### Summary
Based on reader commentary, this chapter deepens the central romantic tension while elevating a key supporting character to fan-favorite status. Readers are now convinced that Jaewon has significant, though likely unrealized, feelings for Maehwa, citing his constant staring and preoccupation with him. In response, Maehwa maintains his defensive "poker face," a trait readers find both understandable and highly relatable, sympathizing with his fear of rejection. While the main relationship continues its slow burn, the overwhelming focus of discussion has shifted to Guk Dal, who is widely praised by readers as "hot," "handsome," and "precious," sparking demands for more screen time and side stories. This surge in popularity is accompanied by speculation of a budding romance between Guk Dal and Nan Yeo. Despite the appreciation for the "vibey" friend group, some readers express confusion over the narrative's pacing, specifically mentioning "weird time hops" that make the plot difficult to follow.
