### Summary
Building upon the previous chapter's emotional breakthrough, the narrative has progressed into a deeply intimate and physical stage, cementing the couple's new status. The current chapter is defined by a highly anticipated, consensual sexual encounter, which readers celebrate as a realistic and tender milestone. This moment solidifies the complete reversal of Yeonu's initial perception; once viewed with suspicion, he is now overwhelmingly praised by the readership as the "greenest flag," with many commentators expressing regret for ever doubting his intentions. The couple's dynamic is lauded as aspirational and precious, with a specific term of endearment, "Little baby," resonating powerfully as a symbol of their gentle affection. While the mood is overwhelmingly positive, a minor, recurring point of humorous anxiety among readers is the timing of this intimacy, occurring the night before Gyu-yeong has an important exam.
