### Summary
The central conflict escalates dramatically as the antagonist, Yoojoon, publicly reveals Ja-wook’s core secret to Gyum, stating, "I know you're not an M." This act serves as a major cliffhanger, creating a deeply divided reaction among readers. A significant portion of the audience expresses fury at Yoojoon, condemning him for meddling in private affairs, violating BDSM etiquette by outing someone, and acting out of perceived jealousy. However, this anger is matched by a palpable sense of relief from other readers who, despite disliking the method, are glad the unhealthy deception is finally exposed. Many believe this forced confrontation was a necessary evil, as Ja-wook would not have confessed on his own, and it now opens the door for genuine communication or a potential breakup of a relationship they already viewed as toxic. Blame is also directed at Ja-wook for his failure to communicate his true feelings and limits, which endangered both himself and his partner. Alongside the narrative tension, reader concern continues to grow over the characters' deteriorating physical appearances, with many commenting that they look "sick," "tired," and "malnourished." The chapter ends on a high-stakes note, leaving the audience anxious but compelled by the inevitable fallout.
