### Summary
Following his second rejection of Kang Jun, Suh Yoonseul’s escalating psychological torment culminates in a pivotal emotional awakening. Prompted by a "reality check" from his colleague Heemin, Yoonseul is forced to confront his repressed romantic feelings for Jun. Reader sentiment is a mixture of satisfaction and anticipation; fans celebrate Yoonseul's current suffering as deserved karma for his cruelty, while eagerly looking forward to a "chasing arc" where he must now grovel and atone. Many readers find the delayed realization of his sexuality to be a realistic and organic development, attributing his denial to societal conditioning and internalized homophobia. While Yoonseul's struggle garners some empathy, the audience remains firmly aligned with Jun, who is praised for creating distance and "standing his ground." Heemin is overwhelmingly lauded for his role as a catalyst in this turning point. Despite the progress, some readers critique Yoonseul for remaining self-centered, focusing on his own newfound feelings rather than the pain he has caused Jun.
