### Summary
Reader adoration for the high school version of Jiho has reached a new peak, with comments overwhelmingly describing him as "cute," "adorable," and "precious." A key panel depicting Jiho with literal "heart eyes" or "heart pupils" has captivated the audience, seen as undeniable proof of how "love struck" he is by Gaon. This sweet moment has intensified speculation about the original timeline, where Jiho's future dislike of women is believed to stem from a painful high school rejection. Readers theorize this was a misunderstanding; a popular idea is that Jiho mistakenly confessed to a bullied classmate named Dohwa, who resembles Gaon, or that Gaon was simply oblivious to his feelings and unintentionally brushed him off. While some criticize this backstory as "petty" or "typical," most are charmed by his current shy-yet-bold personality and prefer it to his future self. The chapter also provided a surprising reveal that Gaon has a sister, correcting a common reader misconception that the sibling was a brother. Amidst the romantic developments, speculation about Sera's potential past manipulation of Gaon and Jiho's relationship persists in the background.
