since nearly day 1.
{0}_HAPPY: The ups and downs. The steals.
PLAYER_HAPPY: The mix-ups.
{0}_HAPPY: You do love hiding in bushes don't you.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Best way to get the goss.
{0}_IDLE: It’s not been easy going but I’ve had the best time.
{0}_FLIRTY: We’ve been in the villa since the beginning together.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Besties from the start.
{0}_HAPPY: I wasn’t sure we’d get here.
{0}_HAPPY: But it’s so easy with you and we just kept being drawn back together.
{0}_HAPPY: We’ve been in the villa since the beginning together.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: The lingering looks and talks.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: The drama.
{0}_FLIRTY: It was all worth it. To be here with you now.
{0}_FLIRTY: Coming in during Casa had me worried. What if I didn’t connect with anyone.
{0}_FLIRTY: Obvs I knew I was good once I met you.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: You thought I was an easy target?
{0}_EMBARRASSED: No!
{0}_FLIRTY: The connection was instant. No worries after that.
{0}_FLIRTY: Coming in during Casa had me worried. What if I didn’t connect with anyone.
{0}_FLIRTY: Obvs I knew I was good once I met you.
PLAYER_HAPPY: And your connection with Amelia?
{0}_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, it got a bit weird for a moment but it got us here.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: We’ve had our ups and downs.
{0}_FLIRTY: It was worth it. To be here with you right now.
{0}_FLIRTY: Jumping out in the pirate challenge I thought everyone had made their decisions.
{0}_FLIRTY: Stealing you was a risk but I had to go with my gut.
PLAYER_HAPPY: That was a bold move.
{0}_FLIRTY: It was worth it. To be here with you right now.
{0}_FLIRTY: When I jumped out of the chest and met the boys, I knew I wasn’t gonna connect with any of them.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Even your flirty date with {0}?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nope. Just you.
{0}_FLIRTY: And I’m glad. Because I get to be here with you. That’s all I want.
{0}_HAPPY: Coming in so late and then not really having a spark with {1} was not a vibe.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: And all that drama with the postcard!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah that was a day.
{0}_FLIRTY: But it was worth it. To be here with you right now.
{0}_FLIRTY: My time here wouldn’t have been the same without you.
{0}_HAPPY: I wouldn’t change anything about my time here.
{0}_IDLE: Would you?
I’d change some things
PLAYER_IDLE: Of course I would.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Make the summer go a little smoother.
{0}_HAPPY: Ah, but that’s what makes this all more fun.
{0}_HAPPY: The messy bits.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You like messy bits?
{0}_FLIRTY: Love them. Who wants perfection anyway?
{0}_FLIRTY: Unless we’re talking about you, {1}.
No regrets, no changes for me
PLAYER_HAPPY: I wouldn’t change a thing.
PLAYER_HAPPY: The ups and downs and awkward moments are what make it all so good.
PLAYER_HAPPY: It’s not that deep so why change it.
{0}_HAPPY: You’re a wise woman, {1}.
{0}_FLIRTY: A date and a philosophy lesson. Jackpot.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Smooth.
{0} leans forward, not taking his eyes off you as they wander to your lips.
{0}_FLIRTY: Can’t help it when I'm with you.
{0} leans forward, not taking her eyes off you. She softly bites her lip.
{0}_FLIRTY: What can I say? I have to turn the flirt on with you.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I can see that.
{0}_HAPPY: I don’t want this date to end. I could sit here all day with you.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: As long as there’s unlimited food and drinks?
{0}_HAPPY: Exactly! You just get me, {1}.
{0}_FLIRTY: You wanna stay a bit longer? See what else we can get up to together?
*Let’s stay
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’ll stay for the unlimited food and drinks.
{0}_HAPPY: Of course. That’s the only reason.
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my footballer thighs and golden retriever energy?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my cool boy charm and tricks on and off the board?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my sweet boy charm and wicked vocals?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my impressive Portuguese charm and advanced navigation skills?
