### Summary
Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger, the anticipated romantic breakthrough is abruptly derailed by a classic misunderstanding. Despite Yeonwoo's continued assertive pursuit, Dojin inexplicably retreats, running away and making a hurtful comment that creates a new emotional rift. This development has frustrated readers, who lament the introduction of a "typical misunderstanding" trope that stalls the plot. The audience expresses impatience with both characters—Dojin for his sudden avoidance and failure to confess, and Yeonwoo for continuing to push for a confession instead of admitting his own feelings. While this new angst, occasionally depicted with comedic relief like a "chibi chase," takes center stage, the unresolved and violent assault by the teacher seems to have been sidelined, much to the audience's concern. In a more positive subplot, it is revealed that Yeonwoo’s parents are supportive of him, standing by their son regarding his piercing and defying the trope of the overly strict family. The chapter ultimately leaves the central relationship mired in angsty miscommunication, testing the patience of readers who feel the romantic progression is being unnecessarily dragged out.
