### Summary
This chapter delivers a sharp tonal shift, moving from wholesome family introductions to a tense, antagonistic confrontation. The narrative first focuses on On-gyum’s background, introducing his loving and supportive parents in a scene celebrated by readers for its warmth and the striking appearance of his father. This depiction of a happy family life provides a stark contrast to the chapter's dramatic conclusion. The peaceful atmosphere is abruptly shattered by the return of Da-im’s obsessive ex-boyfriend, Tae-bum. Still delusional and unable to accept Da-im’s rejection, he escalates his harassment by directly targeting On-gyum. The chapter ends on a significant cliffhanger, strongly implying that Tae-bum will use his family's wealth and power to threaten On-gyum's small, family-owned flower cafe. This act of petty revenge has solidified Tae-bum as a pathetic villain in the eyes of the readers, who are now overwhelmingly protective of On-gyum and infuriated by the antagonist's refusal to leave the main couple alone.
