### Summary
The chapter’s comedic focus shifts from the previous "third wheel" to Kyungju's long-suffering assistant, Mr. Byun, who is overwhelmingly crowned the "star of the chapter." Driven to his breaking point by the main couple's chaos, Mr. Byun's exasperation culminates in a widely celebrated scene where he strategically threatens a stressed Kyungju with a pre-written resignation letter, humorously establishing that the assistant now "holds all the cards." The catalyst for this turmoil is Wooyoung, whose drunken and "childish" behavior sparks reader debate, with some criticizing his immaturity and others defending it as age-appropriate. This leaves the blond alpha, Liam, to evolve from a romantic rival into a reluctant "nanny-slash-chaperone" and "good friend" tasked with managing Wooyoung's tantrum. The incident appears to trigger Kyungju's past trauma, causing the mood to go "downhill fast" and leading to strong reader speculation that a misunderstanding is imminent, with many predicting Kyungju will impulsively fly to the US for a "third time" and leave Mr. Byun to handle the fallout.
