### Summary
This chapter focuses on Yi-rim's profound emotional distress, stemming from a confrontation with the manipulative and greedy Director of the children's home where he grew up. The Director guilt-trips Yi-rim over his financial donations, exploiting his kindness and triggering deep-seated insecurities and trauma related to abandonment. This turmoil is intensified by his inability to communicate with Cheong-ho, who remains distant both physically and emotionally, failing to reciprocate Yi-rim's expressions of affection. The core tension escalates as reader speculation confirms that Yi-rim, the once-scentless omega, is now emitting pheromones, strongly suggesting he is pregnant. This critical development, a secret he keeps from the pheromone-phobic Cheong-ho, places their entire relationship in jeopardy. While the mysterious helmeted delivery man, Suho, continues to act as a supportive figure, the appearance of a suspicious car introduces a new potential threat, compounding Yi-rim's vulnerability.
