### Summary
The fragile romantic progress between Joonwon and the amnesiac Dohee is violently interrupted by the re-emergence of a significant threat: Dohee's abusive stepfather. This antagonist, described by readers as a "psycho" and "stalker," confronts the couple, revealing a history of violence that includes putting his wife in a coma, seemingly over money. The chapter escalates to a dramatic cliffhanger, with the confrontation leaving readers in a state of high anxiety, particularly as both Dohee and Joonwon had just expressed feeling scared. This sudden crisis shatters the recent focus on the couple's positive chemistry and Joonwon's healthy emotional development. The central fear is a devastating repeat of history, with readers speculating that Dohee is about to die for a third time or, conversely, that the newly protective Joonwon will sacrifice himself, triggering another tragic time loop. The reappearance of this villain derails the narrative's brief respite, plunging the protagonists back into a life-or-death struggle.
