### Summary
The narrative reaches an intense emotional climax following Kang Jun’s disappearance. On his birthday, creating a painful karmic parallel to the day he first cruelly rejected Jun, Suh Yoonseul waits for five to six hours in a snowstorm outside the now-empty bakery. This dramatic act of penance has triggered an overwhelmingly emotional response from readers, many of whom express profound sympathy and heartbreak, viewing his suffering as the culmination of his atonement arc. While a faction of the audience maintains this is deserved karma for the trauma he inflicted and that Jun’s eventual return is too swift, the majority sentiment has shifted to forgiveness, seeing Yoonseul’s unwavering dedication as sincere proof of his transformation. This pivotal chapter, filled with anguish and the promise of reconciliation, serves as a turning point, moving the characters past the angst of Yoonseul's second rejection and reinforcing the fan theory that the story is building towards its titular "Third Ending," a thematic link to the manga's separate psychological thriller about obsession and trauma.
