### Summary
Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger where Jae-won suggested they "do something naughty," the narrative reveals that the primary obstacle to the relationship's progression is Mae-hwa's own internal conflict. Acting as his own "cockblocker," Mae-hwa rejects Jae-won's advance, not out of a lack of feeling, but due to profound trust issues and an overwhelming fear of a potential breakup destroying their friendship. Conditioned by years of unrequited love, he struggles to accept Jae-won's intentions as genuine and overthinks the consequences before a relationship can even start. The chapter highlights the story's strength in mature communication, as Mae-hwa successfully articulates his anxieties. This emotional standoff culminates in a pivotal, contradictory moment where Mae-hwa, despite verbally refusing to date, sensually kisses Jae-won's hand, betraying his deep-seated affection. The dynamic remains a cautious courtship, defined by Mae-hwa’s significant emotional walls—which readers speculate may stem from parental neglect or abandonment issues—and Jae-won's considerate patience in the face of rejection.
