### Summary
The chapter sharply pivots from intimacy to plot, escalating the stakes with a shocking betrayal. Following a brief tender moment between the main couple, Hajun makes the dangerous and questionable decision to leave Shihyeon behind and travel to another island alone. His mission is to seemingly surrender a crucial item, referred to as a "blueprint" or "flash drive," to their enemies. This reckless plan immediately raises concerns for his safety and questions about his judgment. However, the chapter’s central climax is the stunning reveal that their trusted, blond-haired ally, Shadow, is a traitor. This development dominates reader reactions, which are filled with a profound sense of shock, betrayal, and heartbreak over the deception by a fan-favorite character. While a few speculate it might be a double-cross against the enemy organization, Vulture, the overwhelming sentiment is one of disbelief and anger. The narrative leaves off on this dramatic cliffhanger, with Hajun walking into a perilous situation, their fragile reunion now jeopardized by the treachery of a supposed friend.
