### Summary
The chapter pivots to the escalating rivalry between Pilgyun and Jeol-ho, sparking a significant shift in reader sentiment. The central conflict is a tense confrontation where a fiercely protective Jeol-ho threatens Pilgyun with a gun, declaring he will do anything to protect Nanmu, even if it means earning Nanmu's hatred. Unintimidated, Pilgyun reacts with psychopathic curiosity rather than fear, a moment that both thrills and unnerves readers. This confrontation stems from Pilgyun's recent actions, which are perceived as deliberately and manipulatively hurting Nanmu to secure his affection, causing many readers to turn on him. Conversely, Jeol-ho's loyalty and willingness to challenge the unhinged Pilgyun has solidified him as a fan favorite. A key revelation surfaces regarding the cruel phone call from the previous chapter; it is now understood to be direct retaliation, as Jeol-ho had previously subjected Pilgyun to a similar torment. Amidst this power struggle, Nanmu is seen publicly displaying affection for Pilgyun, and the chapter leaves a lingering mystery as Pilgyun is spotted covertly taking an unknown object from Nanmu’s pocket.
