## Chapter
- number: 56
- release_date: 2025-03-13

### Summary
Diverging sharply from the previous chapter's violent cliffhanger, the narrative deliberately leaves the aftermath of the gunshot fired by "Sir" unresolved. Instead, the focus shifts entirely to Lee Youngjin's internal state, unfolding as a poignant dream sequence while he succumbs to the poison. This vision portrays the idyllic, domestic life he desperately desires with Seo Seunghyun, filled with moments of tenderness, discussions of having a child, and a rare, heartfelt smile from Youngjin that deeply moved readers. The dream serves as a powerful, albeit heartbreaking, look into his longing for a normal, happy existence, showcasing his character growth and desire to move past his trauma. However, this sweet interlude is framed by the grim reality of his potential death, with many readers interpreting it as a "deathbed" vision. The chapter concludes without returning to the external conflict, leaving both Youngjin's fate from the poison and the resolution of the shooting incident in suspense.
