### Summary
The direct confrontation between Shihyeon and his rival agent, Adam (also known as Uno or Adrien), reveals a stunning new layer of betrayal. The order to assassinate Hajun did not originate from Adam's personal jealousy but came directly from their agency's leadership. This revelation drastically reframes the narrative, shifting the primary antagonism from Adam to the manipulative spy organization itself. Reader perception of Adam has pivoted significantly, with many now viewing his actions as a misguided, tragic attempt to spare Shihyeon the emotional trauma of having to kill his own lover. This has generated a wave of sympathy for Adam's unrequited feelings for "Candy." Shihyeon's reaction to this betrayal by his superiors is one of explosive rage, powerfully symbolized by him shattering a famously indestructible Nokia phone—an act of impossible strength that has dominated audience discussion. The conflict has now escalated beyond a personal love triangle, positioning Shihyeon against the very agency he once served, forcing a potential rebellion fueled by love and fury.
