### Summary
This chapter focuses on a pivotal moment of closure as the antagonistic professor formally apologizes to Shim Cheongsun for the past academic injustice that contributed to his breakdown. The apology has elicited a deeply divided response from readers; while some find the act of contrition meaningful and a rare display of adult accountability, many remain unforgiving, condemning the professor's original pettiness and the lasting trauma he inflicted. This event is contrasted with ongoing criticism of Gonghyun, whose behavior as CEO is viewed as unprofessional and manipulative. His attempt to delay a business meeting for a private 30-minute conversation with Cheongsun is met with suspicion, reinforcing the belief that the toxic power dynamic persists and that he has not fundamentally changed. The chapter also introduces a mysterious and attractive new character, sparking speculation about his identity, his potential connection to Gonghyun's deceased brother, and the possibility of his role as a second love interest. Ultimately, the narrative continues to hinge on Cheongsun's internal conflict, balancing moments of emotional resolution with the unresolved tension of Gonghyun's problematic pursuit.
