### Summary
The current chapter explores the immediate, painful aftermath of the previous revelation, shifting the focus to Shim Cheongsun's response. In a direct parallel to Gonghyun's past actions, Cheongsun attempts to flee the emotional turmoil by quitting his job, an act that readers interpret as a manifestation of his deep-seated insecurities and trauma. His decision is rooted in a profound fear of abandonment, stemming from his history as an orphan who was never reclaimed by his parents, and a justifiable distrust of Gonghyun, who made no attempt to find him for a decade. While readers express immense frustration over the characters' cyclical miscommunication, many empathize with Cheongsun's self-protective cowardice. The chapter builds to a powerfully symbolic and emotionally devastating climax: Gonghyun travels to the orphanage, the site of Cheongsun's original abandonment, to find him. This act of finally coming to "pick him up" directly confronts Cheongsun's core trauma, leaving readers overwhelmed with the painful significance of the moment and the fragile possibility of breaking their destructive patterns.
