### Summary
Picking up directly from the previous chapter's cliffhanger, the narrative confirms reader speculation by resolving the "FWUMP" with an off-screen consummation of the central relationship. Readers reacted with a mix of excitement and frustration, celebrating that the couple "did it" but lamenting the lack of an explicit scene. The aftermath is depicted through intimate details, such as post-coital "marks" and "bite marks" on their skin, which were considered "hawt" and blush-inducing. This is followed by a tender, "fluffy" moment where the couple's domestic intimacy is highlighted, with readers finding them "adorable" and pointing out cute details like Hyosin being the "little spoon." However, this peaceful interlude is abruptly shattered by the arrival of a threatening figure, immediately identified by the audience as Hyosin's older brother, who has a distinct scar. His appearance triggers an instant shift in tone from romance to "angst," provoking hostile reactions from readers who demand he "BACK OFF." The brother is widely perceived as a villain, with significant speculation that he is an abusive and controlling figure with an incestuous "brother complex," confirming the fears of Hyosin's "stifling household" and setting up the manga's next major conflict.
