### Summary
Reader discussion has shifted from debating Haneul's character to critiquing the protagonists' core strategy. Haneul's apology to Dahae was a pivotal moment, largely satisfying readers who were angered by his past actions and solidifying support for their developing "enemies-to-lovers" dynamic. However, the central focus is now on the perceived overcomplication of their plan to keep their siblings apart for eight years. A consensus is forming that simpler solutions exist, with many readers repeatedly suggesting Haneul and Dahae should just fake a relationship to make their siblings' romance socially awkward, or alternatively, focus solely on preventing the fatal car accident on the wedding day itself. Amidst this strategic debate, a significant new theory has emerged concerning a "creepy sunbae." Readers speculate this character may also be a time traveler who is actively altering the past, pointing to the fact that Dahae's sister was prevented from visiting a bookstore as an initial change that occurred before the protagonists' main interference. This has led to fears of the butterfly effect, with some worrying that by saving their siblings from one fate, they may inadvertently expose them to a new danger from this potential antagonist.
