### Summary
The central romance between Jiyoon Cha and Manager Kang (Siwoo) takes a definitive step forward as his feelings for her are finally confirmed. This revelation stems from a humorous scene where a friend, identified by readers as Seulgi, deciphers his romantic interest from his "eyes," a claim that has delighted the audience, who overwhelmingly agree that his stoic expression is impossible to read. This development resolves the long-standing ambiguity of his "mixed signals" and solidifies his position as the primary love interest, effectively concluding the prior love triangle with Jiyoon's ex, Gaeul. While the main relationship blossoms, audience sentiment remains firmly against the secondary plot, with continued expressions of fatigue toward Noah's "toxic" storyline and a strong desire for the narrative to focus solely on Jiyoon and Kang's dynamic. The chapter serves as a pivotal turning point, moving the central pairing from a state of uncertainty into a phase of confirmed mutual interest, much to the satisfaction of the readership.
