### Summary
Building on the previous chapter's emotional breakthrough, this installment sees Hajun continue his vulnerable confession about his "first love." However, he crucially stops short of explicitly telling Shihyeon that he is the boy from his past, a narrative choice that has left readers deeply frustrated and feeling the plot is being unnecessarily prolonged. The conversation is ultimately derailed not by an external threat, but by Shihyeon's own established pattern of emotional avoidance. Instead of using words to reciprocate or seek clarification, Shihyeon initiates a kiss, once again redirecting a moment of difficult emotional accountability into physical intimacy. This pivot from dialogue to sex is the chapter's central point of contention for readers, who overwhelmingly express exasperation that the couple consistently fails to communicate fully with words. While moments of domestic sweetness are appreciated, the core conflict remains unresolved, with the long-awaited reveal of their shared history postponed in favor of a passionate encounter, leaving the audience craving a conclusion to the conversation.
