The author posted a spoiler of a future chapter:

In this image Nakyum looks surprised and it seems he's talking with someone, maybe with Mr. Kim. It could be Seungho but this image isn't colored, so we don't if the painter is surprised and afraid. (The author uses shades of purple to show emotions like fear and anger).
Another thing I notice is that Nakyum is wearing a robe. So either he's using another robe of Seungho or Seungho bought him refined clothes.
Tbh, I feel like there two possible outcomes:
1. Nakyum would act just like in chapter 11-12 where he takes silently the "punishment" and abuse, and we would have to expect another character like Jihwa or Min to come in and reveal the truth to Seungho.
I really hope the author doesn't follow this path, because not only we would have to wait until the truth is exposed, we would have to deal with more misundestandings. Also the problem that Seungho, even though he harbors feelings for Nakyum, doesn't really trust him wouldn't be fix.
He claims he loves him, but has to listen to other people in other to believe him.
2. The other possibility I see, is that Nakyum will call out Seungho on his bullshit, just like he did in chap 25-26. Nakyum can really have a sharp tongue when he wants to, but unfortunately he seems to use it only when he feels really distressed or upset. He could point that even though Seungho told him that he longs for him, he doesn't doubt a second to hurt him or never believes him, who knows.
Right now, Seungho is really pissed and letting his emotions to control him making him impulsive and irrational, so next chapter I feel it will be Nakyum's spotlight and depending on how reacts, will see if the story is progressing forward or backwards.
These two don't really know how to communicate, the only way they speak what it's in their mind is when they're under the influence of something like their emotions, drugs, etc.
The line "We are just two naked bodies. There is no need for us to share what's on our minds." really speaks out what the main problem between them.
Second option looks rather impossible with NK's current state of mind?
And miscommunication is one of the problems but imo the bigger one are Seungho's calloused, ruthless and violent actions.
Him not controling his emotions, getting mad and harmful.
It can't go on like that.
violent actions/tendencies*
These are the scenarios I could come up at the moment, so I don't know, in the end we have to wait until next friday.
I just really want to see Nakyum having a character development and know more about his past and why he can't return with his noonas, this season is more focused on Seungho.
About Seungho, I doubt he would change so drastically, let's be real, the guy needs a therapist not a lover. I can't really see this manhwa ending with a happy ending, at most it would end with a bittersweet one.
Well, there is a third possible outcome..
So far the author has in season 1 always had the worst scenario happen after each cliffhanger, but in this one it seems to be the least bad scenario that takes place (which I actually like as it just makes the plot more unpredictable, as our expectations are based on season 1)..
SH is furious right now, and we expect him to hurt NK in the next chapter, but he may just realise that he cannot do it, as his love is stronger than his anger? Or he may realise that he is about to become like his father? or he may find more bruises on NKs body etc..
