### Summary
This chapter continues the passionate reconciliation between Seo Seunghyun and Lee Youngjin, with readers praising the high-quality art during their intensely intimate and tender interactions. The central focus is on Seunghyun’s character, who is now widely perceived as a "green flag" Alpha. Instead of punishing Youngjin for running away, he is overwhelmingly sweet and protective, a stark contrast to typical tropes. This caring nature is exemplified by his deliberate avoidance of penetrative sex, an action that strongly reinforces the popular reader theory that Youngjin is pregnant and Seunghyun is acting to protect him. While Youngjin’s delicate beauty is a point of admiration, some commentary expresses frustration with his contradictory communication, where he verbally protests actions he physically desires. The chapter’s main plot development is the significant and joyous reveal that their colleague, Junghoon, is alive and has been found. The narrative concludes on the cusp of Youngjin’s reunion with Junghoon, shifting the focus back to the external conflict after re-establishing the central couple’s deep, codependent bond.
