### Summary
Following the devastating misunderstanding of witnessing Hajun in an intimate embrace with another man, a heartbroken Shihyeon goes drinking with his rival agent, Adam (also known as Uno). The chapter’s central conflict ignites when Adam takes advantage of Shihyeon's intoxicated and vulnerable state, kissing him. This non-consensual act has profoundly fractured the readership. A surprisingly large and vocal portion of the audience finds themselves unexpectedly supportive of the new pairing, citing a strong chemistry between the two agents and succumbing to "second male lead syndrome." Many readers confess they are "not mad" and are actively "shipping" the new couple, willing to overlook the problematic circumstances. Conversely, this reaction is met with sharp condemnation from other readers who are angered and disgusted by the event, identifying it as sexual assault and criticizing those who romanticize it. This deep division leaves the audience in a state of emotional turmoil, torn between loyalty to the original ship with Hajun and the sudden, controversial appeal of Adam. The narrative is now firmly entrenched in a complex love triangle driven by miscommunication, jealousy, and the protagonist's profound emotional isolation.