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Not sure how navigation skills will help a date.
{0}_FLIRTY: You say that now but a storm could roll in and you’d need me then.
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my broad shoulders and impressive dance moves?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my cool boy charm and impressive man bun?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my ability to look great with <i>and</i> without glasses?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with the fact I can do the splits, pirouette, and know how to plie.
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my quick wit and ability to save animals?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with the fact I can absolutely rock a cardigan on a hot summer's day?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my charming accent and cool girl charm?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my amazing playlists and quick wit?
PLAYER_HAPPY: How could I say no to staying longer with that on offer!
{0}_FLIRTY: Which is why you’ve done the right thing.
{0}_FLIRTY: Never doubted your wisdom, {1}.
{0}_HAPPY: It’s also your chance to get to know what else I have to offer.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh yeah?
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Ok, give me a fact I don’t know about you yet.
{0}_HAPPY: Alright, but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you find me irresistible.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Is it gonna be a good one?
{0}_FLIRTY: Oh yeah.
{0}_HAPPY: I never knew what to do with my hands when I was DJ’ing so I took a DJ dance class.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Did it help your moves?
{0}_HAPPY: Oh yeah, it’s mostly just fist pumping.
{0}_HAPPY: Probably could have figured that out without the class actually.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Can’t wait to see it live.
{0}_HAPPY: It’s pretty impressive.
{0}_HAPPY: I coach football classes for the kids in my area.
PLAYER_HAPPY: That’s sweet.
{0}_HAPPY: Not really. They’re pretty terrible and mostly kick me instead of the ball.
{0}_HAPPY: But I find it rewarding!
{0}_HAPPY: Who knows some of them could go pro one day.
{0}_HAPPY: I organised an OAP skate session for my nan and her friends.
PLAYER_HAPPY: No way!
{0}_HAPPY: They used to see me with my board when I visited her and wanted to try it.
{0}_HAPPY: Turns out you can teach old dogs new tricks.
{0}_HAPPY: They had the best time, got me weirdly emotional!
{0}_HAPPY: I used to be scared of heights so I took myself skydiving.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: And it worked?
{0}_HAPPY: Oh, no. Made my fear worse if anything. But I tried.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh! Not great then.
{0}_HAPPY: It felt good to push myself anyway.
{0}_HAPPY: I wanted to surprise my mum and take her flying. She always said she wanted me to.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Did she love it?
{0}_HAPPY: No, she cried when I did a 360. Probably shouldn’t have done that looking back.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Bet you regretted that.
{0}_HAPPY: Yeah she didn’t talk to me for the rest of the day.
{0}_HAPPY: Ever since I was a child I wanted to go shark diving so I booked it for my birthday.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Was it amazing?
{0}_EMBARRASSED: I couldn’t go in the water. I freaked out. Sharks are actually massive.
{0}_HAPPY: I just admired them from the boat.
PLAYER_HAPPY: So brave…
{0}_HAPPY: I used to be scared of heights so I took myself skydiving.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: And it worked?
{0}_HAPPY: Oh, no. Made my fear worse if anything. But I tried.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh! Not great then.
{0}_HAPPY: It felt good to push myself anyway.
{0}_HAPPY: I love to knit.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You do?!
{0}_HAPPY: Yeah, not the first thing I tell people.
{0}_HAPPY: I got into it at uni, used it to destress.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What do you knit?
{0}_HAPPY: Anything! Scarves, jumpers, socks! I’ll have to make you something.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Sure!
{0}_HAPPY: I was dragged to Ibiza for a mates stag and we went to a massive club.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: That’s your fact? Doesn’t sound very <i>you</i>.
{0}_HAPPY: Oh no, the fact is I kinda loved it. My third eye is a raver apparently.
{0}_HAPPY: I slipped over in a paint party and got covered head to toe.
{0}_HAPPY: When we got back to the hotel I stumbled and fell into all of the walls.
{0}_HAPPY: When I woke up the next day there were me shaped markings in the corridors.
