### Summary
The cautious courtship between the tsundere Mae-hwa Yang and the patient Jae-won Myeong is now tested by both external and narrative pressures. The recent introduction of Seung-A, a classmate with a crush on Mae-hwa, has escalated into a more concerning conflict, as reader comments reveal she has begun taking photographs of him without his permission. This act adds a new layer of complication to the central "push and pull" romance, which continues to frustrate an audience eager for the couple to become official. Concurrently, the manga's storytelling itself has become a point of contention. Readers express significant confusion in following the plot, citing unconventional stylistic choices, such as black backgrounds and speech balloons, that obscure the timeline and make it difficult to distinguish between present action and flashbacks. This narrative ambiguity has led to readers misidentifying characters and struggling to comprehend dialogue and situations. Amidst audience concerns over the series' low engagement and a lingering suspicion that an unnamed male character is being deceptive, the story's core romantic tension is now compounded by a confusing presentation that is actively hindering the reading experience.
