### Summary
The relationship between Cheong-ho and Yi-rim has devolved into intense angst, driven by a critical failure to communicate. The central conflict stems from Yi-rim's monumental secret: he has begun emitting pheromones, a strong indication of pregnancy. Terrified that the pheromone-phobic Cheong-ho will abandon him, Yi-rim has created an emotional distance. Cheong-ho, misinterpreting this withdrawal as disinterest or even infidelity, is consumed by jealousy and "alpha anger." This tension culminated in a failed confrontation where Cheong-ho's attempt to talk was met with Yi-rim's silence, causing the alpha to storm off in a rage. The ambiguity of their relationship status fuels the entire conflict; Cheong-ho acts possessively as if they are a committed couple, yet his lack of verbal affection has left Yi-rim too insecure to be vulnerable. The situation is further complicated by the supportive presence of a mysterious helmeted delivery man, Juho, which only deepens Cheong-ho's suspicions. Readers are highly engaged but deeply frustrated by the prolonged misunderstanding, with many correctly speculating about the pregnancy and debating which character is more at fault for the communication breakdown that has pushed their fragile connection to the brink.
