### Summary
Following his discovery of the conspiracy between Jang Hyunjae and Kang Hanil, Han Nokyoung makes the impulsive and highly criticized decision to confront Hyunjae directly and alone. During this tense encounter, Hyunjae retaliates by revealing his own leverage: secretly taken photographs of Nokyoung and Kang Junil together, which he threatens to leak to the public as a new scandal. This blackmail comes with a clear ultimatum for Nokyoung to break up with Junil. The reader commentary is dominated by intense frustration over Nokyoung's tactical blunder, specifically for revealing his knowledge to the villain without a plan, failing to record the incriminating conversation for evidence, and choosing confrontation over communicating with his partner, Junil. The chapter ends on a note of high anxiety, with the audience overwhelmingly fearing that Nokyoung will succumb to the "noble idiocy" trope and end his relationship to "protect" Junil from the fallout.
