### Summary
The current chapter focuses on an explicit intimate scene between Hwan and Samwol, which has plunged the readership into a state of extreme anxiety rather than arousal. The overwhelming sentiment is one of fear and frustration over the couple's decision to have sex outdoors, a location perceived as dangerously exposed. Readers are convinced that the antagonist, Deoki—referred to by various derogatory nicknames like "donkey" and "dookie"—is stalking them and will appear at any moment. This fear is amplified by the memory of Samwol's recent trial, where she was almost flogged for a similar "crime," leading many to criticize the characters' impulsiveness and poor judgment. While the quality of the "smut" is acknowledged as artistically well-done, the context of imminent danger makes it impossible for most to enjoy, creating a feeling many describe as being "scaroused." The recurring discomfort with Hwan calling Samwol "child" is also heightened, with readers finding the term inappropriate and creepy during a physically intimate moment. Further anxieties are voiced regarding the potential for a pregnancy, which would carry a death sentence for Samwol, leading to accusations that Hwan is being reckless and selfish with her safety.
