### Summary
The current chapter escalates the ongoing drama into direct physical violence, as the central conflict shifts to a confrontation between Sihwa and Sohan's manipulative father. Following their painful separation, Sihwa confronts the father, leading to a violent altercation where the father strikes Sihwa on the head with a golf club. This assault has solidified the father as the story's immediate villain, provoking intense outrage from readers who hope this event will serve as the final catalyst for Sohan to sever his toxic familial ties. While the attack is a moment of high drama, the chapter maintains its darkly comedic tone, with readers noting the absurdity and humor within the fight itself. The narrative continues to balance the main couple's angst with the wholesome, progressing side romance between the landlord, Gabin, and the alien, Sascha, which serves as a source of comfort. The chapter ends on a tense cliffhanger, with Sihwa physically injured and the central couple still estranged, but the father's violent escalation has created a critical turning point that may finally force a resolution.
