### Summary
The latest chapter's central conflict stems from Soo-young seeing Chaeri with an unknown handsome man, a development that initially amplified fears of her being a manipulative "red flag." However, the reader base has largely dismissed the idea of infidelity, with the overwhelming consensus being that the man is Chaeri's brother or relative due to their strong physical resemblance, a common trope many found predictable. This shifts the narrative focus from Chaeri's potential betrayal to Soo-young's crippling insecurity and passivity. Audience frustration with his character is palpable, as he is consumed by anxiety and internal monologues rather than communicating his fears directly to her. Despite his inaction, a significant character detail has been praised as a "green flag": Soo-young's decision to stop smoking so he won't taste of cigarettes when he kisses her, highlighting the depth of his infatuation. While their relationship remains an intense and undefined physical "situationship," the immediate tension has evolved from a foreshadowed tragedy into a classic conflict driven by the male lead's internal anxieties and a likely misunderstanding.
