### Summary
Following the complete narrative pivot away from the original protagonists, Jiyoon and Siwoo, the story remains centered on the burgeoning romance between Noah and Jaein. This shift was precipitated by a deeply unpopular arc where Jiyoon's immature reaction to Siwoo's past as a divorcé alienated the audience, causing reader engagement to abandon the main couple. In stark contrast, the relationship between Noah and Jaein is being depicted as a healthy and supportive dynamic, which has been overwhelmingly embraced by readers. The previous chapter highlighted their deepening intimacy through a domestic "Netflix and chill" encounter, with simple, caring gestures earning praise for feeling authentic and sweet. The latest reader comment, "Lover boy is looking fiine\~," reinforces the audience's positive investment, specifically celebrating the appeal of Noah. This confirms the successful transition of Noah and Jaein from a secondary pairing to the manga's new, beloved central focus, with their storyline now driving the narrative forward.
