### Summary
The current chapter explores the severe emotional strain in Dowon and Beom's relationship, prompting intense reader reactions. A brief flashback to a young Dowon and his brother, Dojin, provides a moment of softness before the central conflict unfolds. The narrative focuses on Dowon's internal struggle after being hurt by Beom's words. Readers overwhelmingly praise Dowon's emotional intelligence and maturity, celebrating him as a "green flag" and "the standard" for his restraint in the face of provocation. Despite his deep hurt, he consciously chooses not to lash out, a quality that sets him apart from typical manhwa protagonists. Conversely, frustration is directed at Beom, whose hurtful behavior—though understood as a result of his trauma—tests Dowon's seemingly endless patience, particularly due to his failure to apologize. The chapter's tension escalates as Dowon's patience finally snaps, revealing a possessive, obsessive, and "freaky" side that readers find both exciting and intimidating. This culminates in a cliffhanger where a determined Dowon appears to be enacting a new, dominant plan to "claim his man," suggesting a significant shift in their dynamic. This development, along with a mysterious "glitching" title card noted by readers for the second time, leaves the relationship at a precarious and highly anticipated turning point.
