## Series
- title: Goodbye, In-Law!
- slug: goodbye-in-law-79eb2d

## Chapter
- number: 26
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The narrative's focus has decisively shifted from the primary time-travel mission to the intense social fallout of Haneul and Hyeshin's breakup. Readers express overwhelming sympathy for Dahae, who is portrayed as a sad and defeated victim of a vicious rumor mill, drawing parallels to her suffering in the original timeline. Conversely, Hyeshin is almost unanimously condemned as a manipulative villain. A key revelation from reader comments suggests Hyeshin's relationship with Haneul was a calculated move, initiated only because she knew Dahae liked him, thereby cementing her role as a malicious antagonist. This personal drama has completely overshadowed the goal of saving their siblings, leading readers to theorize that the true purpose of the time travel might be for the protagonists to resolve their own unresolved emotions. Amid the romantic turmoil, speculation also intensifies around the stalker subplot, with suspicion now falling on a "sunbae." The chapter culminates in a cliffhanger that sees Dahae emotionally crushed by the escalating social pressure, reinforcing the idea that history is repeating itself despite their efforts.
