### Summary
This chapter delivers a harrowing and realistic depiction of Hyung Woo's severe psychological decline following the public homophobic incident with Boguk. Consumed by overwhelming anxiety and a profound fear of abandonment, Hyung Woo internalizes the event, blaming himself for Boguk’s subsequent distance. This internal turmoil manifests in deeply unsettling physical behaviors that readers found painfully authentic, most notably scenes where he physically forces himself to smile to mask his despair and engages in self-harm by scratching his skin. The narrative focuses intensely on this raw, internal breakdown, showing how the external conflict triggered his deep-seated trauma and anxious attachment. His attempts to pretend he is okay are shown to be completely failing, culminating in a powerful portrayal of a trauma survivor spiraling without the professional help he desperately needs. The chapter is characterized by its emotional weight, leaving readers heartbroken by the authentic depiction of his suffering.
