### Summary
The narrative has shifted to a flashback, eliciting a strong reader response focused on Jiho's extensive history of unrequited love for Siyoung during her nine-year relationship with her ex, Woojin. The audience is deeply affected by the depiction of his long-term pining, labeling him as "whipped" and "down bad" for Siyoung, and celebrating his devotion as the ultimate "green flag." This portrayal has many readers expressing a desire for a partner like Jiho, with some sharing personal anecdotes of similar real-life relationships where a friend's patience eventually led to romance. In contrast, Siyoung is seen as a loyal "good girl" who was too in love to see Woojin's "trash" nature or Jiho's feelings for her. While the consensus is overwhelmingly romantic, a minority opinion acknowledges that without the foreknowledge of their happy ending, Jiho's behavior could be viewed as disrespectful to her ongoing relationship at the time. Ultimately, the pain of witnessing Jiho's past suffering is amplified by the readers' awareness of his eventual success, making the flashback a poignant reminder of the difficult journey that preceded their current happiness.
