Sparkling Baby — Chapter 5

Well, buckle up, readers! This chapter dropped a major character bomb with the appearance of Jaeha and a certain infamous atelier.

For many who've read the prequel "Lover Boy," the immediate reaction was a collective cry of **PTSD** 😭 on behalf of poor Hanjoon. Seeing Jaeha brought back painful memories of past unrequited feelings and a complicated relationship, making some readers feel the trauma all over again.

Meanwhile, readers new to the universe were mostly intrigued, wondering why everyone was freaking out! There was also appreciation for seeing Jaeha looking happy and healthy now, and love for his continued friendship with Hanjoon. Bonus points were given for the amusing observation that both Hanjoon and Jaeha seem to attract younger "puppies" 🐶 obsessed with them.

Conflicting desires emerged: some are now desperate to read "Lover Boy" for context, while others explicitly want to *avoid* it to spare themselves the heartbreak associated with Hanjoon's past pain. Overall, this chapter definitely stirred the pot and left everyone wanting more! ✨
