### Summary
The narrative continues to grapple with the fallout from the newly introduced relationship contract, a development that has soured reader opinion on Dohee. Previously viewed as a principled protagonist, she is now heavily criticized for what is perceived as a self-sabotaging and immature move that undermines the couple's developing intimacy. This contractual framework immediately creates a new point of tension with the discovery of a scrunchie, implying another woman’s presence and setting up what one reader calls a "bimbo room." The incident highlights the contract's core failure as a communication tool; readers argue that Dohee has forfeited her right to question Joonwon, even though they increasingly perceive him as an honest "green flag" who is simply emotionally stunted by trauma. This self-imposed conflict runs parallel to ongoing family drama, with external pressure mounting from Joonwon's father, who pushes for marriage. The audience's frustration is directed at the authors' reliance on a clichéd trope, which has shifted the central conflict from a complex emotional dynamic to a contrived, transactional barrier.
