### Summary
The narrative continues its successful pivot to the secondary romance between the alpha Matthew and the omega Hayoung, a development strongly embraced by the readership. Current reader analysis overwhelmingly frames Matthew as a "scheming" and "possessive" alpha, with fans interpreting his actions as a deliberate and manipulative plan to get closer to Hayoung. This "yandere"-like persona is met with widespread approval, solidifying his appeal as a new lead. In contrast, Hayoung is perceived as a "cute" and "precious" omega whose "puppy-like" innocence and obliviousness to Matthew's advances have cemented him as a fan-favorite. The comments reveal active speculation surrounding the plot, particularly whether Matthew is intentionally timing his maneuvers around Hayoung's heat cycle. A significant side-plot theory has also gained traction, with readers positing that a frequently-appearing female celebrity is romantically involved with Ian's sister. This chapter's reception highlights a notable shift in the fandom's perception of Matthew, who has evolved from a "sus" antagonist in the primary couple's arc to a beloved romantic lead in his own right.
