### Summary
Following Dojin's direct and romantic confession, this chapter focuses on Ji Ho's (Mr. J) surprising and complex response. Instead of a simple acceptance or rejection, Ji Ho declares, "I don't like you," a statement that has been overwhelmingly interpreted by readers as a blatant lie. This assertion has caused significant reader frustration, as many recall previous chapters where Ji Ho explicitly admitted his feelings for Dojin in conversations with a character named Sungyun. The perceived contradiction has led to accusations that Ji Ho is playing with Dojin's emotions and creating an unnecessary cliché. However, Ji Ho's response is not a definitive rejection. He instead challenges Dojin to "woo me" and "Try winning my heart," effectively initiating a courtship or "chasing arc." This development has divided the audience; while some are angered by Ji Ho's perceived dishonesty, others rationalize his actions as a defense mechanism stemming from past trauma, suggesting he needs to see Dojin's commitment before reciprocating. A notable portion of readers praised the scene for its "healthy" and direct communication, where both characters respectfully addressed their fears and positions. The chapter also features a well-liked comedic side character, referred to as an uncle or realtor, and continues the series' trend of breaking the fourth wall.
