### Summary
The current narrative centers on the revelation of Jiho's "villain's origin story," which stems from a pivotal misunderstanding in the past. Following Gaon's amnesiac return to the present, it is now understood that Jiho's deep-seated bitterness is rooted in his belief that she cruelly threw away a confession letter he wrote in high school. This event compounds the tragic miscommunication created when Gaon was supernaturally ripped from the past at the moment of his verbal confession, leaving him to believe he was rejected. Reader discussion is consumed by speculation over who is truly responsible for the discarded letter. While many fans immediately blame the historically polarizing Sera, a significant portion of the audience defends her, pointing to other possibilities. Alternative theories suggest that the original, pre-time-travel Gaon may have accidentally thrown it away due to her established dismissive nature, or that a supernatural character like the "ghost guy" or the future shaman, Dohwa, may have intervened to preserve the timeline. Regardless of the culprit, this core misunderstanding has cemented Jiho's resentment and creates a major obstacle for any future reconciliation, as he is now primed to view any of Gaon's attempts to get closer with suspicion.
