### Summary
In a significant role reversal that heightens the story’s tension, it is Yuri, not Seonwoo, who turns to alcohol, leading to a pivotal and precarious development in their relationship. Set against the backdrop of a trip to Portugal, a visibly happy and lovestruck Yuri acts on his feelings for a sober Seonwoo. This culminates in a drunken confession and an impulsive, non-consensual kiss, a risky move that threatens the fragile stability the pair has recently achieved. While Yuri’s vulnerability is seen as endearing, his actions reintroduce a problematic dynamic to their healing bond. The chapter’s climax arrives with the long-foreshadowed re-appearance of Junseo, Seonwoo's former unrequited love, whose return alongside another character, Yohan, injects the exact external conflict poised to shatter the couple's progress, leaving their future uncertain.
