### Summary
Following the intensely intimate encounter that solidified Taehwan and Yeonwu's commitment, the narrative abruptly pivots from romantic bliss to impending external conflict. The previous chapter's cliffhanger is resolved as the disruptive phone call is revealed to be from Yeonwu's mother, heralding the arrival of his homophobic and religious parents, with his father noted to be a pastor. This development introduces a "toxic family" crisis, immediately creating a tense atmosphere of dread. The focus shifts to the couple facing this new threat, with reader sentiment overwhelmingly anxious and protective of Yeonwu, anticipating a painful confrontation. Fans express a strong desire for Yeonwu to assert his independence and defend his relationship, even if it means cutting ties with his family. While the looming conflict is the central theme, small moments of affection and strong communication between the couple are still highlighted, suggesting they will face this challenge as a united front. The chapter effectively transitions the storyline from a celebration of the couple's healthy intimacy to the dramatic and stressful "meeting the parents" stage, positioning family opposition as the next major obstacle.
