### Summary
Returning to the main timeline after a disorienting alternate universe chapter, the narrative pivots back to Yeonu and Gyu-yeong's established domestic life, eliciting a largely positive reader response. The audience celebrates the couple's emotional progress, noting how comfortable and intimate they have become, with their wholesome dynamic being a key source of "serotonin." Recurring details like affectionate sticky notes are particularly beloved. The chapter's intimate scene is praised by many for its gentle and caring nature, which they find more compelling than explicit content. However, this portrayal also draws criticism from a segment of readers who find the scenes "toooo cleannnnn," expressing disappointment over the lack of certain acts and questioning why Yeonu, the seme, consistently remains partially dressed. Despite the overwhelming fluff, the chapter concludes with an abrupt shift in tone. The final panels, showing Gyu-yeong anxiously entering his former home, create a powerful sense of dread and anxiety among readers, who fear his toxic parents are about to disrupt the couple's hard-won happiness.
