### Summary
In this chapter, a significant portion of Gyum's backstory is revealed to Ja-wook by a female character, possibly a club manager or owner, during what is perceived as a professional meeting. This exposition dump is the central focus of reader commentary, which is overwhelmingly critical of the woman's actions, labeling her as an unprofessional, meddling gossip for disclosing deeply personal information that is not hers to share. The revelations themselves are pivotal, indicating that both protagonists have traumatic pasts. Readers learn that Gyum's engagement to another person occurred while he was with Ja-wook, a detail that elicits anger and recasts Gyum as a "jerk," though it's suggested the engagement was for his father's sake and explains the ring he consistently wears. A surprising and intriguing new detail also emerges: Gyum may not be exclusively a Dom, but also a sub or a switch. While the new information provides crucial context, the method of its delivery is heavily condemned, and the revelation of Gyum's past infidelity complicates the audience's desire for the couple to heal and reconcile.
