### Summary
The intense angst driven by a lack of communication has escalated into a medical crisis, landing Yi-rim in the hospital. A doctor has delivered a devastating diagnosis that seems to offer no treatment, forcing Yi-rim to confront the potential end of his professional figure skating career, which is seen as his core identity. This health issue is directly linked to the fact that his previously scentless pheromones have become active, a development he fears will cause the phobic Cheong-ho to abandon him. While Cheong-ho grapples with regret from their last encounter and irrational jealousy over a delivery man named Juho, readers speculate that his deep-seated fear of pheromones may stem from a past trauma hinted at in the chapter. The central conflict remains the catastrophic communication failure, with readers expressing immense frustration but also sympathy for Yi-rim's inability to be vulnerable due to his upbringing. The narrative hangs on a critical cliffhanger: how Cheong-ho will react to Yi-rim's new scent, with fans anxiously hoping for acceptance rather than the disgust that could shatter their fragile connection and Yi-rim's remaining hope.
