### Summary
The central romance between Jiyoon and Siwoo remains stalled due to sustained reader frustration over Jiyoon's negative reactions to Siwoo's past and his suggestion of cohabitation. While some readers express understanding for her hesitation, believing cohabitation should be linked to marriage, the narrative's focus and audience engagement have decisively shifted to the more popular secondary couple, Noah and Jaein. The latest developments have intensified fan speculation, as a character's illness or fainting spell has become a central topic of discussion. Reader comments reinforce the previous theory of a potential pregnancy, directly questioning if a character is "pergnet." However, alternative explanations are also being proposed, such as a stress-induced ulcer, with some fans humorously blaming the demanding work environment for the "abnormally high level of employee fainting." This new medical mystery, whether a pregnancy or something else, has become the primary driver of reader engagement, overshadowing the main couple's unresolved conflict as fans debate its cause and consequences for either relationship.
