### Summary
The fragile new relationship between Hong Seol and Yoo Jung has been shattered by a direct confrontation between Jung and his rival, Inho Baek. The unresolved trauma of Inho’s career-ending hand injury resurfaced as the catalyst for a dramatic role reversal, with Inho deliberately employing Jung's own manipulative tactics against him in a moment of karmic retribution. This confrontation exposed Jung's deep-seated arrogance and overconfidence, revealing he may have been exploiting Seol's habits or past trauma to maintain control over their relationship. Caught in the crossfire, Seol overheard the devastating exchange, giving Jung a "taste of his own medicine" and shattering his carefully constructed facade. The central conflict has now fully erupted, with the toxic history between the two men directly poisoning the nascent romance and forcing Seol to confront the manipulative nature of the person she just chose to trust.
