### Summary
This chapter deepens the painful separation between the protagonists, focusing on their parallel suffering while being manipulated by an external force. Dojin is portrayed as a devoted single father to his son, Byul, meticulously creating a baby journal to document milestones for the absent Hye-sung. The emotional weight of his isolation is encapsulated in a handwritten note containing the line, "I wish you could see him," a moment that readers identified as profoundly heartbreaking. Concurrently, Hye-sung is shown struggling in isolation, his pre-existing trauma now compounded by severe postpartum depression. This vulnerability is actively exploited by Dojin's friend, Heesoo Yoon, who continues to deliberately deceive Hye-sung into believing he and Byul have been abandoned. Reader sentiment overwhelmingly condemns Heesoo as the malicious instigator of the couple's turmoil. The chapter builds on this engineered tragedy and concludes with a significant cliffhanger: Hye-sung begins to experience a heat cycle, introducing a biological urgency that threatens to force a confrontation.
