### Summary
The dynamic between agent Shihyeon and his target Hajun, previously established as a game between a "couple of liars," now incorporates a potential shared history. Following the revelation of Hajun's sexual experience, which cemented the fan perception of Shihyeon as an incompetent "dumbass" agent and Hajun as a more calculating rival spy, the narrative introduces a photograph of a child. The overwhelming reader consensus is that the child is Shihyeon ("Candy"), injecting a "childhood friends" trope into the espionage plot. This development is met with reader exasperation at Shihyeon's failure to recognize himself, leading to speculation about amnesia. A new, suspicious "blondie" character, possibly named Yanjea, has also drawn attention, with some readers finding him suspicious. Fan commentary further reveals widespread anxiety over a potential incest storyline, strong condemnation for a character who acts rudely toward a cleaner, and collective amusement at the anachronistic appearance of a Nokia 3310 phone. The central conflict is now layered with questions about the protagonists' past, adding a new dimension to their deceptive relationship.
