### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from a love triangle into a direct "enemies to lovers" arc between rivals Seol Jaeha and Kim Doyoung, sidelining Jaeha's childhood friend, Lee Hyun. Following a tense confrontation that readers eagerly interpreted as a jealousy-fueled confession, anticipation was high for a romantic development. Jaeha's declaration, "it bothers me that you like Hyun," was expected to be a turning point. However, the current chapter reveals a significant and painful misunderstanding. Instead of recognizing Jaeha's burgeoning feelings for him, Doyoung completely misreads the situation. He interprets the statement as a confession of Jaeha's decade-long, unrequited love for Hyun, believing Jaeha is finally admitting how difficult it was to hide his feelings. Consequently, Doyoung's response is one of pity and sympathy, unintentionally breaking Jaeha's heart. Reader reactions reflect the tragicomic nature of the event, expressing a mix of pain, secondhand embarrassment, and humor, with many finding the failed confession deeply relatable. The hoped-for romantic breakthrough has instead reinforced the cycle of miscommunication between the two, leaving Jaeha's affections completely unrecognized.
