### Summary
The narrative has shifted its focus entirely onto Shinwoo's internal psychological struggles, creating a palpable tension centered on his profound inability to communicate. While Han is portrayed as a mature and understanding partner actively trying to connect, Shinwoo continues to build emotional walls as a defense mechanism against his trauma-induced fear of abandonment. This dynamic is a source of intense reader frustration, with many finding his self-sabotaging behavior annoying and stubborn, yet simultaneously expressing deep empathy for the psychological pain driving it. A significant new plot point has amplified audience anxiety: in a desperate attempt to sever ties with his past, Shinwoo has carelessly signed a contract presented by his ex-boyfriend without reading the terms. This reckless act has sparked widespread speculation that he has been scammed or trapped in an unfavorable agreement that will inevitably backfire. The overwhelming sentiment from the audience is a desperate plea for Shinwoo to be honest, break down his walls, and finally place his trust in Han, as the central conflict now hinges on whether he can overcome his own ingrained defense mechanisms.
