### Summary
The current arc escalates the conflict surrounding Dojin's family's disapproval of his relationship, creating a significant emotional crisis for the couple. Reader commentary confirms the arrival of a dramatic "storm," with many expressing profound sadness over the chapter's events. The narrative continues to explore the fundamental incompatibility between the main characters' coping mechanisms. Dojin is depicted as deeply hurt and anxious, overwhelmed by his brother's rejection and his own insecurities, a vulnerability that elicits strong sympathy from readers. His turmoil is physically manifested in his inability to eat during a shared ramen meal. In stark contrast, Yeonwoo maintains his pragmatic and rational approach, arguing that they cannot control others' prejudice and should simply live their lives. While this stoicism is understood and even related to by some readers, the emotional disconnect between him and Dojin has created a severe rift, fueling fears of a major relationship fallout. The situation is further complicated as reader speculation is confirmed to be true: the brother's hostility is linked to a tragic misunderstanding involving a character named Yuri, adding another layer of heartache to the central conflict.
