### Summary
The chapter abruptly shatters the preceding domestic tranquility with a severe communication breakdown, reigniting Yuri's core trauma. When Yuri discovers Mr. Lee (Seonwoo) is planning to move, he misinterprets it as imminent abandonment, causing his deep-seated separation anxiety to spiral into a dangerous obsession. His behavior regresses into a volatile "yandere" persona, characterized by an unhinged and menacing possessiveness that alarms readers. This culminates in a tense confrontation where his intimidating actions are perceived as a threat of physical violence before resolving into a controlling kiss. In stark contrast, Seonwoo remains oblivious, casually displaying a hickey in public while failing to communicate his intentions to secure a new home for them both. This failure to reassure Yuri, especially after previously abandoning him, is a major point of reader frustration. The audience is divided between finding Yuri's toxic regression frightening and perversely endearing, but largely agrees that the couple's inability to communicate perpetuates a cycle of angst, proving their "war isn't over" even in the epilogue.
