### Summary
The central conflict has intensified around the complete breakdown of communication between Jaerin and Ahn, creating a deeply divisive tension among readers. Ahn continues his self-destructive, possessive behavior, driven by the misunderstanding that Jaerin’s affection is only for his fictional persona, Hwi. Readers analyze this as a necessary crisis, arguing that Ahn has been using "Hwi" as a mask for his genuine feelings, and this painful conflict is forcing him to confront his love for Jaerin without the excuse of "acting." Conversely, Jaerin’s character is facing significant criticism. Her continued obliviousness to Ahn's turmoil is no longer seen as cute, with many readers labeling her as cold-hearted and frustratingly dense. She is faulted for taking Ahn's claims that his affection is "just an act" at face value and for focusing on his physical appearance rather than his emotional state. While the external threat of a new antagonist and his ailing sister looms, the narrative is overwhelmingly dominated by this internal struggle, a painful but essential stalemate that can only be broken when Ahn stops hiding behind his role and Jaerin acknowledges the man beneath the character.
