### Summary
Following Cheong-ho's explicit declaration that his physical relationship with Yi-rim will never become romantic, the dynamic has been immediately complicated by the introduction of a new, mysterious man on a motorcycle. This unidentified character has captivated readers, who overwhelmingly find him attractive and speculate about his identity. The primary impact of his appearance is the powerful jealousy it elicits from Cheong-ho, a reaction that the audience perceives as both predictable and highly anticipated. Readers interpret Cheong-ho's possessiveness—contrasting sharply with his own "friends-with-benefits" rule—as the catalyst that will force him to confront his developing feelings, fulfilling their predictions that he would be the one to "fall harder." Meanwhile, Yi-rim continues to be viewed sympathetically as a "cute" and "precious" individual earnestly pursuing a deeper connection, with some readers expressing concern over a suspicious "director" who may be mishandling donations Yi-rim sends to the children's home where he grew up. The narrative has now firmly entered a classic jealousy arc, using an external rival to push the reluctant Cheong-ho toward the emotional intimacy he previously rejected.
