Having appeared suddenly to comfort him, Junil holds the sobbing Nokyoung, creating a moment of tender vulnerability. The scene’s pivotal point, and the main subject of reader commentary, occurs when Junil, while affectionately squishing Nokyoung’s cheeks, tells him not to cry in front of others because he looks "ugly." This comment was universally interpreted by readers not as an insult, but as an endearing and transparent lie meant to hide Junil's deep affection and possessiveness, with many pointing to his own blush as evidence of his true feelings. The interaction marks a significant milestone in their relationship, as Nokyoung is seen blushing for the first time, signaling a new level of emotional intimacy. The overwhelmingly positive reader response celebrated this wholesome, slow-burn development, cementing Junil’s status as a protective "green flag" and leaving fans deeply invested in the couple's burgeoning romance.
