### Summary
The long-distance relationship dynamic shifts into a comedic conflict driven by Wooyoung's manipulative, attention-seeking behavior. To garner sympathy from Kyungju, Wooyoung pretends to be sick, a lie that is immediately complicated by the fact that he is actually out drinking with the new blond alpha, Liam. This deception preys on Kyungju's protective instincts, causing him to become deeply worried and distracted, even during important business meetings. Readers note that Kyungju's concern escalates beyond a simple illness; he misinterprets Wooyoung's feigned symptoms as a sign of an impending, uncontrolled heat cycle, a plausible fear given Wooyoung's history as a recessive omega. Overwhelmed by this perceived danger, the "whipped" and impulsive Kyungju makes a rash decision to fly to the US immediately, much to the comedic despair of his long-suffering assistant, Mr. Byun, who must once again handle the logistical fallout. The chapter builds significant tension and humor around the impending confrontation, with the consensus being that Wooyoung is in serious trouble and will have to face the consequences when a frantic Kyungju arrives to find his "sick" partner perfectly fine and socializing with a potential rival.
