### Summary
In this chapter, Cheong-ho explicitly establishes that his relationship with Yi-rim is purely physical and "will never lead to something more," setting a clear friends-with-benefits boundary. This declaration is met with overwhelming dramatic irony by readers, many of whom are aware of the couple's future son, Yi-ho, and confidently predict Cheong-ho will be the one to "fall harder" and eventually "beg" for a committed relationship. Yi-rim's behavior in response has become a point of contention. While many readers find his immediate desire for romance endearing and bold, sympathizing with him as a "poor baby" who just wants to be loved, a significant faction criticizes his actions as pushy, manipulative, and disrespectful of Cheong-ho's clearly stated wishes. Some readers connect Yi-rim's intense need for affection to his background as an orphan. The dynamic is now defined by Cheong-ho's denial and Yi-rim's overt romantic pursuit, though some confusion remains among the audience regarding the mechanics of Yi-rim's scentless pheromones and his own motivations for entering the arrangement.
