### Summary
The promising encounter from the previous chapter escalates into an intense sexual scenario that readers identify as consensual non-consent (CNC) or "rape-play." The dynamic is initiated by Hyung Woo, who explicitly instructs his new partner, Sujo, "If I act like I don’t like it just keep going." Readers widely interpret this as a misguided attempt by the protagonist to cope with his past sexual assault by reliving it in a controlled setting. However, the chapter is dominated by overwhelming reader alarm and anxiety regarding the complete absence of any pre-negotiated boundaries or a safeword. This critical omission transforms what could be a therapeutic BDSM practice into a dangerous situation that threatens to inflict further trauma. The commentary is filled with frustration and concern, with many readers explaining that without communication and a safeword, the act is indistinguishable from actual assault. While a few comments mention a brief, happy moment where Hyung Woo was seen smiling, the overarching sentiment is one of fear that this reckless encounter will only deepen his despair.
