### Summary
The perception of Shihyeon as a bumbling agent intensifies, with readers overwhelmingly questioning his "SS-rank" status due to his comical lack of composure. A central incident in the chapter sees Shihyeon, after skillfully saving a girl from falling, trip and create an embarrassing scene the moment he lays eyes on his target, Hajun. This has led to widespread secondhand embarrassment and mockery, with many labeling him a "dumbass" who is unbelievably bad at his job. The dominant fan theory is that Shihyeon's professional skills completely evaporate in Hajun's presence, a phenomenon attributed either to him being genuinely flustered by love or simply outmaneuvered. A minority of readers offer a counter-narrative, suggesting his clumsiness is a calculated act of deep cover, a brilliant ploy to appear harmless. Meanwhile, suspicion around Hajun continues to grow, with fans speculating he is a rival agent who may be orchestrating events, such as a potential fire, to manipulate Shihyeon further. The reveal of Shihyeon's undercover job as a janitor, rather than a student, adds another layer of absurdity to his mission, cementing the dynamic of a supposedly elite spy who becomes a complete mess around his enigmatic target.
