### Summary
The chapter shifts focus to the psychological aftermath of the previous encounter, highlighting Ja-wook's severe mental distress. Reader commentary describes him as being in a state akin to "drug withdrawal," unable to focus on everyday tasks due to his overwhelming obsession with Gyum. The community remains sharply divided, continuing the debate on consent and responsibility; some readers find the dynamic increasingly uncomfortable and draining, arguing Ja-wook needs therapy and education on BDSM, while others maintain that the onus is on him to use the safe word. The primary plot development is the introduction of a new, handsome character who readers widely speculate is Ja-wook's abusive ex, with some identifying him as Kang Yoojoon. His sudden appearance is met with a mix of alarm and anticipation, as fans predict the start of a "jealousy arc" or a dramatic intervention that will force a confrontation with Ja-wook's past trauma, further complicating the already tense and volatile relationship.
