### Summary
The current chapter creates widespread confusion among readers by deploying a jarring and unexplained time skip that completely bypasses the previous installment's dramatic kidnapping cliffhanger. The narrative abruptly leaps forward from Wooyoung's apparent abduction to major romantic milestones, showing Kyungju back in Korea preparing to propose just as Wooyoung arrives to reveal he is pregnant. The reader comments are dominated by disorientation and frustration, with many believing they had missed a chapter or that panels were missing. This abrupt transition from peril to domestic bliss is widely criticized as a "mess" and a "bizarre" storytelling choice that significantly undermines the emotional impact of the happy developments. In the absence of an official explanation, readers have pieced together their own theories, largely concluding that Wooyoung's father was the kidnapper who forcibly returned him to Korea. They speculate that Kyungju, likely alerted by Liam, rushed to follow, leading to their reunion. While there is underlying excitement for the couple's engagement and impending baby, the overwhelming sentiment is one of disappointment with the narrative execution, which some found so jarring they considered dropping the series.
