### Summary
The cycle of miscommunication escalates as Seo Yian, convinced Yoo Jekwon's interest is rooted in responsibility rather than genuine affection, directly confronts the Alpha. In a bold attempt to protect himself from further heartbreak, Yian declares their dynamic a "one-sided" love and announces his intention to stop his feelings, effectively ending their ambiguous affair. This pivotal moment offers Jekwon a clear opportunity to confess, but his emotional immaturity and burgeoning jealousy cause him to fumble spectacularly. Instead of reciprocating, he deflects, interrogating Yian about his relationship with the rival doctor. This reaction serves only to validate Yian's insecurities and solidify the misunderstanding between them. The confrontation leaves their relationship in a painful stalemate; Yian is actively trying to create emotional distance, while Jekwon, incapable of articulating his true feelings, resorts to possessive actions that only drive Yian further away. This frustrating development has exhausted readers, who are overwhelmingly critical of Jekwon's failure to simply admit he likes Yian back after dozens of chapters of angst.
