Sumin's actions make no sense. Unless there's something in the translation that explains it nicely...
How can someone go from being upset for a person, to proposing to another person in just a few days...It makes me think Sumin is just afraid of being alone

Maybe she's doing the same thing she did with Seju, remember the ring they had when they were together?

Pretty sure Seju gave the ring to Sumin, not the other way around. Or at least that's how it felt. Why does it matter that she had a ring with Seju or not though. This is way early for rings...

Team Gaji pandering to the Sumin x Sungji shippers xD then again, maybe it's too early for Seju and Sumin to continue their storyline since we still have 28 chapters left. now, it would be obvious that Sumin and Sungji are going out....well, they can deny that those are just friendship rings :D

Alright if that's the case, sorry for my non-Korean projection onto the situation. I've never dated a Korean girl. Hope if I ever had that she would have given me a cultural heads up before trying this kind of thing on me...

So what if it's just couple rings. Sumin has been hiding at least half of her life from Sungji. She was quite upset about her past and Seju some days ago. And now she goes to Sungji and pretends everything's fine, completely ignoring what happened earlier.

Btw, Sungji seemed more mature in this chapter, the way she was drawn and her expressions.

Plot twist: it turns out that Sumin asks Sungji's opinion to give the ring to Seju. Lol.

How important does the couple ring represent a relationship in South Korea? I went to SK once, and I did notice that those who're a couple wear many matching items. From an outsider perspective, it seems a like a common thing for them.

Yeah it feels pretty odd. Maybe she's doing it for herself as a reminder of what she really wants. Just because she still has feelings for Seju doesn't mean she doesn't still love Sungji and want to be with her.

Anybody know more about these Korean couple rings? When's a normal time in a relationship to get them? Maybe they were overdue anyway.

Yes and Sumin was pretty baby-faced in some parts.

Yeah i know ..my thoughts exactly ..how can she wear couple rings with someone when your in love with another !? Sumin is totally scared and escaping from her feelings towards seju ...
She has been doing the same thing for 10 years just escaping those feelings for Seju by going out with another women .guess all gonna fire back on sumin soon

Even the translation is out, I probably still can't get Sumin's actions, you can't ponder your feelings with your ex moments ago then give your current girlfriend a whatever - it - means ring the next like nothing happened. Like what the hell? In a span of a few days? Especially when that ex went on a little outburst with you about how you treated her @@

"Traditionally, a couple ring is presented on the 100th day after the couple has been dating to show commitment and respect for the other person in the relationship." - from some random article i googled.
Basically it's just a way to show that you're happy with your partner.

Don't know why everyone's freaking out about Sumin. Blonde has told her she doesn't care about her past and has given her comfort, so that Sumin can move on. That's what Sumin is trying to do now - to move on. It's not the best way to run away from problems rather than facing them, yes. But it's still better than being in an eternal stalemate. In my book it's a huge progress for her.

no one's freaking out xD I guess they're unsatisfied with the flow of the story. I mean Seju and Sumin had this very emotional chapter with Sumin contemplating her feelings for Seju. then, they followed it up with another Sungji x Sumin fluff chapter. I guess the continuity is kinda the problem.

I agree with others. Sumin is escaping her problems with Seju by seeing Sungji. just like what she's been doing in the past. after that "self-assessment" chapter. I actually thought Sumin will go to see Seju. but I guess she's too afraid to face something she want to bury in the past. even though she kept back coming to her. what a jerk xD

Whatever meaning the rings have, I don't think they should wear it on their ring fingers. Are Sumin and Sungnji not going to be mistaken as married women?

From what I know of, when you give each other couple rings, it means that's a big step for your relationship, like a symbol of your love kinda thing. Seju and Sumin had one, and you know how important it was to Seju back then, proof of their love after all. So it's definitely not normal for Sumin to give out sth like this when shes just questioned her own feelings and Sungji has known nothing about Sumin's past yet. It's too fast and too sudden and way not in an appropriate timing at all.
One more thing, after this chap, I positively think Sungji and Sumin is endgame. However, if Sungji is still in the dark and know nothing about SejuxSumin like this till the end then Sungji will be too boring @@, but the only drama could happen will be when the author officially drags Seju into the picture, creates one heck of a drama or things would be just fluffy like this for teamblonde. Now that's something I don't want, Seju has been suffering too much. Oh, btw, she disappeared again :)), I know that Seju is not main character and she didn't appear alot but after her outburst with Sumin, I really wanna know what Seju will behave around Sumin :)))

Cmon Seju is suffering too much? Isn't she the one who slept with someone else just because Sumin was depressed over her parents death? You can say it was 10 years ago yeah sure but it was too much suffering for Sumin back then. Betrayed by the only close person she had left.

lol. you do know that Sumin was the one who kept coming back to Seju. Seju is not even doing anything rather than wait for Sumin to love her again. in short Sumin is just giving her false hope while using and hurting her at the same time for 10 YEARS. Seju did cheated ONCE but it was because she thought that Sumin is going to leave her. it's not like she did it out of selfishness. everybody make a mistake once and in awhile. nobody's perfect except Sungji xD

Not freaking out about Sumin, if anything I am more freaking out about the story development and Team Gaji story telling ability. I think most people already have in mind (no matter which couple you support) that Team Blonde is the end game.

So given that, most would already expect that sooner or later this would happen. But from story-telling perspective, it is very loose and poorly executed. I especially agree with yoonie0104 that the timing does not seem appropriate at all.

If this supposedly represents Sumin's big progress, it feels very jumpy and sudden that it's hard for me as a reader to comprehend. I'd be honest that this chapter is disappointing for me.

When hearing the word "boring", I just realized that this chapter is the most boring chapter of wdtfs I have ever read. I wish the translation will surprise me.

Every chapter without the beautiful haird lady "seju " is so damn boring ;) you have no idea how frustrated I am with 2 in a row ch without seju :((( T_T .......
As for this chaptet . All I have to say is that team blonde is in a bubble now a bubble that will burst in the next few chapters when sungi find out about seju and sumin ...cuz if sungi doesn't confront sumin sumin will always want seju in the end . Cuz I'm pretty convinced that sumin is escaping seju right now

My thoughts exactly. Tbh I don't even care about TeamPink anymore. I do care about what will happen to Seju in the end, but her ending up with Sumin feels meaningless now. Because, even if Seju loves her, I can't like Sumin's character very much. She is really confusing, and generally I dislike it when someone is trying to cover their problems instead of solving them.

These high and lows in a story keep the suspence up to the readers, but right now they are so frequent, that have lost their importance and are getting boring.

All I have to say is that team blonde is in a bubble now a bubble that will burst in the next few chapters when sungi find out about seju and sumin ...cuz if sungi doesn't confront sumin sumin will always want seju in the end .

I'm not so sure about this. Sungji seems like the type who doesn't push for questions. She probably knows there is something up with Sumin, but this is her way of dealing with things.

I'm not even Team Pink and I think this comment lacks empathy. Seju has pretty much eaten shit for 10 years because of how guilty she feels. Is she weird and creepy and possessive at times? Absolutely. But saying that she hasn't suffered too much at this point is just vindictive. If you've ever hurt someone you love in your life, done something that you truly regret, even if it isn't as terrible as what Seju did, it's not hard to want Sumin to forgive her.
