Heat and Run — Chapter 45

Oh, Heat and Run Chapter 44 had readers absolutely buzzing! 😍 Many were completely smitten with young Jaeho, who was *already* dreaming of Ian as his "mate" from such a tender age. "My heart!" and "such a cutie" were common cries – his deep, innocent affection for Ian is just too adorable!

But the chapter also peeled back layers on Matthew, revealing a truly "shitty" family environment. Readers quickly pointed out his parents' negative impact, making it "very obvious" why he became an "obsessive perfectionist." There's a strong current of sympathy, with many feeling "a little bad" for Matthew. However, the verdict is split: while the backstory offers context, a good number of fans firmly declared, "he's still a shitty person tho" and "he needs therapy!"

And let's not forget the unexpected literary Easter egg! Everyone was talking about young Matthew reading "To Kill a Mockingbird." 📚 This detail sparked awe and concern, wondering what kind of childhood led to such a mature book choice at his age. What a chapter for character insights!