PLAYER_HAPPY: That’s embarrassing.
{0}_HAPPY: I used to sleepwalk when I was younger.
PLAYER_IDLE: Really?
{0}_EMBARRASSED: Sometimes still do now actually.
{0}_HAPPY: I woke up in the kitchen on our first week here!
{0}_HAPPY: Had eaten half a yoghurt.
{0}_HAPPY: Used to freak Marsh out so much!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Not surprised!
{0}_HAPPY: When we were younger Oz would sleepwalk at night.
{0}_HAPPY: So I’d follow him around and make sure he got back into bed.
{0}_HAPPY: He used to say the creepiest things.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Like what?
{0}_HAPPY: He used to recite love poems.
{0}_HAPPY: Guessing he was dreaming of his crush?
{0}_HAPPY: We were low on lifeguards back home so I organised a fun day to get people to apply.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Did it work?
{0}_HAPPY: Oh yeah! You telling me you wouldn’t want to work in a place that organises bean bag races?
{0}_HAPPY: We signed up 15 lifeguards that day!
{0}_FLIRTY: Was probably all the slow motion running we were doing.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Wow. That was a fact.
{0}_HAPPY: Told you it was gonna impress you!
{0}_HAPPY: This is what makes us a stronger couple.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Is that so?
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Do you think the other couples are as strong as us?
{0}_FLIRTY: You’re joking? Nah, we’ve got this.
{0}_FLIRTY: Don’t get me wrong, there’s some good connections between the others.
{0}_FLIRTY: But me and you have something beyond a good connection.
PLAYER_HAPPY: And what’s that? A beyond good connection?
{0} laughs before looking into your eyes with a confident smile.
{0}_HAPPY: I feel like we have an effortless connection. We don’t need to try.
{0}_HAPPY: It just happens naturally.
{0}_FLIRTY: I never feel like we run out of things to say or discuss.
{0}_FLIRTY: But the biggest thing for me is, I don’t care.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: About what?
{0}_FLIRTY: I don’t care how anyone else’s date goes today.
{0}_FLIRTY: All I can think about is you.
I feel the same way
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I feel exactly the same. It’s like you read my mind.
{0}_FLIRTY: Like I said. Effortless.
{0}_FLIRTY: The longer we spend together the closer I can feel us getting.
{0}_FLIRTY: It’s like we can finally just focus on each other.
{0}_FLIRTY: It’s a great feeling.
I still care about the others
PLAYER_IDLE: I still care about the others and how their dates went, if I’m being honest.
{0}_FLIRTY: That’s because you’re the kindest, most thoughtful person I’ve ever met.
{0}_FLIRTY: It’s one of the things I love about you.
I love it when you talk like this
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I love it when you talk like this, {0}.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Laying your heart on the line.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: It’s sexy.
{0}_FLIRTY: Didn’t even realise I was doing it.
{0}_FLIRTY: I was just being honest with my feelings.
{0}_FLIRTY: Like I said, effortless.
PLAYER_HAPPY: So, do you know what you’ll do tonight?
{0} leans forward with a smile playing on {1} lips.
{0}_FLIRTY: Oh, I know exactly what I’m gonna do.
{0}_FLIRTY: But it’s a secret for now.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: You sure you don’t want to tell me?
{0}_FLIRTY: Hmmm, I’ll give you a little hint.
{0} leans in to whisper in your ear.
{0}_FLIRTY: I plan on asking you an important question I think you’ll like…
{0} leans back slightly and look into your eyes.
PLAYER_HAPPY: That’s all I get?
{0}_FLIRTY: What else do you want?
Snog {0}
You lean into {0} and push your lips to {1} hungrily.
{0} matches your energy. Pulling you closer and softly biting your lip.
You get into a rhythm as your tongue moves over {0}.
You pull away from the embrace.
{0}_FLIRTY: You can defo have that anytime you want.
Peck {0}
You lean into {0} and softly peck {1} on the lips.
You feel his stubble brush your face.
Her soft lips push against yours.
