### Summary
This chapter significantly escalates the intimacy between Jinhyuk and Heechan, culminating in Heechan's invitation for Jinhyuk to come to his house for ramen. This moment is widely interpreted by readers as a direct reference to the Korean cultural trope "Ramyeon meokgo gallae?", the equivalent of "Netflix and chill," marking a pivotal step in their slow-burn relationship. The invitation follows a discussion about one of Heechan's director-father's films, where readers noted that Heechan's traumatic upbringing may have given him a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the movie's themes than the more sheltered Jinhyuk. While many fans are excited by this romantic progress and appreciate the realistic, awkward dynamic, characterized by their "flat" and "emotionless" expressions, a significant moral conflict continues to overshadow these developments. A vocal portion of the audience remains unable to support Heechan due to his unresolved complicity in the bullying of Young-ho. These readers express frustration that the serious issue is being sidelined for "cute moments" and demand that the narrative provide accountability for his past actions before his relationship with Jinhyuk can be fully embraced.
