### Summary
The narrative continues to center on the stalled relationship between Dohee and Joonwon, which has regressed into a frustrating "push and pull" dynamic. Following Joonwon's emotionally clumsy confession of his feelings, coupled with his inability to commit due to unresolved trauma, their progress has halted, leaving them in a familiar state of tension. This ongoing stalemate is now complicated by the introduction of a new love triangle. A male friend of Dohee's, Eeyeon, has begun acting like a suitor, a development that has sharply divided the audience. Some readers perceive him as a sweet, "green flag" second male lead and pity his inevitable heartbreak, while others find his advances "creepy" or "annoying," noting that Dohee's use of "dude" clearly places him in the friendzone. The emergence of this common romance trope has exacerbated some readers' impatience with the main couple's circular dynamic. The ongoing frustration with Joonwon's emotional unavailability has even led a faction of the audience to prefer this new, albeit polarizing, alternative, further highlighting the central conflict's test on reader patience.
