### Summary
Following the violent climax where Sohan’s father assaulted Sihwa, the current chapter depicts the couple’s intense and explicit reconciliation. The narrative focuses heavily on a graphic sexual encounter, which has elicited a divided response from readers. Many are relieved and overjoyed to see the main couple reunite, celebrating the intimate moment and praising the detailed, realistic art style and character proportions. However, a significant portion of the readership expresses frustration, arguing that the story has devolved into "porn without plot" and that the make-up sex sidesteps crucial character development. Criticism is particularly aimed at Sohan, who has yet to apologize for his prior hurtful words and whose passive reaction to his father's attempted murder of Sihwa is seen as a major character flaw. Readers are desperate for Sohan to sever ties with his toxic father and fully commit to Sihwa. Amid the explicit scenes, dialogue about creating their own "family" ties the physical intimacy back to the manga's core themes of overcoming parental trauma, even as a new thread of concern emerges regarding Sihwa's mother, Sarah.
