Don't Build My Hopes Up — Chapter 14

Wow, Don't Build My Hopes Up Chapter 14 really hit readers hard! 💔 The biggest takeaway? Forget the romance for a moment – everyone's hearts are breaking for Gyu-yeong. Readers overwhelmingly just want him to find a safe place to live, study, and finally get some peace away from his difficult family situation. Seriously, they're prioritizing a roof over his head and mental well-being above all else! 🥺

The chapter also stirred up some intense feelings about the ML, Yeonu. Many were genuinely surprised and hurt to learn he might have just been "being nice," not having mutual feelings. This led to frustration, with some arguing that not rejecting Gyu-yeong outright was causing more pain. 😫

However, there's a strong group defending Yeonu, pointing out he might be genuinely confused, oblivious, or just struggling with how to handle the situation without losing Gyu-yeong's friendship. They feel it's unfair to blame him entirely. 🤔

Adding to the collective pain is the visual symbolism – the note or paper central to the story is now ripped! 😭 Readers are really connecting this to Gyu-yeong's state of mind or his hopes literally tearing apart. Overall, this chapter brought unexpected angst, leaving many readers wishing for more fluffy moments and less emotional turmoil, especially for poor Gyu-yeong.
