## Chapter
- number: 102
- release_date: 2025-03-13

### Summary
Following the previous chapter's devastating rejection, the narrative focuses on Yuri's raw and palpable desperation to prevent Seonwoo (Mr. Lee) from leaving. This emotional collapse is conveyed through heart-wrenching acts of begging and pleading, with Yuri repeatedly calling Seonwoo's name into his back, only to be met with silence—a painful, unreciprocated parallel to their recent intimacy. The chapter solidifies the complete inversion of their original dynamic, transforming the once-cruel Yuri into a vulnerable, pleading figure whose profound suffering now elicits deep sympathy. His emotional spiral is further evidenced by the return of his self-destructive habit of picking at his thumb. While Seonwoo remains emotionally distant and walled-off by his own trauma, rationalizing their connection away, Yuri's desperation reaches a dangerous precipice, with some readers speculating he may even leverage a physical confrontation with an antagonist as a last-ditch effort to make Seonwoo stay. The chapter functions as a gut-wrenching portrayal of Yuri's fear of abandonment, underscoring how their shared trauma continues to sabotage any potential for a genuine bond.
