### Summary
The current chapter chronicles the violent escalation of the confrontation between Matthew and Hayoung. Fueled by a jealous rut, Matthew's tyrannical behavior culminates in two significant, non-consensual acts: he forcefully marks Hayoung and knots him. This violation is depicted as brutal, leaving Hayoung terrified, physically harmed, and bleeding. The knotting immediately sparks widespread reader speculation that a non-consensual pregnancy is now inevitable. The audience response is intensely polarized. A large faction expresses outrage and disappointment, condemning Matthew's actions as unforgivable, toxic abuse and a complete betrayal of consent, solidifying his role as an antagonist. Conversely, another vocal segment finds the raw, animalistic dominance and "yandere" persona intensely "hot" and arousing, embracing the dark fantasy of the scene while often distinguishing it from real-world morality. The chapter solidifies Matthew's characterization as a coercive, possessive alpha and Hayoung's as a traumatized victim, pushing their dynamic from a possessive romance into a psychological thriller.
