### Summary
The narrative has shifted from Dojin and Taehee’s story to focus on the intense emotional conflict surrounding Taehwan and his partner, Yeonwu. The current arc centers on the traumatic fallout from a confrontation with Yeonwu's religiously bigoted parents. After his mother verbally condemned his sexuality and declared she had "given up" on him, Yeonwu is left grappling with a painful past of familial rejection, which is shown to be the root of his poor self-esteem. Reader sentiment is overwhelmingly one of outrage toward the parents, who are labeled as abusive and hypocritical, with many sharing their own similar experiences of religious trauma. Amidst this turmoil, Taehwan has solidified his role as Yeonwu's fierce and unwavering protector, offering a sanctuary of love and support. He is celebrated for verbally defending Yeonwu and providing the stability of a "new family." The consensus among readers is that Yeonwu’s path to healing requires cutting all ties with his toxic family, as his relationship with Taehwan has become a necessary and life-affirming refuge from their abuse.
