### Summary
The confrontation between Yuri and Mr. Lee escalates dramatically, moving beyond the previous chapter's verbal assault into physical aggression. Reader commentary indicates Yuri has injured Mr. Lee's arm or wrist and broken his phone, sparking widespread outrage. The vast majority of the audience condemns Yuri's actions, labeling him "heartless," an "asshole," and a "bully" for his cruel treatment of the already heartbroken teacher. This sentiment is matched by an outpouring of sympathy for Mr. Lee (Seonwoo), who is overwhelmingly seen as a fragile and tragic victim in need of protection. While a small minority of readers attempt to contextualize Yuri's behavior—citing his established blunt personality from the prequel "For Your Love" and his misguided desire to protect his stepsister, Heeju, from a sham marriage—most feel his actions are inexcusably harsh. The incident, possibly occurring after Mr. Lee was hurt while shielding Yuri, has solidified the chapter's angsty and painful tone, with many readers anticipating severe regret for Yuri and hoping for a future redemption arc.
