After five heartfelt encounters, actor Chun Jung Myung finally took a quiet but meaningful step forward, gently suggesting an “after-date” — a small gesture that said a lot coming from someone as introspective as he is.

On the April 14th episode of tvN STORY’s 'Never Late for Love,' viewers watched Chun Jung Myung go on a date with Lee Se Ryeong, who is 15 years younger than him, and make his final decision on the show.

“I’m not good at expressing myself,” he admitted during the episode. “Sometimes I can be vague.” 

When Lee Se Ryeong asked if he was doing it on purpose, he responded honestly: “That’s part of it… but also because I could get hurt.” His words revealed a thoughtful, self-protective side — someone who handles his emotions with care. “I don’t make bold moves or open up easily,” he added, showing just how guarded he’s been when it comes to love.

Lee Se Ryeong, meanwhile, showed surprising maturity. “For a relationship to grow, someone has to be brave enough to risk getting hurt,” she said. Though she was initially thrown off by his hesitations, she came to understand him better: “I realized he’s someone who needs time — someone worth waiting for.”

Throughout the season, Chun Jung Myung met five different women. Reflecting on the journey, he said, “Not a single one of those meetings was taken lightly.” It was clear he’d kept his emotions close to the chest. But eventually, something shifted. What began as cautious interest quietly grew into something more — the desire to revisit a particular connection.

When he finally made his choice, the woman he approached was only shown from behind. Her name and expression were never revealed on camera. Even so, his intention was clear. Every uncertain word, every quiet pause, every moment of hesitation had been leading to that one simple act of reaching out.

In the end, what remained was a quiet yet undeniable pull toward someone who meant something to him. It was a subtle, sincere confession, expressed in the most Chun Jung Myung way possible.
