### Summary
The narrative escalates dramatically as Gonghyun forcibly kisses Shim Cheongsun at their workplace, a pivotal act that is overwhelmingly condemned by readers as sexual harassment. This non-consensual encounter is seen as a gross abuse of his CEO authority and a profound failure of communication, solidifying his characterization as a self-centered and immature "man child." Readers note that despite the ten-year time skip, Gonghyun seems to have regressed, acting "worse now" and repeating the pattern of violating Cheongsun's boundaries. The kiss is perceived as a jealous, possessive reaction to Cheongsun interacting with a new colleague, a "Mr. Park," who witnesses the event. This public display of aggression exacerbates Cheongsun's already difficult work situation, where he is vulnerable to dangerous rumors, and reinforces the toxic power dynamic that has long defined their relationship. While a very small minority of readers found the moment romantic, the dominant response is one of anger and disappointment, with many criticizing the story for leaning into harmful "typical ceo romance" tropes. The event underscores Gonghyun's failure to atone for his past, instead showing him actively making things harder for Cheongsun once again.
