### Summary
The chapter marks a significant shift in focus from the main couple's burgeoning intimacy to the introduction of external antagonists, eliciting overwhelmingly negative reactions from the readership. A "childhood friend" or second male lead, identified as Kang, is the primary source of frustration, with readers lambasting him as "pathetic," "annoying," and an "unnecessary nuisance" for being possessive and overbearing despite never confessing his feelings. The consensus is that he is crossing a line and should simply be rejected to move the plot forward. This sentiment is amplified by the simultaneous introduction of a new female rival, a "blonde girl" who is immediately dismissed as a stereotypical "bully" and an unwelcome "road block" for the protagonists. Amidst the frustration with these new conflicts, which appear to be set during a school reunion or flashback arc, readers highlight Dohee's continued character development. A key observation is her evolving perspective on relationships, noting that she has gone from finding couple updates "icky" to now waiting for a message from Joonwon, a clear sign of her growing feelings. Ultimately, despite the new drama, anticipation for the main couple remains high, with readers eagerly awaiting Joonwon's arrival to support Dohee and the chapter ending on a particularly frustrating cliffhanger.
