## Chapter

### Summary
The central event of the chapter is Samwol’s decision to willingly enter the exiled Hwan’s residence, a move that has polarized the readership. This act of trust is seen as incredibly reckless by a large portion of the audience, who point to the heinous rumors surrounding Hwan and his recent confession of killing his brother as reasons for extreme caution. These readers express disbelief at Samwol's "negative survival instincts," voicing strong suspicions that Hwan is manipulating her with a gentle facade to orchestrate an escape. In contrast, another segment of readers, seemingly bolstered in their support for the main pairing after the introduction of the despised rival San, views this as a significant romantic development. They dismiss the rumors as "OBVIOUSLY lies" and champion Hwan as a good man, celebrating the "ship sailing smoothly." The ongoing discourse about the age gap persists, with Hwan's continued use of the term "child" for Samwol, compounded by a significant height difference, remaining a point of discomfort for many. While some readers attempt to contextualize the dynamic within the story's time period, the overall atmosphere is one of high tension, caught between fear for Samwol's safety and hope for the burgeoning relationship.
