## Chapter

### Summary
The current chapter amplifies both the romantic comedy and the underlying dramatic tension, culminating in a moment of intense "second-hand embarrassment" for the readership. The central event involves an awkward confrontation where Iliyan and Kyle's intimate moment, seemingly in an elevator, is interrupted by the antagonist, Helen (Mrs. Taylor). While the chemistry between the charming Kyle and "tsundere" Iliyan continues to be a major draw, this encounter has solidified two ongoing points of discussion. Firstly, widespread confusion over the non-linear timeline persists, with readers struggling to understand the sequence of events between a party, a beach trip, and a hotel stay. Secondly, the dominant fan theory that Kyle is connected to Helen has intensified. Most readers speculate that Kyle is Helen's son, hired to orchestrate a scandal with Iliyan, though a new comment introduces the possibility that Helen is Kyle's ex-lover. Reader opinion on Helen is divided; many see her as an insecure woman who should confront her husband rather than Iliyan, while a minority hope she develops into a more complex character. Amidst the main plot, a side character named Chris is also gaining popularity for being "cute."
