### Summary
Following his internal conflict from the previous chapter, Gyum experiences a significant emotional breakthrough, acknowledging he "can't pretend not to know anymore" about his feelings for Ja-wook. This moment of realization, which readers celebrated as a major step forward, is immediately complicated by external interference. Gyum's friends intervene and advise him that "dating isn't the answer," a sentiment that has drawn widespread frustration and anger from the audience, who overwhelmingly feel the friends should not meddle in his private life. The chapter has intensified reader speculation about the source of Gyum's reluctance to form relationships, with many theories focusing on a mysterious ring he wears, suggesting a past tragedy or a deceased lover. While the central conflict shifts to Gyum navigating his newfound feelings against his friends' poor advice, some readers also theorize that the perceptive Dom may have already realized Ja-wook is not a genuine masochist. Amid the dramatic tension, a recurring humorous observation among readers was a bartender apparently serving a margarita in a martini glass. The consensus is that while Gyum has finally accepted his emotions, new obstacles in the form of his friends and his unresolved past have immediately surfaced.
