### Summary
The narrative has shifted focus from the main couple, Dojin and Taehee, to the escalating toxic relationship between the secondary characters, Taehwan and Yeonwoo. The current conflict stems from a degrading sexual encounter where Taehwan, after coercing Yeonwoo into performing oral sex, calls him "filthy." This has prompted a strong reader backlash, with comments overwhelmingly pointing out Taehwan's hypocrisy for demanding a sexual act from someone he claims to be repulsed by. Readers widely interpret his contradictory behavior as a form of deep denial, suggesting a volatile "gay awakening" or internalized homophobia, a theory supported by a dream sequence revealing his repressed desires. Concurrently, Yeonwoo is heavily criticized for his lack of self-respect and for being driven by his libido, which enables Taehwan's abuse. While some debate exists over whether Taehwan's actions are a justified trauma response to Yeonwoo's previous boundary-crossing, the general consensus views the dynamic as mutually toxic, with both characters deeply flawed. Despite the morally complex and abusive context, many readers admit to finding the fraught, kinky power play between them erotically charged.
