### Summary
The central conflict continues to revolve around the severe miscommunication between national swimmer Cheong-ho Yeom and figure skater Yi-rim Dan. Following Cheong-ho's unilateral decision to retire from his career for their family, a pregnant and insecure Yi-rim has run away again, believing he has destroyed the Alpha's dream. This act perpetuates a destructive cycle rooted in their respective traumas, leaving Cheong-ho distraught while supportive characters like his coach try to intervene. The reader base remains deeply polarized over this development, with discussions echoing previous frustrations. Many condemn Yi-rim's repeated flight as an immature and toxic pattern, while others defend it as a psychologically consistent trauma response exacerbated by pregnancy, shifting some blame to Cheong-ho for not communicating his life-altering decision. Amid this ongoing debate and expressed "drama fatigue" with the main couple's repetitive conflict, a significant new focus has emerged within the fandom. Audience excitement has overwhelmingly shifted towards the potential romance between side characters Juho and Woojin, with the prospect of this "side couple" dominating current commentary and providing a reprieve from the central angst.
