### Summary
This chapter continues to explore the intense, complex dynamic between Nanmu and Pilgyun, juxtaposing moments of tender intimacy with Nanmu's profound emotional anguish and self-loathing stemming from past trauma. While Pilgyun is fiercely protective and offers constant, obsessive affirmation to rebuild Nanmu's shattered self-worth, his demeanor shifts to a threatening and "psycho" extreme toward outsiders, particularly those who have hurt Nanmu. A significant point of continued reader discomfort remains the persistent use of "dad" during their encounters, which many find jarring. The narrative builds toward a promised revenge against those who wronged Nanmu, with Pilgyun's discovery of notifications from another man hinting at impending conflict. A notable fountain scene, a classic trope, is celebrated, and Nanmu's beautiful tattoos are frequently praised as a reflection of his inner worth he cannot yet see himself.
