### Summary
Building on the previous chapter's de-escalation of conflict, the narrative shifts toward a more overtly romantic dynamic. The chapter's pivotal moment is Chung Oak gifting Baek Myeongdo a ring, an act readers overwhelmingly interpret as a significant step toward commitment, akin to a marriage proposal. Oak's subsequent purchase of a matching ring, which he transparently claims is for a "friend," is seen as a sweet and sneaky maneuver to create a couple's set, further cementing his image as a devoted and considerate alpha. However, this romantic high is immediately undercut by a new source of tension. Myeongdo is shown noticing another man's hands, a direct callback to his initial criteria for one-night stands. This action sparks immediate and widespread anxiety among readers, who label it a "new form of cheating" and express intense fear of an impending angst or infidelity storyline. The comments reveal a deep investment in the couple's burgeoning exclusivity, with many pleading for Myeongdo to remain faithful and not destroy the progress made in their relationship. The chapter thus establishes a sharp contrast between Oak's clear, committed pursuit and Myeongdo's lingering detachment and "cluelessness" about the depth of their connection.
