### Summary
Based on reader analysis, this chapter focuses on the escalating tension surrounding the central relationship between Nanmu and Pilgyun, with a new potential conflict emerging. Readers overwhelmingly speculate that one of Nanmu's "hyungs" (an older friend or brother figure, with Jeol-ho being specifically mentioned with distrust) has romantic feelings for him and will cause future problems for the couple. This external threat further highlights the unique complexity of Pilgyun's character, who is celebrated as a "thoughtful psycho" and a well-written "yandere." Fans are fascinated by his internal monologue, where he calmly considers eliminating the threat but hesitates out of respect for Nanmu's attachments, making him a "red flag" who prioritizes his partner's happiness over pure obsession. While readers enjoy the "sweet moments" between the "puppy and daddy" pair, Nanmu continues to struggle with severe self-loathing from his past, though many believe he is unknowingly falling in love. The dynamic's praised reversal of tropes—the gangster-looking Nanmu being a "sweet fluff ball" and the seemingly gentle Pilgyun being the unhinged one—remains a key point of appreciation as the audience roots for Nanmu's healing and happiness.
