### Summary
The fragile domestic peace between Cheong-ho and the newly returned, pregnant Yi-rim is immediately threatened by Yi-rim's deep-seated inability to rely on others. Despite promising not to disappear again, Yi-rim decides to leave their home alone at night to satisfy a craving, choosing not to wake Cheong-ho out of a profound fear of being a burden. This act of independence, rooted in his lonely upbringing in a children's home, is poised to trigger Cheong-ho’s severe abandonment issues and PTSD, which Yi-rim's previous disappearance had already exacerbated. This development has sparked immense frustration among readers, who foresee another catastrophic misunderstanding that could be avoided with simple communication, such as leaving a note. While some defend Yi-rim's behavior as a legitimate trauma response that is difficult to overcome, the consensus is that his actions are stubborn and directly undermine Cheong-ho's recent sacrifices, including ignoring his swimming coach to prioritize their relationship. The narrative has now flipped the central dynamic; where Cheong-ho once kept Yi-rim at a distance, it is now Yi-rim whose emotional walls and hyper-independence are creating a chasm between them, jeopardizing their chance at building a family.
