## Chapter
- number: 49
- release_date: 2025-05-08

### Summary
Building on the unresolved tension from the previous chapter, where an antagonistic teacher continues to harass the main couple without consequence, the narrative introduces a new layer of anxiety and potential conflict. While the physical threat from the teacher still looms, reader focus has shifted dramatically to a new character, described as a "shop owner" or "unc." Initially perceived as nice, this character has sparked widespread suspicion due to a strange expression made after Dojin's departure. The overwhelming fear among the audience is that he will commit a petty but damaging act of betrayal, specifically by stealing a design from Dojin. This new potential drama is compounded by a secondary suspicion directed at Yeonwoo, who also made a worrisome face, leading to speculation about personal struggles such as declining grades. Amidst this growing sense of dread, a minor point of discussion continues regarding the gender identity of the character Jungmin. Ultimately, the chapter successfully replaces romantic fluff with a palpable sense of impending doom, leaving readers anxious about multiple emerging threats.
