### Summary
This chapter executes a sudden and dramatic genre shift from psychological drama to horror, startling the audience. The central conflict involves a terrifying experience at an outdoor bathroom in the dark, a scenario that readers found genuinely frightening and highly relatable, with many commenting on their own fears and getting goosebumps. This abrupt turn to horror left many readers questioning if they were still reading a romance story. Amidst the fear, readers also noted intimate details, specifically the presence of bite marks on both Hyosin and San, suggesting a romantic interlude preceded the frightening event. Initial speculation pointed towards a supernatural cause or even the reappearance of Hyosin's psychopathic older brother, Lee, carrying over the tension from the previous chapter. However, comments from readers familiar with future events clarify that the scare is actually a prank orchestrated by one of San's relatives, identified as his grandfather or "Changha," intended to haze his "new grandson-in-law." This revelation reframes the chapter as dark humor for re-readers, while first-time readers are left to experience the raw terror alongside the protagonist.
