### Summary
The narrative has shifted to a deeply emotional flashback, revealing the source of Taehwan's profound trauma. The current chapter depicts his childhood experience of abuse at a boarding school, where he was victimized by a man named "Mike." Readers witness a young Taehwan suppressing his fear and pain—poignantly symbolized by an image of him blocking his door with a chair—in a desperate attempt to avoid burdening his mother. This flashback provides critical context for his present-day emotional withdrawal from his partner, Yeonwu, following the abuser's recent reappearance. The reader response has been overwhelmingly empathetic and visceral, with many survivors sharing their own experiences and validating Taehwan's instinct to carry the burden alone to protect his loved ones. There is universal condemnation for the abuser, alongside a collective hope that the present-day Taehwan will break his silence and confide in Yeonwu, which readers see as the essential next step for his healing and the long-term stability of their relationship.
