### Summary
Following his emotional reunion with his uncle, Shim Cheongsun makes the drastic decision to use his entire life savings to pay off his cousin's debts, an act driven by his profound longing for a family connection. This has ignited a significant conflict with Gonghyun, who, knowing the hardships Cheongsun endured to earn that money, reacts with anger and concern. Gonghyun's response is seen by many readers as controlling and privileged, a failure to understand Cheongsun's deep-seated emotional needs after a lifetime of feeling abandoned. The dispute has divided the audience, sparking a debate between Cheongsun's right to financial autonomy and Gonghyun's protective, albeit overbearing, instincts. This clash resurrects the couple's historic power imbalances surrounding money, with some readers drawing a direct parallel to Gonghyun's insensitive payment of Cheongsun's tuition ten years prior. The situation is complicated by the uncle's integrity, as he is a decent man trying to take responsibility for his son, subverting the common trope of an exploitative relative. With the series finale looming, this realistic argument over finances and personal boundaries presents a critical test for the couple's partnership.
