### Summary
The chapter deepens Nanmu's profound insecurity, showing him spying on Pilgyun and internally contemplating dating other women. This conflict culminates in a heartbreaking moment where Nanmu forces a "sad smile," trying to convince himself he could be happy for Pilgyun even if it meant losing him. Readers find this scene emotionally devastating yet are simultaneously frustrated with Nanmu's self-sabotaging behavior and inability to accept Pilgyun's obsessive devotion. The audience unanimously rejects Nanmu's naive speculation, predicting that any attempt to see someone else would trigger Pilgyun's extreme "yandere" nature, resulting in apocalyptic violence and murder rather than congratulations. This stark miscommunication fuels a stressful and tense atmosphere, with fans lamenting the couple's lack of direct conversation. Amid the angst, readers widely praise Nanmu's new, attractive hairstyle, which provides a visual counterpoint to his emotional turmoil. The chapter ends on a cliffhanger, heightening anxiety over the fragile, toxic dynamic and the potential fallout from Nanmu's unresolved trauma and jealousy.
