### Summary
This chapter shifts the narrative focus back to the primary couple, with Ian Joo taking a central and decisive role. The main plot development is a direct confrontation between Ian and Matthew, stemming from Matthew's non-consensual marking of Hayoung in the previous arc. Readers overwhelmingly praise Ian for taking a strong, possibly physical, action against Matthew, which is seen as a satisfying form of justice. This act is framed by the audience as a point of comparison with Jaeho Ro, suggesting Ian's approach to the conflict may differ from his alpha partner's. Ian's powerful and visually striking presence in the chapter is a major point of discussion, earning him significant adoration from fans. The chapter also appears to contain smaller character moments, including a reference to Ian's past dating history with betas, and may feature a return to a black-and-white art style, possibly with color highlights to emphasize key scenes or characters.
