### Summary
This chapter focuses on Juhyeok's internal conflict after the alpha director respects his wishes and stops pursuing him. Juhyeok experiences jealousy, which readers describe as a "stomach ache," upon hearing office gossip that the director is now involved with the omega junior (identified by readers as the director's cousin). This development is seen as a classic "jealousy trope" that forces Juhyeok to confront his suppressed feelings. The narrative also introduces a popular new character, Juhyeok's attractive actor friend Gido, in a comedic B-plot where a drunk Juhyeok mistakenly enters Gido's apartment, thinking it's his own. A significant backstory is revealed about Juhyeok's sister and her health issues, which readers believe explains his deep-seated desire for a "normal" life. While some readers find Juhyeok's conflicted feelings annoying, most find them realistic and are enjoying the romantic development. The alpha director is praised for being a respectful "green flag," but many readers have expressed a strong preference for the new friend, Gido, as a potential love interest.
