### Summary
This chapter focuses on a pivotal moment in the dynamic between Woo Hyung and Boguk, where Woo Hyung asks to begin an official relationship, stating his belief that dating Boguk will "fix" him and help him "become normal again." In a turn that garnered overwhelming praise from the audience, Boguk rejects the proposal. Readers lauded Boguk for his emotional maturity and insight, recognizing that Woo Hyung is seeking a codependent solution for his trauma rather than a healthy partnership. The consensus is that Boguk's decision to preserve their friendship, even as friends with benefits, is a wise move to protect them both from a relationship that would likely end in heartbreak. The chapter also contains a highly resonant scene where Woo Hyung suffers a severe panic attack after mistakenly thinking he sees his brother-in-law on the street, a moment readers found to be a chillingly realistic depiction of trauma. This event, coupled with Boguk's rejection, reinforces the chapter's raw exploration of healing, codependency, and the complex nature of love, while increasing reader anxiety about the potential reappearance of Woo Hyung's abuser.
