### Summary
Reader sentiment has overwhelmingly coalesced around the belief that Gusam is innocent of the original murder that made him a fugitive, despite his recent, desperate act of taking a hostage with Suchae's help. The dominant fan theory, reinforced by the latest chapter's reactions, posits that a mysterious blonde associate from Gusam's past, a character dubbed "K," is the true killer. Speculation is rampant that K framed Gusam, possibly by drugging him, as the violent nature of the crime seems inconsistent with Gusam's character. This external mystery compounds the internal complexity of the central relationship, which has been re-contextualized by the revelation that Suchae was aware of Gusam's fugitive status all along. Their bond, forged through trauma, moral ambiguity, and life on the run, continues to be the narrative's devastating emotional core. The audience remains in a state of high anxiety, bracing for a foretold tragic ending while critically engaging with the plot and desperately hoping the couple can find a way to escape their seemingly inescapable fate.
