### Summary
The narrative's focus has sharply returned to the main couple following the resolution of the previous chapter's medical mystery. The fainting spell was not a pregnancy, as some fans speculated, but a health crisis for Jiyoon, who has been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. This development has served as a catalyst to showcase the devotion of her partner, Siwoo (Manager Kang), whose deeply emotional and caring reaction—specifically, the fact that he cried for her—has overwhelmingly won over the audience. Readers now praise him as a "peak ML" and the ideal man, a stark contrast to the recent period of stalled romantic progress. While some lingering frustration with Jiyoon's past behavior persists, with readers citing her overreactions to Siwoo's divorce and her hesitation to cohabitate as sources of conflict, the current sentiment strongly urges her to commit to and marry him. The health scare is also interpreted as a consequence of both the demanding work environment and Jiyoon's own failure to heed her body's warning signs, reinforcing a theme of self-neglect.
