### Summary
Reader discussion for the current chapter is dominated by the Sous Chef, whose antagonistic behavior towards Kim Shin sparks widespread speculation. The Sous Chef voices a strong prejudice against dominant alphas, claiming they treat recessive omegas like "toys," which readers theorize stems from past trauma and a misguided, protective instinct towards Song Yeon-woo. While some see him as protective, many feel his words are insulting to Yeon-woo's own worth, creating a new external conflict for the main couple. This tension complements the ongoing slow-burn romance, which fans continue to praise for its palpable sexual tension, celebrated through artistic details like "hand porn," charged glances, and the couple's height difference. Shin's character remains a focal point, with his dual nature as a sweet yet formidable "green flag stalker" generating both endearment and slight unease. A recurring point of fan frustration is Yeon-woo's obliviousness, as he fails to connect Shin to the alpha he rescued two years prior despite clues like frostbite. Overall, the chapter deepens the central relationship's complexity through workplace drama, while readers remain highly invested in the couple's sweet and emotionally charged chemistry, praising the art's cute chibis and expressive details.
