## Chapter
- number: 44
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The narrative's focus has decisively shifted to the imminent threat posed by Mirim's boyfriend, Sejoon, with reader consensus solidifying around his identity as the stalker. His obsessive behavior, highlighted by incessant phone calls to Mirim at work, is seen as "creepy" and "stalker-coded," cementing him as the primary antagonist and the likely culprit behind the original timeline's tragedy. While this external threat escalates, the central protagonists, Haneul and Dahae, remain mired in their own relational turmoil. Despite moments readers find "cute," their dynamic is fraught with frustration over unresolved conflicts, and Haneul faces criticism for repeatedly making mistakes without proper atonement. In a direct contradiction to their time-travel mission, audience sentiment has ironically swung in favor of the protagonists' siblings, Taegang and Mirim, getting together. Their shared social awkwardness is perceived as endearing, and readers are now actively rooting for the very relationship Haneul and Dahae are trying to prevent, complicating the original objective and highlighting the failure of their plan.
