### Summary
This chapter pivots entirely to the secondary couple, escalating the tension by introducing a new character, David Louis, who is presumed to be the ex-partner responsible for Hayoung’s past trauma. David, characterized by readers as both physically attractive and highly suspicious, approaches Hayoung and offers him a ride, using the flimsy excuse that he "happened to be in the area." The readership immediately decries this as a predatory lie and a "honey trap," expressing significant concern for Hayoung's safety. The event instantly frames a volatile love triangle, with the audience overwhelmingly predicting a jealous and possessive reaction from the alpha, Matthew. Commentary anticipates that Matthew will be "triggered" and "big mad," reinforcing his "yandere" archetype and leading to speculation of a violent confrontation. While some readers call on Matthew to intervene and "save" Hayoung, the dominant sentiment is one of anxious excitement for the impending drama and the inevitable misunderstanding poised to ignite Matthew's obsessive nature.
