### Summary
The current chapter delves into Seo Taeyoon's past through a significant flashback, revealing the origins of the psychological torment he endures. This sequence introduces a new antagonist from his youth, a mullet-wearing bully who targets Taeyoon out of what readers perceive as a profound "inferiority complex," likely stemming from being a beta resentful of Taeyoon's alpha status. Speculation is rampant regarding the bully's identity, with theories suggesting he could be the chairman's son, Yeoun-Hwan, and possibly Taeyoon's half-brother. Despite the harassment, a young Taeyoon is shown to be resilient, delivering sharp comebacks and refusing to be a passive victim. The flashback also introduces a supportive friend who offers to help Taeyoon fight back, providing a rare moment of loyalty in his difficult life. Crucially, the narrative connects this past trauma to the present by revealing that the bully uses the exact same taunting phrase that the mob boss, Park Jae-in, uses on Taeyoon, highlighting a continuous pattern of abuse. This exploration of Taeyoon's history reinforces the recurring theme of him being a lifelong target for the insecurities of others, from his childhood tormentor to his current captor.
