### Summary
Following the traumatic exposure of her stalker, Youngon Oh, orchestrated by Yoo Jung, the fragile new relationship between Jung and Hong Seol has reached a breaking point. The incident, where Jung secretly filmed an assault for leverage rather than intervening, shattered Seol's trust and led to a much-needed confrontation. During this tense exchange, Seol demands honesty about his past, forcing Jung to address why he pushed Youngon onto her a year ago. It is revealed that his actions stemmed from a genuine dislike for her at the time. Now, however, he is consumed by guilt and a profound fear of losing her, which manifests in his inability to communicate effectively or offer a sincere apology for the trauma he caused. While subtle details like his shaking hand betray his inner turmoil, he avoids true accountability. For Seol, who has been desperate for any sign of genuine emotion, this conversation is a crucial step forward, finally allowing them to air out the situation. However, the lack of a formal apology leaves the core conflict unresolved. The confrontation highlights the toxic dynamic of their bond, precariously balancing Seol's need for honesty against Jung's manipulative nature and deep-seated communication issues.
