### Summary
The narrative continues to sideline the main couple, Wooyoung and Kyungju, focusing exclusively on the side story of Jooyoung and Genie. The plot has delved into a flashback exploring their shared school days, revealing the deep-seated origins of their present-day conflict and trauma. Reader engagement has completely shifted to this new arc, with comments indicating a strong investment in the "childhood lovers" trope and their history of "bond and hurt." The central conflict highlighted by readers is the immense pressure and emotional abuse Genie suffers from his father, who appears to resent him for not being an alpha. This has led to fan speculation that Genie is a recessive omega who may be overusing suppressants to hide his identity, resulting in physical harm. While some readers find the side story lacks appeal, the overwhelming response is one of intense interest in the couple's past, their physical "glow up," and the classic dynamic of avoiding someone due to underlying attraction, leaving the main plot and its protagonists entirely in the background.
