### Summary
The relationship between Dohee and Joonwon has officially fractured, confirming reader speculation of a "break up snu-snu" wherein Dohee initiated an intimate encounter before definitively leaving him. The catalyst for the split is the central, recurring conflict: Dohee’s profound need for verbal affirmation clashes with Joonwon's trauma-induced inability to say "I love you." Having already shared her own traumatic past, Dohee perceives his emotional reticence not as a psychological block but as a lack of genuine feeling, prompting her to end things to avoid what she sees as a loveless future reminiscent of her mother's. This development has sharply divided the readership. Many sympathize with Dohee, validating her need for emotional security and criticizing Joonwon for failing to reciprocate her vulnerability and communicate his own issues. Conversely, a significant portion of readers defend Joonwon, arguing his actions have consistently proven his love and that Dohee is unfairly demanding he instantly overcome decades of trauma. This camp views Dohee's actions as hypocritical and cruel, highlighting that she has controlled the relationship's pace and is now running away from a problem she knew existed. The overarching sentiment is one of intense frustration, with most acknowledging that both characters are at fault, trapped in a painful, angsty cycle of miscommunication fueled by their respective pasts.