{0} place {1} hand on your cheek. Caressing your jaw with {2} thumb.
You pull away from the embrace.
{0}_FLIRTY: You can defo have that anytime you want.
Lean away
You lean back away from {0}.
PLAYER_IDLE: Nothing right now.
{0}_HAPPY: Let me know when you do.
Let’s get back to the villa
PLAYER_IDLE: I think we should get back to the villa now.
{0}_IDLE: Ah, I guess we do have a big night ahead of us.
{0}_HAPPY: You sure you don’t want to stay a little longer?
{0}_FLIRTY: This is our last official villa date.
*Ok, let’s stay
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’ll stay for the unlimited food and drinks.
{0}_HAPPY: Of course. That’s the only reason.
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my footballer thighs and golden retriever energy?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my cool boy charm and tricks on and off the board?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my sweet boy charm and wicked vocals?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my impressive Portuguese charm and advanced navigation skills?
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Not sure how navigation skills will help a date.
{0}_FLIRTY: You say that now but a storm could roll in and you’d need me then.
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my broad shoulders and impressive dance moves?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my cool boy charm and impressive man bun?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my ability to look great with <i>and</i> without glasses?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with the fact I can do the splits, pirouette, and know how to plie.
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my quick wit and ability to save animals?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with the fact I can absolutely rock a cardigan on a hot summer's day?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my charming accent and cool girl charm?
{0}_FLIRTY: Nothing to do with my amazing playlists and quick wit?
PLAYER_HAPPY: How could I say no to staying longer with that on offer!
{0}_FLIRTY: Which is why you’ve done the right thing.
{0}_FLIRTY: Never doubted your wisdom, {1}.
{0}_HAPPY: It’s also your chance to get to know what else I have to offer.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh yeah?
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Ok, give me a fact I don’t know about you yet.
{0}_HAPPY: Alright, but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you find me irresistible.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Is it gonna be a good one?
{0}_FLIRTY: Oh yeah.
{0}_HAPPY: I never knew what to do with my hands when I was DJ’ing so I took a DJ dance class.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Did it help your moves?
{0}_HAPPY: Oh yeah, it’s mostly just fist pumping.
{0}_HAPPY: Probably could have figured that out without the class actually.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Can’t wait to see it live.
{0}_HAPPY: It’s pretty impressive.
{0}_HAPPY: I coach football classes for the kids in my area.
PLAYER_HAPPY: That’s sweet.
{0}_HAPPY: Not really. They’re pretty terrible and mostly kick me instead of the ball.
{0}_HAPPY: But I find it rewarding!
{0}_HAPPY: Who knows some of them could go pro one day.
{0}_HAPPY: I organised an OAP skate session for my nan and her friends.
PLAYER_HAPPY: No way!
{0}_HAPPY: They used to see me with my board when I visited her and wanted to try it.
{0}_HAPPY: Turns out you can teach old dogs new tricks.
{0}_HAPPY: They had the best time, got me weirdly emotional!
{0}_HAPPY: I used to be scared of heights so I took myself skydiving.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: And it worked?
{0}_HAPPY: Oh, no. Made my fear worse if anything. But I tried.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh! Not great then.
{0}_HAPPY: It felt good to push myself anyway.
{0}_HAPPY: I wanted to surprise my mum and take her flying. She always said she wanted me to.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Did she love it?
{0}_HAPPY: No, she cried when I did a 360. Probably shouldn’t have done that looking back.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Bet you regretted that.
{0}_HAPPY: Yeah she didn’t talk to me for the rest of the day.
{0}_HAPPY: Ever since I was a child I wanted to go shark diving so I booked it for my birthday.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Was it amazing?
{0}_EMBARRASSED: I couldn’t go in the water. I freaked out. Sharks are actually massive.
{0}_HAPPY: I just admired them from the boat.
PLAYER_HAPPY: So brave…
{0}_HAPPY: I used to be scared of heights so I took myself skydiving.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: And it worked?
