### Summary
This chapter shifts perspective to delve into Cheong-ho's backstory and the profound struggles behind his distant demeanor. The narrative reveals that his severe physical reaction to omega pheromones is a debilitating medical condition that has led to public condemnation, with some labeling him an "embarrassment to the country." A significant external conflict is introduced: a potential medicinal treatment is banned by his swimming league due to a "human rights controversy," leaving him without any viable options and making his physical relationship with the scentless Yi-rim a necessity for his career's survival. This new context for his trauma and dependency has polarized readers, with many now expressing deep empathy for Cheong-ho's plight while simultaneously criticizing Yi-rim's actions as desperate or naive. The chapter successfully fleshes out the external pressures and personal history that have shaped Cheong-ho, framing the central relationship as one born from convenience and mutual desperation, highlighting the deep-seated issues that prevent both flawed characters from closing their emotional distance.
