### Summary
Pivoting from its recent lighthearted tone, the narrative takes a dramatic and emotional turn by delving into Dojin's traumatic backstory. It is revealed that Dojin suffered from severe emotional abuse and neglect from his parents, who resented him for being "too pretty," and was also violently bullied in high school. This history provides a new, poignant context for his stoic demeanor and discomfort with his own appearance. The chapter's emotional climax is Ji Ho's passionate and supportive reaction, as he explicitly validates Dojin's experience as abuse and affirms that he was a victim. This moment was widely praised by readers for its sensitive and mature handling of the topic. The subplot involving the secondary couple is also directly impacted by this revelation. Sungyun, confirmed to be Dojin's older brother, remains paralyzed by a deep-seated fear of rejection that prevents him from confessing to Hyunee. Readers now connect his inaction to their shared dysfunctional family history, adding a layer of tragedy to his ongoing romantic stalemate. Fan response has been overwhelmingly sympathetic towards Dojin, expressing anger at his parents while lauding Ji Ho's crucial role in his healing process.
