Rules for Dating Trash Chapter 27: Ihyeon Stands Her Ground
Rules for Dating Trash Chapter 27 begins with Chanu standing outside, leaning against a wall. He silently smokes while his friends gossip about him inside over food. They guess that he must have something on his mind. He has been distracted and brooding pretty often lately–which is not his usual vibe.
Chanu’s thoughts are elsewhere. He is reliving the last time he spoke with Ihyeon, when she bitterly admitted the boundary between them and their fake dating relationship. At that time, he had assured her that she need not worry about Yura. He makes it clear that nothing was going on between them. Yura was just obsessed with him, and he had no interest in her.
In the meantime, Ihyeon herself spends the next day equally lost in thought. She also thinks about what Chanu had said. But a pang of sadness strikes her. Does Chanu feel the same way about her as he does about Yura? Another clingy existence in his life? That doubt still remains in her mind. Chanu is later seen walking with Ihyeon by his friends. His friends think Chanu is just being overly committed to the “bet,” likely referring to their fake dating act. Oblivious to the commentary behind them, Ihyeon and Chanu walk together, discussing what to eat.

Claiming What’s Hers
Although Chanu had rice soup only a few minutes ago with his friends, he nevertheless agrees to have it again, because she wants it. (He just cannot see her being sad!) However, just as soon as they are enjoying some peaceful time, the storm comes in. Yura bursts in suddenly with a smile on her face and grabs Chanu by the arm as though it were her arm.
With a fake sweetness, she begins to pry into his plans. Chanu’s frustration is palpable. But before he can say anything, Ihyeon finally snaps, thinking. “Ok, I have to start changing now“. She goes to the front, speaking with a steady voice, and declares: “I said that he has plans today—with me.” It’s the first time Ihyeon publicly asserts their relationship without hesitation, drawing a clear line in front of Yura and taking control of the narrative. Rules for Dating Trash Chapter 27 ends with a powerful, unexpected moment of confidence from Ihyeon, leaving Chanu and Yura both stunned.
What’s Next in Rules for Dating Trash?
The next chapters of Rules for Dating Trash will be even more tense because of Ihyeon’s bold declaration. This is sure to leave ripples between her, Chanu, and Yura. Now that Ihyeon has finally started taking her stand, Chanu might begin to look at her differently, not merely as a person who suffers in silence, but as a person who can stand up to defend herself and even him. In the meantime, Yura’s reaction could escalate things further, potentially sparking open conflict. (More and more juicy moments incoming!!!) As the feelings deepen, Ihyeon and Chanu will have to deal with what their fake relationship truly means.
