### Summary
After a brief respite of romantic comedy, the narrative pivots sharply back to external drama with the simultaneous return of both protagonists' toxic exes. Da-im’s obsessive ex, Tae-bum, continues his malicious campaign to ruin On-gyum, with readers inferring his latest plot involves sabotaging a television drama filming opportunity at the flower cafe. This external threat is amplified by the re-emergence of On-gyum's own traumatic ex-girlfriend, who appears to be connected to the same production, setting the stage for a direct and painful confrontation. Compounding these issues is a new source of internal conflict, as On-gyum follows the misguided advice of Da-im's younger brother to avoid discussing past relationships. This creates a frustrating miscommunication trope, preventing On-gyum from confiding in Da-im about his past trauma at the very moment it becomes relevant. Reader sentiment is overwhelmingly one of annoyance with the antagonists and this forced drama, expressing a strong desire for the couple to communicate openly and overcome the converging threats together.
