### Summary
The chapter focuses on the escalating confrontation with Da-im's ex-boyfriend, Tae Bum, whose behavior is universally condemned by readers as delusional, arrogant, and possessive. His internal monologue reveals a warped fairytale complex, casting himself as a "prince" and Da-im as a "Cinderella" he owns and can "handle," a notion the audience finds pathetic and hypocritical. Readers mock his entitled statements, such as "I can handle her because I'm me," and his projection of his own "cocky attitude" onto others. In direct contrast, On-gyum is lauded for maturely and respectfully standing up to Tae Bum, defending Da-im's autonomy. A major, highly celebrated plot development is the burgeoning friendship and alliance between Da-im and Tae Bum's fiancée, Jua. This team-up is seen as a refreshing subversion of the typical female rivalry trope, with readers finding Jua's character particularly endearing. While the underlying tension of On-gyum's secret online identity as "NeroNero" persists as a concern for the future, the immediate focus remains on Tae Bum's toxic behavior and the positive new female friendship, with humorous asides featuring the characters' cats.
