### Summary
The narrative intensifies its shift into a psychological thriller, building on the previous chapter's crisis. The antagonist, widely reviled by readers, is escalating his campaign of terror after stealing Ja-wook's phone, explicitly declaring his "next step" in a cliffhanger ending that leaves the characters' fates uncertain. This threat now appears to endanger not only the main couple but other relationships as well. Amidst this rising tension, the chapter provides a poignant backstory for one of the main characters, revealing a difficult childhood marked by constant relocation due to a neglectful mother. This instability crushed their dream of becoming a professional boxer, a detail that draws a new parallel to Gyum's own connection with the sport. A critical source of suspense remains the fact that Gyum is still completely unaware of the stolen phone and the imminent danger, a communication breakdown that directly threatens the couple's recently established peace. The sense of impending doom is palpable as the antagonist prepares to weaponize the couple's private life, with the conflict also introducing a new setting in Ankara, Turkey.
