## Chapter
- number: 29
- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
The narrative continues its decisive pivot away from the established primary couple, Ian Joo and Jaeho Ro, to focus on the secondary romance between the alpha Matthew and the omega Hayoung. This shift is complemented by the series' recent, and largely praised, transition to full color. The current chapter builds upon Hayoung's backstory of being hurt by a past partner, exploring a new facet of his personality that has resonated profoundly with the readership: his disillusionment with real-world relationships. Reader comments overwhelmingly express a strong sense of identification with Hayoung's preference for "fanboying" over fictional characters and idols rather than pursuing 3D romance, with many fans declaring him "one of us" and highly relatable. This character beat has successfully cemented Hayoung as a fan-favorite. While the chapter centers on Hayoung's personality, reader observations also confirm their suspicions of Matthew's romantic interest in him, reinforcing the community's anticipation for the previously forecasted possessive and potentially "toxic" dynamic for the new central couple.
