### Summary
The current chapter masterfully subverts the classic "white knight" trope, a development that readers both anticipated and overwhelmingly celebrated. Following questionable advice from Da-im's younger brother, Jae-im, to orchestrate a heroic rescue, On-gyum finds himself in a situation involving bullies harming a cat. However, the plan backfires spectacularly when the roles are reversed. Instead of On-gyum saving the day, the formidable Da-im swoops in, becoming the "knight in shining armor" who protects both the animal and a stunned, teary-eyed On-gyum. This role-reversal is the chapter's central highlight, with the audience delighting in Da-im's cool heroism and On-gyum's adorable, swooning reaction, which further solidifies his "sweet beast" characterization. While the "task failed successfully" dynamic is praised for defying gender stereotypes, a significant portion of the readership voices strong condemnation for the animal cruelty depicted. Furthermore, a moral debate has emerged regarding the brother's advice, with many readers criticizing the idea of pursuing someone already in a relationship as disrespectful and "shady." Despite this, the chapter is seen as a triumph, reinforcing the manga's theme of upending clichés and leaving readers charmed by the unique dynamic between the main couple.
