## Chapter

### Summary
The toxic and painful cycle between Yuri and his former teacher, Seonwoo (Mr. Lee), persists, leaving readers emotionally exhausted yet deeply engaged. Audience perception of Seonwoo is complex; he is seen as a pitiful figure of chronic depression, but readers also praise moments where he defends himself against Yuri's aggression. Yuri's character remains a point of contention, with readers acknowledging his anger as justified by Seonwoo's fixation on Jungho, while simultaneously condemning his hypocrisy, shamelessness, and violent, forceful advances as sexual harassment. This debate is compounded by narrative confusion, as readers question the story's timeline concerning the wedding of Yuri's step-sister, Heeju, an issue exacerbated by the previous chapter's frustrating censorship. Sentiment towards Heeju is overwhelmingly negative, with many readers calling her "ugly" and urging Yuri to move on. Despite the bleak and emotionally taxing tone that has some readers feeling fed up, the audience remains captivated by the raw, volatile portrayal of shared anger and hopelessness, analyzing the characters' messy feelings even as they find the story's anguish almost unbearable.
