### Summary
Based on the provided data, the current chapter escalates the psychological conflict introduced by the previous cliffhanger involving Han's Shinwoo-lookalike ex-boyfriend. In response to the encounter, Han adopts a deliberately nonchalant and dismissive demeanor towards his ex. Reader commentary reveals this action is widely interpreted as a clumsy attempt to reassure Shinwoo, but it backfires catastrophically. Instead of feeling secure, Shinwoo projects Han's behavior onto their own future, interpreting his dismissiveness as a terrifying preview of how he, too, will be discarded. This triggers a severe relapse of Shinwoo's deep-seated abandonment trauma and insecurities, validating the very fears that were causing him to contemplate a breakup. The incident confirms for readers that Han has a history of dating Shinwoo substitutes, adding a disturbing layer to his past obsession. Reader sentiment is sharply divided: while many empathize with Shinwoo's trauma-driven anxiety, others are frustrated by his insecurity. Similarly, Han is viewed by some as a manipulative red flag and by others as a flawed partner trying to manage a difficult situation. Ultimately, the chapter shatters the couple's fragile domestic peace, plunging them back into intense psychological turmoil that threatens to derail their relationship.
