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

## Chapter
- number: 24
- release_date: 2025-03-09

### Summary
This chapter focuses on the resolution of a potential conflict and the deepening of the main couple's intimacy. A significant plot point involves one of the characters directly addressing gossip, a move widely praised by readers for demonstrating healthy communication and preventing future misunderstandings. With this tension diffused, the narrative leans heavily into "fluffy" and intimate moments, particularly the couple's "shameless" and bold flirting in a public setting. Readers are captivated by scenes of them playing "footsies" and touching legs under a table, finding the secret intimacy both cute and heart-pounding. This development highlights a shift in their dynamic, with many readers pointing to the "he fell first, but he fell harder" trope, suggesting Yeonu is now deeply infatuated and spoiling Gyu-yeong, who has in turn become more confident. This progression is symbolically reinforced by a meta-detail that fans have noticed: the manga's title card now features the phrase "don't get my hopes up" crossed out, signifying the official transition from a one-sided crush to a reciprocated relationship.
