### Summary
This chapter reveals a significant new connection between the protagonists, as Heechan discovers that Jinhyuk is the son of a man he deeply idolizes. The realization causes Heechan to blush, a reaction readers have seized upon as further confirmation of his romantic feelings, frequently referring to Jinhyuk's father as Heechan's future "father-in-law." The narrative also delves deeper into Heechan's complex relationship with school bullies. Audience analysis suggests he does not participate for sadistic pleasure but rather to exert a measure of control over them—a power he lacks against his own abuser at home—thereby minimizing the harm done to others. The theme of cyclical abuse is powerfully illustrated in a scene that visually connects Heechan's violent impulse towards his father with his own aggressive actions toward another student, Youngho. Flashbacks revealing the abuse began in early childhood have intensified reader criticism of his mother's perceived willful ignorance. While many readers express profound empathy for Heechan's trauma and feelings of hopelessness, a number have also controversially commented on the physical attractiveness of his abusive father.
