Checkmate — Chapter 44

Phew, **Checkmate 〘R〙 Chapter 41** really got readers talking! 🥵 First off, everyone agrees the art is *chef's kiss*, especially when it comes to how drop-dead gorgeous both Soohyun and Eunsung looked this chapter. (Soohyun in glasses got a special shout-out!).

The main event, the bathroom scene, was definitely a hot topic! 🔥 Readers were feeling the heat and the intense dynamic between the two. However, the biggest point of discussion (and maybe a little frustration?) is Soohyun's legendary denseness. 😂 Despite Eunsung's intense actions and gaze, Soohyun still seems to be questioning his motives, leading to hilarious reactions like "My brother in crisis, how are you this dumb?!?" and "he’s so dense".

There's a bit of debate on Eunsung's side – is he purely turned on? Or is this a complex mix of genuine feelings, gratitude for Soohyun saving him, and maybe even a trauma response or coping mechanism after everything with Park? 🤔 Regardless, readers are loving the evolving push and pull and appreciate how well the author writes this dynamic, even if it started toxic.

And just when things were getting *really* intense, the chapter ends on a classic manhwa cliffhanger! 😱 Everyone's on edge wondering if they're about to get busted, especially with Minseok making an appearance. The anticipation for the next chapter is *real*!
