## Chapter
- number: 5
- release_date: 2025-03-10

### Summary
The recent chapter resolves the shocking engagement cliffhanger by revealing it was the culmination of a massive, four-year-long misunderstanding. The core of the conflict stemmed from Lee An's "selective hearing"; years prior, upon hearing news about Gunwoo, he became so emotionally overwhelmed that he mentally "shut his ears" and completely missed Gunwoo accepting what he interpreted as Lee An's proposal. This led to a comically tragic situation where Lee An spent four years believing his love was unrequited, while Gunwoo believed he was engaged but being ignored by his fiancé. It is now clear that Gunwoo's recent divorce was the final step in a long-term plan, having endured a strategic, loveless marriage to get his affairs in order to finally be with Lee An. The fandom has reacted with overwhelming amusement to this "dumb" and "silly" twist, affectionately labeling the protagonists "idiots," "dorks," and "dumbasses." While some find the miscommunication forced, the consensus is that its absurdity is a perfect fit for the characters' established dynamic, cementing the series' reputation as a hilarious "misunderstanding speedrun" that successfully blends explicit content with wholesome, goofy comedy.
