### Summary
The current chapter sparks overwhelming reader frustration with Dabi, who is perceived as taking a significant step backward in her character development. The conflict ignites when Dabi learns Jeongheon may be leaving the company. Instead of seeking clarification, she immediately assumes he is being deceitful and confronts him without allowing him to explain, a reaction many readers note is a direct repeat of her communication failures from ten years prior. Her decision to take off the earrings Jeongheon gave her—a symbol of their recent progress—is seen as a particularly infuriating and dramatic act of rejection. The vast majority of the audience labels Dabi as selfish, childish, and immature, arguing that Jeongheon was not obligated to disclose a potential job change, especially since they are not officially a couple. Many readers speculate that Jeongheon was likely leaving the company \*for\* her, in order to remove the workplace obstacle she was hesitant about, which makes her hostile assumption all the more galling. While a few readers acknowledge that Dabi's reaction is a plausible trigger response stemming from past relationship trauma, most contend it does not excuse her behavior. Overall, the chapter is defined by this communication breakdown, with readers decrying the use of a predictable miscommunication trope and Dabi's failure to mature.
