### Summary
The narrative has completely sidelined the main couple, Wooyoung and Kyungju, to continue its deep dive into the tragic backstory of side characters Jooyoung and Genie. The current chapter focuses on a pivotal and traumatic past sexual encounter during their school days, which is the source of their present-day estrangement. Through an internal monologue confirmed to be Jooyoung's, it's revealed that while Genie initiated the encounter while in heat—possibly using his pheromones—Jooyoung carries immense guilt for his perceived lack of control as an alpha. Reader commentary is consumed by this event, debating who is at fault and expressing deep sympathy for both characters, particularly the usually cheerful Jooyoung, who is shown to be hiding profound pain. Fans speculate that Genie's subsequent avoidance stems from his own regret and fear of his actions, creating a tragic misunderstanding where both parties feel responsible. The intense emotional investment in this "childhood lovers" arc, along with ongoing theories about Genie being a dominant or recessive omega, has entirely eclipsed the main plot, leaving the stalker threat unresolved and the protagonists off-screen.
