Scope

This transcription follows the 8 ordered long story strips embedded in the supplied Chapter 220 MHT, excluding its separate title/header image. Readable dialogue, Changsung’s hidden plan, combat, and reflective narration are preserved where legible.

Content note

The chapter contains sustained fighting, criminal conspiracy, manipulation of a counselor, and emotional collapse.


Strips 001–002 — Changsung attacks the person trying to help him

Changsung continues accusing Jun-bin of arrogance.

He mocks the counselor’s moral language as lines from an ethics textbook and says they irritated him.

Then he attacks.

Changsung is physically fresh while Jun-bin is exhausted and injured from fighting the gang.

He says Jun-bin cannot handle him in that condition.

Jun-bin initially accepts the accusation that perhaps Changsung truly is a monster.

Then he raises his stance.

TRY ME.

Changsung lands repeated blows.

Jun-bin does not strike back.

The gang members cannot understand why he keeps standing without retaliating.


Strip 003 — Jun-bin demands a sincere punch

Jun-bin reminds Changsung of his own claim that an exhausted person cannot lift a fist.

He says he cannot pass out even if he wants to because Changsung’s punches remain indecisive.

If Changsung truly wants to drive him away, he must hit with conviction.

Changsung says Jun-bin expects him to be touched by the performance and kneel.

Jun-bin tells him to stop acting and speak.

Changsung then says he will accept the criminal contract under one condition.

The story turns into a fuller explanation of the deception.


Strip 004 — Changsung’s original con

Changsung had told the recruiters that his probation officer watched him closely.

He expected Jun-bin to discover the money and follow him to the meeting.

His instructions to the gang were to gather enough men to beat both Changsung and Jun-bin badly—but not kill them.

The intended outcome was:

  1. Jun-bin would believe Changsung was being dragged back into crime.
  2. Jun-bin would fight to protect him.
  3. The gang’s numbers would eventually overwhelm the adult.
  4. Changsung could return the signing money and appear to reject the operation.
  5. Jun-bin would trust him again.
  6. Changsung could later disappear and resume criminal work elsewhere.

Changsung believed Jun-bin’s personality made the trap predictable.

He did not expect the lawyer to defeat dozens of men alone.


Strip 005 — The con changed while he was performing it

Changsung apologizes to the injured Jun-bin but says the apology is not enough.

At first, he intended to fool him completely.

A week or two later, he planned to claim that his absent mother had called and use that excuse to leave.

The more Jun-bin trusted him, however, the harder it became to continue.

When the gang confrontation unfolded, Changsung abandoned important parts of the original plan.

He says that if Jun-bin is disappointed now, he may as well be an irredeemable piece of trash.

He wants Jun-bin to beat him and confirm the judgment.

Jun-bin continues refusing to provide the punishment Changsung is demanding.


Strip 006 — Changsung protects Jun-bin instinctively

The surviving gang leader becomes enraged at both of them and attacks Jun-bin.

Before the strike lands, Changsung intercepts him.

He delivers a violent, committed blow and drives the gang member down.

Jun-bin observes that this punch is different.

THAT WASN’T THE WISHY-WASHY PUNCH FROM BEFORE.

Changsung’s instinct was not to escape or protect the money.

It was to protect Jun-bin.


Strips 007–008 — A difficult change, not an impossible one

Jun-bin tells Changsung that if he can land the sincere punch he demanded, he may have his way.

The youth’s anger breaks into apology.

He kneels and reaches toward the counselor.

Na Hwa-jin observes from nearby.

He reflects that he and Jun-bin stand only a hair’s breadth apart.

Jun-bin may sometimes underestimate how dangerous offenders can be.

Na may sometimes conclude too quickly that a person cannot change.

The chapter closes on Jun-bin taking Changsung’s hand.

IT’S NOT THAT YOU CAN’T CHANGE PEOPLE FOR THE BETTER.

IT’S SIMPLY THAT DOING SO IS HARD, ISN’T IT?


Chapter-level continuity notes

Changsung tried to weaponize Jun-bin’s predictable kindness

The con depended on the counselor acting exactly as a responsible adult should.

The plan failed because the relationship changed the planner

Changsung’s behavior becomes inconsistent once disappointing Jun-bin matters more than the money.

Jun-bin refuses punishment as emotional convenience

Changsung wants a beating because being declared irredeemable would end the conflict inside him.

The sincere punch is directed at the gang, not the counselor

Changsung reveals his choice through action before he can explain it honestly.

Na does not fully adopt Jun-bin’s method

He accepts that change is possible while preserving the warning that it is difficult, uncertain, and dangerous.
