### Summary
The chapter's shocking revelation that the character Matthew is Jaeho's fiancé has left the readership in a state of emotional turmoil and significant confusion. The overwhelming response is one of heartbreak and devastation for Ian, with comments filled with expressions of sadness, pain, and shock. This plot twist has also ignited intense debate and speculation, primarily centered on Matthew's biological status. While the story presents him as an omega, many readers are incredulous, theorizing he is secretly an alpha, citing the unlikelihood of one omega being attracted to another's scent. This confusion is compounded by ongoing frustration with the art's "same face syndrome," as readers note the strong resemblance between Ian and Matthew, which fuels further theories about Jaeho's motivations. While anger is directed at both Jaeho and Matthew, some readers suggest the engagement is an arranged, non-romantic affair. A potential dialogue error, where a character may have misspoken about who the fiancé belonged to, is also cited as a source of the widespread narrative confusion, leaving readers feeling pained for the protagonist and uncertain about the characters' true identities and intentions.
