### Summary
After a prolonged period of narrative detours and reader fatigue, the story delivers a monumental and cathartic payoff with Se-i and Jaeha’s long-awaited first kiss. The fan reaction, dominated by ecstatic shouts of "FINALLY," confirms this event resolves the significant romantic tension built over dozens of chapters. This moment directly follows the previous chapter's setup, where Se-i began contemplating a more intimate relationship, and serves as a swift, ironic counterpoint to her mother’s mistaken belief that they are "diligent kids who wouldn't fool around." Readers overwhelmingly celebrated the execution of the scene, repeatedly highlighting the romantic detail of Jaeha’s gaze shifting from Se-i’s eyes to her lips just before the kiss. While the majority of fans were swept up in the moment, celebrating Se-i’s proactive communication and role in the advance, a minority opinion noted her dialogue felt slightly "conniving." Despite a lingering interest in a developing subplot involving Jimin and Ye-eun, the chapter’s singular focus on this romantic milestone has overwhelmingly satisfied the core audience, who have been waiting for this progression since the couple's alliance began.
