### Summary
Following the discovery of his father's death, the narrative focuses on Heechan's decision to transfer schools, forcing his separation from Jinhyuk and leaving readers heartbroken. The overwhelming reaction is one of profound sadness, with many expressing that the story has become intensely painful. Despite this, a significant portion of the readership views the separation as a necessary and positive step for Heechan, believing he needs a fresh start to heal from his trauma and escape an environment where he has been failed by every adult figure. Jinhyuk's role in this crisis has become a point of contention. Some readers are deeply disappointed in him, labeling him a coward for prioritizing his own academic pressures and failing to provide the emotional support Heechan desperately needs. Conversely, other readers defend Jinhyuk's inaction as a realistic portrayal of a teenager overwhelmed by his own circumstances, highlighting his internal conflict and stress as understandable. This painful separation is seen as a critical juncture, forcing the young couple apart and casting doubt on their future. Readers are left to grapple with the possibility of a tragic ending, though some hold out hope that this period of distance is a necessary "growing pain" that will lead to a stronger reunion.
