### Summary
The current chapter deepens the painful miscommunication between the protagonists, with reader frustration now aimed squarely at Namu. Commentary reveals that Namu has escalated his interference by actively blaming Hoon for Haedam's emotional distress, a move that has solidified his role as a manipulative antagonist in the eyes of the audience. Haedam remains withdrawn, expressing his fear of being alone to Namu while continuing to avoid Hoon, a self-sabotaging behavior that readers understand as a trauma response but are increasingly impatient with. Meanwhile, Hoon appears to have had a moment of crucial realization, prompting an outcry from readers for him to actively pursue Haedam and correct the misunderstanding. The overwhelming sentiment is one of intense angst and anger, with readers lamenting the painful drama and expressing a desperate desire for the main couple to finally communicate and reconcile.
