## Chapter
- number: 17
- release_date: 2025-03-09

### Summary
The chapter focuses on the developing, yet contentious, dynamic between Han Nokyoung and Kang Junil, presumably during their date. Readers are overwhelmingly captivated by Nokyoung's appearance, with his stylish outfit and beret receiving universal praise for making him look exceptionally "cute," "pretty," and "beautiful." This positive visual reception is contrasted by the chapter's central conflict: Kang Junil's repeated and insensitive comments. He continuously brings up Nokyoung's past relationship with Jang Hyunjae, referring to him as a "puppet" and making remarks about his weight. This behavior is heavily criticized by readers as rude, invalidating, and ignorant of the trauma and grooming Nokyoung experienced. The conflict culminates in Nokyoung confronting Junil, a moment celebrated by the audience as a sign of his growing confidence and self-respect. The chapter seemingly ends on this tense note, with a final panel of Nokyoung pouting that readers found both adorable and amusing. While the interaction between the leads is the main event, the underlying threats from the previous chapter—Nokyoung's estranged parents and Hyunjae's surveillance—remain a source of anxiety for the audience.
