### Summary
The narrative has plunged back into a severe communication crisis, directly stemming from the previous chapter's controversial non-consensual encounter. The immediate conflict now centers on a misunderstanding over the couple's ring, which Juwon removed. Consumed by guilt from his recent actions, as well as jealousy and possessiveness, Jeong-min interprets the missing ring as a sign of shame or rejection, causing him to become sullen and avoidant. Juwon remains oblivious to the true source of tension; he senses his partner's distress but fails to connect it to either the ring or the assault, which he continues to misremember as a dream. This dynamic marks a significant regression for the couple, throwing them back into the familiar, destructive cycle of miscommunication that defined their early relationship and which they had seemingly overcome. Reader commentary reflects widespread frustration with this return to old patterns, viewing it as a step backward for character development. The unresolved non-consensual act remains a major point of contention, creating a deep internal crisis for the relationship and fueling intense debate among the fanbase.
