### Summary
The narrative has intensified its focus on the re-emerged love triangle, causing significant frustration among readers who feel the male lead, Yuyeon Na, is being deliberately made to suffer. The central conflict of the chapter revolves around Bareum Jung's actions, which lead to Yuyeon feeling "left out" and "constantly turned down" in favor of her initial crush, Jaehyun Shin. This culminates in a painful rejection, compounded by an awkward coincidental meeting that leaves readers feeling secondhand embarrassment. Fan sentiment is overwhelmingly sympathetic and protective toward Yuyeon, with many annoyed by his perceived suffering. While some readers note that the situation may be one where "no one's at fault," the chapter is largely characterized as an uncomfortable "oof" moment. The dynamic has also drawn criticism for failing to develop the friendship between Yuyeon and Jaehyun, whose interactions seem to occur only in relation to Bareum.
