Don't Build My Hopes Up — Chapter 16

Well, buckle up, because readers dove deep into their feelings for Don't Build My Hopes Up Chapter 16! The loudest voice in the comments section? A collective plea to our sweet MC: "Honey, PLEASE just focus on yourself!" 🙏

Despite potentially facing homelessness and dealing with toxic parents 😭, readers are tearing their hair out because he's still checking on the person who rejected him. "Are YOU okay?" is the question everyone is asking *him*, not the other way around!

There's sympathy for the love interest (Hyung) – maybe he's just confused or hiding his feelings (the tape theory was popular! 👀) – but the dominant feeling is fierce protection for the MC. Readers are ready to bubble wrap him, adopt him, or join the "Protect Beom squad" 🛡️.

This chapter clearly hit hard, making many feel the pain right alongside the characters ("This hurts so bad!"). While some wish they'd just make up, most are just desperate for the MC to prioritize himself and find some peace. Chapter 16 was definitely an emotional rollercoaster! 🎢
