### Summary
Picking up immediately from the previous cliffhanger, the chapter plunges into intense angst as Hyo-un remains unconscious, leaving a visibly distraught and crying Taehyuk desperate for a solution. His desperation leads to an encounter with a spirit, referred to by readers as the "Mountain King" or "tiger," who finally reveals the existence of another dragon that may hold the key to saving Hyo-un. Readers expressed frustration at the spirit for guilt-tripping Taehyuk and withholding this crucial information until now. Spurred into action, Taehyuk immediately embarks on a perilous quest to find this mysterious dragon, demonstrating his willingness to "move mountains" for his partner. The chapter's brief moment of hope is brutally extinguished by another shocking cliffhanger, as Taehyuk is seen falling from a cliff, leaving readers in a state of extreme distress over the fates of both protagonists. Fan theories speculate that Hyo-un's coma is a side effect of his sealed memories and powers returning, triggered by his deepening bond with Taehyuk.