{0}_HAPPY: Oh, no. Made my fear worse if anything. But I tried.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh! Not great then.
{0}_HAPPY: It felt good to push myself anyway.
{0}_HAPPY: I love to knit.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You do?!
{0}_HAPPY: Yeah, not the first thing I tell people.
{0}_HAPPY: I got into it at uni, used it to destress.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What do you knit?
{0}_HAPPY: Anything! Scarves, jumpers, socks! I’ll have to make you something.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Sure!
{0}_HAPPY: I was dragged to Ibiza for a mates stag and we went to a massive club.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: That’s your fact? Doesn’t sound very <i>you</i>.
{0}_HAPPY: Oh no, the fact is I kinda loved it. My third eye is a raver apparently.
{0}_HAPPY: I slipped over in a paint party and got covered head to toe.
{0}_HAPPY: When we got back to the hotel I stumbled and fell into all of the walls.
{0}_HAPPY: When I woke up the next day there were me shaped markings in the corridors.
PLAYER_HAPPY: That’s embarrassing.
{0}_HAPPY: I used to sleepwalk when I was younger.
PLAYER_IDLE: Really?
{0}_EMBARRASSED: Sometimes still do now actually.
{0}_HAPPY: I woke up in the kitchen on our first week here!
{0}_HAPPY: Had eaten half a yoghurt.
{0}_HAPPY: Used to freak Marsh out so much!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Not surprised!
{0}_HAPPY: When we were younger Oz would sleepwalk at night.
{0}_HAPPY: So I’d follow him around and make sure he got back into bed.
{0}_HAPPY: He used to say the creepiest things.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Like what?
{0}_HAPPY: He used to recite love poems.
{0}_HAPPY: Guessing he was dreaming of his crush?
{0}_HAPPY: We were low on lifeguards back home so I organised a fun day to get people to apply.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Did it work?
{0}_HAPPY: Oh yeah! You telling me you wouldn’t want to work in a place that organises bean bag races?
{0}_HAPPY: We signed up 15 lifeguards that day!
{0}_FLIRTY: Was probably all the slow motion running we were doing.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Wow. That was a fact.
{0}_HAPPY: Told you it was gonna impress you!
{0}_HAPPY: This is what makes us a stronger couple.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Is that so?
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Do you think the other couples are as strong as us?
{0}_FLIRTY: You’re joking? Nah, we’ve got this.
{0}_FLIRTY: Don’t get me wrong, there’s some good connections between the others.
{0}_FLIRTY: But me and you have something beyond a good connection.
PLAYER_HAPPY: And what’s that? A beyond good connection?
{0} laughs before looking into your eyes with a confident smile.
{0}_HAPPY: I feel like we have an effortless connection. We don’t need to try.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Yeah?
{0}_FLIRTY: I think we defo had the best date.
{0}_HAPPY: How do you think the other dates went?
Not as good as ours
PLAYER_HAPPY: No way any of them had a better date than us.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: How could they top this?
{0}_FLIRTY: You’re right. We date so well.
Prob better than this
PLAYER_SERIOUS: They had to have a better time than this.
{0}_SAD: Oh, you think?

{0}_HAPPY: Maybe I need to up my game to impress you.
We’ll find out soon
PLAYER_HAPPY: Who knows! But we’ll defo find out.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Once we get all the goss when we get back.
{0}_FLIRTY: You’re right! Love the debriefs after dates.
{0}_FLIRTY: I can’t wait for tonight now.
{0}_FLIRTY: I can’t wait to see what you wear.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Only a little longer and you’ll get to see.
{0}_FLIRTY: You’re gonna love my look.
{0}_FLIRTY: Dashing and impossibly handsome comes to mind.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Humble and modest as well.
{0}_FLIRTY: Impossibly hot and chic comes to mind.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh I bet.
{0}_HAPPY: We should get going. I’ve got a hot declaration later with this amazing girl.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Lucky her.
{0}_FLIRTY: More like lucky me.
You stand up and {0} leads you back to the villa.
