### Summary
The narrative's brief return to Lokheun's personal history is immediately complicated as her promised rest days with her family are cut short. Just as she reconnects with her stepmother, Sanhe, and meets her young brother for the first time, a new character—her stepmother's handsome and perceptive cousin—arrives and derails the reunion. While his charm and flirtatious wit spark immediate "second male lead" speculation, his true purpose is to exploit Lokheun's kindness by pressuring her into taking on a new job during her vacation. This development has drawn significant reader frustration, as many feel Lokheun is being denied a much-needed respite and that her foundational motivations, such as saving her father, are once again being sidelined. The heartwarming family moments are thus overshadowed by this new obligation, reinforcing the sense that Lokheun's own desires and well-being are continually sacrificed for the sake of the plot, leaving her character feeling enigmatic and her personal story unresolved.
