### Summary
Following the catastrophic implosion of their relationship, where Sujo cruelly weaponized Woo Hyung's past sexual assault against him, the current chapter presents a swift and contentious reconciliation. Sujo acknowledges his immaturity, and Hyung, in turn, quickly forgives him. This resolution has polarized readers; while some praise the interaction as mature and sweet, the overwhelming consensus is that the core issue has been dangerously glossed over. Analysis from the audience suggests Hyung’s rapid forgiveness is not a sign of strength but a trauma response rooted in a fear of abandonment and a desperate attempt to make the painful event "disappear" by refusing to confront it. Many readers feel this is an unsustainable coping mechanism, akin to sweeping problems under a rug that will inevitably cause a more significant breakdown later. Despite Sujo's apology, many find his actions unforgivable, leaving a lasting "bad taste" and shifting reader focus away from the love triangle and onto a desire to see Hyung achieve genuine healing. The chapter ultimately reinforces that Hyung is using his relationships as a form of self-therapy and that his unprocessed trauma remains a ticking time bomb.
