### Summary
Following the introduction of Minsoo as a new external threat, the narrative shifts focus back to the internal, psychological tension of Seol Hong and Jung Yu's fragile new relationship. Despite officially becoming a couple, a significant emotional "wall" persists between them, leaving Seol feeling "close yet still so far away." This distance stems from her own internal conflict; her observant and overthinking nature makes it difficult to reconcile her genuine feelings for Jung with the deep-seated distrust born from his past manipulations. She finds herself in a constant battle with her own thoughts, questioning whether her sensitivity is to blame for her inability to fully embrace the relationship. This realistic portrayal of anxiety and emotional complexity resonates with readers, who see Seol's struggle to trust—feeling confident in her affection but scared to move forward—as a deeply human and relatable experience. The core conflict has evolved from navigating Jung's ambiguous actions to Seol's personal battle to trust the man who is both her protector and the original architect of her trauma.
