### Summary
Reader frustration with the central love triangle has intensified following Bareum's recent decision to prioritize a date with her crush, Jaehyun, over a valuable career networking opportunity. This choice is widely viewed by the audience as immature and shortsighted, further highlighting her inability to recognize Jaehyun's persistent mixed signals. In a significant and well-received development, the male lead, Yuyeon, is finally showing self-respect by altering his approach. After being consistently sidelined, he has begun to pull back, a change in dynamic that has caught Bareum off guard and is being interpreted by readers as a form of "reverse psychology." Despite this praised character progression for Yuyeon, a strong sense of foreboding permeates the audience's reaction. Many comments express a feeling that the current relative calm is deceptive and that a dramatic conflict or heartbreak is imminent, undercutting the manhwa's "cute and fluffy" reputation with a sustained feeling of awkwardness and pain.
