### Summary
Picking up from the tense elevator confrontation, the chapter reveals the source of Cheong-ho's deep-seated trauma through a shocking and horrifying flashback. This backstory explains that his phobia of omega pheromones is a psychosomatic response to a past assault by a menacing omega woman armed with scissors, a reveal that startled readers with its unexpected horror elements. Despite being overwhelmed by the resurfacing trauma and the scent of Yi-rim's pheromones in the confined space, Cheong-ho achieves a monumental breakthrough in their relationship by delivering a heartfelt and direct confession of his feelings. This pivotal moment of communication, however, is immediately cut short. The intense psychological and physical strain proves too much, and Cheong-ho collapses, passing out right after his confession. The chapter concludes on this dramatic cliffhanger, leaving readers devastated and anxious that this event will trigger a new wave of miscommunication, potentially causing Yi-rim to believe he must leave to protect Cheong-ho.
