## Chapter
- number: 3
- release_date: 2025-03-07

### Summary
This chapter introduces a new, intensely despised antagonist: Pilgyun's biological father. Reader commentary is saturated with extreme hatred for this "shitty old man," who is depicted publicly humiliating Nanmu and is held responsible for Pilgyun's own psychotic behavior. The narrative also features the death of a cat, an event that deeply distresses the audience and serves to highlight Pilgyun's disturbing jealousy towards the animal. This incident seemingly provokes a fiercely protective and violent response from Nanmu. While the introduction of the biological father clarifies that Nanmu is indeed the stepfather—a relief to some—it simultaneously deepens reader confusion regarding the family's complex history, with hints of a past affair between Nanmu and Pilgyun's mother. The central relationship escalates as Pilgyun kisses Nanmu, reinforcing his obsessive attachment. Despite the widespread confusion about the plot, the focus remains fixed on the volatile and transgressive bond between the two leads, with Pilgyun's continued use of "Dad" in a romantic context remaining a key point of fascination and discomfort.
