I love the moment in the first half when Seobun's face goes "oh well" once they all realize it's a chance to take away Moryeon's power before he does overthrow Cheol's with the new unit. It's a very it is what it is out of sheer pragmatic gain. Then the chapter gets even better holy shit that showdon't tell moment where it's revealed that Mokga is an alpha too is so good, it was kinda implied in the panel split between Cheol and Mokga, it was gonna go to one of them because they're the only alphas (and the only true remaining alphas at that). What an organic way to reveal a layer to the sibling dynamics, why Ilchu and is submissive to Cheol and places himself as the support, and presumably Seobun was the same with the second brother. Because as the only betas they need to be dependents on alphas for power!

Moryeon walking in with Yeju is the biggest holy shit moment. What an insane plan! Utter insanity to walk in pretending you're in a rut, Cheol was so horrified I actually laughed because yeah, what's wrong with you is the realistic reaction. But then we have the bigger holy shit, Seobun instantly recognizes Yeju. They did say he has a keen eye. My biggest fear now is that from Seobun's POV he will think Moryeon sent Yeju to sabotage his investigation regarding their brother, and think that Moryeon is behind it after all (from his clear resentment and constant sabotage of Cheol and Ilchu he clearly suspects them more). I find it so fun that the two betas are occupied with Yeju while the two alphas are disgusted with the pheromones it's so interesting to me. Seriously Cheol saying in front of all your brothers was so hilarious to me he had such a surprisingly realistic reaction.

Moryeon is two seconds in and looks on the verge of death, I like that the chess pieces metaphor from chapter 10 is back! So many amazing visual details in the first 12 chapters set up the story so well I recommend everyone go back and read them.
