### Summary
The current chapter focuses on a pivotal moment in Hye-sung's pregnancy: feeling the baby move for the first time. This biological milestone triggers a starkly divergent reaction between the expectant parents, becoming the chapter's central conflict. While Dojin is filled with joyful amazement, solidifying his reader-perceived role as a perfect, doting husband, Hye-sung is consumed by shock and terror. Readers interpret Hye-sung's reaction not as a lack of affection, but as the traumatic culmination of his circumstances; the physical sensation shatters his mental block, forcing him to confront the reality of a pregnancy he never wanted. This fear is analyzed as a complex response rooted in his past trauma, including parental abandonment and abuse, the non-consensual nature of his impregnation, and a profound identity crisis stemming from his recent discovery of being an Omega. The event intensifies the ongoing schism in the readership, fueling debates between those who empathize with his trauma and those who condemn his perceived selfishness. This moment of terrifying clarity for Hye-sung is heavily foreshadowed by re-readers as the catalyst for an impending and significant downturn in the narrative, escalating the tension as the couple's opposing emotional states are thrown into sharp relief.
