### Summary
Following the introduction of a contentious relationship contract that has soured audience opinion and created a contrived barrier between the protagonists, the narrative shifts from frustrating drama to situational comedy. The current chapter's central event is a gift exchange, instigated by Dohee's friend, Nooree, which results in extreme second-hand embarrassment. Dohee, without checking the contents first, gives Joonwon a gift that is revealed to be a hilarious and inappropriate prank item, referred to by readers as "elephant trunks." This moment of miscommunication has been met with overwhelming amusement from the audience, who are relishing the comedic fallout of Nooree's meddling. While this incident provides a lighthearted reprieve, it occurs within the still-unresolved framework of their transactional agreement and Dohee's lingering insecurities about Joonwon's past. The chapter pivots away from the heavy-handed conflict of the contract to focus on a purely humorous and embarrassing interaction, leaving the couple's ambiguous relationship status to be navigated amidst the aftermath of the prank.
