### Summary
The dynamic between Lee Soohyun and Jung Eunsung has fully evolved from a destructive, obsessive rivalry into a stable and affectionate domestic partnership. Following their fraught collaboration to defeat their shared antagonist, Park Moon Seob, the couple's interactions are now defined by mutual care and overt physical closeness, a development readers find overwhelmingly endearing. The current narrative highlights Soohyun's profound emotional obliviousness; he exhibits clear signs of attachment and "separation anxiety," even seeking comfort in Eunsung's bed, yet consciously searches for a new "reason" to remain by Eunsung's side beyond their shared mission. This denial is a major source of reader frustration, with many demanding he simply confess his obvious love. Concurrently, the plot concerning Park Moon Seob's final ruin continues, with readers expressing impatience for his ultimate defeat, a desire intensified by the suffering of his other victim, Lee Shinhae. The audience is thus caught between savoring the couple's tender domesticity and eagerly awaiting the dual climax of the antagonist's downfall and the main couple's long-overdue romantic confession.
