### Summary
Following the conclusion of the main couple's tumultuous arc, the series has returned with a side story focusing on the relationship between Noah and Leo. The central dynamic is Noah's long-standing, one-sided love for a comically oblivious Leo. The current chapter marks a pivotal moment, as Giovanni directly confronts Leo about his devoted, boyfriend-like behavior, such as flying internationally every week to see Noah. Readers see Giovanni as "playing cupid," successfully forcing Leo into a moment of dawning realization about his own feelings. Fan commentary is dominated by a mix of amusement and frustration at Leo's denseness, celebrating his slow but significant emotional breakthrough. Noah's loyalty is highlighted, particularly in the context of him being the only one present for Leo's birthday, which Giovanni forgot. The overwhelming fan sentiment is one of excitement for this long-awaited "side couple" arc, as they eagerly anticipate Leo finally acknowledging his love for the ever-caring Noah.
