### Summary
The narrative continues its decisive pivot away from the original protagonists, Jiyoon and Siwoo, to focus entirely on the secondary romance between Noah and Jaein, which has now become the story's central plot. This chapter chronicles an intimate "Netflix and chill" encounter, presumably in a hotel, where their relationship deepens significantly. A key moment highlighted by readers is when a sleepy Jaein asks Noah to get her a glass of water in the middle of the night. This simple act is perceived as a profoundly cute and domestic gesture, suggesting a level of comfort and intimacy that readers compare to a married couple. The audience's comments celebrate this as a healthy, supportive relationship for Jaein, who is shown reflecting on her past behavior and realizing she no longer needs to be a "doormat." The overwhelmingly positive reader response, filled with descriptions like "cute" and "hot," confirms that the audience is fully invested in Noah and Jaein, cementing their role as the new, beloved focus of the manga after the previous main couple's storyline alienated readers.
