### Summary
This chapter introduces two significant sources of conflict, eliciting intensely negative reactions from readers. The primary event is the sudden and unwelcome appearance of Han Nokyoung’s estranged parents. Readers express immediate and visceral hatred for them, recalling that they previously abandoned Nokyoung after saddling him with their massive debt. Their return is universally interpreted as a malicious attempt to exploit their now-famous son for money, with their physical appearance being described as "shady" and like "crackheads." This intrusion interrupts a period of positive development for Nokyoung, who was seemingly about to go on a date with Kang Junil. The chapter also features a widely condemned sex scene involving the obsessive antagonist, Jang Hyunjae. Readers are disgusted to see him with a new, unnamed character who wears a wedding ring, fueling further animosity towards Hyunjae and questioning his motives and sexuality. The scene is described as "trash" and mood-ruining, solidifying Hyunjae's villainy while introducing another potential victim into his orbit.
