I love that he's back so much. Another thing, are these my ideas, or did the chapter feel a little strange?

@Jay I don't know how to explain it, maybe a little random? I saw Woohee very submissive towards Yeonwoo which I thought was strange coming from her, although this is her first interaction as such, or maybe it was just out of respect and she didn't play his "game". I don't know, the chapter and its context seemed a little strange to me overall, and I don't think it was because of the long pause, since I had just read it again. Well, maybe they're just my ideas and that's it.
@Adri Arjo I can kinda see it...but I guess I don't really find it out of character because, for all Woo-h** says she dislikes Yeon-woo, she's never been anything but polite to her. Woo-h** is kinda like that in general...thinking about how she is with Sun-deok or even those mean girls/gossips. It's hard to keep in mind because most of her screentime is with Ji-ho, but she's really only assertive and uninhibited when they're together. Plus she's down about their fight and she knows she was in the wrong, so that could contribute.

@Jay Exactly, that's why I said maybe she was just respectful and polite, we already know that Woohee is normally a bit peaceful but assertive (except for her feelings, but I understand her since everything is new to her) Maybe it just seemed strange to me because she was already reaching a climax regarding the situation with Yeonwoo. I liked seeing her interacting apart from Jiho, since as you say, every time we saw her it was with her, it's good, so we can learn more about her personality.
@Adri Arjo Yeah, I get you. I will say I expected more angst considering the scale and intensity of Woohui's and Ji-ho's fight. While I can't see Woohui directing hostility towards Yeon-woo in any circumstance, that argument did feel like a turning point...so I thought we'd see a bit more emotional anguish and introspection from Woohui. And that she'd be better at articulating the real reason she was upset, because she seemed to have realised her own jealousy and desire for reciprocation (at least it in part) in 39 — she even almost said it aloud. 

I guess it's possible she just doesn't want to reveal that to Yeon-woo (though her inner monologue/body language doesn't suggest she's hiding it) and Yeon-woo will end up being the one to draw it outta her since Yeon-woo likes her/finds her amusing in the same way she finds Ji-ho funny. 

But yeah, it does feel like the narrative tension was walked back a bit. Is that what you meant?
@Adri Arjo yeah why would woohee talk with pink hair? And why pink hair would talk with woohee too? That's new when I see woohees pov not that blue hair, LETSS GOOO

@Jay Exactamente, esperaba más intensidad y tensión respecto a su primera interacción (no pelea, ni nada por el estilo) ya que como dije, Woohee estaba llegando a un punto de inflexión y clímax con respecto a Yeonwoo, y sí, era gracias a sus sutiles provocaciones por parte de Yeonwoo, uniéndose a la discusión con Jiho. Pero bueno, al parecer aún no es consciente de todo respecto a sus sentimientos, tomará tiempo y estoy lista para verlo, si hay algo que me encanta de Woohee es lo expresiva que es, lo cual es más que suficiente para que Yeonwoo actúe y continúe en su divertido "juego". Y sí, estoy de acuerdo contigo, ella es quien la hará contraatacar, es obvio que también será quien una a Woohee y Jiho para bien o para mal. Salvo el problema con Jiho, Woohee es tan directa como siempre, veremos a qué responde Yeonwoo y qué hará en consecuencia.

@Jay She is jealous but she doesn't know why, she is aware that her best friend almost kissed her, she gets excited when Jiho touches her, but she doesn't realize it, she looks at Jiho's lips but she doesn't realize it either hahahahaha and so on... I hope to see more of her perspective, although she is so expressive that we already know it except her. So this will be fun
