### Summary
The chapter offers a brief respite from the pervasive dread, showcasing a tender and lighthearted moment between Samwol and Hwan. Their burgeoning connection is highlighted as they appear happy together, with Hwan even making a comical, failed attempt to run that confirms his physical limitations. However, this fragile peace is abruptly shattered in the final panels by the reappearance of a malevolent lurker, identified by readers as Deok. His presence triggers an overwhelmingly hostile and anxious reaction from the audience, who label him a "creep," "pest," and "snitch." The reveal is described as a "jumpscare," instantly confirming the "calm before the storm" atmosphere and validating fears that the protagonists' happiness would be short-lived. Readers are now certain that this character, who was spying on the pair, will expose their secret meeting and potentially blackmail Samwol, plunging the narrative back into high-stakes conflict. The chapter effectively replaces a moment of developing romance with the immediate threat of betrayal and ruin, solidifying the story's core tension between fleeting intimacy and inevitable disaster.
