## Chapter
- number: 86
- release_date: 2025-03-03

### Summary
The current chapter continues to explore the toxic relationship between Taehwan and Yeonwoo, confirming reader speculation with a disturbing flashback that strongly implies Taehwan suffered past sexual trauma at the hands of a character named Mike. This revelation has elicited visceral reactions of disgust and sympathy from the audience, who now see Taehwan’s history as an explanation—but not an excuse—for his abusive behavior, raising concerns about the "abused becoming the abuser" trope. The encounter has complicated the fandom's analysis of the couple's dynamic; while many still view both characters as deeply flawed, some argue that Taehwan seeking out Yeonwoo immediately after seeing Mike suggests he finds a twisted form of comfort in their relationship. The explicit content remains a point of contention, with readers finding it uncomfortable and triggering, yet simultaneously expressing frustration over its censorship. Despite the stressful nature of the storyline, the audience is primarily staying invested in the hope of seeing future character development and improvement for the troubled pair.
