### Summary
This chapter centers on a painful emotional confrontation between Hyung Woo and Boguk. The conflict arises from a past event where Boguk confessed his feelings, but Hyung Woo, who was experiencing a severe panic attack and mental breakdown at the time, completely failed to register it as a romantic declaration. This misunderstanding is so profound that many readers admit they also did not realize it was a confession. The situation escalates when Boguk sees physical evidence, described as red marks, of Hyung Woo's recent sexual encounter with another man, Sujo. This discovery leaves Boguk visibly heartbroken and in tears. Readers are deeply conflicted, expressing immense sympathy for Boguk's hurt while simultaneously defending Hyung Woo. The consensus is that Hyung Woo is not at fault, as he was in no mental state to process a confession and is not obligated to reciprocate, especially given his trauma-induced hypersexuality. The chapter presents a tragic and complicated scenario, with both characters seen as victims of terrible timing and overwhelming personal circumstances, leaving their relationship in a deeply fractured state.
