### Summary
Following the recent escalation of romantic tension, Hong Seol finds herself in another perilous situation, targeted by a group of harassing men. Yoo Jung intervenes, but his actions are characteristically complex and morally ambiguous. After a moment of hesitation that some readers found heartless, he steps in to "save" her. His intervention is marked by a subtle but significant gesture—pointedly stepping on a cigarette, a direct callback to a past embarrassing moment he remembers about Seol. Instead of a straightforward rescue, however, Jung employs his signature manipulative strategy. He provides one of the harassers with Inha Baek's phone number, a calculated move seen by readers as a way of "throwing trash to Inha." This act is interpreted as Jung simultaneously protecting Seol while orchestrating a cruel and fitting punishment for her aggressor, ensuring the volatile Inha will make the man either "broke or beaten to a pulp." The incident reinforces Jung's nature as a "decent asshole"—a protector whose methods are unnerving, indirect, and deeply manipulative.
