## Chapter
- number: 21
- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
The chapter deepens the emotional impact of the previous installment's role-reversal, focusing heavily on the aftermath of Da-im's rescue. The central highlight for readers is On-gyum's tearful, vulnerable state, which they find overwhelmingly pure, innocent, and endearing. His crying face has solidified his "sweet beast" persona, eliciting powerful protective and motherly instincts from the audience, who now see him as a precious figure who "must be protected." This vulnerability proves to be a "new weakness" for Da-im, whose attraction intensifies dramatically, humorously captured in a panel where she is seen googling "men's crying faces." Readers interpret this as a pivotal moment, with Cupid metaphorically ditching the arrow to throw a spear directly at her heart. Contrasting with this romantic development is a wave of anger and sorrow regarding the confirmation that the mother cat was killed by the bullies, sparking strong condemnation and grief among the readership. Meanwhile, Da-im's brother, Jae-im, remains a source of dramatic irony; he is comically unaware that the woman On-gyum likes is his own sister, and readers eagerly anticipate his reaction to the truth. The chapter successfully balances its cute, meme-worthy character moments with the serious emotional weight of animal cruelty, further cementing the series' unique dynamic.
