## Chapter
- number: 9
- release_date: 2025-03-07

### Summary
The narrative has reached a pivotal moment with a surprisingly early confession between Soo-young and Chaeri, which takes place during a Christmas arc in only the ninth chapter. This development has been met with widespread excitement from readers, who celebrate the story's fast pacing and the absence of drawn-out misunderstandings. Building on the previous chapter's exploration of Chaeri's point of view—which confirmed her genuine feelings and backstory—the audience now perceives the central relationship as a "pure" and mutual connection between two "cowardly soulmates" who are finally learning to communicate. Soo-young, the male lead, has garnered significant praise for being both "hot" and endearingly "cute and pathetic," with readers particularly enjoying his blushing and the contrast between his tattooed appearance and his sweet demeanor around Chaeri. The manga's "ethereal" art style continues to be a major highlight. The rapid progression has led to speculation that the series may be a short one, with many readers content with a quick and happy resolution, though some express a desire for more chapters.
