### Summary
Following the tension from the previous chapter where Maehwa Yang deliberately excluded Jaewon Myeong from a group project, the narrative now reveals the painful reasoning behind Maehwa's coldness. The central event involves Jaewon secretly eavesdropping on a conversation where Maehwa explains his distant behavior. Instead of being malicious, Maehwa's justification is a form of self-deprecation rooted in his goal of moving on from his unrequited love. He reasons that Jaewon is naturally kind and friendly to everyone, so his attention is not "special," a defense mechanism to prevent himself from getting his hopes up. This act of emotional self-preservation, consistent with his "Tsundere cat" disposition, is perceived by readers as a deeply sad and relatable moment that hurts both characters. The incident starkly illustrates the manga's core push-and-pull conflict: as Maehwa actively tries to build walls to protect his heart, Jaewon’s attempts to get closer force confrontations that are emotionally damaging, directly challenging Maehwa's pursuit of a "paradise" free from heartbreak.
