* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:For Oh Sangwoo. Seungbae manages to successfully arrest him and put him into custody, but he gets released after pulling a WoundedGazelleGambit when he was beaten up by Seungbae. He and his crimes are brought to light and public opinion of him finally turns sour, but even there he gets to experience none of the karma he would deserve after his serial killings and severe abuse on Bum; his ultimate fate is being accidentally smothered to death by an old lady who thought she was quieting a babbling nuisance.]]

However, Bum still feels extra guilty about everything, and despite it all ''still'' pines for Sangwoo. After he learns that Sangwoo was smothered by an elderly patient he hallucinates seeing Sangwoo and runs out into traffic where it is implied he is hit by a car, and even if he wasn't, it's pretty clear that Bum is even more traumatized and damaged from what he has endured and will probably never recover from it.]]

** The first chapter has a half-naked Bum [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbating over Sangwoo]]. This isn't shown to titillate, but to showcase his loneliness and obsession. Plus, it happens in the middle of a flashback that explains how he became a StalkerWithACrush and includes an AttemptedRape situation that he was subjected to when in the army.

misuse; human behavior cannot be a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome, because there's no one way that people react to things
