In a surprising turn of events, Won Shik chose Honoka for the farewell kiss, a decision that captured everyone's attention.
Honoka expressed her happiness at being the chosen one, and Won Shik, feeling a sense of regret, apologized to her for not picking her for the last scene.
When asked about his decision, Won Shik candidly shared that, despite his liking for Nozomi, his feelings for Honoka ran deeper.

In the beginning, Won Shik had initially chosen Honoka, creating a seemingly promising connection.
However, the plot took a dramatic turn when Honoka unexpectedly chose Lee Tae Gyun over Won Shik, dropping a bombshell that left not only Won Shik but all the contestants in shock.
Expressing her crush on Tae Gyun and claiming a stronger liking for him, Honoka's choice disrupted the budding connection between her and Won Shik.
In response to this revelation, Won Shik, surprised and hurt, distanced himself from Honoka for days, the sudden shift casting a shadow over their once-promising relationship.
In a surprising twist of fate, Tae Gyun later found a connection with Ayano Kudo, and Honoka found herself once again paired with Won Shik.
However, this reunion didn't restore the previous dynamics, especially for Won Shik. He began acting differently around Honoka, and it became evident that he wasn't as into her as before.
This unexpected change affected Honoka deeply. Feeling the shift in Won Shik's behavior, she later revealed that her initial choice was not intentional, expressing regret for the way things unfolded.
She acknowledged the unintended consequences of her actions, and as she grappled with the aftermath, Honoka wished she could turn back time and undo the choices that had altered the course of their connection.
Kim Won Shik reveals kissing Nozomi Bando was 'tough'
Even though Won Shik chose Nozomi Bando for the last scene, his feelings for Honoka lingered, and he couldn't shake off the upset from their tumultuous encounter in the third episode. Nozomi, keen on establishing a connection with Won Shik, made sincere efforts to get closer to him.
However, despite Nozomi's attempts, Won Shik found himself unable to erase thoughts of Honoka.
While shooting scenes with Nozomi, his mind would involuntarily drift back to the moments he had shared with Honoka. The weight of their past interactions, especially the fallout in the third episode, proved to be a persistent presence in his mind.
The challenge became even more apparent during intimate scenes with Nozomi. At one point, Won Shik, overwhelmed by the difficulty of kissing Nozomi while haunted by Honoka's image, broke down and had to take a break.
The emotional toll of the unresolved feelings for Honoka became a tangible barrier, making it challenging for Won Shik to fully invest in his connection with Nozomi despite the scenes they were supposed to enact together.
