### Summary
The chapter indulges in sweet domesticity as Doyun fully leans into his feelings, pampering Hayeon with small, devoted acts like waiting in a long line for her favorite bread. However, this bliss is undercut by his own internal turmoil, as he tragically concludes that their happiness is "only temporary," a self-fulfilling prophecy that pains readers who know of the looming separation. The tender moment is abruptly shattered in the final panel by the unwelcome appearance of Doyun's abusive father, reintroducing a sinister threat to their fragile relationship.
