## Chapter
- number: 88
- release_date: 2025-03-10

### Summary
The narrative has decisively pivoted to the popular side story, "How to Snag an Omega," focusing entirely on the angsty romance between Wooyoung’s brother, Jooyoung, and the dominant omega, Genie. The current chapter details the immediate, conflicted aftermath of a sexual encounter between the two, which occurred in a music room. The central conflict stems from ambiguous consent, as Genie initiated the advance while intoxicated but is now angry and withdrawn, leaving a sober and heartbroken Jooyoung to apologize for the incident. This has ignited intense reader debate over who is at fault, with arguments citing Genie's mixed signals, Jooyoung's poor judgment, and the mitigating influence of omegaverse instincts and pheromones. Speculation is rampant that Genie's volatile reaction is rooted in a past trauma from his and Jooyoung's shared high school days, which may also explain his reclusive nature. Fan engagement is overwhelmingly centered on this new couple, whose physical appeal—Jooyoung's "glow up" has made him a fan-favorite, and Genie is lauded as "gorgeous"—has completely overshadowed the original protagonists, Wooyoung and Kyungju, who are now relegated to the background.
