### Summary
The narrative shifts focus to Shinwoo's own past with the reintroduction of his ex-boyfriend, Jeonghyeon, who uses a business contract over a co-designed chair as a pretext to re-establish contact. This event compounds Shinwoo's spiraling anxiety, which was recently triggered by a devastating warning from Han's ex, Jinseong. Convinced that his relationship with Han is doomed, Shinwoo retreats into a self-sabotaging cycle of emotional withdrawal and avoidance, remaining passive and unresponsive even as Han brings up the topic of marriage. This dynamic is causing significant reader frustration, with many criticizing Shinwoo's "self-loathing insecurities" and his failure to reciprocate Han's efforts to maintain their bond. While some readers find Shinwoo's trauma-induced paralysis relatable, a growing sentiment of exhaustion and impatience is palpable, as his internal conflict creates a one-sided relationship where Han carries the entire emotional weight, leaving their future in a precarious state.
