### Summary
Following the emotionally heavy Summer Arc that explored the aftermath of Hamin Lee’s suicide, the narrative has shifted to the Fall Arc, focusing on the budding romance between Gaeul Jin and Subin Kang. The couple has finally shared their first kiss, a moment celebrated by some readers but met with significant criticism from a vocal portion of the audience. This dissent stems from Subin's perceived role as a "dense" and "oblivious" bystander to the severe bullying Gaeul endured from his friend group, which includes Uri Kim. Readers find it difficult to accept Gaeul’s quick forgiveness, citing Subin’s past apathy—such as when he saw her covered in garbage and only commented on the smell—as unforgivable. The comments reveal a deep, personal connection to Gaeul's trauma, with many sharing their own painful experiences of being bullied and expressing that Subin’s continued association with her tormentors makes him an enabler and a constant reminder of her past suffering. While some view Subin as an "adorable gentleman," the prevailing sentiment questions the relationship's foundation, arguing that the romantic resolution feels rushed and overlooks the unresolved social conflict and the profound, lasting impact of Gaeul's emotional wounds.
