### Summary
The relationship between Dohee and Joonwon has devolved from a frustrating communication breakdown into a life-threatening crisis. Following Joonwon's recent private admission that labeling their relationship is "too much for him," Dohee has attempted to establish firm boundaries, which he continues to blur with mixed signals. This emotional stalemate is violently interrupted when a new physical threat emerges, as Dohee is targeted by a stalker. Joonwon witnesses the danger but, in a widely criticized move, fails to warn her directly. Instead, he makes a vague offer to drive her home, which Dohee predictably rejects given their recent conflict. His failure to communicate clearly culminates in the chapter's climax: Dohee is cornered in a vulnerable and dangerous situation, with Joonwon positioned to intervene in a crisis he arguably could have prevented. The narrative intensifies this peril by revealing a new layer of Dohee's trauma—an abusive father. This development has amplified reader frustration, framing the couple's signature "push and pull" dynamic as no longer just emotionally exhausting, but physically perilous due to Joonwon's inability to express himself.
