### Summary
This chapter shifts into a surreal and darkly comedic tone, focusing on a bizarre confrontation. Two new, unimportant characters attempt to kidnap one of the protagonists, likely Hyosin, whom they may have mistaken for a girl. The author's artistic choice to depict these would-be assailants as an onion and a sweet potato is the chapter's most discussed element, with readers finding the visual gag, including the sweet potato character becoming progressively "baked and peeled," hilarious. Despite the serious nature of the attempted crime, which readers condemn as a potential sexual assault, the main characters ultimately let the assailants go free—a decision some find foolish. The incident highlights the protagonists' dynamic, with San Baek's behavior being compared to the wild anime character Inosuke, while also reinforcing Hyosin's perceived innocence. The overall event is so strange that readers question if it was a dream or a shared hallucination, though one reader speculates a deeper connection, suggesting one of the attackers could be Hyosin's abusive older brother.
