### Summary
The latest chapter pivots to the emotional climax of a breakup, revealing that the character Noah was in a seven-year relationship with Jiyoon's ex, Gaeul (also called Guwon). The reason for the split is Gaeul's confession that his feelings have changed and he has fallen for someone else, though he insists he ended things before cheating. This revelation has fractured reader opinion; while he was previously seen as a "scumbag," many now view him with more nuance, respecting his honesty and acknowledging that feelings can't be forced. However, the dominant focus of reader commentary is Noah's desperate reaction: she kneels and begs him to stay. This act has drawn widespread criticism, with the majority of readers expressing shock and disappointment, urging her to "get up" and maintain her self-respect. A smaller contingent of readers defends Noah, empathizing with the pain of a long-term relationship ending and arguing that her actions are a realistic, albeit painful, result of her deep emotional investment and desperation. The previous speculation regarding a potential pregnancy for Noah has been completely overshadowed by the raw, undignified fallout of the breakup.
