### Summary
This chapter reveals the legal and personal fallout from Hyung Woo's assault, focusing on the perceived failures of the justice system. The central development is the sentencing of his attacker and brother-in-law, Noyeol, who receives only a two-year prison term for kidnapping and forced imprisonment, with the repeated sexual assaults seemingly not factored into the final verdict. This outcome is presented as a profound injustice, contrasting the perpetrator's minimal punishment with the victim's lifelong trauma. A second major revelation provides crucial context for the supportive friend, Boguk, who discloses that he is also a survivor of sexual assault, having been raped by a woman. His experience was met with societal dismissal and victim-blaming, a painful parallel to Hyung Woo's situation that explains the depth of his empathy and their powerful bond. Minor details also confirm that Hyung Woo's ex-wife, Noa, defended him against her own family. The chapter deepens its exploration of systemic injustice and the specific, often-silenced trauma of male rape victims, establishing a shared history of suffering as the foundation for a potential path to mutual healing.
