### Summary
Reader suspicion has reached a fever pitch, with the overwhelming consensus being that nearly every character is untrustworthy. A new yellow-haired man, identified as Hajun’s friend or colleague, has become a primary focus of this distrust, with many readers labeling him "sus." This sentiment extends to the agents' own organization, as the HQ is widely believed to be corrupt, a trope readers find common in spy stories. Criticism persists regarding the agents' lack of professionalism, particularly their ongoing habit of discussing secret mission details in a public university stairwell. While the new agent, Adam Kelly (also called Uno), remains a divisive figure—simultaneously considered attractive for his tattoos and annoying by others—the operative known as Shadow continues to be a fan favorite, praised for his appearance and perceived loyalty. Amidst this web of potential betrayals, protagonist Shihyeon ("Red Candy") is viewed as the only one out of the loop, leaving readers to speculate that the entire mission may be a setup with ulterior motives.
