- slug: dont-build-my-hopes-up-f02e21

## Chapter
- number: 20
- release_date: 2025-03-09

### Summary
The chapter builds to a climactic moment of intense anticipation, as readers overwhelmingly believe a long-awaited confession is imminent. Following his "general love for humanity" denial in the previous chapter, Yeonu's true feelings now manifest in an undeniable blush, which readers mockingly contrast with his earlier rationalization. This emotional breakthrough appears to be spurred by the actions of a new, universally disliked character named Sera, who is described as "shameless," "creepy," and "clingy" for making advances despite having a boyfriend. Her interference seems to act as the final catalyst, pushing one of the protagonists to "go get your man." Meanwhile, a supporting character referred to as "glasses hyung" or Junmyeong is viewed positively as a good friend who unintentionally helps the central relationship develop. The narrative avoids a potential misunderstanding trope involving a letter, heightening the sense that the slow-burn romance is finally progressing, leaving the audience ecstatic and eagerly awaiting the confession.
