### Summary
The physical consummation of Shim Cheongsun and Gonghyun's relationship is depicted as a tragic and painful event rather than a romantic one, stemming from a desperate agreement. The encounter is fraught with emotional anguish, highlighting Cheongsun's vulnerability and what readers perceive as Gonghyun's exploitation. A significant point of reader outrage was Gonghyun's refusal to use a condom, justifying it with the shocking statement that Cheongsun is "not a woman." This comment was widely condemned as selfish and dangerous, particularly given Gonghyun's promiscuous reputation. Reader reactions to the current chapter's portrayal are complex and divided. While many express heartbreak and continue to criticize the toxic power dynamic, others praise the author's skillful depiction of intimacy, describing the censored scene as "beautifully sexy" and intense, leading many to seek out a mature, uncensored version. Despite the painful context, some readers appreciate the artistic execution, while others remain focused on the demeaning nature of the act and are cynical about any subsequent suggestions of Gonghyun feeling responsible or wanting to "date properly."
