## Chapter
- number: 18
- release_date: 2025-03-05

### Summary
Following the previous chapter's intimate romantic development, this chapter pivots sharply to introduce intense external conflict and high drama. A new, unnamed character appears, immediately positioned as an antagonist and rival for Gyeong Joon's affection. Reader comments overwhelmingly identify this newcomer as a threat, referring to him with derogatory terms like "douchebag," "scumbag," and "slutbag," and demanding he leave. The central tension revolves around a direct confrontation between this character, whom some readers name Jinyoung, and Cain. The audience perceives this as a fight between two "hotties" or "tops" over their "waifu," Gyeong Joon. While fans are fiercely protective of the main pairing and vehemently reject the notion of a "3rd ML," they are also highly entertained by the "spicy" drama and "scalding tea." The mood is a mix of hostile protectiveness, with readers urging Cain to "fuck him up," and excited anticipation for the escalating conflict, which appears to end on a climactic cliffhanger.
