### Summary
This chapter confirms the previous prediction regarding Mae-hwa Yang's subconscious habits, as he is shown impulsively buying a series of items for Jae-won Myeong, including hand cream, ice cream, socks, and a stuffed octopus plush toy. A significant and humorous twist reveals Mae-hwa is using Jae-won's own money for these purchases, effectively turning Jae-won into a "forced sugar daddy." This development solidifies the reader-identified "one fell first, another fell harder" trope, with many observing that the dynamic has shifted; Jae-won is now the one admiring Mae-hwa, even as both characters remain in denial of their "boyfriend"-like behavior. While the interactions are overwhelmingly described as "cute" and "adorable," a prominent point of criticism is significant reader confusion regarding the narrative's timeline. Many found it difficult to distinguish between present events and flashbacks due to what they perceive as inconsistent artistic cues, such as the use of background colors. Alongside the central relationship's progression, readers also noted the potential for a secondary romance between the characters Guk Dal and Sehyeong Kim.
