### Summary
Following the traumatic confrontation with his abusive father, Hye-sung has descended into a severe depressive state, causing him to emotionally withdraw from his family. This crisis manifests in his inability to connect with his son, Byul, even pushing the distressed child away. While Dojin remains a patient and supportive partner, giving Hye-sung space to process, friends like Heesoo express deep concern over his suffering. The narrative escalates this family drama with the sudden appearance of Hye-sung's estranged mother, a figure who bears a striking resemblance to him. Her arrival is met with immediate suspicion by readers, who largely believe that both parents are opportunistically resurfacing only after learning of Hye-sung's marriage to a wealthy and famous Alpha. This dual reappearance has shattered the couple's hard-won stability, forcing Hye-sung's unresolved abandonment trauma to the forefront. Reader sentiment is overwhelmingly sympathetic towards Hye-sung, defending his complex psychological struggles and difficulties with fatherhood as a direct result of his abusive past.
