### Summary
Following Juhyeok's shockingly direct question about his rut, the chapter reveals his inquiry was born from earnest research into alpha-omega dynamics, signaling his readiness for physical intimacy. This culminates in a long-awaited, passionate kiss between him and Director Lee Sihyeon in the office. The romantic tension quickly escalates, pushing them toward the very kind of "spicy office encounter" Juhyeok once condemned. However, just as things intensify, they are abruptly interrupted by General Manager Lee Hyeonjae. The chapter's central theme, celebrated by readers, is the profound irony of this role reversal. Juhyeok, who began the series disgusted by workplace affairs, has "become the very thing he swore to destroy," finding himself on the other side of the door he so often stumbled upon. This moment of comedic hypocrisy marks a significant milestone in his character arc, transforming him from a cynical critic to an active participant in the world he once rejected, much to the frustrated delight of the audience.
