### Summary
This chapter shifts focus to a flashback, revealing the origin of the protagonists' mutual animosity during their original high school years. The conflict ignited when Dahae overheard Haneul telling his friends that she was not his type, citing her as "unreliable and irresponsible." Perceiving this as a major insult, Dahae retaliated with a series of pranks, such as hiding his belongings, stealing his lunch, and tripping him. This revelation has sparked a significant debate among readers, who are now divided over the nature of Dahae's actions. The dominant sentiment is that she overreacted and that her "pranks" crossed the line into bullying, making Haneul's original perception of her understandable. These readers argue that Haneul was entitled to his opinion and had previously been kind to her. A smaller contingent defends Dahae, framing the events as typical, harmless teenage squabbling and pointing out that Haneul's initial comments were unnecessarily harsh. Overall, this flashback provides crucial context for their initial "bully" versus "jerk" dynamic, standing in stark contrast to their present-day budding romance and the high-stakes mission to unmask a potential murderer stalking Dahae's sister.
