### Summary
This chapter shifts its narrative focus to Director Lee Sihyeon's perspective, providing a long-awaited flashback into the origins of his feelings for Juhyeok. Through his point of view, readers discover that the Director is not the stereotypical, dignified alpha he was once perceived to be, but rather a "bumbling sensitive puppy," a revelation that recontextualizes his earlier, more aggressive actions and solidifies his "green flag" status. The flashback is complemented by a humorous present-day interaction with his cousin, who cleverly turns the Director's own logic against him in a "reverse uno" moment. Picking up from the previous chapter's cliffhanger outside Gido's apartment, the anticipated confrontation with the best friend is bypassed. Instead, the narrative prioritizes the burgeoning romance between Juhyeok and the Director, culminating in a hug that intensifies the bittersweet feelings surrounding Gido's recent, quiet romantic closure. While the central relationship moves forward, reader comments highlight a continued emotional investment in Gido's storyline and a strong curiosity about side plots, particularly the mystery of Mr. Lee's pregnancy.
