### Summary
The intense elevator encounter takes a dramatic turn when the man suffers a severe panic attack, presumably from claustrophobia. Soohee, despite her own fear, manages to help him, but her internal reaction is a source of major reader commentary; she is simultaneously aroused by his vulnerable state, having "dirty thoughts" and finding his crying face "hot." Once she is able to, she flees the scene in a mortified rush, but in her panic, she leaves her phone behind. This act has generated immense frustration among readers, who are exasperated that the phone is not only abandoned but also unlocked with message notifications visible. The chapter culminates in a high-stakes cliffhanger as the man picks up her phone, where incoming messages are about to expose her identity as his online partner. The audience's "second-hand embarrassment" has reached a fever pitch, with many calling her an "idiot," while a significant portion continues to contextualize her deeply clumsy and panicked behavior as a direct result of the trauma from her sheltered, repressive upbringing.
