### Summary
With the recent, definitive departure of Inho Baek, the central conflict has shifted entirely to the volatile relationship between Hong Seol and Yoo Jung. The couple is currently on a break, a necessary step for them to re-evaluate their fraught connection. This separation has plunged Jung into a state of severe emotional distress, culminating in a destructive outburst where he shatters his most prized childhood possessions. This act is interpreted as a powerful, if dysfunctional, symbol of how much he prioritizes Seol above everything he has ever valued. However, his attempts to express his feelings, including an apology, are seen as empty and inadequate. The chapter focuses on this critical low point, highlighting Jung's inability to process his emotions healthily and leaving the future of his relationship with Seol hanging in the balance as they navigate this painful but potentially transformative separation.
