### Summary
The narrative shifts from celebratory visuals to a tense confrontation at a formal event, where Hyeon's unnamed brother emerges as a central antagonist. Readers react with disgust to the brother's "creepy" and predatory behavior, particularly his persistent attempts to shake Yiseon's hand. This repeated gesture has become a focal point of intense fan speculation, with many theorizing he possesses a hidden, touch-based ability like mind-reading, hypnosis, or the power to seal a contract. The plot device used to isolate Yiseon—having his guild members simultaneously leave with flimsy excuses—is heavily criticized by readers as unbelievable and contrived. The climax of the confrontation reinforces a recurring "saviour complex" trope, as Hyeon arrives just in time to rescue Yiseon. This event has sparked a debate among the audience regarding Yiseon's character arc; while some express frustration at his perceived helplessness and lack of development, others defend his slow progress as a realistic depiction of healing from deep-seated trauma. Ultimately, the incident solidifies Hyeon's role as Yiseon's fierce protector, a dynamic that readers both praise and critique for its impact on Yiseon's agency.
