### Summary
The modern-day reincarnation arc reaches a pivotal moment as Ian (Muyeong) and Hwayeon confess their feelings for each other, marking a significant step forward in their relationship despite Hwayeon's lack of past-life memories. This tender development occurs against the backdrop of escalating harassment from reincarnated antagonists, including the reporter Manjo, at Hwayeon's art exhibition. True to his ferocious "beast" nature from his past life, Ian's protective instincts take over immediately following their confession. He confronts the paparazzi in a characteristically intense manner, luring them to an underground storage unit for a confrontation that leaves them thoroughly intimidated. This display of unhinged devotion, both past and present, is met with amusement by readers, who note that while his methods are extreme, his core personality remains unchanged. The chapter also plays with reader expectations through clever paneling, creating a humorous misdirection that suggests an intimate moment before revealing the starkly different scene at the storage unit, reinforcing the blend of romance and chaotic action that defines the couple's fated connection.
