### Summary
Following Ja-wook's confession, the feared explosive confrontation did not materialize. Instead, the chapter shifts focus to Gyum's internal conflict after he seemingly rejects Ja-wook. The central development, echoed repeatedly by readers, is Gyum's state of confusion, encapsulated by his question, "Why does this feel bad?" The audience overwhelmingly interprets this as the Dom developing romantic feelings and being in denial, signaling a pivotal turn in the emotional dynamic. This has led to widespread reader frustration and amusement at his emotional denseness, with many anticipating a "regret arc." While Ja-wook is left devastated by the rejection, a recurring minor detail that captured audience attention was his subsequent distraction, causing him to forget to give treats to his cat, Podo. The consensus is that while the immediate crisis of the confession has passed, it has triggered a new, more introspective conflict for Gyum, moving the plot towards an inevitable, angsty realization of mutual feelings.
