Chapter 89 ended with Choi Heesung, a figure from Jaekyung's past, confronting him about his abusive treatment of Kim Dan. Heesung told Jaekyung that Kim Dan would be crazy to date him after everything he's done, then left after warning Jaekyung to control his temper and count less on his support.

The chapter focused heavily on emotional realization and confrontation: The Slap of Reality

Visually, the artistry in this chapter heightens the emotional weight. The use of shadow and close-up panels captures the desperation in their expressions, making the silence between them speak louder than the dialogue. It is a masterclass in pacing, lingering on the moments of realization that will undoubtedly change the trajectory of the final volumes.

The manhwa is typically released on a weekly basis, but there have been several hiatuses. The numbering on official sites (Lezhin) is the only "verified" numbering system.

To understand the gravity of Chapter 90, one must contextualize it within the "karma" arc that precedes it. For much of the series, the dynamic between the stoic, domineering champion Jaekyung and the financially desperate physical therapist Kim Dan has been defined by a transactional imbalance. Jaekyung holds all the cards: wealth, status, and physical power. However, the events leading up to Chapter 90 flip this script. Jaekyung’s injury and subsequent reliance on Kim Dan force him into a position of helplessness he has never known. Chapter 90 is the narrative crystallization of this role reversal. It is the moment where the "Jinx" is not just a superstitious concept regarding luck, but a tangible consequence of hubris.

The internal monologue that accompanies this gesture is the key to unlocking the entire chapter. Jaekyung’s thought is not, "Come back," or "I need you," or even a demanding, "Don't leave." Instead, he asks himself: "". For a character whose entire identity has been built on power, dominance, and an unshakable sense of self-importance, this is a monumental shift. It is a moment of profound vulnerability, where Jaekyung reveals a nascent conviction that he is the origin of harm, someone whose presence has become synonymous with pain, and therefore someone who has lost the right to reach out. He is not merely someone who made mistakes, but someone who sees himself as fundamentally broken in his ability to connect.

The core of Chapter 90 centers on Jaekyung finally confronting the reality of his past treatment of Kim Dan.

The anticipation surrounding has reached a fever pitch, with fans eagerly scouring the internet for verified updates regarding the next installment of Mingwa’s intense and emotionally charged series. As one of the most popular and dramatic BL manhwas currently running, every chapter, particularly as the story approaches major milestones, brings intense speculation, leaks, and demand for accurate release information.
