### Summary
The comedic yet insecure rivalry between Siwon Cha and Daun Hyung takes a brutal turn, escalating from Siwon's previous misinterpretations born from eavesdropping. In a moment of intense anxiety, Siwon delivers a devastating blow to the ever-charismatic Daun, claiming that the sight of his face makes him want to puke. This harsh rejection leaves Daun utterly shattered, humbled, and in a state of comedic identity crisis, a reaction readers find both hilarious and heartbreaking. The event has ignited a debate, with some fans condemning Siwon for being as cruel as a past bully and projecting his low self-esteem onto a seemingly genuine Daun. Others defend Siwon, arguing his reaction is a trauma response and that his situation is incomparable to his past, especially given Daun's prior persistence despite being told to stop. While many readers believe Siwon's physical discomfort is a manifestation of anxiety or even misinterpreted "butterflies" from a crush, the comment serves as a significant, ego-crushing moment that deepens the flawed and dramatic dynamic between the two.
