## Chapter

- release_date: 2025-03-09

### Summary
The current chapter focuses on the immediate fallout from Juhyeok wearing his best friend Gido's clothes, which, as readers predicted, incites jealousy in Director Lee. This leads to a tense, pheromone-fueled confrontation between the two alphas, a dynamic to which the beta protagonist remains completely oblivious. The audience is divided on Director Lee's reaction; while some find his possessiveness over Juhyeok's choice of clothing to be a controlling red flag, others praise him as a "green flag" for ultimately respecting Juhyeok's boundaries despite his feelings. Meanwhile, Gido's popularity continues to surge, with most readers enjoying his actions as intentional, chaotic sabotage meant to push the main characters together, further cementing his "second male lead" status. The chapter introduces a significant new conflict through Executive Director Ha, who displays overt prejudice by reacting with shock and disgust upon discovering Juhyeok is a beta. This moment of discrimination validates Juhyeok's long-held fears about his place in society and has sparked outrage among readers, who strongly condemn the in-world bigotry.
