## Chapter
- number: 48
- release_date: 2025-03-06

### Summary
Reader reception is dominated by an overwhelming sense of anxiety and the conviction that a tragic event is imminent. The current chapter, widely described as the "calm before the storm," presents moments of tender fluff between Hwan and Samwol that paradoxically amplify the audience's dread. A poignant scene where Hwan provides a library of books for Samwol to read until his return is interpreted as a grim omen of a long, possibly permanent, separation. This intense emotional turmoil has left many readers tearful and stressed, with some lamenting that they initially came for "smut" but are now caught in a deeply painful narrative. Alongside this pervasive angst, long-standing criticisms persist, particularly concerning the exaggerated visual size difference between the leads—with some feeling Samwol is being drawn to look increasingly "childlike"—and the continued use of the term "child" by Hwan, which feels incongruous with their intimate relationship. The collective sentiment is one of shared suffering, as the audience braces for the inevitable heartbreak they believe will follow this fleeting moment of happiness.
