### Summary
In a stark reversal from the previous chapter's resolution, the narrative abruptly pivots away from the main couple's romantic bliss to focus entirely on Noah's personal crisis. While the prior chapter successfully rehabilitated Jiyoon and Siwoo's relationship and re-established them as the beloved emotional core, this chapter sidelines them completely. The story now follows Noah's difficult adjustment after moving to an unfamiliar place, where she is overwhelmed by profound loneliness, anxiety, and homesickness. This storyline has deeply resonated with the audience, who express immense empathy for her struggle and share their own similar experiences of isolation. In stark contrast to this wave of support for Noah, the main couple is virtually absent from the discussion; Siwoo is only mentioned in a few passing comments about his attractiveness. This sharp narrative shift once again supplants the main romance, replacing Jiyoon and Siwoo's domestic stability with the solitary and emotionally taxing journey of a secondary character.
