### Summary
Following the romantic and ominous tone of the previous chapter, the narrative pivots to overwhelming comedy as Wooyoung deals with the aftermath of his night with Kyungju. The central conflict arises from Kyungju becoming cold and seemingly ghosting Wooyoung, causing him significant distress. This emotional turmoil is depicted through a widely discussed visual gag where Wooyoung metaphorically turns into a fish, a moment readers found hilarious and interpreted as him feeling like he's "on a hook." The chapter introduces a new character, Genie, who appears to be a confidant for Wooyoung and was met with immediate enthusiasm from readers, many of whom find the character extremely attractive. The plot also builds upon the previous cliffhanger by revealing that Kyungju used to date omegas, which strengthens reader theories that the mysterious red-haired man from the news broadcast is a past lover connected to Kyungju's trauma. Despite the emerging angst in the central relationship, the chapter's tone is dominated by humor, including scenes involving Wooyoung's father and a punishment, leaving readers highly amused by Wooyoung's expressive antics.
