## Chapter
- number: 3
- release_date: 2025-03-09

### Summary
The central conflict continues to revolve around Oon Hak, who remains in danger after witnessing a murder committed by Ga Hyun. Reader reactions to the current chapter indicate a significant development in the antagonist's characterization, with numerous and repeated comparisons to the infamous character Sangwoo from \*Killing Stalking\*. This suggests Ga Hyun is being portrayed with a manipulative, psychopathic demeanor that both frightens and intrigues the audience, who express concern for Oon Hak's safety, especially after a startling final panel. While the thriller plot advances, the narrative remains heavily character-driven, building on previously established subplots. The audience is still heavily invested in Oon Hak's personal conflicts, including his relationship with a sibling universally condemned as an "ingrate," and the presence of a new character, possibly named Nick, whose confusing accent is a topic of discussion. The fanbase's expectation of a romance or BL narrative is reinforced by their continued focus on physical details, such as the male lead's "gorgeous eyes," and commentary on genre tropes, solidifying the story's blend of suspense and character-focused drama.
