### Summary
The established "honeymoon phase" between Jiyoon and Siwoo has been abruptly fractured by a severe communication breakdown, overwhelmingly driven by Jiyoon's internal struggles. Following the events of the previous chapter, her insecurity regarding Siwoo's past divorce has festered, causing her to withdraw and give him the silent treatment. Reader commentary confirms this conflict has intensified, with the vast majority expressing frustration at Jiyoon's "childish" and immature behavior. The consensus is that she is unfairly expecting Siwoo to be a mind-reader, sulking over uncommunicated feelings while he consistently attempts to bridge the emotional gap. A few readers theorize her insecurity was triggered by seeing Siwoo with his now-married ex-wife and amplified by her mother's negative opinion of divorcees. Furthermore, it is suggested that her past relationship with Gaeul instilled a belief that direct communication is futile, causing her to sabotage her current, more stable partnership. While a minority opinion holds Siwoo also responsible for not being more direct, the dominant view is that Jiyoon's failure to communicate is jeopardizing their mature bond, shifting the narrative from an office romance to a psychological test of her ability to overcome past trauma.
