### Summary
The current side story arc has provoked intense reader backlash by focusing on the potential reconciliation between the abusive alpha, Heetae, and the pregnant omega, Hyeonjae (Mr. Lee). Fan commentary reveals overwhelming disgust and condemnation for this narrative direction, as Heetae's history of physical assault, chronic infidelity, and emotional gaslighting is deemed irredeemable. His recent attempts at atonement, such as changing his name, are widely dismissed as superficial and insufficient. Readers express profound frustration with Hyeonjae for considering forgiveness, viewing it as a betrayal of his character's newfound assertiveness and a dangerous romanticization of an abusive relationship. The audience vehemently advocates for alternative outcomes, such as a respectful co-parenting arrangement or Hyeonjae raising the child alone, but universally rejects a romantic reunion. This emotionally draining detour has exhausted the fanbase, leading to widespread demands for the story to abandon the toxic side couple and return to the main protagonists, Juhyeok and Director Sihyeon. Ultimately, this depiction of a dysfunctional alpha-omega relationship serves as a stark validation of the protagonist Juhyeok's original prejudices, reinforcing the chaotic and harmful dynamics he initially sought to escape.
