### Summary
The current chapter escalates the romantic farce, focusing on the escalating sibling rivalry between Prince Kyle and his younger brother, Teo, for the affection of Joe (Geumja). The conflict reaches a comedic climax when Kyle, consumed by jealousy, publicly uses cheesy endearments like "baby" and "darling" to claim Joe as his own. This act, which readers found both hilarious and cringe-inducing, successfully drives a heartbroken Teo to tears. The chapter's chaotic humor is also punctuated by a display of Geumja's surprising physical strength as she is seen splitting logs with her bare hands. However, the purely comedic tone shifts dramatically with the sudden and nonchalant reappearance of the novel's original male lead, Isak. Reader sentiment turns hostile towards Isak, who is remembered for having previously broken a promise and abandoned a dying Teo to pursue the "obron" ore subplot with the original female lead. His return serves as a cliffhanger, injecting tension into the narrative as readers anticipate a cold and confrontational reception from Joe.
