Strips 1–3 — Min-seo waits for parents who cannot return¶
The chapter opens in a child-protection facility.
A caregiver reads Hansel and Gretel. She reaches the ending in which the father apologizes, the children forgive him, and the family lives happily ever after.
Min-seo immediately asks:
“TEACHER~ BUT WHEN ARE MY MOM AND DAD COMING?”
“I CAN GO HOME NOW, I’M NOT HURT ANYMORE.”
He looks toward the doorway.
“BUT MOM AND DAD ARE NOT HERE…”
The caregiver kneels beside him and explains:
“YOUR MOM AND DAD ARE NOT GOING TO COME ANYMORE…”
“YOUR PARENTS ARE NOT READY TO RAISE YOU UP YET…”
The fairy-tale ending has given Min-seo a model of instant family restoration that reality cannot provide.
Strips 3–5 — Medical reporting and arrest¶
A recap explains that on the night Min-seo’s family was transported to the emergency room, doctors found clear signs of child abuse and immediately notified police.
Min-seo’s mother remained silent during questioning.
Dong-cheol eventually disclosed what both adults had done to the child.
The parents were arrested on child-abuse charges and placed in detention pending trial.
The images show police corridors, institutional doors, and the family physically separated.
Strips 5–8 — Na is warned about public scrutiny¶
An agency superior confronts Na after the case.
“YOU’RE LUCKY, YOU PUNK.”
He says the victim or affected party agreed to resolve Na’s own excessive use of force quietly and without conditions.
The official asks whether Na now intends to interfere with every problem in the world.
He senses reporters nearby and orders Na to behave.
“THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ALREADY THAT DON’T SEE US AS A PROTECTION AGENCY FOR TEACHERS…”
He reminds Na that the Teachers’ Rights Protection Agency was originally expected to be temporary and might disappear after enough political attacks.
Then, despite the warning, he tells Na not to become timid and to do what he believes is necessary.
Na admits:
“I KNOW. I WENT OVERBOARD.”
The exchange recognizes both the urgency of the case and the danger of unrestrained intervention.
Strips 9–10 — Punishment cannot remove attachment¶
Na reflects that the perpetrators remained unable to control themselves even after being given a prolonged chance.
“IT WAS OVER WHEN I PUNISHED THEM.”
But the emotional result is not simple.
“THE PERPETRATOR IS THE VICTIM’S EVERYTHING.”
Min-seo cries uncontrollably for his mother and father.
“I WANT MOM AND DAD!”
Na acknowledges:
“IT’S REALLY HARD.”
Six months pass.
The child’s attachment to abusive parents remains real even after adults remove him for safety.
Strip 11 — Sentencing¶
A court imposes sentences.
Defendant Won Seo-yeon, Min-seo’s mother:
“ONE YEAR AND 4 MONTHS IN PRISON.”
Defendant Go Dong-cheol, Min-seo’s father:
“6 MONTHS IN PRISON. ONE YEAR PROBATION.”
The court also orders temporary protective measures against the child abusers.
The different sentences reflect the mother’s more severe direct violence while still recognizing Dong-cheol’s responsibility.
Strips 12–16 — A forbidden reunion¶
After release or during probation, Dong-cheol goes to the protection facility.
He sees Min-seo through or near a fence.
The child recognizes him:
“DAD!”
Min-seo runs toward him, crying loudly.
The panels stretch out the reunion through close-ups of reaching arms, tears, and the father’s stunned expression.
Dong-cheol kneels and embraces him.
Strips 17–20 — Dong-cheol leaves Min-seo in safety¶
Dong-cheol tells Min-seo:
“THIS PLACE IS BETTER THAN HOME.”
“YOU HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS…”
“YOU DON’T GET HIT HERE…”
He admits:
“I HAVE BEEN MEAN TO YOU ALL THIS TIME.”
“BUT STILL YOU WANT TO FOLLOW ME?”
He says:
“MIN-SEO, I’M A BAD DAD.”
“I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP IN FRONT OF YOU.”
A note explains the temporary measure prohibiting a child abuser from approaching within one hundred meters of the victim child, family members, or protection facility.
Dong-cheol warns that if anyone sees him, he will be in trouble again.
He promises:
“WHEN I BECOME NICE AND GET PERMISSION TO RAISE YOU…”
“I’LL DEFINITELY COME TO PICK YOU UP.”
He leaves instead of abducting the child or demanding immediate forgiveness.
Min-seo remains crying behind him.
The chapter offers no guarantee that Dong-cheol will become fit to parent; it shows only that he finally accepts separation as part of responsibility.
Strips 21–22 — A new child is found unconscious¶
The setting changes to another family home.
Parents call through a locked bathroom door:
“SON~ HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN THERE, HURRY, COME OUT AND EAT.”
They become irritated when Lee Sang-wook does not answer.
His father demands the key.
When they enter, Sang-wook is unresponsive.
The mother screams:
“SANG-WOOK!”
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING! CALL THE AMBULANCE, HURRY!”
The scene initiates the next school-violence case.
Strip 23 — Threatening messages¶
A laptop or phone continues chiming beside Sang-wook.
Messages read:
- “Wook it’s me…”
- “Woah you’ve read it? Look at you acting cool—”
- “You’re going to keep ignoring me? Hehehehe Wook are you going to keep this up? Or did you forget the situation?”
- A reference to Sang-wook’s five-day attendance suspension
- “Wow~ time flies by fast, it’s already been 5 days?”
- “Now that I think about it, you really made me fucking annoyed for 5 days…”
- “We’re finally going to meet again tomorrow???”
His parents repeatedly shout:
“WAKE UP, SANG-WOOK!”
The threatening sender is eagerly awaiting the end of a temporary disciplinary separation.
Strip 24 — Chapter title transition and end material¶
The final story panel emphasizes Sang-wook’s name before the scanlation recruitment and support notices.
Chapter-level observations¶
1. Child protection requires accepting grief¶
Removing Min-seo is necessary, but it does not make him stop loving or missing his parents.
2. Dong-cheol’s most responsible act is leaving¶
For the first time, he prioritizes Min-seo’s safe environment over his own desire to be recognized as the father.
3. Temporary punishment can create a countdown for retaliation¶
Sang-wook’s aggressor treats the five-day suspension not as correction but as time to build anticipation.
4. The chapter connects two kinds of adult failure¶
One case involves parents unfit to raise a child. The new case begins with a school system whose disciplinary measure may have left a victim exposed immediately afterward.
