### Summary
The chapter centers on a significant romantic gesture from Jeongheon, who presents Dabi with a pair of expensive earrings. The scene is depicted as highly intimate and sensual, highlighted by a moment where Jeongheon licks Dabi's ear, which readers found overwhelmingly "hot" and a surprising turn-on. The gift carries an ultimatum: Jeongheon asks Dabi to wear the earrings to work on Monday as a non-verbal confirmation of her desire to commit to their relationship. This leaves Dabi in a state of indecision, as she continues to struggle with her trauma from a past workplace romance and the fear of office gossip. Readers express immense frustration with her hesitation, viewing Jeongheon as a perfect, "precious" partner who doesn't deserve to be left in suspense. This frustration is compounded by a widespread fan theory that the plot is heading towards a clichéd misunderstanding, with many predicting that Dabi will inevitably lose the earrings, causing Jeongheon to believe he has been rejected and creating unnecessary drama.
