### Summary
This chapter resolves the previous romantic cliffhanger with an interruption by a character named Je-Im, delaying the anticipated kiss between the main couple. The narrative then pivots to the final confrontation between On-gyum and his manipulative ex, Hera. She makes a desperate, narcissistic plea for him to return, framing her past cruelty as a disappointment in him and her current desire as a realization of his value, demonstrating no remorse. This prompts a pivotal moment of character development for On-gyum, who firmly rejects her and holds her accountable for her own misery. This cathartic resolution is overwhelmingly celebrated by readers as deserved karma, leaving Hera completely defeated. While a small minority of readers express sympathy, attributing her toxic personality to past trauma and a need for therapy, the consensus is that she is a selfish antagonist who has received her just deserts. With Hera’s arc concluded, reader attention now shifts to the other antagonist, Tae-bum, with many expressing frustration that he has not yet faced significant consequences for his actions and eagerly await his downfall.
