## Chapter
- number: 23
- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
The chapter details the intense confrontation between Da-im and her ex-boyfriend, Tae Bum. Reader reactions reveal that Tae Bum attempts to manipulate and gaslight Da-im, refusing to accept the breakup with lines like, "How can you end this relationship by yourself?" and trying to guilt-trip her. The audience overwhelmingly condemns him as "trash," a "stalker," and an egotistical "asshole," with many commentators finding his dialogue disturbingly similar to their own toxic past relationships. In contrast, Da-im is lauded as a "badass," rational, and well-written female lead for her firm and cool-headed rejection of his behavior. A significant new plot point emerges, hinting at a future alliance between Da-im and Tae Bum's fiancée, Jua, a development that readers enthusiastically support. Concurrently, anxiety builds around a major subplot: On-gyum's continued secrecy about his online identity as "NeroNero." Readers express growing concern that this deception will inevitably lead to a crisis of trust, especially given Da-im's experience with Tae Bum's dishonesty, and they are urging On-gyum to confess before she discovers the lie on her own.
