### Summary
This chapter delivers a significant plot twist, revealing that the mysterious stranger Suchae is drawn to is a wanted criminal, possibly a murder suspect from an incident dated to 1988. This revelation shocks readers and intensifies their apprehension regarding the story's "tragedy" tag. The stranger's dire circumstances are brought into sharp focus, as he is depicted as homeless, cold, and in a state of extreme destitution, forced to drink from a public toilet and eat discarded food scraps. This portrayal of his present suffering compounds the tragic backstory of his childhood explored in the previous chapter. The central conflict solidifies around Suchae's growing romantic feelings for a fugitive, a dynamic readers have summarized as being "in love with a criminal." While there is some speculation about whether the stranger is the actual killer or was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, his status as a person on the run is now a key element of the narrative.
