## Chapter
- number: 9
- release_date: 2025-05-09

### Summary
The chapter shifts from lighthearted comedy to dramatic tension with the introduction of a new antagonist, Deokbeok, who provokes intense reader frustration. After recklessly getting Mokrin lost in a forest, he criticizes her for being "changed" and "reckless" before making an unwanted physical advance and an ill-timed marriage proposal. This behavior solidifies his role as a villainous "Nice Guy™" and creates a stark contrast with Eonyeong. Commenters emphasize the irony that a member of the supposedly "peaceful" tribe is rough and judgmental, while the "savage" Eonyeong is consistently gentle and accepting of Mokrin's true, physically active nature. Anger also escalates towards Mokrin's father and brother, who are condemned as negligent hypocrites for happily endorsing Deokbeok's courtship while leaving their daughter in a dangerous situation. Eonyeong witnesses the confrontation from a distance, and his pained inaction is interpreted not as cowardice but as a heartbreaking misunderstanding, believing he is respecting Mokrin's choice. This deepens his sympathetic "golden retriever" persona, as readers conclude that Mokrin's own tribe is restrictive and hypocritical, while Eonyeong is the only one who offers her true acceptance.
