### Summary
Following a narrative arc that prioritized the romantic development between the runaway Soohyun and the redeemed antagonist Nam Soo, the story has forcefully recentered on its original protagonist, Kim Kibum. The current chapter directly addresses a recent cliffhanger that depicted a distressed and "gloomy" Kibum, delving into his previously sidelined "painful past" through a flashback. Readers are shown an 18-year-old Kibum, whose vibrant appearance seven years prior stands in stark contrast to his current, overworked state at 25, a reveal that has generated significant excitement. This exploration of his backstory is intended to resolve the foundational mysteries of his character, which were hinted at in the manga's initial premise but were overshadowed as his role became more paternal. The chapter maintains high tension by concluding with another cliffhanger, leaving the audience in suspense over the resolution of Kibum's crisis.
