### Summary
The previous chapter's cliffhanger immediately gives way to the anticipated drama, as the reporter "sunbae" has officially used Hyeon-Oh's stolen phone to expose the couple's relationship, creating a public scandal. This act has solidified the sunbae as a primary antagonist, drawing intense anger from readers for his unethical betrayal. The conflict is amplified by the introduction of another antagonist, Ga-in's grandmother, who is perceived as a cruel and controlling figure employing a "bullying for your own good" mentality, possibly even delivering a harsh slap. The chapter's central tension, however, revolves around a classic misunderstanding plot. The narrative pivots to a tense confrontation where Ga-in, now aware of the leak, appears ready to wrongly blame the innocent Hyeon-Oh. Readers are deeply anxious, fearing Ga-in will believe Hyeon-Oh sold him out and will lash out emotionally or physically. The chapter ends on this precipice of angst, completely eclipsing the prior romantic development and leaving fans to dread an imminent breakup before the relationship has even formally begun.
