### Summary
The chapter's climactic revelation has readers convinced that Hajun is aware of Shihyeon's deception, sparking widespread speculation about how much he knows and whether he has a hidden connection to the spy world himself. This anticipated drama is juxtaposed with continued reader amusement at Shihyeon's incompetence as an "SS Rank Agent," with many finding it hilarious that he was unable to free himself from toy handcuffs. The chapter's intimate scene became a major point of contention, drawing significant criticism for its unrealistic portrayal of anal sex. Readers overwhelmingly voiced frustration and concern over the lack of proper preparation, specifically the absence of lubricant and the inadequate use of only saliva, leading to a discourse on sexual health and authorial research. A smaller number of comments also pointed out potential continuity errors, questioning how the handcuffs were removed and how characters' clothing changed, suggesting that panels might be missing. While the overarching reaction is excitement for the impending conflict, the commentary is dominated by the twin pillars of Hajun’s suspected knowledge and the critique of the poorly executed sexual encounter.
