## Chapter
- number: 9
- release_date: 2025-05-09

### Summary
Reader outrage has intensified, focusing on protagonist Gyujin's decision to meet a new rival, Jaewon, while wearing an outfit specifically chosen by Youngwoon. This act is widely condemned as the ultimate betrayal, escalating perceptions of Gyujin from merely dense to willfully stupid, selfish, and insensitive, particularly since his relationship with Youngwoon has become physical. The new character, Jaewon, is met with overwhelming suspicion; readers label him a "snake" and a "player," finding his smooth demeanor and convenient appearance highly suspect. The prevailing fan theory, carried over from the previous chapter, has solidified: a vast majority of the community believes Jaewon was hired by Gyujin's mother to test the authenticity of his relationship with Youngwoon, as Jaewon perfectly fits the "ideal type" Gyujin previously described to her. While sympathy is almost entirely with the heartbroken Youngwoon, a small minority of readers defends Gyujin, arguing he cannot be expected to read minds and that Youngwoon shares blame for not communicating his feelings directly. Despite the widespread frustration with the main character and the perceived love triangle, some readers admit to finding the new rival physically attractive.
