### Summary
The narrative has shifted focus from the main couple's external conflicts to the internal crisis brewing within the secondary couple, Noah and Jaein. Previously lauded for their healthy dynamic, their relationship is now being tested by the significant age and life-stage gap between them. Reader commentary indicates that Noah, an office worker, is struggling with feelings of insecurity and jealousy, comparing her life to others and feeling "old" in relation to Jaein, who is still a college student. This tension has become a central point of conflict, highlighted by an incident where Noah declined to meet Jaein's friends. While readers find Noah's anxieties relatable, they express significant doubt about the couple's long-term future, viewing the generational divide—one focused on career progression while the other navigates midterms—as a fundamental and perhaps insurmountable obstacle. This internal struggle marks a serious challenge for the once-beloved secondary pairing, whose future is now perceived as tricky and uncertain.
