### Summary
The introduction of the new rival, Jaewon, has escalated the central conflict, culminating in a direct confrontation that has readers deeply divided. The prevailing fan theory that Jaewon was hired by Gyujin's mother to test the main couple's relationship has solidified into near-certainty, fueled by a cliffhanger where Jaewon reveals he knows their arrangement is "strictly business." Reader frustration with the protagonist, Gyujin, has reached a boiling point; he is widely condemned as dense, selfish, and fickle for entertaining Jaewon's advances, especially since his relationship with Youngwoon has become physical. However, a significant counter-argument has emerged, defending Gyujin on the grounds that he is operating within the agreed-upon "fake" relationship and cannot be expected to read minds, placing blame on Youngwoon for his failure to communicate his true feelings directly. While sympathy largely remains with the heartbroken Youngwoon, a small but vocal faction now criticizes him for his passivity and jealousy, arguing he had years to confess. Jaewon is almost universally distrusted and labeled a "snake" and an antagonist, though many readers begrudgingly admit he is physically attractive, intensifying the love triangle's tension.
