### Summary
Following their intimate night together, the chapter centers on a pivotal and painful misunderstanding initiated by Dabi. When Jeongheon attempts to speak the morning after, likely to confess his feelings, Dabi cuts him off. Fearing he will bring up the "other woman" from their deal and dismiss their night as mere "practice," she preemptively frames their encounter as a meaningless, casual act that should be forgotten. This deeply wounds Jeongheon, who, according to reader observations, looks utterly gutted before quickly dressing and leaving. The event solidifies the dramatic irony of the arc, with Dabi sabotaging her own happiness by refusing to listen. Reader reactions are overwhelmingly frustrated with Dabi, calling her an idiot and an asshole for her assumptions and for hurting Jeongheon, especially since it was his first time. While most readers condemn her for creating forced drama, a few defend her actions as an understandable, albeit flawed, defense mechanism stemming from past relationship trauma and Jeongheon's initial lie. The chapter ends by escalating the angst between the two, with their relationship now strained by this new, significant miscommunication.
