### Summary
The current chapter escalates the central conflict through two significant and emotionally opposing developments. Ga-in takes decisive action against the persistent rival alpha, Shura, physically rejecting his aggressive advances in a confrontation where Shura deliberately uses his pheromones. Following this, in a pivotal and highly anticipated moment, Ga-in definitively chooses to continue his pregnancy by throwing away the abortion pills, an act that brings immense relief to the audience. However, this positive turn is immediately undercut by the chapter's devastating cliffhanger. When Ga-in returns home, he carries the lingering scent of the other alpha from his encounter with Shura. Already consumed by insecurity, Hyeon-Oh detects the rival's pheromones on his partner, leading to a painful misunderstanding. The narrative culminates in a final, heart-wrenching panel depicting a crying Hyeon-Oh, plunging the couple back into angst and setting the stage for a new conflict fueled by miscommunication, just as a major step toward solidifying their bond was secretly made.
