### Summary
Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger, this installment delivers on reader expectations as Hong Dohui finally confesses the truth about his cursed "eternal punishment" to Jo Seong-jae. This pivotal moment of honesty leads to a deeply intimate and explicit reconnection, with a well-received sex scene that readers have interpreted as a form of "sexual healing" for the physically decaying Dohui. The chapter introduces a new, popular character, a "Grim Reaper" or messenger, who arrives with an unstated purpose but respectfully refrains from interrupting the couple's private time, earning widespread praise for his manners. However, this physical intimacy introduces a new, ominous threat, as readers speculate that Seong-jae's subsequent fatigue is a sign that Dohui is now unintentionally draining his life force to facilitate his own rapid healing. Amidst this tension, comedic relief is provided by a servant who remains comically oblivious to the true nature of the "close friends'" relationship.
