### Summary
The narrative continues to focus on Seol Jaeha's abrupt emotional pivot from his decade-long crush on Lee Hyun to his rival, Kim Doyoung. This rapid change remains a central point of discussion, with many readers defending the pacing as a realistic and relatable aspect of teenage romance. Fans rationalize that Jaeha's feelings for Hyun were more of a familiar, unrequited "puppy love" or deep admiration rather than a mature romantic love, making his swift transfer of affection to Doyoung more believable. This perspective is bolstered by personal anecdotes from readers who have experienced similar sudden shifts in their own crushes. Jaeha's character is overwhelmingly perceived as "cute" and "adorable," frequently likened to a "golden retriever," an image reinforced by scenes of him blushing and flashbacks to his childhood. Concurrently, as support for Jaeha's new romantic direction grows, perception of Lee Hyun has soured, with some readers now viewing him as a "jerk" and warning he is "on thin ice." The story has effectively solidified its transition from a love triangle to a direct "enemies to lovers" dynamic, sidelining Hyun and leaving the audience to speculate on how Doyoung will react to Jaeha's change of heart.
