### Summary
Hyung Woo's behavior has become a source of major concern, as he exhibits a strange, forced cheerfulness that readers interpret as drunkenness or a fragile facade preceding an emotional crash. This unsettling display unfolds in the presence of Sujo's friends, who are viewed with increasing suspicion. The trio's toxic dynamic escalates significantly when Sujo makes an unfair demand of Boguk, essentially asking him to be responsible for healing Hyung from any future pain Sujo might inflict. This moment crystallizes the unhealthy emotional burden being placed on Boguk and the codependent nature of their relationships. Reader apprehension is high, with many sensing an "impending doom" for the characters. While some still advocate for a polyamorous resolution, a prominent and spoiler-supported belief is that the healthiest outcome is for Hyung to end up alone. His actions are widely seen as a continuation of his trauma-induced hypersexuality and self-destructive patterns, reinforcing the central theme that he cannot outsource his recovery and must learn to heal on his own.
