### Summary
The chapter abruptly shatters the recent period of domestic tranquility enjoyed by Cheong-ho and Yi-rim. The "calm before the storm" atmosphere, characterized by their mutual affection and Yi-rim's Olympic gold medal ultimatum, is violently disrupted by the emergence of a male antagonist. Described by readers as a stalker, obsessive fan, or invasive reporter, this individual confronts the couple, culminating in a physical altercation that directly endangers the pregnant Yi-rim. The event has provoked an overwhelmingly furious and anxious response from the audience, whose primary concern is the well-being of Yi-rim and the baby. The chapter concludes on a dramatic cliffhanger, leaving the fate of the pregnancy uncertain and sparking widespread outrage directed at the new antagonist. Amidst the chaos, a brief moment highlights Yi-rim's coach showing genuine concern, but the dominant sentiment is one of dread and a desire for retribution against the person who ruined the couple's hard-won peace.
