### Summary
Following his second rejection of Kang Jun, Suh Yoonseul’s psychological torment has escalated from nightly dreams to waking hallucinations, a development readers celebrate as deserved suffering. The audience remains firmly aligned with Jun, expressing a desire for Yoonseul to atone for his cruelty before earning any forgiveness. A significant focus of the current chapter is the introduction of a handsome colleague, Heemin, who has garnered overwhelming praise from fans for attempting to give Yoonseul a "reality check" about his feelings. Readers have dissected Yoonseul's internal state, pointing to his jealous imagination—where he pictures Jun blushing only with him—as clear evidence of his repressed love and internalized homophobia. This chapter is widely interpreted as the beginning of "Round 3," reinforcing the dominant fan theory that the narrative is progressing towards its titular "Third Ending," where Yoonseul is expected to finally confront his emotions and earn his redemption.
