## Chapter
- number: 21
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The central mission for Haneul and Dahae to save their siblings from a future tragedy is currently stalled by the frustrating subplot of Haneul's fake relationship with Hyeshin. Dahae's insistence that he maintain this relationship to avoid altering the timeline is a source of significant reader criticism, viewed as a naive decision that complicates their primary goal. However, the current chapter has introduced a pivotal flashback, revealing a new layer to the protagonists' history. Reader commentary indicates a strong consensus that Dahae had unrealized romantic feelings for Haneul during their original high school timeline, which manifested as antagonism. This revelation has re-framed their past animosity as a tragic misunderstanding, creating a sense of angst among the audience. While the popular theory that the siblings' death was an intentional act by a stalker persists, this new development has led to speculation that the time travel may also be for Haneul and Dahae's own second chance, not just their siblings'. The focus has now shifted from the Hyeshin conflict to the painful history between the main couple.
