## Chapter
- number: 38
- release_date: 2025-03-10

### Summary
Picking up from the previous chapter's tense confrontation, the dynamic shifts from passive-aggression to overt romantic comedy, centered on Wooyoung and Kyungju's shameless and "insufferable" public displays of affection. The primary source of humor becomes the intense secondhand embarrassment and suffering of the blond alpha, Liam, who is universally cast by readers as the chapter's tormented "third wheel." His pained, meme-worthy reactions to the couple's "lovey-dovey" behavior dominate the commentary, with the audience expressing a mix of pity, amusement, and a sense that he deserves it for his prior attempts to flirt with Wooyoung. Alongside Kyungju's assistant, Mr. Byun, Liam is framed as a "frontline sufferer" of the main couple's chaotic relationship. While the chapter is overwhelmingly received as hilarious, a critical perspective emerges, questioning Wooyoung's character development and labeling him a shallow, "spoiled brat" who lacks personal goals beyond his partner. Nevertheless, the dominant reader sentiment focuses on the comedic absurdity of the couple's dynamic and the profound awkwardness they inflict on everyone around them.
