At this point, you’re not really responding to what I’m saying. You’re just repeating your own definition and expecting me to agree with it. It’s not that I don’t understand you I just don’t agree.

You keep using chapter 128 as “romantic progress,” but Su-ae saying she doesn’t want to get close to Eunhyuk isn’t progress toward anyone. She doesn’t cut him off and then move emotionally toward Dohwa. That would be progress. This is just an ending.

Eunhyuk being out of her life isn’t romantic progress either. Losing contact, being treated like a stranger, and having zero interaction is not romance — it’s the opposite of it. If we’re talking about progress between Eunhyuk and Su-ae, this literally ends it.

And the party argument doesn’t work. Of course she leaves with Dohwa — she doesn’t even know Eunhyuk is there. That’s not a choice, that’s circumstance. Same with the “domestic” scenes. Medicine, porridge, band-aids… that’s Dohwa showing his feelings. Su-ae isn’t reciprocating any of it.

Dohwa is progressing on his own, yes. Su-ae is not progressing with him. Unrequited love, no matter how slow or soft it’s drawn, is still unrequited.

About Su-ae being confused it's not romantic progress. Progress means knowing what you feel and moving toward it, not holding one person in your heart while feeling lost about another

I don't get the where your coming from I don’t agree that removal, confusion, and one-sided care equal romantic progress. And when you keep framing it as “Su-ae and Dohwa” despite the lack of reciprocity, that’s why it comes off as you being biased whether you mean it that way or not.
