### Summary
The chapter plunges deeper into despair, centering on a controversial intimate encounter between a completely shattered Nanmu and his long-suffering friend, Jeol-ho. Consumed by grief and self-hatred following Pilgyun's disappearance, Nanmu engages in the act out of sheer desperation, seeking any form of connection to survive his emotional collapse. This event has fractured the readership, creating a sharp divide in opinion. One faction vehemently condemns Jeol-ho, accusing him of selfishly taking advantage of Nanmu's extreme vulnerability and calling for Pilgyun to enact violent retribution. Conversely, another segment defends the act as a tragic, misguided attempt at comfort rather than a betrayal. They argue Nanmu was "grasping for straws" and highlight the pain of Jeol-ho's own unrequited love, particularly as Nanmu moans Pilgyun's name, proving his unwavering emotional fidelity. Despite this division, the community is united in its shared, visceral heartbreak over Nanmu's suffering. Readers describe the chapter as "P-A-I-N" and "soul-crushing," with many admitting to "ugly crying" at the realistic and powerful depiction of his breakdown. The event intensifies the "second male lead syndrome" surrounding Jeol-ho, leaving fans torn between pity and rage, all while dreading the violent fallout of this desperate act upon Pilgyun's inevitable return.
