### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from romantic subplots to focus on the psychological turmoil caused by the return of Siwon's childhood bully, Jung Yujin. Her antagonistic role is cemented during a university group project, where reader reactions characterize her as a shallow, judgmental freeloader. She is depicted as uncooperative, attempting to take the easiest tasks, and clashing with group members like Hoon before abruptly leaving the meeting. This behavior reaffirms her as a direct threat to Siwon's mental well-being and hard-won confidence. The chapter's tension is briefly punctuated by a well-received appearance from Siwon's supportive mother. However, the emotional climax and cliffhanger is a tender moment of reassurance, where Daun embraces Siwon in a back hug. This intimate gesture provides a stark contrast to the social conflict caused by Yujin, reinforcing the central romance as Siwon's primary source of comfort amidst his resurfacing trauma.
