### Summary
This chapter shifts from romantic bliss to poignant backstory as Han Nokyoung and Kang Junil travel to the United States. The trip includes a tense visit to Nokyoung's maternal grandmother, revealing the tragic origins of his first life. Through flashbacks, it is disclosed that Nokyoung's mother had a premonition of his future suffering and ultimate suicide, leading her to sacrifice her own "karma" to give him a second chance. The grandmother, privy to this vision, resented Nokyoung for her daughter's fate and cruelly abandoned him after his mother's death, directly contributing to the trauma and lack of support that shaped his initial toxic personality. The present-day reunion is cold and unforgiving, with the grandmother showing no remorse. This painful confrontation with the past is contrasted by the unwavering happiness and deep affection shared between Nokyoung and Junil, whose relationship stands as a testament to his hard-won healing. The chapter also features cute "chibi" illustrations of a young Nokyoung and a noticeable physical transformation in the character Sangho.
