### Summary
The cautious courtship between Mae-hwa and Jae-won escalates into a new phase of comedic tension and heightened self-awareness. The chapter's central conflict revolves around a significant cultural misunderstanding: Mae-hwa innocently invites Jae-won to his dorm for ramen, unaware that the phrase "ramyeon meog-eullae?" is a popular Korean euphemism for a sexual invitation. Jae-won, who has become increasingly conscious of his feelings and is afraid of "not being able to hold back," interprets the offer as such and hesitates to go inside, creating an awkward yet endearing impasse. This moment highlights the shift in their dynamic, as Jae-won is now the one who is flustered and overthinking, while the typically pouting Mae-hwa remains oblivious. The romantic tension is further complicated by the introduction of a female senior, Seung-a, who expresses interest in Mae-hwa. This prompts a smooth, protective intervention from Jae-won, who pulls Mae-hwa away from her, signaling a new layer of potential external conflict and jealousy that complements the couple's internal awkwardness.
