### Summary
The introduction of a direct romantic rival, identified by readers as Jaewon, has ignited a firestorm of hostile and protective reactions. Aware that he is a "hired conman" working for Gyujin's mother, the audience overwhelmingly demands he "back off" after he confesses his feelings to Gyujin. This external threat has caused a significant shift in reader sentiment. Previously condemned as "dense" and "oblivious," Gyujin is now praised for being decisive and verbally rejecting Jaewon's advance by affirming his commitment to his partner. This act of loyalty is viewed as major character development. Ironically, Jaewon's direct, albeit insincere, confession has amplified the frustration with the central couple's lack of communication. A growing number of readers now argue that Youngwoon shares responsibility for the ongoing misunderstanding, as he has yet to confess his feelings with words. The confrontation has thus reframed the conflict, moving past Gyujin's obliviousness and intensifying the demand for both him and Youngwoon to finally address their true emotions directly.
