### Summary
Following a flashback that cast the irreparable break between Yoo Jung and Inho Baek in a more tragic light, the narrative delves deeper into Jung’s childhood, revealing the origins of his manipulative personality. Reader reactions confirm this chapter exposes the profoundly damaging influence of Jung's father, who, under the guidance of a dubious psychologist named Professor Baek, taught his son to repress his emotions rather than understand them. This upbringing, devoid of sincere role models and reliant on threats and control, has fundamentally re-contextualized Jung’s character. He is now viewed less as a calculating antagonist and more as a tragic product of an emotionally abusive environment, forced to develop a "nice guy façade" as a defense mechanism. The appearance of Jung’s mother, who recognized the toxicity of his father's methods, highlights what he lost. This revelation has triggered a massive wave of sympathy for Jung, with readers directing their animosity squarely at his father and Professor Baek for shaping him into the complex and inscrutable person he is today, further solidifying the manhwa's reputation for psychological depth.
