### Summary
The central push-and-pull dynamic between Mae-hwa and Jae-won has evolved into a significant misunderstanding, fueling the narrative's slow-burn tension. Readers overwhelmingly interpret Mae-hwa's pouting, "tsundere cat" demeanor as jealousy, finding it amusing that he is jealous of the person Jae-won plans to confess to, without realizing it is himself. This internal conflict directly challenges Mae-hwa's goal of finding a "paradise" free from his unrequited love, as he is now actively bothered by Jae-won's affections for a supposed rival. Jae-won, meanwhile, continues his "smitten golden retriever" pursuit, which only deepens Mae-hwa's misconception. Amidst this drama, the side character Guk Dal has emerged as a fan-favorite, perceived as the handsome, observant friend who is comically exasperated by the main duo's lack of communication. While readers remain invested in the cute interactions, their frustration with the pacing is palpable, with many urging the characters to confess directly. The emotional stakes are now heightened by this dramatic irony, leaving Mae-hwa to grapple with jealousy while Jae-won's intentions remain just out of reach.
