### Summary
The narrative has escalated with a significant act of betrayal, confirming suspicions about a character previously perceived as benevolent. The shop owner, a friend of "Dogun hyung," has stolen a design from Dojin, a revelation met with intense reader fury. This professional blow lands while Dojin is at his most vulnerable, still reeling from a devastating breakup with Yeonwoo. Their recent attempt at reconciliation failed catastrophically when Yeonwoo harshly rejected a ring Dojin had spent months creating, deepening the chasm between them. While a subtle detail from the previous chapter—Yeonwoo still wearing a bracelet from Dojin—offers a sliver of hope for their fractured relationship, the story is now burdened with multiple unresolved crises. With the series finale just one chapter away, the couple must navigate not only their profound emotional rift and this new plagiarism but also the lingering, unpunished threat of the teacher who previously assaulted Yeonwoo, leaving their future precariously uncertain.
