### Summary
The relationship between Cheong-ho and Yi-rim has entered a period of intense angst, driven by a critical lack of communication. Still reeling from a traumatic encounter with the manipulative Director of his former children's home, Yi-rim is hiding a monumental secret: he has begun emitting pheromones, strongly indicating he is pregnant. Terrified that the pheromone-phobic Cheong-ho will abandon him, Yi-rim creates an emotional distance, which Cheong-ho misinterprets as disinterest. This misunderstanding fuels Cheong-ho's jealousy and "alpha anger," particularly towards the mysterious helmeted delivery man, Suho, who continues to be a supportive presence for Yi-rim. The core conflict revolves around their differing perceptions of the relationship; Cheong-ho seems to believe they are a committed couple, a notion that Yi-rim, who has never received verbal affection from the alpha, cannot safely assume. This emotional impasse has readers both frustrated by the miscommunication and captivated by the ensuing drama, as Cheong-ho's possessiveness surfaces and Yi-rim's vulnerability deepens, placing their fragile connection in serious jeopardy.
