### Summary
The narrative has pivoted decisively as Seol Jaeha abruptly realizes he has developed romantic feelings for his rival, Kim Doyoung. This development is the chapter's central focus, with reader discussion dominated by the rapid pace of this emotional shift. Many fans have commented on how quickly Jaeha's decade-long crush on Lee Hyun has "vanished," sparking a debate over the pacing. While some find it rushed, a significant portion of the audience deems it a relatable and endearing aspect of teenage romance, arguing that one falls faster for the "right person." This moment has solidified Jaeha's perception as an overwhelmingly "cute" and "adorable" character, with many likening him to a "golden retriever." A new fan-favorite observation is that Jaeha's "love language" is buying milk for his crush. Although the new pairing is celebrated, some readers expressed a preference for Doyoung to have fallen in love first and speculate on how he will react to Jaeha's change of heart. This turn of events effectively finalizes Lee Hyun's sidelining from the central romance, cementing the transition from a love triangle to a direct "enemies to lovers" dynamic.
