### Summary
Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger, Jeongheon delivers a heartbreaking explanation for abandoning their college date: a sudden family tragedy, after which he kept his broken phone for a decade, hoping she would call. This emotional revelation quickly pivots to a hilarious battle of wills as Dabi, emboldened by their new intimacy, repeatedly tries to lure the socially oblivious Jeongheon to her apartment. Her increasingly unsubtle hints are met with a series of comically literal rejections, with their dynamic visualized as a soccer match where Dabi desperately tries to score. Readers were left both frustrated and amused by Jeongheon's impenetrable denseness, but Dabi's persistence ultimately pays off, breaking through his defenses and setting the stage for a much more intimate "training session."
