### Summary
This chapter focuses heavily on the dramatic culmination of the secondary plotline involving Jiyoon's coworker, Noah. The central conflict is the definitive confirmation of her ex-boyfriend Guwon's infidelity, or at the very least, his profound betrayal. He is revealed to be celebrating a 50-day anniversary with a new partner, a detail that has ignited intense reader debate. Analysis of the timeline suggests he entered this new relationship a mere ten days after ending his seven-year commitment to Noah. Readers overwhelmingly condemn this as emotional cheating, arguing that he must have been involved with the new woman while still with Noah, citing his previous coldness and disingenuous apologies as evidence. This revelation serves as a vindication for Noah, whose emotional distress following the breakup is now seen as entirely justified. While a new potential love interest offers Noah a hopeful future, the main narrative returns to Jiyoon's own romantic stalemate. Her dynamic with her supervisor, Siwoo, has regressed following his retraction of his confession. The chapter ends on a significant cliffhanger with the sudden and unwelcome reappearance of her ex-boyfriend, Gaeul, a development that promises to throw Jiyoon's already fragile emotional state into further disarray.
