## Chapter
- number: 36
- release_date: 2025-03-05

### Summary
The manga appears to be structured as a collection of interconnected stories, having shifted its narrative focus between seasons. The first arc established the romance between Hyosin Lee, a human fleeing his stifling and dangerous family, and the reclusive half-fairy San Baek. Their story evolved from comedic chaos into a tender, intimate relationship, which was ultimately threatened by the arrival of Hyosin's psychopathic older brother, Lee, turning the narrative into a psychological horror. The current season has pivoted to a new protagonist, possibly named Bumryung, who is dealing with a serious, long-standing curse, introducing a more surreal and ominous tone that culminates in a recent cliffhanger placing him in peril. Reader speculation from the latest chapter suggests a direct link between the two storylines, with theories proposing that a mysterious new character is either a creature from a story San once told or an ancestor of San himself, hinting at a deeper, shared world lore that connects the seemingly separate character arcs.
