### Summary
This chapter reveals Jihyun's traumatic backstory of childhood sexual abuse, which readers recognize as the source of his hypersexuality (referred to in the translation by the outdated term "satyriasis"). The depiction of this real-world trauma response is widely praised for its serious and sensitive handling. Reader anger is directed not only at the perpetrator but also at Jihyun's mother, who is heavily condemned for preventing him from getting professional help due to religious beliefs and fear of social stigma, an act seen as a profound betrayal. Consequently, there is a strong consensus that Jihyun requires therapy to heal and that a relationship with Yohan is not a solution for his trauma. Alongside the sympathy for Jihyun, the intense vitriol for the female antagonist, Sohae, continues from the previous chapter, dominating much of the discussion with misogynistic insults. However, some readers critique this focus, pointing out the disparity in the fandom's rage towards Sohae versus the male abuser who caused Jihyun's trauma.
