### Summary
The narrative escalates as Soohyun Lee, driven by his complex obsession with Jung Eunsung, enacts a bizarre and risky plan against Eunsung's past abuser, Park Moon Seob. In a desperate and calculated move, Soohyun asks his boss, Minseob, to bite his neck, presumably to create a mark to be used as bait or provocation in their escalating psychological conflict. This act perfectly encapsulates Soohyun's paradoxical nature—a prideful yet desperate man whose decade-long inferiority complex is now clashing with a fiercely protective possessiveness over Eunsung. While this strategy is aimed at confronting Park's threat, it also highlights the extreme measures Soohyun will undertake, further blurring the lines of his motivations. The event, which readers found both shocking and intensely charged, draws Soohyun's stoic superior into the dangerous orbit of the central conflict, adding another layer of tension to the story's blend of obsessive romance and psychological horror.
