### Summary
The narrative is currently focused on a historical flashback revealing the origins of the fated bond between corporate heir Yoo Taehyuk and the dragon Hyo-un. In this past timeline, Hyo-un has undergone a sudden physical transformation from a child-like ward into a mature adult. Despite this, he retains his innocence and has delivered a pure-hearted, romantic confession to Taehyuk's past incarnation, the man who raised him. This development has created a significant conflict, as Taehyuk is shown to be deeply shocked and disturbed, struggling to reconcile his long-standing parental role with Hyo-un's new form and overt romantic advances. Reader commentary reflects this tension, with many expressing discomfort over the "father-son" dynamic turning romantic, labeling it "weird" and "icky." However, Taehyuk's hesitant and conflicted reaction is widely praised as realistic and responsible. Simultaneously, there is overwhelming anticipation among the audience for an imminent sexual encounter, with rampant speculation that Hyo-un is entering a "dragon rut" or heat cycle that will force a physical consummation of their relationship in the very next chapter. The story currently balances on this precipice of Taehyuk's ethical struggle against Hyo-un's burgeoning, instinctual desires.
