And another thing! This chapter was relevant to the story because if you recall chapter 11, when Mincheol is trying to have a quick-y with Haesoo, she tells him to grab a condom because it wasn’t a safe day and he THREW BACK IN HER FACE that she couldn’t have kids anyway. At the time, it seemed like she was infertile, but this chapter showed that her infertility is a product of her environment (that he himself has put her in) and not a problem with her body, which he forgets about and we, as an audience, didn’t know.
These flash backs show reasons why Haesoo stayed and they show Mincheol’s thoughts at the time, which he’s forgotten.

Young Mincheol was naive, yes, but he was sincere. With this new chapter, we see that most of his f-k ups were because he was trying to be a better man for Haesoo. He’s just a kid with no guidance, and the one person he considered a mentor screwed him over too. His feelings of inaptitude will spill over to feelings of resentment towards Haesoo, since he technically took on financial risks for her sake (though really it’s for his sake, since Haesoo is mostly upset she can’t give him what he wants- a family).
Also, I don’t get all the hate for the latest chapters. It’s called background info. It’s alllllll relevant to the story. If yall are hating every chapter go read something else. This is a slow burn so if you’re impatient come back next year or something, damn.
