### Summary
Following the events of the previous chapter, the narrative focuses on the awkward but humorous interaction between Bareum Jung and her initial crush, Jaehyun Shin. The encounter quickly sours Jaehyun's appeal when he makes a clumsy attempt at a compliment, comparing a star-struck Bareum to a "mouth-breathing dog." This moment, perceived by readers as both hilarious and a misstep for his character, serves to further undermine his position within the central love triangle. The potential for misunderstanding is amplified as both Bareum and her role model, Ahreum Gu, separately ask Jaehyun for his opinion of the other, creating a complicated web of crossed signals. Amidst the comedic developments, the chapter carries forward the significant dramatic tension from a previous arc, as readers express frustration over Bareum’s continued failure to tell her best friend, Doeun Kang, the truth about her boyfriend, leaving a major conflict unresolved.
