### Summary
Following a disastrous group project that has jeopardized her scholarship and fractured her friendship with Bora Jang, protagonist Hong Seol is pushed to a breaking point by overwhelming academic, financial, and social pressure. In this state of profound isolation, the enigmatic senior Yoo Jung re-emerges, displaying what readers interpret as sincere, if clumsy, concern for her well-being. This interaction deepens the manhwa's central psychological tension, as Seol’s justifiable suspicion—rooted in Jung's past manipulative behavior and the hostile campus environment he seems to orchestrate—clashes with his current considerate actions. While Jung’s true intentions remain a mystery, his behavior is perceived as that of a socially awkward individual unaccustomed to pursuing someone, especially a perceptive and traumatized target like Seol. The chapter highlights the series' acclaimed use of non-verbal communication and ambiguous characterization, leaving both Seol and the audience to question whether Jung's "dark aura" hides a genuine protector or a more insidious manipulator, further entangling Seol in a captivating and unnerving relationship.
