I was thinking like "no way this is the first time he called her by her given name, right? why would she react like that" and then I read the comments and yeah, it makes sense if this is the case. And it should be only faces too because she deeeeeeefinitely admired his abs some chapters ago.

As others have said I wonder if she just doesn't see him as a person until now. The question is, why did she approach him in the first place? Just because he called her beautiful?
Maybe because he has the same condition as her, so maybe that madeher interested.

My rule of thumb since long ago has been if I see someone hanging out with someone else and then when that person arent around they start talking sh*t or grievances I just assume they do the same about me so keep them at an arms length

works well so far :win:

it seems like the Shoujo manga trope is at work for Sunwoo now, she now sees the MC as this probably (just grabbed random Shoujo male lead):

Sooo what does she see people as?

My bet is on blank white masks instead of faces. Just because.

EDIT: Scratch that. Greek Theatre-like masks with fake joyful expressions pasted on.

I'll be surprised if the next chapter isn't told in her PoV and culminates with the mask falling off the MC's face.

Beyond the romance which is cute and I obviously enjoy, I'm kinda just looking forward to both of them... healing? Even if they somehow not end up together.

I really don’t get what Yewon’s deal is. Was she actually trying to spread rumours as some a get back, or is she just that out of touch? The way she looked, it’s hard to tell if it was calculated or if she genuinely has no awareness of how messed up that is.

And honestly, it just reinforces why Sunwoo is the way she is. Like some people have mentioned, she seems to have a similar defense mechanism to Jin-Yong—closing herself off because of past experiences. When you’ve had people be nice to your face and then talk behind your back, like we saw in that mini-flashback and now with Yewon, it makes sense why she’d struggle to trust anyone.

That's why I really like Jin-Yong standing on business and deciding to use his own discretion to determine who Sunwoo is instead of buying into baseless rumours coming from someone unstable. But what impressed me more is that he was able to quell his frustration in the moment and told them to do whatever they want since it won't change how he feels. That's shows real character and maturity to defuse the situation even when they are in the wrong.

Its that kindness and genuineness that will save Sunwoo and make her start believing in people again.

Thanks for the translation!
It’s probably just classic jealousy. Sunwoo is pretty and accomplished. Insecure kids will try to take advantage of that or try to take her down to make themselves feel better.

Maybe she could only see part of him from chapter 1 to the current chapter. Since her trauma comes from people talking behind her back, likely, she can only see people she deems honest. As a consequence, when he blurted out that he found her beautiful, she would partially see him due to his directness. However, it was not until he defended her that she truly understood he was honest and wouldn't talk behind her back that she could see him.
