### Summary
The romance between Jiyoon Cha and Manager Kang continues to be the central focus, with readers captivated by his thoughtful gestures, such as remembering small details about her. This act is seen as incredibly sweet and has further solidified his place as the fan-favorite love interest, though his actions are also perceived as "mixed signals" that leave Jiyoon, and by extension the audience, feeling endearingly confused. In a significant development for the secondary plot, Noah's ex-boyfriend, Guwon, is publicly confronted for badmouthing her, a moment largely cheered by readers who felt Noah was treated unfairly. Despite this dramatic confrontation, audience fatigue with Noah's "toxic" storyline persists, with many readers expressing disinterest in her arc. The chapter also marks the exciting return of a fan-favorite character named Sunghyeon, whose appearance has generated considerable enthusiasm. With Jiyoon's ex, Gaeul, now relegated to an afterthought, some readers have begun speculating on new pairings, such as Gaeul and Noah, demonstrating a clear shift in narrative investment away from the original love triangle.
