### Summary
The chapter centers on a dramatic display of Seo Seunghyun's jealousy and possessiveness. In a calculated power move, Seunghyun summons a new guard, Gitae, into the room while he is with a naked Lee Youngjin. Readers universally interpret this as an act to "stake his claim" and assert ownership over the Omega. The event elicited a strong, divided reaction: many found the dominant, "red flag" behavior to be a hot and compelling trope, while others condemned it as humiliating, disrespectful, and non-consensual for Youngjin. The scene is amplified by Seunghyun's call for "XXL" condoms, a detail that drew significant reader commentary on his exaggerated anatomy, continuing a theme of absurd character proportions from the previous chapter. Some readers noted the contradictory detail of Seunghyun using his own body to partially shield Youngjin from the guard's view, even amidst the possessive display. The chapter also sparked discussions on the manga's world-building, with readers intrigued by the idea that "pretty" Omegas are rare and confused by the lore-specific phrase "an Omega who can't knot." Overall, Seunghyun's petty and jealous actions are seen as a direct contradiction to his previously stated indifference.
